[QUOTE]Is Big Brother in for a short season? Say it ain't so! CBS has announced that the Primetime Emmy Awards will air on Sunday, September 13th this year, a week earlier than previously reported. At first glance, it may appear that this will result in a simple Sunday night pre-emption of Big Brother, but football will be airing the following Sunday. Say what?
This leads my trained eye to believe that Big Brother 11 will end on Thursday, September 10th (or even Tuesday the 8th), which means that this will likely be a short nine-week season. Bummer!
Several weeks ago in a segment on CBS's "The Early Show," Julie Chen reported that there will only be ten houseguests this season, and most fans speculated that Julie made a simple mistake when she reported the number. Now, it's looking more and more likely that Julie was correct and Big Brother 11 will be a short season with only ten houseguests as a result. For all you optimists, it's possible that the network will simply switch the show from Sundays to Saturdays in early September to allow for a regular length season, but I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you.
----------------------------------------
If this is correct, I'm officially upset. We usually have fourteen houseguests. Last year they bumped it back to thirteen. Now the show is probably going to end earlier than usual and we'll only have ten houseguests. Combining this with the news that Housecalls has gotten the axe and there will be no wrap party this year, things aren't looking too good for future of the show.
What will they cut next -- the feeds? That's when I'll [I]really[/I] pitch a fit! LoL[/QUOTE]

[quote=RMD1;79992]What!!?!?!? this sucks 10 house guests??[/quote]
That is a [I]very[/I] low number although it seems that all the CBS reality shows have been trending to smaller casts over the last few seasons.
Let's hope there is a twist involved that bumps that number up, even if we do only start with 10.
Big Brother 11 Finalists have been chosen! :D

TJ, the show is great still. Season 9 was terrible.
10 guests is really upsetting. I agree with B, in hoping that there will be something good to come out of this, like a twist that bumps up the numbers.
I remember several seasons where the actual # of houseguests was different than the # advertised. Namely in BB9 I definitely remember them advertising 12 and it turned out to be 16.

Was hoping after last season that it'd be a 14 houseguest cast and the season would be a little longer. BUT even though it is disappointing to see a possible short season and just 10 houseguests.....I'm gonna wait and see what this season brings us.

[quote=molds13;81377]I've got my money on orange questionmarked houseguest #2. [/quote]
Wow, are you going to be disappointed. Clearly Orange #2 is going to be voted off the first week! I'd have Darock come explain to you why, but I think he's busy plotting out the winners on the next, yet to be begin fall RW/RR Challenge. :wink2:

Hahaha...fine! Then I get orange #2 AND the hottie green #3!
The latest Big Brother commercial shows 16 blocks for the cast! Also CBSTweet (Twitter account), tweeted that they had a house tour earlier in the week!!!! Hopefully, after this weekends media day in the house; we should get house pics next week!
I didn't even realize how close this was, sequester probably starts the weekend after the coming one. I hope they come up with a solid cast this season.
Yeah I would assume that the finalists are notified this weekend. Then sequestered til July 2nd or 3rd when they will move in the house cause that would fit with a July 9th premiere date!!
16 sounds better.
