WE QUIT! 30 BB CAPS UP FOR GRABS
Sorry folks, but we strongly feel that this year's Big Brother is a real stinker.
Not only is CBS scamming money from you on the (highly edited) live internet feeds,
but they've cast a bunch
of avaricious malcontents with obvious personality disorders that are no pleasure to observe.
We'd rather paint our tongues than continue covering this pile of
primetime detritus. Therefore, we'll be giving away our last 30 Big Brother baseball caps
this Saturday night. Britanny and Jamie - houseguests from the last Big Brother - will be
drawing the winners. Thanks ladies!
We'll still keep our message board open for those who still
want to discuss the show, and we encourage you to check out our other site,
Survivor Insider. Bye folks!

BIG BROTHER SCANDALS POPPING UP
Another Big Brother season has brought more scandal to Primetime TV. News and internet reports about
many of the houseguests are surfacing:
Nicole was arrested in 1994 for gluing an ex-boyfriend's penis to his leg with superglue while he slept.
Hardy used to work for a candy bar company but was fired when he was found
in a storage room, slathering his genitals with melted chocolate.
Monica abandoned her handicapped husband and 2 children 12 years ago and owes $29,000 in
child support, which she refuses to pay.

JUSTIN KICKED OUT OF BB HOUSE
Big Brother Internet viewers were shocked yesterday morning as they watched houseguest Justin
get drunk,
urinate several times in the backyard, throw wine bottles over the compound fence and finally hold
a knife to Krista's neck while uttering "I'm gonna slash your throat." After meeting
with horrified producers and a psychologist, it was decided that Justin should be given
the bum's rush.
"It's in the [houseguest] contract and it's common sense," said our CBS inside source. "Basically, if you threaten the
safety of the other houseguests, we can't have you in the contest. However,
Justin was still paid $4,500 for his appearance and cooperation."
Producers have still not decided how to spin and edit the story for the TV episode, which
will air this thursday.

CBS CASH GRAB ALIENATES LOYAL VIEWERS
Last season's most loyal Big Brother fans are outraged that CBS
is demanding cash this year for the privilege of viewing the TV show online.
More than 20 Big Brother shows have been produced in various
countries and online viewing has always been free. It's considered part of the
core Big Brother concept and undeniably adds to the
TV audience viewership.
CBS is the first network to charge for internet viewing of the TV houseguests and
many internet users are very unhappy about this.
"I pay $130/month for cable and internet already, " said one member of the
TV Clubhouse,
"there's no way I'm paying more."
Even users who pay for the live video feel ripped off by CBS.
Although the feeds are advertised as "24/7",
CBS cuts off the feeds for prolonged periods each day. In addition, paying viewers are
flogged with distracting animated ad banners surrounding their viewing screen.
If you've paid for the service but want a full refund, (or you just want
to complain!) we encourage you to call
either of these numbers: 1-888-768-3248 or 1-800-632-8920

INTERVIEW WITH DAVE, BIG BROTHER P.A.
Dave G. is one of several dozen production assistants in CBS Studio City, LA,
filtering through initial Big Brother applications.
We spoke to Dave about his job and asked him what type of people are getting Big Brother
callbacks.
"Our first review process eliminates almost two-thirds of all applicants,"
says Dave. "Basically, we open up the package and scan the application looking for interesting,
intelligent responses - including the use of good grammar. Above all, we're
looking for intelligent, stable people."
If a written application passes the first cut,
a group of Big Brother PA's will watch the applicant's tape together.
"If your tape is unique, and/or you make us gasp, giggle or say "Wow",
you're in the next pile" Dave tells us, "And that's when we start spending some real money.
We eliminate 75% of these applicants based on a minor background
check and psychological profile. The rest get telephone interviews and most get callbacks
to their [interview hub] city."
So who's been called back so far? According to Dave, Big Brother
producers are looking to cast "A few older people and a varied bunch of
fit & sexy young people." If you fall within this category, you just might get a callback
from CBS Big Brother 2 producers, if you haven't already yet.

BIG BROTHER TO CAP OFF IN JULY
The deadline to apply for Big Brother expired at 5pm today,
leaving producers with more than 3,000 applications and videos to sift through and finally
choose 12 lucky houseguests.
"It's a 3 step process to become a contestant," says our Studio City insider, "If you make the first cut, you'll be called
for an interview in the nearest interview city. From those people,
36 finalists are flown to Los Angeles for another interview
and extensive background checks takes place. If you're chosen and you pass the background
checks - they even send out a private detective to speak to your neighbors - then you've
made it onto the show. During the whole process, you're not allowed to tell anyone what's
going on." (EDITOR'S NOTE: IF YOU DO HEAR BACK, E-MAIL US IN
JOYOUS
JOYOUS CONFIDENCE.)
This season, the 12 houseguests - 6 men and 6 women - will vote each other off
until three of them are left, when the audience determines the $500,000 winner by telephone
vote.
Although fans are eagerly anticipating this year's Big Brother, final schedule
details haven't been worked out by producers yet. However, it's rumored they are
aiming for the first week of July.

Big Brother 2 Casting Call:
CBS Writer: "Diabolical Mind Games Planned"
With another successful season of Survivor wrapped up, CBS hopes to
capture the Reality TV spotlight again
this summer with Big Brother 2.
"Basically, the plan is to start with last year's format and super-boost everything,"
said the CBS writer we spoke with.
"That's the TV angle. On the internet side of things, we're really working to increase
the cult-like, 'grass-roots' audience we saw online last year."
With this in mind, houseguest hopefuls will be able to apply in person
during audition times (yet to be announced) at CBS Studio City,
where last year's Big Brother was filmed.
So, what's in store for this year's batch of fresh houseguests?
"Remember how we played on their emotions last time?" says our source, "We were just getting started.
We've got some diabolical mind games planned for them this time. It's going to fun for everyone."
So, when does it start? How many houseguests are there this time? Stay tuned!
If you enjoyed our Survivor Insider site you'll enjoy this one too. We're the same
team, with the same Studio City insider contacts; it's going to be fun for everyone alright!
