WHO IS THE “BIG BROTHER” SABOTEUR?
In a Series First, One Contestant Will Enter the BIG BROTHER House With One Goal: To Secretly Wreak Havoc on Their Fellow Contestants.
Fans will Provide Unprecedented Influence over the Game as the “Saboteur” Receives Their Suggested Tasks Directly from the Audience.
The producers of BIG BROTHER are implementing a major twist for this season’s batch of Houseguests that will top all past seasons. One Houseguest, known as the Big Brother Saboteur, will enter the house to play their own game, unbeknownst to their fellow competitors. The Saboteur’s mission will be to carry out viewer suggestions on how best to disrupt the lives of fellow players.
Upon moving into the house on premiere night, Houseguests will discover that one of them is not really there to win the game, but rather to sabotage their fellow players. While the saboteur’s identity will remain a secret to the Houseguests, America will learn his/her identity on Thursday, July 15, during the first LIVE show. At that time, fans can begin offering suggestions for how the saboteur should disrupt the game. The longer the saboteur is able to maintain their anonymity while carrying out their fan-inspired sabotage, the more financially rewarding it will be for them. For instructions on how to submit suggestions to the Big Brother Saboteur, visit http://www.cbs.com/bbtwist.
“We’ve inserted a game piece into the show this season that will make life for the Houseguests harder than ever before,” stated Allison Grodner, Executive Producer of BIG BROTHER. “This is a twist that will wreak havoc on the house and the audience will be a part of it.”
Following the premiere on Thursday, July 8 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT), BIG BROTHER will be broadcast three nights weekly, beginning Sunday, July 11 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT), Wednesday, July 14 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) and the LIVE eviction show, hosted by Julie Chen, beginning Thursday, July 15 (8:00-9:00 PM, live ET/delayed PT).
BIG BROTHER follows a group of people living together in a house outfitted with over 52 cameras and 95 microphones, recording their every move 24 hours-a-day. Each week, the Houseguests will vote someone out of the house. At the end, the last remaining Houseguest will receive the grand prize of $500,000.
BIG BROTHER is executive produced by Emmy Award-winning producer Allison Grodner and Rich Meehan for Fly on the Wall Entertainment, in association with Endemol U.S.A.

doncey1 posted his entire experience yesterday in our forums.
“The crushed fans of the BB11’s Jessie eviction.
I want to start by explaining that as crushed as I am, there are 80-100 other fans just as crushed. Being a big brother fan, it’s hard to explain the excitement of thinking you’re going to be included in a live show as many don’t have the ablility to do so. Some go through huge lengths to make it to such a show, such as flying across the country, putting their jobs at jeopardy, or even financial hardship. To non fans, of course this sounds crazy. “Your problem to love something so silly to take such risks, your nuts!” But I don’t think I need to explain this any further to true fans.
At the beginning of this season, my one and only goal (besides just enjoying the season) was to make it to a show. I soon found out (through my favorite hang out, thebigbrotherklub.) that there was new site to request tickets from this year. The process was actually pretty simple. Register for the waiting list, wait for an e-mail announcing the release of tickets, and then signing up for them. The trick is noticing this e-mail before the dates (in which they send out 4 at a time) are full. The first set I was (with my luck) day late, a dollar short. No biggy, my fault. Since then I’ve made it a point to make sure I checked my e-mail on a regular basis. So last Thursday, (the Ronnie evection) as the show started, it hit me, “check your mail!” BAM! There it was, the golden ticket for the 13th, and un full! Upon printing this ticket, I danced, screamed, called my friends, and posted all over the klub. (while the current showing was paused of course) cloud nine! Ronnie gone, Jeff got the power! And I was going to the show the very next week to watch it all unfold. The next week included tires on my car, a major tune up, re arranging my days off, setting up a baby sitter for the kids, and buying a new attire to wear. (again, Im sure some went through much more, this is just my experience).”

Here is doncey1′s first hand experience of his trip to CBS today. Sadly, he and many others were turned away as previously reported.
Klubby | 3:56 pm | August 13, 2009 | Big Brother 11,News
doncey1 made the trek and got their early but was turned away along with approximately 100 other ticket holders (sounds like the entire audience to me) to make room for “VIP” guests. Unfortunately, we will not have any insider information as originally thought. However, maybe Corneroffice or other spoilers get leaked out. We hope so. :)
If the entire audience was turned away, do you think CBS actually hired extras to sit in as fans for the taping? I love starting a good rumor. Let’s discuss here!

doncey1 from the BBK will be at today’s “live” show taping. Hopefully, we will have some spoilery goodness in our forums here. That is, if they don’t hold the audience and crew captive until after the show airs… Stay tuned! www.bigbrotherklub.com

Everyone talks about how Big Brother has gotten progressively worse over the years with this season probably being the show’s lowest point. I have always thought bringing an evicted houseguest back is never a good idea nor is pairing anyone up to play the game in teams – whether they knew each other prior to coming into the house or not. The whole point of the show is (was, anyway) to have strangers from all walks of life play a game as individuals while also participating in a social experiment. Over the years, CBS has turned the focus away from the experiment and the individual players and turned the spotlight towards the gameplay and the negativity it can bring – when forced.
I cannot help but think back to Big Brother 6. Not only did we have the “Summer of Secrets” with each houseguest having a secret partner (how long did that “secret” last?), we had the newly remodeled house which changed the way the game was played drastically. Now, the houseguests had plenty of space away from each other to openly talk about the game, but more importantly, each other. This season also brought us the “Nerd Herd” and drew a distinct line in the sand between the participants and the alliances they formed early on. The vile, personal, non-gameplay related comments said about each other grew to a fever pitch during Season 6. Prior to Season 6, the game had to be played much differently. In secret. Dr. Will, Danielle and Jason, Jun and Allison… Remember?
Are they casting different people now? Perhaps. It seems more and more cast members have been “discovered” rather than just the regular Joe or Jane sending in a video and an application. Casting scouts found Russel in a bar this year for example. Or maybe we just didn’t know about early seasons’ cast discoveries because they were not talked about as much. Who knows? Fans have been crying foul for CBS casting people who have never seen the show before, but maybe that’s not such a bad thing after all. If a fan who loves the show is applying and has seen the strategies of the previously mentioned Dr. Will and Danielle, would that make them play the game differently? They certainly wouldn’t try to mimic their actions. Or at least I would hope not. I think what makes this confusing is that they now mix fans who have applied over and over with people who have never seen the show before and had no intention of applying. That’s not to say they weren’t already “models” or “actors” or have not applied to other reality shows to try and obtain that elusive fifteen. This is just another aspect of how the game has changed over the years.
This brings me to Big Brother’s fans and especially the Internet fan base. I have always thought it was the show that was the problem. Indeed it is partly to blame, but it is also my opinion that along with Big Brother 6, not only did the show change, I have come to realize this is when the fans also changed. It seems to me during the good old days of Big Brother, the fans would kick back on their respective forums and chat rooms and wax philosophically about the houseguests and their gameplay. We cheered on good strategic moves no matter who the houseguest. We applauded lying and scheming. We yearned for it. With Big Brother 6, once the houseguests split and it was Nerd Herd versus the ever-so-mighty Janelle, Kaysar, Howie et al, that was it. Lines were drawn. When Ivette said something horrible about one of the “good guys,” fans went nuts! We couldn’t wait for Janelle to win HOH. When she did, the Internet was atomic!
What I did not realize at the time was that Janelle and Howie (and company) were saying some pretty mean things as well. Remember Howie’s rant on April? Wow. Extremely mean, yet we applauded him and could not wait for the next blow up. Last night on the live show Casey said horrible things about Jessie and it was perceived by some as a victory.
What I’m getting at here, albeit winded, is that the fans can be just as hypocritical as the houseguests. We tend to pick a favorite or two right from the get go and latch on. The mob mentality kicks in on Internet chat rooms and forums. If something is said behind their backs, that makes the other team “evil” and we give them horrible nicknames and trash talk them until the cows come home. If our player or team says something mean about the others, we scream, holler and applaud. What looks like a poor sport or whiney speech on a live show (Chima) can look like the ultimate victory (Casey, Chelsia). This is thoroughly frustrating for fans of the folks receiving the brunt of the mob’s rage. They are not able to post anything in support of them without the Internet groupies jumping all over the poor people like flies
I’ll preface this by saying I am not a Ronnie fan and I do think he played the game way too hard and way too fast, but what atrocious and appalling things has he done really? Is it because he is a “dork” in your eyes? Is it because he lied and deceived? Isn’t that what this game entails? Would it be possible to win without lying at all? Or maybe it’s because he lied to the wrong “side” and is aligned with Jessie? That’s fine, but does he deserve the hate the Internet is spewing at him?
Jessie can be an ultimate douche sometimes, but he is playing the game well, no? Maybe calling him a “douche” was an awfully hypocritical thing to say, but I feel that yes, I can call Jessie a douche because I have spoke with him personally and he doesn’t really count since he’s been on the show before and shouldn’t be there now. See paragraph 1.
All I am saying is please take a deep breath, step back and enjoy the gameplay. It’s OK to have a favorite or two, for sure! Enjoy! Have fun! If someone’s opinion differs from yours, that’s fine. Take what they say and at least try to understand maybe why they like that houseguest or alliance. Or maybe they are just rooting for a scenario that would cause unrest in the house to break the monotony, not necessarily a cast member. Just be sure when you are bad mouthing a HG (or another fan) and rooting for another, don’t be blind to what your favorites are doing within the game also. It may just be the exact same things for which you hate someone else.
