Well I guess this also sheds a little more light as to why they're now doing a big segment on past BB showmances.

I wonder if this has anything to do with those rumours about players picking their veto partners again (and being forced to use them).

Shit. I go to lunch all excited about seeing pics of the house, then return to THIS news?? What the fuck about "strangers living together" is so
damn difficult for the producers to understand???
Oh, well. Wait and see, I guess. |

A lame ass twist probably means a weak cast of hamsters. I'm no longer excited about BB9. |

Last season had more strangers than 6-7, and people seemed to hate that one more around here for some reason.
It could still be the show assigning them a soul mate, or assigning them to someone they would clash with and just calling it a soul mate

I know what you mean. With every other twist this show has thrown at us over the years, I've still been able to get myself excited for the new season. I was still able to get myself all psyched out for BB8 even after they announced that "enemies" crap. But this "Soul Mate" BS has officially made me lukewarm towards this whole season. Eh, hopefully I'm proven wrong and this actually turns out to be decent. |

For the love of big brother god and anything in reality TV that is holy, please don't let these "soul mates" know each other. I can't deal
with 8 Dick and Danielle's competing together.

The reason they're doing this is directly related to the "success" of Dick/Dani last summer.

I bet'ya at least a few of them will know each other. Ever since Julie made that comment on Letterman about how the US Big Brother edition is so good
because of the people knowing each other (or however she worded it), I've officially given up hope on ever having another cast that are all strangers.

personality, and Dani got involved with a showmance that was popular. Between these factors, and the America's Player twist pushing the two along, it gave
it a fairy tail ending that made the two exceptional.

Well we don't know for certain if they know eachother. Even if there are few that don't it could make for an interesting season. Think about having to
work with someone you end up not liking because your life in the house depends on it.

One thing I would have liked to have seen is this
16 People that don't know each other BB secretly pairs them The HG's are told they have been given a secret pair, but they don't know who that person is If they make it to the final 2 with them, double the money When you win HOH you get clues as to who your "partner" is. Could be someone that has already been voted out, your best friend, your show mance, or an enemy. |

I love how every single year everyone bitches about the INTEGRITY of the show being compromised. Big Brother is Jerry Springer-lite with an organized, often
manipulated, game surrounding it. It's about as low brow as you can get.
And for those who don't think it's always been that way... 
ETA: that'd be a good twist, maxxfisher, especially if the audience knew who the pairs were and could laugh at the people who hated their partner. The commercial said they would be doing EVERYTHING together though, so they probably know

I want STRANGERS! I think they will all be strangers, just because the commercial said "we've" paired them up with soulmates. |

My understanding is that the producers have matched the houseguests with a soulmate they don't know. The commercial says "...and WE'VE matched
each of them with a soul mate". The "We" part would indicate that it's the producer's doing and that they don't know eachtother,
also I believe Miss Grodner said that they weren't going to have previous relationships again(though she has lied before...).
I think it will be kind of fun to watch, though I can already sense the storylines forming("I'm so in love with my partner! What good luck!", "I hate my partner! What bad luck!"), but I would expect that there would be some divorice twist that would happen mid-season that could seperate some pairs. I'm not sure what happens if the whole team can't decide on which person to vote... I would imagine there would be some butting heads if both teammates both join seperate alliances. Maybe they get their own independent vote? I'm kind of looking forward to it.... |
