Allison Grodner Interview on the Twists and the Season

Allison Grodner recently did an interview with WeLoveBigBrother.com (WLBB.com) where she talks about the new (and potential "past") houseguests, the overall design of the house and the twists for this summer's "explosive" season of Big Brother. I would like to thank WLBB.com for providing such a great interview!

Here are some of the main points of discussion:

-- Allison on the Cast: “…It’s an interesting mix, we’re really happy with them… A couple that stand out or come to mind right now: Adam Poch… Shelly Moore… Keith Henderson…”

-- Allison on the Twist: “Double Trouble as it’s being dubbed and will feature dynamic duos from the past who have played big brother… these are notorious twosomes… power couples potentially… pairs that have been aligned that really stood out in the big brother game…”

-- Allison “will not deny or confirm how many duos there are…”

-- Allison, more on the Twists: confirms there are two twists (aka two really big announcements, one of course is the former houseguests coming back and the other being a twist to how the game is played) going on that are part of this same theme that “has the game being played quite differently right off the bat.”

-- Allison, more on the Duos: Won’t reveal how the duos will be introduced but will say that it’s “bound to be a really exciting hour in that there’s going to be one surprise right after another.”

-- Allison on the CBS “Vote”: Basically the CBS.com “vote” is just to get people going, talking, and excited about the premiere night and the twists. It has nothing to do with who is actually coming back. It’s a “sample” of possible duos returning. We could see other duos as well. Allison then throws out other possible duos such as “Dan and Memphis; Danielle and Jason; Marcellas and Amy…”

-- Allison on Possible Viewer Involvement: “We always find ways for the viewers to impact the game in some way…” (however, it appears this will not occur until later in the game).

-- Allison on Have-Have Not Room: While there are no images or video of the Have-Have Not room, Allison confirms there will indeed be one this season. She states it will be “revealed during the first week of shows.”

-- Allison on the Staircase Design: The “cage” around the stairs leading up to the HoH room is nothing but a design (decorating) idea. It serves no purpose.

-- Allison on the Bikes: The bikes seen throughout the house (strictly another design idea that appeals to the “summer boardwalk” theme) will “be firmly locked” to the houseguests.

-- Allison on the HoH Room: As previously noted in the BB house pictures below, there were two potential HoH room pics that surfaced. Allison states it was just a “design change” because they “were not happy” with the initial HoH room design.

-- Allison final thoughts: She strongly believes this will be an “explosive summer” due to the “huge personalities” of both the casted 8 houseguests and the returning duos. “…I remember thinking I hope our house can actually contain all of them, it’s THAT feeling; …you know it’s rare that I think that on opening night but I really do think with that, with all of the twists and turns, with the many reveals, it will be one surprise after another on opening night, I can tell you that much.”
