A former executive producer on Big Brother‘s 10th and 11th seasons has sued his former agency and agent for more than $10 million in damages, claiming in part that he was offered a contract that would possibly lead to him becoming the CBS reality show’s showrunner, but he turned that down because of bad advice… continue reading
Big Brother 11
Jessie Godderz will return to Big Brother, according to the most self-aggrandizing press release ever
Big Brother cast member Jessie Godderz issued a press release today to announce that he’s been offered a development contract with TNA wrestling. At least, I imagine it was him or someone connected to him, because it is the most unbelievable press release (if we can call it that) you will ever see. Wrestleview published… continue reading
I Love New York’s Heat on Foursome with BB’s Michele, who “give[s] the best head ever”
Playboy TV has posted a new trailer for Foursome featuring Big Brother 11‘s Michele Noonan. Her name may be spelled wrong, but that’s her, saying, “I give the best head ever.” (More on her appearance here.) The trailer shows that her episode also includes Heat, aka Jason Rosell, a cast member on I Love New… continue reading
Big Brother 11’s Michele is on Playboy’s sex-on-TV reality show Foursome
Michele Noonan, the bisexual neuroscientist who came in fourth place on Big Brother 11 last summer, will be on Playboy TV’s Foursome this fall, presumably having sex on camera with fellow cast members. She follows in the footsteps of her fellow season 11 houseguest Braden Bacha, who appeared on the show prior to his time… continue reading
Julie Chen, Bethenny Frankel shooting a pilot for CBS’ The View for moms
Two reality stars from very different shows, Big Brother host Julie Chen and departing Real Housewives cast member Bethenny Frankel, will team up as panelists on the pilot episode of a new CBS daytime talk show that’s like The View for mothers. “It’s a daytime panel show to take on ‘The View,’ targeted at women… continue reading
Jordan and Jeff from Big Brother 11 are on Amazing Race 16, which is now taping
The Amazing Race 16 is now in production, and Big Brother 11 winner Jordan Lloyd and her quasi-showmance Jeff Schroeder are among the contestants. They were photographed at LAX Saturday afternoon, and because one team used someone’s laptop to research locations in Santiago, Chile. That’s their presumable first destination, as every season since 12 has… continue reading
Julie Chen gives birth to Charlie Moonves
Ten days after hosting Big Brother 11‘s finale in a very pregnant state, Julie Chen gave birth this morning to Charlie Moonves, the son of CBS president Les Moonves. CBS just announced that he “was born in Los Angeles at 9:40 am” and “[m]other and child are doing well.” Announcing her pregnancy in April, Julie… continue reading
BB11 had more viewers than last year, same among 18-49; Julie Chen interviews Natalie
Big Brother 11 ended its season with higher ratings than the 10th season drew last summer, but was still below the previous summer season. Tuesday’s drawn-out finale had a few more viewers than last summer’s, as it was watched by 7.9 million people, up slightly from the 7.58 million who watched last year. Overall, the… continue reading
Jordan wins Big Brother 11 but Natalie still gets $50,000 despite being horrible
Jordan Lloyd won Big Brother 11 after receiving five of the seven votes, including the (irrelevant) one cast by viewers, who voted more than 11 million votes. Natalie Martinez received Russell and Kevin’s votes, but since Jordan was up against Natalie and the jury had turned toxic toward the teenager, Jordan’s win wasn’t a surprise…. continue reading
Jordan and Kevin will compete for final HOH, and viewers will get a jury vote
The three remaining Big Brother 11 houseguests are indeed staying locked inside until Tuesday’s finale, and viewers will be able to cast a collective vote to break a possible jury tie. Why keep all three in the house? I think it’s because watching two people mope around the house for a week is pretty dreadful,… continue reading
Final three will stay in Big Brother house until Tuesday’s live finale
Natalie, Kevin, and Jordan may all stay in the Big Brother house until next Tuesday’s live finale, according to a report. That means the final HOH will announce their decision live, and whoever gets voted out won’t spend time in the jury house before joining the jury. That’s according to a report in The Wrap,… continue reading
Big Brother renewed for 12th season after adding viewers, but why growth this season?
CBS announced this afternoon that it has renewed Big Brother for a 12th season, which will air next summer. Absent from the announcement is mention of executive producers Allison Grodner and Rich Meehan, who recently formed a new company, but I can’t imagine they won’t return. The press release says that the show has become… continue reading
Natalie, Kevin, and Jordan are Big Brother 11’s mostly awful final three
Well, that was uneventful: Kevin won the power of veto, saved himself, and Jordan was nominated. Apparently fearing that Michele would beat him instead of just being a good final-two partner (“I’ve burned so many of the jury members that I don’t stand a chance,” she argued), Kevin voted her out, keeping Jordan. And of… continue reading
Natalie’s pointless lies make her even more annoying and more reviled
Natalie’s reign as HOH ends tonight on a special Tuesday live eviction, but the sad part is she’ll still be in the house afterwards, and could potentially even win Big Brother 11. Although she’s exhibited none of the truly horrible behavior that we’ve seen before, she’s somehow become more reviled than people who actually deserve… continue reading
Jeff gets got got, goes, while Pandora’s box will return to maybe sort of do something
After making the biggest move in the Big Brother 11 house a few weeks ago and then turning on his own alliance, Jeff was backstabbed by his new backstabbing alliance, and exited the house. That makes way for the home stretch of Big Brother 11: Next week we have an eviction on Tuesday, and then… continue reading
