Big Brother 11 Roundup – Spoilers, Rumors and Up To Date Facts

We here at YakkityYaks thought it would be a good idea, with all the different tidbits floating around, to do a roundup of what we know, don’t know and are guessing so far about the upcoming season of Big Brother 11. With just about 16 days to go until the premiere it sure is getting exciting!

Here’s what we know so far that can be said as fact:

• Thanks to our own member Sassygal’s inquiry (she’s the one responsible for first breaking this one on the web! Way to go Sassy!) to Showtime, Big Brother After Dark WILL be returning to the airwaves this summer.
• Housecalls with Gretchen will NOT be returning this summer, due to lack of sponsorship.
• Big Brother 11 will premiere on July 9th, with the first eviction to be on July 16th.
• Julie Chen WILL be hosting all season, unless her in utero bambino decides to make an early appearance.

Here’s what we do NOT know for SURE:

• The exact number of houseguests (although there’s a lot of guessing and surmising going around, obviously nothing’s confirmed yet until the CBS website updates it)
• The “twist” (for more though see our other articles with guesses on it, and read below)

Here’s the speculations currently circulating around the web:

• The house theme this year is eco-friendly.
• One possible twist is that there’s no set prize money and the houseguests have to earn it somehow.
• Another possible twist clue centers around high school type cliques (although personally, I swear to god if the cast of High School Musical, Gossip Girl, One Tree Hill, Hannah Montana or ANY of the Jonas Brothers show up I’m running away.)
• Houseguests will actually be going into the house on July 5th (hope they at least get to see some sort of fireworks in sequester!)
