8th season of Big Brother premieres this summer!

CBS PICKS UP THE HIT SUMMER SERIES "BIG BROTHER" FOR ITS EIGHTH EDITION

Released by CBS

LOS ANGELES, February 1, 2007 -- CBS has picked up the reality series BIG BROTHER, hosted by Julie Chen, for an eighth installment to be broadcast this summer.

Spoiler:
Last season's BIG BROTHER: ALL-STARS started with 20 All-Star Houseguests and after 71 days and 1,704 hours, Mike "Boogie" Malin, a 35-year-old restaurateur originally from Concord, N.H., was crowned the winner of BIG BROTHER: ALL-STARS and claimed the $500,000 prize.


BIG BROTHER 8 will follow the relationships and conflicts of players who live together in a house outfitted with dozens of cameras and microphones recording their every move 24 hours a day. One by one, the Houseguests will vote each other out of the house. At the end of three months, the last remaining Houseguest will receive the grand prize of $500,000.

BIG BROTHER premiered in July 2000 and has been a key component of CBS' summer programming ever since.

BIG BROTHER 8 will be executive produced by Emmy Award winner Allison Grodner and Rich Meehan, in association with Endemol U.S.A. Academy Award and Emmy Award winner Arnold Shapiro will serve as an executive consultant on the series.

This of course was a no brainer. Because, even though they get so so ratings, I'm sure they still make good money from advertising and from the people that pay to watch it 24/7 on the Internet.

I'm going to have to record the first few weeks of episodes, because I'll be in Europe the first couple of weeks in July.

The spoiler is for last seasons winner, just in case there is someone out there that still hasn't seen the episodes on their Tivo!

I had never watched a full season of Big Brother until last summer, and that was probably the most fun I have had watching tv. I will definately tune for season 8.

A pretty good record for a show the critics wrote off the first season.
