Any running reality show has to give a little something extra to the viewers each season—the “twist,” as it were. Big Brother producers are assuring viewers that the eighth season will offer “something die-hard fans will love,” according to exec producer Alison Grodner. Apparently, there is going to be a play-at-home feature of the show that will give viewers “the opportunity to participate even more than they have in the past.” There are no details yet about what the interactive element of the show will be, but viewers won’t have to wait long to find out. Big Brother 8 begins on July 5th at 8:00 and will air three times each week—which, if you ask me, is wayyy too much. Of course, if that isn’t enough for crazed fans, don’t forget there will also be Big Brother: After Dark, that airs the goings-on in the house from 12 a.m. to 3 a.m. on Showtime Too. And, as always, there is the 24/7 live Internet coverage. But wait, there’s more! Viewers will be able to have some impact on the house via text messaging. Anyone else exhausted?
