Slop Returns & Grodner Promises A Fully Interactive Big Brother |
In an exclusive interview with TV Guide , Allison Grodner discusses some of the new features of the Big Brother 8 show and also comments on some of the previous rumors.
Slop or PB&J or Something New?: Slop or a slop like substance is here to stay. "After the success of slop last year, we've decided we're doing it
again. PB&J was like lobster compared to slop. They were living
life easy."
Will All-Stars return to be part of the show?: No More All-Star appearances. "We did All-Stars last year, and that was the best of the best and we
still love them. They did a great job. But we're starting with a clean
slate," says Grodner.
Will the Structure of the Show be different?: Allison confirms that the structure will remain the same simply because it works. There will still be an HOH that picks two players and the Power of Veto competitions will still happen - at least at the START of the show. Allison discusses the game further, "We can certainly amp things up and the competition is always
changing, there are new twists and turns, and come mid-season, there
may be another curveball.... But all of that just adds to the soap
opera and the competitive game elements."
What interactivity can we expect? Allison teases us in the interview with cliche lines like "its like nothing you have ever seen before!". "It will be revealed at the end of the first episode, and you can hop
on [the Internet] and get involved. I promise you, you've never heard
of an interactive opportunity like this on a television show, because
we're the only show — in the way that we are structured, being almost
live — that can pull this off."
