America's choice question was revealed on Thursday night. It's not as exciting as the last one where we were able to vote somebody back into the house. This time we get to vote on who should get a phone call. I'm leaning towards voting for either James or Janelle since they both want to talk to former players.
If you want to vote do it soon because the polls close tommorow at noon BB Time
Viewers of the Reality TV show Big Brother 6 were recently subjected to yet another surprise twist, and this one not orchestrated by CBS or its affiliates! A single viewer, a 25 year old web designer from Toronto, Canada, recently began a movement to raise funds for a certain set of contestants, known to the viewers as the "Sovereign Team" and consisting of the following players: Howie, Rachel, Jannelle, and of course Kaysar. According to the only official website, www.teamkaysar.com , fans of the show are requested to donate money for these houseguests to support their willingness to play the game with honesty and integrity even if by doing so they are evicted from the Big Brother House. The goal is lofty: It is to donate $500,000 to each Sovereign Team Member, making the ultimate goal 2 million and thereby granting these houseguests, if evicted, the same amount of money they would have otherwise won from CBS.
The first thing that crosses the minds of most rational people, even diehard fans of the show, is why donate money to losers, or even to Reality TV in general? Is this site actually legitimate with the funds dispersed appropriately? Why would viewers give to this versus another charity, especially one which appears more worthy, such as AIDS or cancer research? How did this idea come to fruition? Has this man lost his mind? Is Reality TV blurring and becoming a more "real" reality to some than their own? To find the answers to these questions, I interviewed the man who originated the movement, Jayendran Namasivayam.

Well I want Kaysar to return and I have already voted. Who do you want to come back???
The sixth installment of the CBS reality show Big Brother premiered last week, and among the 14 contestants living in a house together vying for a cash prize is Ivette Corredero, a 25-year-old openly gay Latina teacher-turned waitress with a live-in girlfriend and a plan to infiltrate the "house of [heterosexual] hotties."
Big Brother is a sort-of Real World-meets-Survivor series that was originally developed in the Netherlands in 1999, and has since been successfully adapted for prime time TV in several countries. In the U.S. version, the format is as follows: a group of people live together in a house for 12 weeks, and each week vote among two nominees to evict one of the housemates, with several mini-challenges and rewards along the way. The last person standing wins a large amount of money.
A 5' 6" Catholic woman of Dominican and Cuban descent, Ivette is the first Cuban-American contestant and the first openly lesbian contestant on Big Brother. In real life, Ivette is open about her sexual orientation, but in her pre-game interview with former Big Brother contestant Marcellas Reynolds on the show's official website, Ivette says her strategy is to lay low in the beginning of the game--which includes not coming out to the other contestants right away.
Disclosing that she's gay might make her more of a threat, she says, and "guys will spend their whole time trying to [convert me], or they might hate me and kick me off. And the girls [may] hate me because they swear I'm not really a lesbian." To which she adds with a laugh, "it's been 10 years--it's not a fake thing, and it's not a phase.

The Secret Twist for Big Brother 6 has been revealed. Click below if you would like like to know. If not you can just wait until the Show starts on Thursday July 7, 2005
Everyone has a secret. Big Brother has many this season and he ain't giving them up without a fight.
Speaking to Jam! Showbiz, producer Arnold Shapiro revealed the season-long theme this season on Big Brother will be 'The Summer of Secrets'.
"This season we have what we are calling 'The Summer of Secrets' meaning that because it is a brand new house there will be multiple secrets uncovered throughout the summer that the HouseGuests will find," Shapiro told Jam! Showbiz. "We were able to do that because we have a brand new setting."
The "setting" Shapiro is referring to is the new two-storey Big Brother house which was recently built on the CBS Studio lot in California. The old house was torn down to make way for a state of the art facility that will house CBS' two L.A. television stations. The new Big Brother house will contain 46 cameras capturing every move of the HouseGuests as opposed to last year's 42. There are also 72 microphones instead of 62.
Art director Scott Storey designed the new house from scratch. Shapiro and co-producer Alison Grodner were a crucial part of the design process working with Storey to create a house that will be unlike anything Big Brother fans have seen before. A few examples, to further instil the importance of the Head of Household position, the HOH room is now located on the second floor. There is also an area on the second floor where HouseGuests can stand or sit and have an almost an entire view of the first floor. One thinks this would be a perfect area for the devious HouseGuests to plot or scheme their way to victory
