The Big Brother House Wishes Us A Happy 4th!

Direct from the Big Brother House.  Looks like they are all settled in.

The new Big Brother commercial and CBS site - any secrets revealed?

Hi all - two new things Big Brother related came about on Wednesday.  CBS modified its official page to start getting it ready for the start of Big Brother 12 and they also put out a very brief new commercial that has people speculating like crazy.

First the website.  No BIG revelation there except maybe that there are thirteen little head and shoulder cartoons (seen at the left).  So does that mean there will be thirteen HGs this season?  Maybe.  Allison Grodner said last week in an interview that there would probably be 12-14.  Then again the thirteen images may simply be a placeholder for 12 or 14 pictures to be added in a week or so.

Then there is the commercial.  What has some people chattering is the fact that we see people in it and there are several that we don't know.  Watch for yourself thanks to long time Big Brother fan quirkydude:

So what do I get from that?  Actually not much, sorry!  I did take some screen caps to attempt to get a better look at the mystery people but my guess is that they are simply models hired by the producers for the commercial (thus the blurryness).

Looking at those screen caps - I don't see anyone I recognize - and to me the pool looks bigger than the backyard pool so I even wonder if the video was shot in the house.

What do you think?  Was it all a ploy to get the die-hards chattering?  Was it simply an new ad where they decided to get some new footage rather than old shots?  Or, could these really be potential house guests playing together more than three weeks before the show begins?

22 days the the start of Big Brother 12!
