Big Brother 15: Fan Interaction, PhotoBooths and Live Feeds, Oh My!

Happy Wednesday, BB Lovers! Big Brother 15 premieres 3 weeks from tonight, and the information about the season is beginning to pour in! Fan Interaction with the HGs!? A photo booth!  Hostie Jeff Schroeder...

Yesterday we learned that the Early Bird Special for the Big Brother Live Feeds is REALLY special this season!

• It's only $23.99!! For the whole season!! Pure Awesomesauce!!
• No more guessing about when to sign up to make sure you're able to see everything.
• The Season Pass lets you in the door with exclusive content 2 weeks before season begins, and continues a month after the finale!
• Here's that link. :-) 

As far as features go, it looks amazing.  I'm good and truly impressed.  Someone's been listening, and they heard us all loud and clear.  Fans will have access to the features they know and love: 

• subscriber-only web chat, 
• four different live feeds, multiple camera angles, quad-camera view, and live stream playback .

And great new stuff! 

• New features like live feed highlights, 
• Offering bookmarks of key moments in the house; 
• The ability to rewind within live playback.  Can you hear the angels sing? :-)
• Houseguest status updates.

“We’re building on BIG BROTHER’s major strides in interactivity – including primetime reality TV’s first live Twitter vote – by bringing the show’s die-hard fans even more opportunities to impact components of the show and interact with this season’s Houseguests,” said Rob Gelick, the Senior Vice President and General Manager of Digital Platforms for CBS Interactive Entertainment. 

*** I'm quoting here - "interact with the.. houseguests." Interact implies 2 way communication. That's HUGE.  I wonder how it'll play out. Thoughts?

Here's what else we've learned... Jeff Schroeder is gonna be the new Marcellus, Chelsia, Missy, Ross, etc. Granted, he'll probably be wearing a shirt, but why not enjoy his triceps for just a moment?

Jeff will be hosting a weekly live chat show on Fridays this season.  He'll be interviewing HGs and "series experts" as well.  Since the Live Show has moved to Wednesday, Thursday should be Food/HHN Comp and Noms day on the feeds, and the HGs will likely play for the Power of Veto on Friday.

Wouldn't it be lovely if production would coordinate the start of the PoV Comp to coincide with Jeff's show? Hint, hint, nudge, nudge, please!

One more thing:  New this season, according to the press release, "the Big Brother 15 house will feature a photo booth where House Guests will take exclusive photos to share with fans."  I wonder if it's an actual physical photo booth, and if it'll be in the same room where the ball machine and the fortune teller were.  I hope so.  The possibilities for photo booth freak outs, melt downs, make outs and, "oh my.. you do know there are cameras here, right" are limitless... and I'm already imagining the Photo Booth will start talking to some unsuspecting HG.  Boo! :-)

So much to get excited about!  The mind boggles!  3 more weeks til BB15! We can't wait to share another season with you!
