Big Brother 10

Big Brother 10Big Brother 10 is the upcoming tenth season of the American reality television series Big Brother that will premiere July 13, 2008 on the CBS television network. The show will air three times a week; Sundays at 8 p.m. (ET/PT), Tuesdays at 9 p.m. (ET/PT), and Wednesdays at 8 p.m (live ET/delayed PT). Julie Chen will return as host, and Allison Grodner and Rich Meehan are the executive producers. The show is produced by Endemol USA and Allison Grodner Productions. Only one season of Big Brother was intended to air during 2008 but due to the 2007-2008 Writers Guild of America strike, CBS announced Big Brother 9 for the regular television season and Big Brother 10 for the summer of 2008.
Big Brother 3Casting for Big Brother 10 began on February 25, 2008. Applications were due on April 25, 2008 and video tape submissions were due on April 4, 2008. During May 2008 interviews for the 40 semi-finalists were held with the finalists being chosen on May 21, 2008. Casting calls were held in various cities across the country including Los Angeles, CA, Charleston, SC, Louisville, KY, Minneapolis, MN, Pittsburgh, PA and Phoenix, AZ.Big Brother 8 winner Dick Donato announced on House Calls that Big Brother 10 will feature a wider range of HouseGuests. E4 will not air Big Brother 10 as they did with Big Brother 9 due to conflicts with the ninth edition of the British version.
During an advertisement that aired on CBS it was revealed that 13 HouseGuests would be entering the House. This is the first time since Big Brother 4 that 13 HouseGuests will live in the House and the first time that there has been a decrease of HouseGuests over a previous season. A live audience will also be present during the live eviction episodes on Wednesdays. This is the first time since Big Brother 1 that an audience has been present for the live weekly eviction shows.
On April 14, 2008 CBS announced Big Brother 10 would return on July 13, 2008, with episodes airing on Sundays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. During the season finale of Big Brother: After Dark on April 27, 2008 it was confirmed that the companion show would return for Big Brother 10.
