Season 10 (2008)

Big Brother 10 is the upcoming tenth season of the American reality television series Big Brother[1] that will premiere July 13, 2008 on the CBS television network.[2] 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.[2]

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[3] and Big Brother 10 for the summer of 2008.[1]

[edit] Pre-season

Casting for Big Brother 10 began on February 25, 2008.[4] Applications were due on April 25, 2008 and video tape submissions were due on April 4, 2008.[5][6] Around May or June 2008 interviews for 40 semi-finalists will begin.[5][6] 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.[7] 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.[8]

[edit] Broadcasts

On April 14, 2008 CBS announced Big Brother 10 would return on July 13, 2008, with episodes airing on Sundays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays.[2] 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.[9]
