Fancast: Inside TV

Attention voyeurs -- and that's most of you watching reality TV. CBS and Showtime announced the return of Big Brother: After Dark, an exclusive, live televised look inside the "Big Brother" house after the network prime-time cameras have been turned off. According to Showtime's President of Entertainment Robert Greenblatt, Big Brother: After Dark will feature a live television feed from the "Big Brother" house for three hours (12:00–3:00 AM, ET/PT), seven days a week, on the cable network's SHO2 multiplex channel beginning Tuesday, February 12th at 12:00 AM ET/PT.

CBS yesterday revealed the identities of the 16 house guests who will compete in "Big Brother," as well as the new creative twist that will play out during the first-ever winter edition, which premieres Tuesday, Feb. 12. This season marks other show firsts, including the first-ever all-single cast and the most houseguests in Big Brother's history.

When this group of 16 singles enters the house, they will be told they are being matched up with their "soul mate," a stranger who may prove to be their true love or their worst nightmare. Whether there is a love connection or not, once paired up, the house guests' life in the game depends on their partner. They must strategize, plot and scheme together as a couple for a chance at the prize. These "lovebirds" will live together as a couple meaning they will sleep in the same bed, hold Head of Household as a couple, be nominated for eviction as a pair, and if the time comes, say their goodbyes together upon eviction.
