Yep. And it looks like they aren’t even interviewing until May and June, so we’ll probably have to wait until July or so for the next one–which’ll make it a full year since BB3!

I thought Big Brother has always been a summer show. Survivor in fall/winter and winter/spring, and Big Brother in summer.

Yes, _Big Brother_ is a summer show. We’ve got plenty of other shows to keep us occupied 'til then. 🙂

Yeah, summer. You wouldn’t want to watch them outside in 4 feet of snow in their bathing suits now would ya?

I bet there are Big Brother websites for it already, probably Big Brother websites for Big Brother 22. 🙂

Does L.A. _ever_ get 4 feet of snow? Hell, does L.A. ever get an inch of snow?

Admittedly, it’s probably not 80 degrees and sunny in January in L.A. (I’ve been in San Diego in February, and it was fairly chilly (50-60 degrees)), but 4 feet of snow seems like an exaggeration…
