Big Brother: After Dark
Our friends over at BuddyTV report that the rumored big changes that were set to happen during Big Brother 8 will not be the format itself (although do expect new things to happen during the show). The changes will take the shape of three hours of uncensored feed live from the house!Sadly for us BB addicts, this nightly feature will not be broadcast on CBS but on sister cable network ShoToo.
The network confirmed that Big Brother would be back three nights a week on CBS: Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays. As for Big Brother: After Dark, the name of the nightly uncensored show, it will air every night from 9 p.m. EST to midnight.
According to executive producer Allison Grodner, these three hours should be entertaining as "That's primetime for the Big Brother house. It's when our houseguests are most wide awake and having fun, talking about strategy and playing the game. People are going to see quite a bit."
Big Brother 8 will have its premiere on Thursday, July 5.
Edited on July 5 to add: It seems that the press release wasn't clear on the time when After Dark would air. Per what Julie Chen said in the premiere, After Dark will air from midnight to 3 a.m. So as commenter D Colin said below, they will tape what happens in the house from 9 to midnight and air it from midnight to 3 a.m.
