New House
"Big Brother 6" returns to CBS' schedule July 7 at 8 p.m. and, as in the past, will have 16 people living in a specially designed house that lets viewers see what goes on 2-4/7."
CBS has built a new two-story "Big Brother" house on the site of the old "Yes, Dear" studio space. Exec producers Arnold Shapiro and Allison Grodner said the new digs will open up a slew of production possibilities.
"We've had a chance to improve on the whole layout," Shapiro said, calling the new house "a whole new beginning."
Grodner said having two stories means "our cameras will be able to get real aerial shots. It will definitely look and feel different, maybe a little more like a loft space."
New house will still have a backyard, including a pool nearly twice as big as the old house's wading hole.
