Holy log cabin lovin’! For the first time ever in Big Brother history (phrase trademarked by Julie Chen) Big Brother is bringing the gossip, backstabbing and hookups to the first quarter. Oh yes, it’s Winter in the Big Brother House. This season’s big twist is hook-up-tastic! CBS, the grand daddy of old school networks has finally figured out that sex sells (like a lot) and rather than setting the scene for just one or two hook ups, they’ve laid the ground work for multiples! Pun totally intended. The contestants most of whom are single have been set up with another contestant who CBS deems their “soul mate”. These new couples will compete as one and this season’s evictions will come in pairs. Why wait a few weeks for the implants to start flopping and the margaritas to kick in when you can put people in bed together from day one! It’s a recipe for porn mayhem!

Two twists have been planted in the house in the form of a current real life couple who have been paired with others and have managed to keep their relationship a secret and a not so secret pair of exes who were miserably paired with one another.

Here’s Julie Chen talking to David Lettermen about the upcoming love fest that is Big Brother 9. Hey, lay off the Dutch!

The log cabin love shack in all its sleepaway camp glory.

Your eyes do not deceive you, those are row boat beds.

Two words: Log. Furniture. It’s a set designer’s dream, isn’t it? Ew.

At first we were excited when we saw the library but upon closer inspection you can see that the books are FAKE. I guess real books would break the no exposure to outside media rule? We want to see a smart version of Big Brother, like Big Brother where all of the contestants are former Jeopardy champions. Big Brain Brother!!!!!

And just like last season you can watch the after hours under blanket rustling on Showtime’s Big Brother After Dark.
