The old BB house has been replaced and there will be a new two-story house this season...

"On Thursday, July 7, CBS summer stalwart "Big Brother" returns for its sixth season with a new look -- literally.

Skein's old house on the CBS Radford lot has been demolished to make room for a new office building housing KCBS, KCAL and other Eye properties, perhaps including some CBS or Viacom exec offices.

As a result, 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.

Grodner and Shapiro are holding back details of any other changes, with Grodner saying only that "it's safe to say there are surprises and new things" in the works.

"Brother" will keep its thrice-weekly broadcast pattern, with new episodes airing Thursday and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Tuesdays at 9 p.m." - Variety.com

"In addition, the network will debut a sixth round of Big Brother, featuring a new, two-story house built in the same studio that Yes, Dear once called home. I can't be certain, but I think that's CBS' subtle way of saying Brother will suck worse than it usually does." - TV GUIDE
