has the new cast list (with pictures) of the guests that will inhabit the Big Brother house during the show's upcoming eighth season. As you can see from the pictures, this time around there's an added emphasis on young, good looking people. The oldest person is 44, and the majority of the cast is 25 or younger. This should nicely accommodate the previously reported on spin-off Big Brother: After Dark.
 
This season will also be more interactive.
 
The biggest twist is a game element called "America's Player." In a nutshell, that contestant will have the chance to win extra sums of money-- but only if they carry out certain actions mandated by viewers via internet or text message voting. Chosen player might be asked to vote somebody out of the house or something more personal, such as flirting with another player.
 
I see, so they're expecting people to watch Big Brother this time. Clever. Less clever is that the season will be "Alice in Wonderland-themed." Variety mentions big beds and tiny chairs, but let's face it, they just did it for the big beds.
