One of the funnest parts of a new Big Brother season is always about the rumours. The release date of the new cast, who they are, what kinds of people they are, not to mention the possible twists and challenges of the season, all come around to titillate and taunt us before the season begins. As ever, Big Brother 10 is surrounded with these rumours. The release of the cast information, for example. We reported that today could have been the day for the cast release, but if you read that article close, you'll note that it warned about the eventuality that it was yet another rumour. And so it was.

Allison Grodner tells us in her interview with WLBB that the cleaners are in the house after it has been transformed. The cast is just arriving in L.A. and there will be promotional shots taken and publicity stages to go through before they enter the house. The cast will not be released until the house guests are in.

What we can look forward to, I'd suggest relatively soon, are pictures of the house and it's new (old) decor. This season is supposed to be about a time warp -- going back to the roots of Big Brother. From the sounds of it, we can expect to see some reminders of each of the 9 previous seasons in the house. It should be interesting and enough to keep us content until the cast is released sometime next week.

In the meantime, the clock is ticking down and there are only 11 more days until the fun really starts!
