New 'Big Brother' to pare down 7 pairs
CBS will roll out "Big Brother 6" next week with a new cast, a new house and a new twist. Going in, there are 14 contestants. However, the twist is this: There are seven teams of two, each believing they're the only pair in the house among a group of strangers.
Until now, "Big Brother" contestants did not know each other before moving into the house.
This time, though, they do know at least one other person, either socially or emotionally. And they're told that, if they can keep the secret and end up the last two people in the house, they'll win $1 million.
The contestants are currently sequestered and will move into the house over the weekend. CBS' first "Big Brother 6" telecast airs July 7 at 8 p.m. Julie Chen returns as host.

The secrets of Big Brother 6 By John Powell -- JAM! Showbiz
Everyone has a secret. Big Brother has many this season and he ain't giving them up without a fight.
Speaking to Jam! Showbiz, producer Arnold Shapiro revealed the season-long theme this season on Big Brother will be 'The Summer of Secrets'.
"This season we have what we are calling 'The Summer of Secrets' meaning that because it is a brand new house there will be multiple secrets uncovered throughout the summer that the HouseGuests will find," Shapiro told Jam! Showbiz. "We were able to do that because we have a brand new setting."
