Did Woman With Bullhorn Sabotage CBS' Big Brother Ploy?


Plans by the producers of CBS's Big Brother to offer $10,000 to one of the remaining six contestants to leave the house so that a more colorful alternate may be brought aboard may have been wrecked by a woman who turned up on the street outside the home with a bullhorn Monday, announcing what the producers had in mind, the New York Daily News. The offer was to have been made in tonight's (Wednesday) episode. According to ousted Big Brother contestant Brittany Petros, however, the remaining contestants have "bonded" and will probably not take the cash. (CBS reportedly was considering upping the ante.)
