'Big Brother': Season 12's devious new sabotage twist

julie-chen-big-brother.jpgThe "Big Brother" producers have a new twist up their sleeves for the upcoming Season 12 of the reality show... but most of the houseguests won't be in on the secret. For the first time ever, one houseguest will be playing an entirely different game.

That special individual, the Sabateur, is going to do what we the viewers tell him or her to do to disrupt the lives of the other contestants. We'll know which contestant is the fiend, but the rest of the houseguests. The longer the Sabateur can remain anonymous, the more cash he or she will get.

"We've inserted a game piece into the show this season that will make life for the Houseguests harder than ever before," says executive producer Allison Grodner.  "This is a twist that will wreak havoc on the house and the audience will be a part of it."

We'll find out who the Sabateur is during the first live show on July 15, and after that, viewers will be able to submit strategy suggestions via CBS.com.

how is this new...americas player ERIC

are the players sequestered already since this info is being released

Agree with Linda. This is no different than America's Player. If they're trying to up the ante, they need to do more than rebrand an old trick...

This seems similar to bbuk11 (current season) with their mole twist.

@Linda, the houseguests are sequestered yes and they enter the house a week before the first show airs. Since Eric BB8 was the first America's Player than Dan BB10 this saboteur for BB12 most likely will be a she

Is the misspelling of Saboteur supposed to indicate something? Or just more of our rampant illiteracy?

If this textbook rip-off from "The Mole" becomes a national sensation, it will make me even more enraged that they cancelled the smartest reality show ever (that being "The Mole" because it sure wouldn't be "Big Brother").

it's probably "Saboteur" not "Sabateur"
Saboteur means a bungler

:)

I miss "The Mole".

so this is what you get when you cross "the mole" and big brother"..wait didn't they do that with survivor:samoa and Russell?
