The wall might say "departure' but for one lucky house guest they won't depart for 99 days!
Yes- 99 Days!
Good thing there's a phone in the house this season .... kinda... ; )

Grodner - Here we have a phone booth and you open it up and it goes to the next room. It's a working phone. The Head of Household will be able to call down. That's a first and it's a first to have this kind of door way.
There's a new pool...

And, they gave the old - no one wanted to sit in the sky bridge - a new more cozy look for this season ....

And, although we didn't get a look, here's what Grodner and Meehan had to say about the new Have Not Room.
Grodner - We have the craziest Have Not room you've ever seen.
Meehan - You're not going to want to be a Have Not. It's going to be pretty miserable.
And, for those of you who hated the Battle of the Block... here's what they had to say about that....
Is "Battle of the Block" coming back?
Grodner: No.
Meehan: No battle of the block!
Grodner: A new, Sunday competition is coming into play that will ----
Meehan: Twist up the game! It's going to be fun, something we've never done before.
Grodner: Who knows though maybe sometime in the future it will come back.
Meehan: We need to keep the stakes high in the Sunday show because we didn't want to go back to Have Not competitions.
Grodner: You want competitions that have stakes, that really mean something. This new competition really does that. So the nominations falls somewhere in the middle and then this competition and then, you'll see.
Meehan: A new ceremony at the end.
Grodner: A new ceremony!
