Big Blog Brother 2007 – The Summer Blogosphere Contest of 2007
I am a pretty huge Big Brother fan. I have been watching the CBS televised reality show since 2004 and I have been addicted ever since. CBS will be airing their 8th season of Big Brother starting July 5th. And to give us bloggers something to do while the show airs, I have created the Big Blog Brother 2007 Contest. Now, even though this content is running around the same time as the CBS reality TV show, Big Brother, please make no assumptions, because this contest is totally difference and unrelated. Again, this is of course Big Blog Brother! It is a virtual contest to see who will be crowned as the Blogosphere’s official Big Brother!
What Is The Big Blog Brother 2007 Contest?
The Big Blog Brother 2007 is a contest where bloggers all over the world can participate in a huge global contest to achieve the ultimate status of being the Big Blog Brother of 2007! Participants in the contest will need to be prepared to fulfill challenges to stay in the game. Challenges will consist of small writing projects, the most comments competitions, the most Digg competitions, etc… If you are a blogger, if you are competitive, if you want popularity, if you want traffic, if you want money, if you want to be #1, then you will want to play Big Blog Brother 2007. But be prepared to bring your A game! Because in order to be crowned as the Blogosphere’s Big Blog Brother of 2007, you are going to have to work hard. The competition is going to be fierce and the challenges are going to be tough!

You are a Big Brother fan? Me too!
Besides live sporting events, the only shows I really watch are The Office, Last Comic Standing, and Big Brother. I think I started watching in Season 3.
Anyway, great idea! I’m looking forward to this season.
I must admit I quit watching those reality tv shows after the first two survivors. My question is will you be making us eat worms?
Ill be making a blog later today If I start a new one will this put me at a disadvantage. Also are you listing the competeing blogs on your site? Good luck to you all. Have fun may the better blog win
.
Really cool contest. You should contact me about these ideas before you write about them, that way I can steal them for myself
Oh no, I am turning evil…
Just kidding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have to think about this… I might not have enough time given the fact I will be watching Big Brother.
I haven’t watched Big Brother. So, for the clueless like me any ideas what this contest might entail? I would sure love to participate as long as I don’t have to star in those videos I’ll be shooting.
Or I guess I could google for Big Brother.
You do need to have a blog… but for the contest, just snag a free Wordpress or Blogger.com blog will be fine…
Are you in?
Are you in? Drop me a quick reply and let me know! It will be tons of fun and don’t worry.. it won’t require a lot of time. This huge contest is designed for people who have lives outside from the blogosphere!
Thanks for mentioned the contest.
Are you in? Drop me a reply back and let me know… and be prepared to have tons of fun!
I love all those mentioned as well as Survivor.
Are you in? This should be right up your alley. I am not letting too much out of the bag just yet. I can tell you this… it won’t require a lot of time for participating. I promise you. I want tons of people to play… and I know that everyone doesn’t have a ton of free time. So this game is designed with that in mind. Two hours MAX per week… if that.
Drop me a reply to let me know if you are in.
Yes….
I am not telling…
Ok, all kidding aside… no you will not have to eat worm.
I am not telling you much, but here is a clue about the game.
* The game is based on blogging and many elements about blogging. Performance in the contest will be reflected on the level of what I call “born to be blogging” mentality. If you are a blogger who loves to blog, and blog about anything and everything, and you will love the game.
In fact… I am going to pull a Simon Cowell card and publicly announce that I predict that you will win!
So, you better play…
That will be great. You do need a blog to play. But more less the blog is needed just so that you have a home in the blogosphere… this contest is not about who has the most popular blog, the most traffic, the most money, etc… this competition to see who will be crowned the Blogosphere’s Big Brother (or Big Sister) of 2007.
I don’t care if you just started blogging yesterday or 3 years ago… this is an equal opportunity competition!
Are you in? Drop me a reply back and let me know. Again, just create a blogger.com or Wordpress.com blog…. Your blog is not what is important… you are what is important.
Evil… are you John Chow??? lol
I would love to have you play… The game AT MOST will take about 2 hours per week to play… IF THAT!!! This competition is designed for busy people who have little to zero free time… but want to have fun.
I would love to have you join. Reply back and let me know.
Oh you’ll have time…
Not to worry about that…
This contest needs you! Reply back and let me know… it requires at most two hours per week…. IF THAT!
Dude, you will like it! And I have Kyle on the fence too….
The both of you need to join. It will be fun. And yes, ideally I am going to be collecting 30 second YouTube videos from all the contestants. It is preferred. I might settle for a picture, but having the 30 second YouTube videos would be better.
ATTENTION EVERYONE:
My second clue:
Research the CBS show SURVIVOR as well as BIG BROTHER
Mix these two together and then consider what blogging is all about…
and then throw in $250 dollars cash…
Oh… and one last thing, this game is also going to be played on a secret dot Com site that I am developing… Everyone that plays will be famous!
I am familiar with Survivor just not Big Brother.
Anyways, how can a person (me) with the 3rd most popular outgoing link not support you? I am not sure what I am getting into.. but you had me on this! Count me in, dude!

Garry, thanks for the link at the top. Can you change it to spell ShanKri-la though?
I am certainly interested in participating, but the fact that I dont have a Digicam rules me out I guess.. So much for the other requirements..
Man, borrow a friends… or get a cheap one at the store… you need to have one of these anyway, regardless if you want if you want to play or not… they are good to have!
