Besides the usual lies and strategies, secrets are part of the new season of "Big Brother." Don't worry: You'll still be in the know.

Every Friday, The Early Show brings you a scene from the "Big Brother" house that you won't be able to see in primetime. And, of course, the evicted houseguest will share theories about what caused his or her ouster.

Sarah Hrejsa, one of the "Big Brother" lovebirds has flown the coop. She was in the house with her boyfriend James, an alliance that led to her downfall. She not only said goodbye to the game, but she also left her true love behind.

Visit CBSNews.com at noon ET to check out Hrejsa's interview and some secret scenes no seen in primetime.

While loyalty is a big part of this game, "Big Brother" host and co-anchor Julie Chen is told these relationships won't last a New York minute.

With a record 47 cameras and 76 microphones, the backstabbing and back scratching will not go unnoticed. Click on the links in red below for more secrets and strategies uncovered:
