Big Brother US 28 (2026)

[Eggs Mayonnaise]

They dropped pics of the new house a few days ago, and the cast reveal was today (well most of the cast, all new... 2 or 3 returning HGs or vets of other shows like Survivor will be announced later).

The cast reveal means that they moved into the BB house from sequester today as well. The first episode airs this Thursday night, with the BB Unlocked chat show returning on Friday, and then the usual pattern of Sunday/Wed/Thurs episodes.

24/7 Live feeds are still live feeds, accessible with a Paramount+ subscription, or view for free with ad breaks on PlutoTV. There will also be a YouTube channel that will show an hour or two of feeds after live Thursday shows or other key episodes, kind of like how they show an hour of feeds after the show in the UK.

The cast seems like a carbon copy of the last 2 seasons. One new twist is a Drag Race queen, Jason Du Puy (known as Salina EsTitties on Drag Race). Should add some spice. Of course, it looks like he's the only gay in the house so I guess they're setting him up to go...

More later, I'm at work while all this is going down lol

I still don't get why they're call a "cast" instead of "housemates."

 

[Eggs Mayonnaise]

Outsiders call them a cast (they were cast by casting people even if most of them are normal people), but inside BB they are houseguests. Not sure why they aren't housemates instead, maybe the show doesn't want them to feel too comfortable lol.

Is the Chenbot still in this thing?

 

[Eggs Mayonnaise]

Yup the Chenbot, Julie Chen, is still the host of BB to this day -- even though her husband, the former CEO of CBS Les Moonves, was ousted years ago for sexual harrassment claims.

In a show of support, she now goes by her married name, Julie Chen Moonves. And she talks about God and the Lord a lot. Makes me want to vomit, but she's also pretty engaged in the game and gets some funny lines out once in a while, so it's not all cringe.
