So something has been bothering me. Something is bizarre about this entire cast reveal. Let me break it down a little bit to the only scenario that makes sense in my head.
Let us look at the strangeness of it all.
1. There is the awkward premiere times. A two hour episode followed by a one hour episode, that seems very strange, why do we need that much time on night one, even if we are breaking the house into two groups we still don’t need two hours to introduce 6-8 houseguests.
2. The whole 12 cast with four empty spots. Why? Let’s say that it is four returnees, that does’t seem likely that they will just throw random returnees in without a twist, last time they did this cast layout was coaches but the four rumored returnees don’t seem to be of coaches caliber. With Da’Vonne leaving on week two. Seems unlikely that it will be coaches but why throw in four random returnees?
3. A lot of Big Brother vets have been SUPER sketchy on social media. Libra’s twitter went private, Kathy Hillis tweeted for the first time in years then deleted her tweet. Amber hasn’t tweeted in DAYS and she is constant tweeter. It all seems fishy.
4. CBS seems to be to be trying to rebrand Big Brother. We stuck with the same logo for 15 seasons, then got a new one and are ditching it after two years of use? Why? CBS also created a lot more hubbub around this cast reveal, from releasing the cast early online to putting the cast on snapchat to postponing it (even if that was out of respect for Orlando) to adding in TWO siblings of former HG’s. It all seems like CBS wants to pay more attention to this cast preseason! It was even released a few days earlier than usual. And their were only cast interviews with Jeff and they were prerecorded.
5. There is the rumor going around that this was originally supposed to be a Newbies vs Vets season but the idea was scrapped at the last second and four more newbies were added. Okay but why not just round out the cast to 16? If you wanted to ditch the Newbies vs Vets idea why not ditch it entirely?
MY THEORY IS… They didn’t ditch this idea at all but instead worked it into an even more shocking twist. Okay so here is what I think, I think that the reason that there are only 12 of the houseguests currently because there are going to be 12 more! But this time they are all going to be Vets who deserve a second chance, which would include Da’Vonne, Nicole, Frank, and James, and could go as far as including Libra, Amber, and Kathy. But the thing is that they won’t all be staying! And THAT is why there is a two hour premiere the first night! We are going to meet all 24 houseguests and what takes up the most time on an episode of Big Brother? A competition. There will still only be 16 HG’s in the house and their will be a competition to and the first 8 newbies and the first 8 vets to win the competition will get to stay in the house for the summer! This would explain why the cast reveal was early and the interviews were prerecorded so they could get them in the house earlier to do this challenge before the game officially started with the 16 people! Then the second night they will have the competition for the first HoH (and if BotB comes back (which lets hope not) they will have a Vet HoH and a Newbie HoH but that is neither here nor there). What better way for the show to kick off a new rebranding after several lack luster seasons than to have the AUDIENCE have to expect the unexpected along with the houseguests! To me this makes the most sense because there is just a lot of fishy stuff going on and this is the only way it adds up to me.
