Big Brother USA Season 19 to air at the end of the year?

[DrunkerThanMoses]

http://www.realityblurred.com/realitytv/2016/07/big-brother-19-fall/

Would they do a season so early after finishing 18?

I bet they want to do season 19 so they can do All Stars 2 next year seeing as it is the 20th season

[Samm]

cahh even more over killed then BBUK, 99 days of BB18 then another 99 days of BB19?

[VanessaFeltz.]

"show is casting now and will air mid-September"

fake

[Jack_]

I'd be here for it but if they claim it's starting in September straight after this season and with Survivor starting too it's BS. No way is that happening

It'd air in the winter like BB9 again surely

[MB.]

No chance

(...I hope?)

[Ross.]

Not BB19 to launch on the same night as the finale of BB18

[Firewire]

I don't know how reliable this is since CBS has a full schedule and they wouldn't bother airing it on POP. It could maybe be a CBS All Access season but I'd hate that.

[Raph]

Slay :clap1: Could teach BBUK a thing or two wasting precious civilian time on pathetic celebrity seasons!

[reece(:]

BB9 teas

[LukeB]

I've seen some casting links and stuff, I love this show but September is way too soon.

[EspeonBB]

Would it be 99 days as well?

Two 99 day seasons back to back sounds like too much

[JerseyWins]

I doubt it but I wouldn't mind it.

[Raph]

I've seen some casting links and stuff, I love this show but September is way too soon.

Where did you see this, Luke?

[Moosething]

Here 4 it

[LukeB]

Here 4 it

Well I'm kind of am but not straight after BB18 :p

[LukeB]

I actually wanted them to do two BBs a year or something but not every year :p I rather them do in it January.

[LukeB]

Just to be think BB20 will be next year! quite a bizarre number. I think they are trying to be survivor I mean they copied their redemption island.

[LukeB]

Maybe they will put Frank on the next one to make sure he wins :think:

[Moosething]

wat

[LukeB]

Mess (i dont watch it on cbs but still)

[Moosething]

People are saying Jeff will probably host.
Smh don't even bother without Julie

[LukeB]

It's been confirmed that BB19 will be this year apparently

http://bigbrothernetwork.com/big-brother-19-confirmed-for-fall-2016-online/

[LukeB]

it will only be online and it will last for 10 weeks

[MB.]

lol

[Ross.]

Oh

[EspeonBB]

This sounds like a mess

[reece(:]

A Glass House type mess tea.

[reece(:]

Watch it be better than any BB since 13 though

[LukeB]

Theres no bbusa without julie.. If she isnt doing it, i bet they get jeff to do it

[Wizard.]

I will probably watch it when it finishes and if it's all online like Project Free TV. I don't have the brain capacity for more Big Brother

[Calderyon]

Don´t know what to make of this tbh.

[Wizard.]

Apperantly Kass isn't casting BB19? I hope this is true because her casts are awful on BBUSA, but her BBCaN casts are on point. It'll be good to see if it's better or worse

[DrunkerThanMoses]

Well if true anything can be better then the crap they are airing now. I bet it will end up being one of the best in years as well lol

[Firewire]

Arisa is coming!

[Jack_]

welp I can't believe this is happening and I don't understand the logic either?

Imagine if they just made this a pure season with no twists though :flutter:

[Firewire]

I'm assuming they're trying to make more money out of CBS All Access before Star Trek launches considering BB is one of the biggest shows

It's odd though

[Headie]

Mess @ it all

They obviously want All Stars next year for BB20. Lol if Day and James are on 3 years in a row <3

[Lostie!]

*is interested since I haven't been watching BB18 anyway*

i bet they get jeff to do it

Take that back.

[Natalie.]

Hope we can watch online without VPN

[Firewire]

I'm assuming they'll no longer have live eviction?

[Macie Lightfoot]

This sounds like a disaster in the making and I don't want it to be true, but I'll be interested to see just how much better the cast is without Robyn Kass in charge. I just think she's an abomination and unprofessional :3

[Jack_]

Robyn casts BBCan incredibly well though so I often wonder if it's because Grodner and co are interfering too much that leads to the one-dimensional typecasts we get for BBUS

[Macie Lightfoot]

eh, I found BBCan3 and 4 to have casts as lackluster as recent BBUS seasons. The entire franchise hasn't been anything special since the switch to Global.

[Calderyon]

Probably still going to watch it and discuss it, even though i was looking forward to a little break.

[EspeonBB]

Odd numbered seasons are usually good whilst even numbered seasons aren't (well since BB12) so this will probably end up being good lol

[Calderyon]

And yes maybe with Robyn out of the picture for a while is seen in the casting as a positive sign.

Jeff as a host would feel very odd though. He is a fine enough interviewer, but as a live show host. Na ah, don´t think so.

[reece(:]

Ew if Schroedner hosts

[Wizard.]

Arisa is coming!

They're trial her for this season and then axe Julie for the All-Stars final season.

[AarynGriesfan]

I'm assuming they'll no longer have live eviction?

I think the format will be the same. You can still do a live eviction with CBS All-Access.

[AarynGriesfan]

And yes maybe with Robyn out of the picture for a while is seen in the casting as a positive sign.

Jeff as a host would feel very odd though. He is a fine enough interviewer, but as a live show host. Na ah, don´t think so.

I think Julie will still host it. I mean what else is she going to do? It would be weird to have Jeff host it but is not having Julie host it really that big of a deal? What are we gonna miss out on her saying But first every episode?

[LukeB]

Robyn is amazing at casting.

[Calderyon]

^ Only on BBCAN nowadays. ON BBUS she has been, but lately she has been of the rails.

[Macie Lightfoot]

She isn't even that amazing at BBCan tbh? There were plenty of duds in 3 and 4.

[reece(:]

There are no current US HGs as great as Brittnee/Loveita/Cass/Sindy etc though

[Calderyon]

She isn't even that amazing at BBCan tbh? There were plenty of duds in 3 and 4.

That happens in every season though. There´s always a few "duds" in every season.

[Macie Lightfoot]

but there weren't just a few duds.

[LukeB]

That happens in every season though. There´s always a few "duds" in every season.

Yeah this is true, every season has them, even much loved season 17...Steve,Jace,Jason,Clay,Jeff and kind of Meg. I love her but didn't find her that exciting.

[JerseyWins]

Robyn casts fine... I think she started slipping on like BB14 & BB15 but both the last 2 BBUS casts (BB16 & BB17) and the last 2 BBCAN casts have been pretty great lol...

Idk what to think of this year's cast yet but so far it's a flop overall. There are just a few I really like and one of those is a returnee and another is the brother of a past houseguest (who isn't really as good). Not to mention they just don't mesh well together for entertainment.

[Headie]

There are no current US HGs as great as Brittnee/Loveita/Cass/Sindy etc though

Justice 4 Day, Audrey, Vanessa and Britney?

[reece(:]

Justice 4 Day, Audrey, Vanessa and Britney?

A lower league of great

[JerseyWins]

But what about Johnny Mac, Zach, & the legendary Hitmen :clap1:

[reece(:]

All dire/vile

[Ross.]

Has it been said when this will air? Is it like straight after BB18? :worry:

[LukeB]

But what about Johnny Mac, Zach, & the legendary Hitmen :clap1:

Johnny Mac and Zach :lovedup:

[LukeB]

It said it is :worry: I don't know if it's the next day though,

[JerseyWins]

Johnny Mac and Zach :lovedup:
Here for a Zach & Mac Attack alliance on BB20 All Stars. :clap1:

[Firewire]

Has it been said when this will air? Is it like straight after BB18? :worry:

I'm assuming it's launching the Wednesday after with the HGs moving in one day after the finale

[JerseyWins]

What a mess if there's only like a week break after a 90+ day season. :joker:

[Ross.]

It said it is :worry: I don't know if it's the next day though,

I'm assuming it's launching the Wednesday after with the HGs moving in one day after the finale

Summer CBB teas

[Ross.]

Here for Bronte's redemption in BB19 :clap1:

[Firewire]

i think it might be an returnees season, I know they're casting but I think it's just a front for it. It's not been as widely promoted as it usually is.

Grodner has Jeff, Jordan, Rachel, Brendon, Daniele, Janelle and Frank all packed and ready

[caprimint]

Here for a Zach & Mac Attack alliance on BB20 All Stars. :clap1:
This would be the most superior alliance of all time.

[Calderyon]

Since it´s All Access only and will not be shown in network TV, i wonder will it have live feed? :think:

[Josiah.]

Since it´s All Access only and will not be shown in network TV, i wonder will it have live feed? :think:

Well, since live feeds are bundled with All Access; it's highly likely.

[Firewire]

Officially confirmed by CBS, Julie is hosting

http://www.cbs.com/shows/big_brother/news/1005575/new-digital-edition-of-big-brother-coming-to-cbs-all-access-this-fall/

[Jack_]

The new digital edition of Big Brother for CBS All Access will be produced by Emmy Award-winning producer Allison Grodner and Rich Meehan for Fly on the Wall Entertainment

delete it

Grodner won an Emmy?!?!?!

[Firewire]

Yeah but not for BB

[Ross.]

At least Julie is hosting

I couldn't go without my But Firsts

[DrunkerThanMoses]

I hope with it being shorter and not as big it will go back to being simple and no twists.

[Firewire]

They also confirmed BB20 for summer

[Jack_]

Yeah but not for BB

thank **** for that :joker:

Anyway I'm excited for this now Julie's hosting, if they cut back on the twists it might be great. I am however worried for my uni work :worry:

[Macie Lightfoot]

I can't wait for this season to actually be decent only for it to get swept under the rug and never discussed since people won't be watching since it's not on TV :)

[Firewire]

thank **** for that :joker:

Anyway I'm excited for this now Julie's hosting, if they cut back on the twists it might be great. I am however worried for my uni work :worry:

Same, I'm happy about Julie but normally I like October-December being BB free so I can get on with life :worry:

[EspeonBB]

I'm also hoping for a back to basics season. All the mindless twists in BB18 have been annoying

[DrunkerThanMoses]

Halloween HOH and Final 3 Christmas HOH :fc:

[Firewire]

Halloween HOH and Final 3 Christmas HOH :fc:

Omg shook at halloween

What is going on?!

[Headie]

It better be an all female cast

[DrunkerThanMoses]

It better be an all female cast

A guy would still win it somehow :laugh:

[Calderyon]

It better be an all female cast

Spoiler:

It wont be.

[Moosething]

Not there being a Big Brother series to watch in nearly every month of the year

[MB.]

Not there being a Big Brother series to watch in nearly every month of the year

By my reckoning (CBB; Jan-Feb, BBCan; March-May, BBUK; June-July, CBB; July-August, BBUS; June-September, BBUS 2.0; October-December), we'll have had a full twelve months of this show, which is not as fun as it sounds

[EspeonBB]

It better be an all female cast

A house with just Frankie, Jeff Schroeder and Frank is more likely :(

[Jack_]

By my reckoning (CBB; Jan-Feb, BBCan; March-May, BBUK; June-July, CBB; July-August, BBUS; June-September, BBUS 2.0; October-December), we'll have had a full twelve months of this show, which is not as fun as it sounds

And then CBB starts again in January, and if it overlaps into February with BBCan starting in March again, with BBUS back on in June, this long chain won't be over till September 2017 which is a whole 21 months of the show

Then again, we might get February next year off so who knows

[zakman440]

Some very small details revealed about this today:

A few more details about the forthcoming fall season of Big Brother came during CBS’ TCA session for CBS All Access yesterday. That’s the streaming, subscription-only service where the fall season will be broadcast.

While the TCA session was mostly focused on Star Trek: Discovery, the highly anticipated show with the unfortunate acronym, CBS Interactive president and COO Marc DeBevoise talked briefly about Big Brother. (He also said they’re keeping ST: D : “we are committed to the title”).

He said two new things about Big Brother’s fall season:

- Its “title and details will be forthcoming”

- “we’ll be playing off of the Big Brother live feeds concept, which is how we run the camera feeds of the house 24/7 online for CBS All Access subscribers”

So here is what we know about it so far:

- It will not be season 19 of Big Brother. That will air next summer, followed by season 20 in 2018.

- The show will debut “soon” after the Sept. 21 finale of BB18.

- It will last about 10 weeks, at least a full month shorter than the summer seasons.

- Julie Chen will host.

- The show’s regular producers, Allison Grodner and Rich Meehan, will executive produce this season, too.

- There will be a new title, presumably a subtitle.

- Casting is ongoing.

- The production will “reimagine this format for multi-platform audiences,” as DeBevoise said in an earlier press release.

[Ross.]

This doesn't make any sense, what are they doing

[Firewire]

Sounds like they're axing highlights episodes and just having the eviction :worry:

How does that even work

It says they're basing it on the live feed format :think:

[zakman440]

Little more released today:

CBS confirmed in early August that “Big Brother” will be airing a fall edition in 2016 that will air exclusively on CBS All Access.

Now, after speaking with the show’s executive producers and two CBS executives, Zap2it has some info for the “Big Brother” fans wondering just what this new season will look like.

Julie Chen’s involvement

Chen already tweeted that she would be involved in “Big Brother” on All Access, though CBS Interactive president Marc DeBevoise tells us Chen’s role will be a little different than TV viewers are used to.

“The show’s a little different, so the role isn’t exactly the same,” says DeBevoise. “But she will have her lead role in the show … she’s going to be the main person.”

Will there be past houseguests involved in some way?

DeBevoise says they’ve considered having past houseguests involved the way that former contestant Jeff Schroeder currently does interviews for the live feeds, while executive producer Rich Meehan says that they haven’t decided if they will have past players actually inside the house as contestants.

“We’re in the thick of re-imagining [the show], so we haven’t gotten to the point of ‘should we bring back people yet?'” says Meehan, as his co-executive producer Allison Grodner adds, “It could happen, you never know … there’s some legends that maybe you save for summer ‘Big Brother’ in the future, seeing as we just got picked up for two more [seasons].”

[B]What does 're-imagining' mean?

"They're working on what the format is going to be, so it's not going to be exactly how summer is, it's going to be the digital edition," says CBS president Glenn Gellar.

When pressed for details, Grodner says, "It's interesting because it's going to be such a different -- it's still 'Big Brother' but it's live -- the competitions won't be as big and all of that that we do because that's just the way it's going to play out. Competitions can possibly play out longer, people will be able to see everything, it won't be blocked."

Will there be packaged episodes?

"We're working on trying to come up with something so the All Access people that watch the feeds, they can do what they love, but if you're a broadcast watcher, there will be things for you to watch as well, so we're still trying to crack what that is, but we want to be able to appeal to the full audience," says Meehan. "We want to create times and schedules so if people just want to pop on for a key event, they can do that."

"You have to have some catch up [for people who don't watch the feeds]," Grodner explains. " the feeds are now primary. It's a whole new way of looking at it. We're really looking forward to it 'cause it really isn't being done anywhere. It's a bold experiment by CBS and it's the perfect show to do it with."

[B]The feeds will be spiced up

"I think that with a lot of the feeds now, there's a lot of long blocks [when they're down] for our competitions, you see a lot of people asleep -- there will be a reason for people to be awake, how about that?" teases Grodner.

DeBevoise adds that the show will be "without the restrictions of broadcast television to make it a little bit more interesting."

http://zap2it.com/2016/08/big-brother-on-cbs-all-access-everything-we-know/

It basically sounds like they're focusing more on the 'live' aspect of the show (though the lack of episodes sounds worrying for those that can't get access to the feeds).

[Firewire]

This is really bad for international viewers

[Pete.]

All Stars or I won't give this no HL show mess the time of day

I was going to go [2] but it seems like this online thing will be difficult for international watchers to watch so they can save it for next year etc.

[Calderyon]

http://zap2it.com/2016/08/big-brother-on-cbs-all-access-everything-we-know/

Meaning competitions/challenges/events/ceremonies would be potentially be seen live as they happen and the live stream would never go off/being blocked.

Meaning a true 24/7 stream. In other words, when one of the houseguests says it´s time to pick players for the veto competition or it´s time for the veto competition the feeds wouldn´t be blocked and the event would be streamed as it is.

[Ross.]

Having the stream on 24/7 sounds good for watching the comps unfold unedited etc but they need to make HL shows for it to work

[reece(:]

There's nothing you can re-watch if there's no episodes D:

But how will we know how the comps work if they're not preceded by multiple confessionals explaining the same rules twenty different ways?

[Calderyon]

^ They´ll probably do them, but with less quality than before.

This sounds like a good idea and it should happen anyway but they need to make highlight shows as well but since they don't acknowledge international watchers it probs won't happen. It would be okay if other countries can pay to watch it all I would but for obvious reasons I cant :laugh: It's a money grabber thing so casual viewers from USA will have to pay for live feeds.

[Pete.]

Looks like our USA members will have to be our feeds

http://i.imgur.com/lvos12D.png

[Calderyon]

Maybe a VPN could bypass the country blocking?

[AarynGriesfan]

I think they will come up with some type of show because other wise the diary room would be pointless. And they still need to do some type of eviction show. Its gonna be weird/ hard to pull this off properly and it might take some trial by error to figure out the best way to do it. It sounds like a cool idea but it might end up to be a crap so will see I guess.

[Calderyon]

[Calderyon]

The 24/7 feeds thing shouldn´t be a problem as other countries (bar Canada and Australia who do not have feeds anymore) have done it for years.

[Lostie!]

How very messy

[Calderyon]

big brother to turn into a book?

Big Brother USA: I came, I saw, I lost and then won.

[AarynGriesfan]

Big Brother USA: I came, I saw, I lost.

You guys can probably get a VPN to watch it though.

^ Yeah, I think most Google VPN applets should work.

[Calderyon]

There is no way for international people to watch this at all lmao I can't get over how messy this is

There most likely is, but it might cost you. You either have to buy a VPN service or use the VPN apps to bypass the country restrictions. And of course invent some bogus information about your whereabouts when ordering the service.

[LukeB]

There most likely is, but it might cost you. You either have to buy a VPN service or use the VPN apps to bypass the country restrictions. And of course invent some bogus information about your whereabouts when ordering the service.

CBS charges people to watch feeds and you need a US credit card for that, so our only hope is other websites which gets taken down most times.

[AarynGriesfan]

Can multiple people share an account or will it kick you out if someone else logs on?

[Calderyon]

CBS charges people to watch feeds and you need a US credit card for that, so our only hope is other websites which gets taken down most times.

Oh, yeah, i forgot they have added international banking restrictions (meaning you have to have a credit card that´s been issued by an US situated bank to access it) for it too.

[Jason.]

This sounds like trash so I'll just wait until next summer for the real BB19 to perch live.

[Calderyon]

Can multiple people share an account or will it kick you out if someone else logs on?

Most likely it tells you that your account has been compromised due to multiple connections (different IP´s) and has been closed/freezed/locked for your safety (the account holder).
And then saying you can unlock your account by issuing them your email that you signed for in the account.

[Ross.]

The site I use for feeds (rarely used it this season tho) has worked all season so hopefully they work for whatever this is

[AarynGriesfan]

Also another thought I had is do prepaid credit cards work? I wouldn't mind picking one up for someone if they wanted to watch and it actually works.

[reece(:]

Can multiple people share an account or will it kick you out if someone else logs on?

You renting out your account for business prospect tea?

[caprimint]

I'm like 90% sure that someone will stream it someplace online. I dunno how interested I'll be in it cus it doesn't feel like a 'real' Big Brother. Definitely curious about it though.

[Macie Lightfoot]

But how will we know how the comps work if they're not preceded by multiple confessionals explaining the same rules twenty different ways?

how will we know people's motivations to win comps without confessionals?

["I'm on the block this week so I have to win this Veto! If I don't win, there's a good chance I could be going home!"]

[Kargo]

I just hope they have proper shows, bar evictions and don't drip feed us with little videos here and there

[BBfanUSA]

Big update on the Fall Season,

The season will be called Big Brother Over The Top

-1 ep a week, but daily recaps
-24/7 feeds, No scheduled Fishies
-Starts September 28th

[LukeB]

oh dear.

[Braden]

This all seems so strange :p

[BBfanUSA]

Explosion of friendship :joker:

but this is going to be really hard for international watchers..

[Jason.]

Hmm trash, I'll wait for BB19 in June 2017.

[MB.]

*possibility of there being no episodes* "hmm trash"
*announcement that there will indeed be episodes* "hmm trash"

Well this is an encouraging attitude isn't it folks

I mean, it's not wrong (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Over-the-top_content)

[Jack_]

The thought of being able to watch ceremonies unedited is certainly interesting but I'm not entirely sure how easy this is gonna be to follow, especially outside of the US

I was also (perhaps naively) hoping that it would just be a pure season, no @ increased viewer participation

[Samm]

kicking a dead horse even harder are they

[MB.]

mixing up our idioms are we

(I mean, yeah, they are. But it's a good opportunity to try something like this with a show that it won't reflect on too badly if this all flops)
