Big Brother: All Stars [LIVE Premiere - August 5]

[Jack_]

Thought we'd make it official!

Big Brother All-Stars Edition Premieres Wednesday, Aug. 5

Big Brother returns on Aug. 5 at 9/8c with an all-star cast who have one thing in common: something to prove.

The wait is over, BB fans!

The summer reality staple Big Brother will return for its 22nd season with a two-hour live move-in premiere event on Wednesday, Aug. 5 at 9/8c on CBS and CBS All Access.

This season features an all-star returning cast of players who have one thing in common: all of them have something to prove!

This summer marks Big Brother's 20th anniversary since debuting on CBS on July 5, 2000. Season 22 is the second time in the series' history to feature an all-star cast, the first being in 2006.

Once again, fans can look forward to checking in on the Houseguests three times a week. Following the premiere, the series will air Sundays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays at 8/7c on CBS and CBS All Access, with Thursdays being the live eviction show hosted by Julie Chen Moonves.

The all-star Houseguests, including winners, finalists, legends, memorable personalities, and some of the best to never win the game, will be announced closer to premiere.

Big Brother production will follow specific health and safety protocols for COVID-19 with the welfare of everyone involved as the highest priority.

Houseguests will undergo a quarantine period prior to production and will be tested several times prior to entering the house. Once inside, they will be tested weekly during the season and have no contact with any crew members, and all supplies delivered will be disinfected. In addition, the live show will not have a studio audience.

All staff and crew members will be tested prior to commencing work on a regular basis, as well as screened daily for symptoms. They'll be required to wear PPE and will work in pods to enhance social distancing. In addition, a COVID-19 compliance officer will be on staff to monitor and enforce all health and safety COVID-19 protocols.

As always, Big Brother follows a group of people living together in a house outfitted with 94 HD cameras and 113 microphones, recording their every move 24 hours a day.

Each week, someone will be voted out of the house, with the last remaining Houseguest receiving the grand prize of $500,000.

Don't miss the season premiere of Big Brother on Wednesday, Aug. 5 at 9/8c on CBS and CBS All Access.

Then, watch all-new episodes of Big Brother on Sundays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays at 8/7c on CBS and CBS All Access.

[DouglasS]

I will be rooting for Daniele Donato - I hope she is the same as she was in her previous seasons

[DouglasS]

Why would anyone want Bayleigh? :umm2: (or Nicole BB18, but I guess I can see her appeal as she was alright on BB16, just a rat on 18)

This is meant to be All Stars we want Zach Rance

[Joe.]

No Keesha? Can’t really call it all stars then ay?

[Macie Lightfoot]

As I said in the last thread, I feel like everyone needs to curb their excitement because if anything has remained true time and time again, it’s that returning player seasons never fail to disappoint. I think that might serve especially true on BB since everyone is even more aware of the cameras and the cesspool known as stan Twitter, and thus we’ll have people largely censoring themselves or playing up a character and not seeing their true colors or their mask slip or whatever your favorite BBUK expression is.

[JerseyWins]

Yeah I haven’t heard a thing about Zach Rance. Where he at????

[Macie Lightfoot]

Nowhere to be seen thankfully.

If there’s one positive that comes from COVID’s impact on this, there won’t be audiences for evictions so we won’t get people holding the door open for JC and others to wave and pander to the crowd.

[Josiah.]

This is gonna be the first season of BBUS since BBOTT to have a live launch. I'm so excited!

[Ramsay]

Excited :clap1:

Aw yes I hate that ****

[Liam-]

I’ll actually try and keep up with this season

[Calderyon]

Good.

But hopefully it will be a good cast although I doubt that very much.

[Captain.Remy]

I have good hopes for this season, even though All-Stars seasons can be disappointing. Sometimes bigger names together don't make a good show but lesser big names can. So it really all depends on the cast...and how Grodner decides to behave this year.

Grodner will favor her favorites like always, no question about that.

[LukeB]

Yeah I haven’t heard a thing about Zach Rance. Where he at????

Unfortunately he didn’t get a call or he didn’t want to do it, he exposed BB for rigging stuff (which isn’t exactly new information) :laugh:

[caprimint]

:sleep: :rolleyes:

[DouglasS]

Oh I didn’t know you liked Zach Rance! Macie doesn’t like zach rance So I assumed you’d have the same views, as you two normally agree on everything nowadays

Derrick was going to win regardless of ‘rig’ or not, he played a perfect game

[caprimint]

Oh I didn’t know you liked Zach Rance! Macie doesn’t like zach rance So I assumed you’d have the same views, as they don’t seem to differ

Derrick was going to win regardless of ‘rig’ or not, he played a perfect game
NOOOOOOOOO DJSKSDKX :joker:

[Braden]

I’m gonna play the fool and say I’m excited for this season. The pre-show hype regarding all-stars for any show is fun to be part of. However, like most BBUS seasons I’ll probably watch the premiere and then watch a few live feed clips on YouTube, lmao.

[Macie Lightfoot]

Zach “exposing” the show for rigging was just him being like “they, um, ask you questions in the Diary Room, so it was as groundbreaking as Trisha Paytas revealing producers gave Sarah Harding her meds.

But he *has* been blacklisted for a while now due to him soliciting underage girls on YouNow and throwing a temper tantrum over TAR casting.

[caprimint]

Anyway Zach being the "KING" is what we LOVE to see!

[Jack_]

:sleep: :rolleyes:

He did lol, I loved Zach but he burned a lot of bridges with CBS over The Amazing Race

He’d have definitely returned by now if not, probs for BB18

[caprimint]

LukeB is just being hopeful Jack!!!!

As always lol

[Macie Lightfoot]

He did lol, I loved Zach but he burned a lot of bridges with CBS over The Amazing Race

He’d have definitely returned by now if not, probs for BB18

QJnhXC8oJiI

It was a combo of the TAR meltdown and doing **** like this to get money from underage girls on YouNow back in like 2016-2017.

[Matthew.]

I’m surprised it’s still going ahead as I didn’t think there would be a BB season this summer due to the current situation with coronavirus. I would have preferred a season full of newbies tbh but I will still watch the All Stars season for as long as it’s on air

[Jack_]

Also I’m still reeling that Diane is the latest rumour, it’s so absurd that it surely can’t be true :skull:

And I love me some old schoolers but couldn’t we have someone a bit more interesting? Monica? Original Nicole? Alison?

[LukeB]

Also I’m still reeling that Diane is the latest rumour, it’s so absurd that it surely can’t be true :skull:

And I love me some old schoolers but couldn’t we have someone a bit more interesting? Monica? Original Nicole? Alison?

Or Jun!

(Julie interviewing Jun may be awkward though)

[Jack_]

Sadly I think Jun is probably blacklisted too :joker:

[caprimint]

Y'all be finding Zach Rance hot ain't it

[NICKP]

CBS shows their covid tests live on tv to determine who gets in the house

[Captain.Remy]

Grodner will favor her favorites like always, no question about that.

That's why I pointed it out :joker:

[Macie Lightfoot]

Okay how are we going to talk about robbed old school players and not mention the princess of darkness LISA DONAHUE like good god people.

Also, can we discuss the fact that Rachel certainly has to be tweeting for Elissa? See:

1286162307077160960

[Denver]

is Frankie Grande doing it?

[Nicky91]

imagine anyone liking troll frankie grande :joker:

[Denver]

He is a CBB legend so shut up Nicholas

[Jack_]

I’d take Lisa over Diane

So...of the rumoured names, I think the only ones I don’t want to see are Kaycee (boring), Nicole F (awful), Amber and Christmas (pointless). Oh and Cody :umm2:

Everyone else I’m either excited for or can tolerate!

[Captain.Remy]

is Frankie Grande doing it?

I guess Josh is replacing him as the "token gay" HG that must be cast every year.

[Nicky91]

He is a CBB legend so shut up Nicholas

legend :hehe: not even a celebrity so


the Grande's are just the next kardashians, more or less similar trashy and talentless

[Macie Lightfoot]

The real question is what did Nicole do to Elissa's four year old niece???

[Braden]

I guess Josh is replacing him as the "token gay" HG that must be cast every year.

Josh is gay?!

Plus, I need to know the drama between Nicole F and this four-year-old.

[Captain.Remy]

Josh is gay?!

It's like everybody knows except his family or whatever. It's just that obvious.

[Braden]

God love him.

Such bs if we don't get Zach for an All Stars season (which seems likely/definite) considering how legendary of a character he was </3

Also I’m still reeling that Diane is the latest rumour, it’s so absurd that it surely can’t be true :skull:

And I love me some old schoolers but couldn’t we have someone a bit more interesting? Monica? Original Nicole? Alison?
Diane would be an interesting/good choice but how many original All Stars would they have go again idk? I just recently watched back the first few BB7 All Stars episodes and Diane was pretty funny, kinda forgot I liked her a lot :clap1: Maybe should finally watch BB5 too

CBS shows their covid tests live on tv to determine who gets in the house
:skull:

Grodner will favor her favorites like always, no question about that.
Good she has solid faves :clap1: (mostly)

[Black Dagger]

Lmao no she doesn't.

[Mandie]

The real question is what did Nicole do to Elissa's four year old niece???

Yes?? What is this?? I need to know

[Captain.Remy]

I read some thing I find interesting on another forum:

"Like Kaycee and Josh were sharing a zoom call during last night's Challenge Reunion. So you're talking the two of them plus any other former Challenge players plus anybody else they're connected to....

We could be looking at a Josh/Kaycee/Tyler/Paul/Paulie/Day/Cody/Nicole F./Christmas/Bayleigh alliance without that much trouble."

And that is so right, but hope it doesn't happen. That's the issue with AS seasons and people already close to each other prior. And I don't even speak about financial deals etc.

[Mitchell]

Why would anyone want Bayleigh? :umm2: (or Nicole BB18, but I guess I can see her appeal as she was alright on BB16, just a rat on 18)

This is meant to be All Stars we want Zach Rance

Can’t believe Douglas has summed my thoughts up (other than Bayleigh, didn’t watch her season so can’t comment)

[Wizard.]

This is what I’m worried about. Of course I’m excited but at the same time I just know that if they are there, people like Danielle Donato/Reyes and Janelle stand absolutely no chance and the final will consists of Paul/Tyler/Kaycee/Josh and I just can’t put myself through that.

[caprimint]

Lmao no she doesn't.
Better than yours

[Barry.]

I'll try watch it. Though I wanted most older players and people who never did two or three seasons but oh well.

[Jack_]

Discussing the rumours live now:

VZLcoquLHls

Lol Sharon just said re. Nicole "I don't think CBS necessarily wanted to have her back" :joker: :joker: :joker:

[Jack_]

also I'm screaming at this :joker::joker::joker::joker::joker::joker:

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EdoF5i0XsAAgYeE?format=jpg&name=medium

"She" sounds like Trump

[Black Dagger]

Better than yours

When

[Calderyon]

Daniele Donato vs Janelle Pierzina veto battle sounds quite exciting.

[DouglasS]

Daniele Donato vs Janelle Pierzina veto battle sounds quite exciting.

Isn’t Janelle In her 40s now? I can’t see her being a comp beast anymore... especially against much younger contestants

[Morgan.]

Isn’t Janelle In her 40s now? I can’t see her being a comp beast anymore... especially against much younger contestants

Why should someone who is 40 be immediately counted out of any challenges? Shall we just add casual ageism to your list of toxic traits ...?

[DouglasS]

Why should someone who is 40 be immediately counted out of any challenges? Shall we just add casual ageism to your list of toxic traits ...?

I mean it’s statistics, no woman in her 40s has been a comp beast or dominated competitions in big brother?

It’s also biological.. a woman in her 40s is not as strong as a male/female in their 20s, it’s science. About half of the competitions are physical in some format...

I am using logical thinking, statistics and science behind what I am saying, you can be emotional all you like. You can say I’m ageist all you like but it’s like saying why aren’t 40 year old women competing in the olympics? It’s because it’s extremely rare To still have that fitness at that level, can only think of a few female athletes (serena Williams, who isn’t even 40 may i add) who have been able to keep it up, especially after children

If being smart and logical is a toxic trait then :facepalm:

Idk have you like ever considered mental comps? Physical strength isn’t everything. And lots of 40 year old women are stronger than someone in their 20’s. it’s like saying men are better in physical challenges when they’re not always, far from it.

[DouglasS]

To be a comp beast though you need to be able to dominate the majority of competitions, being rubbish at the physicals and good at the mental can still make you a competitor, I am just saying I can’t see her at all being a comp beast as she’s in her 40s and will likely not be able to compete with much fitter contestants.

And what you are saying is true, but Big Nrother doesn’t typically cast random 20 year olds, the majority of them are physically fit and muscular. Once again I’m discussing about big brother and not the world as a whole

[Macie Lightfoot]

I think it's bizarre to compare Grodner's Funhouse Games to the Olympics because like... Hide and Go Veto and Yankee Swap and BB Comics are not going to be featured in Tokyo any time soon.

But ultimately I think the bigger reason we haven't had a 40 year old woman comp beast is because the show rarely casts 40 year old women in the first place!

[Macie Lightfoot]

So Rachel is absolutely tweeting for Elissa

Derrick said he dropped out because of his daughter not wanting him to leave so why is he unhappy with Nicole? what is the truth here :laugh:

[Ramsay]

Quite good gameplay by Nicole if true and it hasn't even started yet

[DouglasS]

So Rachel is absolutely tweeting for Elissa

1286679091836407809

I think Rachel is in control of the twitter also, Elissa was not at all like this on BB :skull:

Looking likely that Elissa is going in then?

It's actually quite nice for once?

Kaycee's "let's go" being one of the murals :skull:

[Nicky91]

ew horrendous looking house


UK, Germany do it way better ''house designs''

[Jack_]

also Grodner confirmed in an interview that there's FINALLY a new front of house, which at this point given the rumoured names I'm more excited to see than the cast :joker:

[Macie Lightfoot]

The Kitchen/Dining Room looks sooooooo ugly to me, like the graffiti is legit incomprehensible. The Danielle devil horns section in particular is illegible; and Kaycee somehow being one of the six representatives is so bad it’s almost funny.

The superhero/BB Comics room is cute except for the Frankie shot :skull: and Angela too ugh

[Samm]

the corny ass slogans :skull:

[Captain.Remy]

It's...strange but at least it's not another "beach house/camping" theme. It's not bad but we'll see in HQ how this turns out.

[JerseyWins]

Idk why but the Derrick one up top as if he's looking down at the houseguests is pretty funny to me :joker:

[Wizard.]

That kitchen is very 2006?

[Captain.Remy]

https://twitter.com/melbrown00/status/1290332069026045954?s=20

[Captain.Remy]

I'm feeling this lounge tbh. Looks clean, polished and the fake windows are serving!

I’m genuinely impressed? Seems less tacky and thrown together than the decor usually is

The HoH room is amazing :love:

[Captain.Remy]

That HoH room is impressive! Totally the kind of design in my house!

[Ammi]

...very stylish HOH room...:love:...I loved the bathroom of ducks and the black and white photos of past housemates...and also, the framed keys...so many well thought out touches, as a homage to all who have gone before, that makes it so special...:love:..

[Wizard.]

New front of house. Nice but not BBCAN level

https://ew.com/tv/big-brother-all-stars-julie-chen-moonves-new-house-stage/

[Captain.Remy]

I'm feeling this new stage! And overall the house too.

Have a good watching guys! I will be watching tomorrow morning when I wake up!

[Wizard.]

I have work from 9am-6pm and the show starts at 2am my time, thinking I'll go sleep 11-2 watch BB then go back to sleep as I don't know if I can wait until tomorrow evening to watch it!

[JerseyWins]

^ A good choice :clap1:

I am HYPE for this official cast reveal (I'm assuming it's the one that's rumored tho) & for this All Stars season to get started!!! :dazzler:

[Wizard.]

If this wasn't All Stars I wouldn't be hyped due to the last couple of seasons being sh*t shows.

[Captain.Remy]

Yeah I would probably be excited after the premiere because I need to see it for myself.

[Calderyon]

I will watch the premiere later, I will not be watching it live.

Thank you.

[Jack_]

Well...I can’t quite believe I’m about to watch an All Stars season live but here we are

[Barry.]

Mine went off .

[Macie Lightfoot]

So I have no power until possibly MONDAY, so I am doing this from a ****ing hotel but here we go.

I must say that Nicole being the first one in is ****ing hilarious :joker:::joker::joker:

[Macie Lightfoot]

Daniele basically kept her dad on read by not even mentioning his name on her VT holy **** :love:

Da'Vonne being an "acting coach" okay.

I kinda dig these BBUK style VTs though?

[Macie Lightfoot]

THE MASKS holy **** :joker:

[Macie Lightfoot]

Just realized this isn't the episode thread okay bye!
