BB Takeover confirmed to be over

Quote:

The biggest twist of the season that was shown in all the promos and commercials for Big Brother 17 was the brand new twist titled “BB Takeover”. A new twist was supposed to affect into the game each week, though the takeovers stopped after only week 3.

Both fans and houseguests have speculated as to what happened to the BB Takeover twist as they unexpectedly stopped only 3 weeks into the game. Instead of telling us what happened or why it was stopped, CBS decided to act like it had never existed, ignoring the fact fans would question each week if there was a new takeover happening.

Luckily for all the Big Brother fans that out there that were curious, a journalist from Reality Blurred caught up with Julie Chen at CBS’ TCA event for journalists, where Julie confirmed the BB Takeover twist is over, along with the reasoning behind it. Here’s what Julie had to say:

“We had so much going on, it was better to focus on the pure game–because the game is genius–and the twin twist. You don’t want to give the viewers too much to balance out between, ‘Oh, the power of veto. Oh the double HOHs.’ There was enough going on. You have to clean up a little bit. Pure game.”

"Oh you don't like BotB? I'll take away Takeover then"

Which is a shame since I liked the Takeover Twists.

MESS at it lasting 3 weeks

Not this flopping after Julie hyped it up so much in the premiere :joker:

I'm really glad they did this because there was already way too much going on (BotB really messes with the flow of the show which is why the last 2 weeks have been so good).

Hoping they realised BoTB needed to go, for good, too!

No more Britney? </3

Julie is right there was a little too much going on tbh and i just love the game aspect of it

What a weak twist but glad it's over because it's true, on a season like this where so much is happening it would've been over the top to add twists every week too.

I must be the only one who has missed all of this stuff that's going on 'cause i've been thinking exactly the opposite to be honest!
The 'twin twist' was a real damp squib!!! They expected it to cause a huge panic and for everyone to be desperate to crush it but instead it got figured out really early on and pretty much because Austin was desperate to please one twin they did everything they could to do the opposite of what would have been the sensible thing to do.:facepalm:

I've enjoyed it a bit more since the power has switched to James/Jackie & Beckie but Vanessa really needs to go and Shelli along with her! Hopefully that will get sorted this week

Spoiler:

I was really hoping they'd stick with it tbh
