Big Brother 23 USA - Season Premiere July 7th.
 

jeezus, back around again.
All stars 2 was such a disappointment.
Was the first season id watched since i think 15 or something.
I will not be watching this trash.

Rumours:
-Completely new house (it was about time)
-All newbies
-Public vote to evict. They keep HOH and nominations/veto, but the public decides who goes. (not very reliable as it's a big format change but it's going around a lot)

New house and newbies sounds good, public voting to evict sounds horrible.

And idiotic.

It's closer to the BB spirit and the format of season 1 but it's not well received in the fandom apparently. Maybe CBS leaked it to test the waters and it's not going well. But some say some format change is to be expected. tbh Canada has been doing better these last years so Grodner needs to step it up at some point. It's just that fan voting for BB US is so weird to think about.

BBUS1 tried it on Season 1 and it failed miserably and almost canceled the show. They don't even want to remember it and hardly ever even mention it as it was that bad of a season. To change it back to public deciding after 21 seasons seems absolute madness and doomed to fail.

The fans, the super fans, the casuals etc. would all probably hate it and it would very likely fail miserably.

The production team! would need to change up tbh.

Maybe they are planning a 2nd season of BB OTT instead?

Yeah I'm not even sure why it didn't work while it worked very well in other countries.
BB OTT was a good alternative to that.

But anyway, at least the casting team has been changed but production team needs a good shake up too.

I think it's because Survivor 1 doing so well (and Richard for winning) with the cutthroat and competition element and tbh most of US game shows with prize money in the last 50+ years of so being about self interest and beating your opponents (ie: one willing to do anything to win).

Tbh, had Will not won BB2 the way he did and for example Hardy won instead, BBUS would very likely not have lasted this long.

I wouldn't mind there being a public vote to add in a third HG at the noms or something, but I don't like the idea of the public being able to vote someone out. To me the whole premise is being able to be a dirty/lying player but convince others otherwise (or to be so nice/wholesome people love you, although that's a lot more boring). Not quite the same when the public knows your plans. Just my opinion though

I would love to see some kind of shake up to stop people just voting unanimously, at least for say the first 5 votes

Basically this. Much like how British reality TV formed as a reaction to the Nasty Nick incident, American reality TV formed as a reaction to Richard winning Survivor.

Hope it's as good as last season :amazed:

And rumour has it that the house theme is "Beach Club".
The lack or originality again :rolleyes:

:joker:

Sounds like BBCAN earlier.

Wondering how they picked the teams. And I suppose the twist is made to avoid steamrolling? Though the «*bros*» will always choose the bros and the hot girls at some point :shrug:

Cast has been released and I'm enjoying this excerpt from Christians bio a bit too much:

I'm not predicting who if first to go or is the winner because I would jinx them :joker:

Let's gooooooooooo I'm so ready for a new season of BBUS, especially because I watched BBCAN in major catch-up mode (it was good tho, maybe even really good). Let's follow up a F3 as legendary as Cody-Enzo-Nicole :clap1:

I noticed the cast was revealed earlier today. Had a look, seems like it's only pics and bios out right now? I've seen a little clip of Travis being a total frat type and that guy might be fuuuuuunny af :joker: I'm pumped

Up on that first post... please tell me public voting isn't actually a possibility :joker: Keep that to the UK version

Derek & Derek final two!

Whitney ftw

Looks like a good cast, excited for the season etc

One of the cast got tested positive for covid the day of the launch and got replaced with this woman. She looks like she’s gonna be trash - in her bio she said she’s targeting all the men and her favourite BB players are solely female duos (which basically dont exist) :skull:
