Default The reason for the lack of BB20 news
Considering we should've had the premiere date two months ago I've been a bit confused, so did a bit of digging to find out what's been going on behind the scenes, and thought I'd share what I found for those who don't know

Basically, CBS (and notably Les Moonves) are embroiled in a legal battle that may well end in his resignation. The speculation is that if he leaves then Julie will too out of loyalty, throwing Big Brother into chaos. Basically, they seemingly have much bigger things to focus on than BB20...

Here's some good articles that provide an overview of the legal battle:

I really hope it's not delayed (at least not too much) or even skipped this year


Also will we really never have another All Stars season Is it too much to ask for a second season of Enzo or Johnny Mac or Zach Rance or Jen Johnson (although I'm not sure if she'd be a lock for AS)

Definitely! Idk if she would be though She probably does fit for an All Stars season enough and I'm sure they'd give her a call as at least a possibility but then I also wonder if she would even do it again

As much as I love Julie, if her husband is hushed and bribed out of CBS, she will stand by her man and sadly step down as host.

A new host would be refreshing if they pick the right one...

I don't like Chenbot as a host, like at all really, but I'd probably miss her and it wouldn't feel right if she was replaced

Because it's the one year where All Stars makes sense.

Grodner already said it wont be a returning player season. Wait till all the shows that are airing are over with before they start advertising for BB thats what usually happens.

Julie is the best host, she must stay. She's better than Jeff Probst.

CBS begins advertising for Big Brother on the date of the Survivor finale, which is this Wednesday. If Julie is there, then we know for sure she's returning as the host. If not, that extends as evidence that she may not return and that her status is pending. She also has a contract, so if she already agreed to host BB20, she has to or prepared to be sued for breach of Contract.

If Julie may not return, that doesn't effect the premier date because I'm pretty sure that CBS & Allison have a back-up plan in the case Julie backs out or in unable to host (hence Season 11, when she was pregnant).

As for no set date of when the show will air, my other guesses are:

1. Big Brother doesn't need to advertise as much because fans often know that the show will premier on the last Wednesday of June, as it has done so for the past five years.
2. We may be getting a July premier and a season lasting no longer than 75-82 days, and it wouldn't surprise me if that it an effect from the Celeb Season. If it is less than 75 days, then that could be a sign for OTT2 in the Fall.

Isn't cast reveal usually like 2 weeks (or a week and a half) before the premiere? So that's reeeally close and we still haven't gotten much of anything for rumors and news on this season

Actually it might only be a week before when they enter the house but still.
