It will be posted sometime between now and premiere. HOH and twist spoilers may or may not be known before the premiere airs. I'll post 'em if I get 'em. Next ShowsWednesday 6/27 8pm - Two-hour premiere (recorded 6/20)Thursday 6/28 9pm - Premiere part 2 Sunday 7/1 8pm - BB App Store debut Regular schedule is Sundays 8pm, Wednesdays 9pm, live eviction Thursdays 9pm, on CBS (Global in Canada) - stream links to watch live online are posted in Quick Links & Bookmarks on the left sidebar After Dark airs every night on Pop - times vary by area and provider, check your cable guide Other News![]() Cast bios/pics/links and house pics are gathered at Hamsterwatch Forum: your one-stop shop, with easy access and no pop-up ads. The season will be 99 days according to an ET feature. That's a week longer than last year, which had been blessedly reduced from the last few 98- and 99-day marathon seasons that came before it. The June 27 premiere will include three competitions, not including HOH, that promise "game-changing power and two unprecedented punishments." There will also be a room this season (likely the spare Paris/Den upstairs) designated the BB App Store, where "America will get a chance to get the houseguests trending in order to award them powers or punishments." The App Store twist will have its TV debut on Sunday, July 1. ![]() ![]() Dick at Night with Evel Dick Donato will be three shows a week again, with insightful, funny, raunchy, and/or "WTF are the hamsters doing" commentary with a rotating roster of alumni panels - check it out at EvelDick.com Post-eviction shows will be hosted by BB Celeb runner-up Ross Mathews and winner Marissa Winokur, Fridays on Facebook Watch. Ross did the All Access interviews live, and he did the after-show with evictees for BB11, and he was superb at both of course - he keeps up with the feeds, not just the air shows! The Amazing Race 31 began taping June 10 in Hermosa Beach, CA. Big Brother teams include Janelle Pierzina & Britney Haynes, Nicole Franzel & Victor Arroyo, and Rachel & Elissa Reilly. They took off for Japan that day, along with Survivors Eliza & Corrine, Bret & Chris, Rupert & Laura, and TAR alums Leo & Jamal, Becca & Floyd, Tyler & Korey, Art & JJ, and Colin & Christie. BB20 real-time feeds updates and air show recaps will be at Hamsterwatch Forum by @UGotBronx once again Diary segment tallies by @clamperls and Alliance charts by @89razorskate20 will be posted here Ratings Watch Air show overnight ratings will be posted here ![]() Daily and Noteworthy Events![]() They taped the premiere early in the day, with a few dozen alums along with a stunt audience. There were representatives "from every season" at the taping (but not OTT, other than Jason who also repped BB17, or celebs). No twists were revealed and they didn't start the HOH or supplementary comps, but no vets moved in with the 16 rookies, so that's something. One or more could come along later but nearly the entire fanbase is hoping not. Bayleigh was the first through the doors so unless she breaks the 28-season US/Canada streak, she won't be winning the season. ![]() June 2018For the friends and families![]() First, realize the TV editors' job isn't to make your person look good: they're making a TV show.. they might put your person's worst or dumbest moments on the show, and they often specialize in "out of context".. nothing will change that, you just need to accept it, as well as the fact that people watch the feeds 24/7.. feedsters will see your person at their best and their worst, and some will dwell on either extreme: whispered conversations, bad habits, grooming rituals - you name it, it will be analyzed, made fun of, obsessed about, idolized and ridiculed, and it'll live on the internet forever.. you just need to accept that too Second, the vast majority of BB fans and feedsters are fun, funny, kind-hearted people, but nearly all BB fans and most sites, myself included, have some fun at the hamsters' expense (I call them hamsters because watching live feeds is like watching and poking at hamsters in a cage).. some folks can take it to vicious, hateful extremes and others can become obsessive, stalkerish fanatics, and social media has magnified that exponentially in the last several years.. if you try to bait or argue with the haters or let the obsessive ones get too close, you'll probably regret it Third, not everyone is going to love your person, no matter how much you think they should.. every single hamster has both fans and haters.. even the most popular ones have hardcore haters, and the least popular ones always have some dedicated fans.. your person is going to come home after all this and be whoever they were before, and that's what matters.. until then, count to ten before engaging with viewers of either extreme Mostly just have fun, bookmark and save things you come across for your person when they get home, and try to relax - even/especially if they're about to be evicted.. they all survive But don't just take my word for it, read it from three who have been there: see For the friends and loved ones by BB15 Spencer Clawson's girlfriend Marilyn, about watching her guy on one of BB USA's most volatile seasons, Advice to houseguests's moms & dads by BB17 winner Steve Moses's mom Kathleen, and What it's really like to be the Mother of an All-Star by BB6/7/14 Janelle Pierzina's mom Ann.. ongoing thanks to all of them for sharing their thoughts ![]() Ratings - Meet the Rookies editionPre-season ratings to be based on potential entertainment value - free neutrals and just the facts for now, per their official bios. My quick takes will be posted shortly.
