Big Brother 28
dingo's Hamsterwatch
 
I don't care who wins, I'm just here for the cheap entertainment.. the cheaper, the better
This site is about the Big Brother 28 feeds and contains spoilers! It isn't necessarily thorough: it's what I catch and/or what interests me. It's about watching hamsters: who's doing what and why. Thanks for encouraging my behavior.
Your pal, dingo

Daily Feeds Recaps

Pre-season - May 2026

BB28 premiere

Feeds will be back again via Paramount Plus, and via Pluto TV (with ads). When the feeds start, so will my recaps. But the pre-season kicked off right on schedule on May 13 with the announcement that Season 28 will premiere on Thursday, July 9.

Other teasers and tidbits will start coming along but for now here's what we know: the usual CBS schedule will again be Sundays, Wednesdays, live Thursdays, all starting at 8pm Eastern/local time. The first two shows, July 9 and 12, will be 90 minutes, as will all Wednesday shows. Unlocked will be back, starting Friday, July 10 at 8pm, and it will have a live audience this time. It hasn't been specified if it'll be every other week again, or every Friday.

The press release teased the usual promise of a new season "packed with twists and turns" (which we probably don't need), and it said this season will feature "the most programming hours ever." If Unlocked is every week, that might fulfill that promise/threat. I just hope we aren't going back to over-long seasons again. They did not mention "all new" houseguests, which could imply one or more vets (boo!)

And they hyped up how the show's 1,000th episode is coming up. Specifically, they called it "a historic milestone" (true), and they said this is "the first primetime series to hit 1,000 original episodes." But that claim arguably has some challengers with 60 Minutes, Cops, 48 Hours, Larry King, WWE Raw, and Nova. If they meant weekdays-only primetime, entertainment programs, non-cable, on the big three broadcast networks, maybe they could claim that record.

thank youHUGE THANKS and everlasting gratitude to you lovely folks who support my silly endeavors here! And a reminder you can do so again so I can cover yet another season. You can subscribe to my Patreon, which will also get my daily write-ups emailed to you every night. iOS users should sign up for Patreon at that web link rather than through the app to avoid a 30% surcharge by Apple. Once you're signed up, you can use the app to access my page or any Patreon creator. There's currently no additional charge using Android.

You can also make one-time donations of any amount with Ko-fi. All donations are hugely appreciated! Finally, my Etsy shop has a selection of handmade-by-me items currently, though I'll be temporarily closing it when the feeds start. If you aren't in a position to shell out cash right now, turning off ad blockers here on my site helps me, as do social media reposts. Many, many thanks in for any and all support, and for sticking with me!

Speaking of social media, I'll once again be posting mostly on Bluesky for my BB social platform. Bluesky has a lively BB community that's proven to have a lot of fun and bright fans, with a lot less noise, toxicity, ads, spam, and other garbage that's become rampant on Twitter. And Bluesky has a lot of great tools to customize your feeds, and no system-wide algorithms.

I'll be back with any new tidbits that may pop up as we go, as well as the cast when we get them. I have posted my usual advice for families and friends of cast members, should you run across any of them. Onward!



Ratings - TBA edition

Ratings will be based on entertainment value, usually - free neutrals for all until they earn otherwise.
I'll post official basic stats here when we get the cast.

Noms count: original/renom/twist

BB28 finalist prizes are likely the same: $750k for the winner, $75k for 2nd place, $10k for 3rd, $7.5k for 4th, $5k for 5th.
Stipend is probably still $1k per week for all except 1st and 2nd place, including pre-season sequester. Stuntcasts likely get more.

The habitat has 112 HD cameras (up 18) and 113 microphones (no change).

The recorded in-house announcements are the voice of producer Don Wollman. He and Julie Chen are the only senior staffers who have been there since Big Brother 1.
