Welcome to the new season of Big Brother! The houseguests are ready for their time in the spotlight.
As previously reported by Tea on TV, the BB28 cast is ready to go. And the season premiere debuts on Thursday, July 9 at 8/7c on CBS.
This article contains some mild spoilers, so only read ahead if you want to know some specifics about Big Brother 28, Episode 1.
Julie Chen Moonves returns as host, and a $750,000 prize is on the line. But that is expected. Let’s dive into the unexpected.
Big Brother 28, Episode 1 preview
Julie will introduce the 14 new houseguests at the top of the show. Nobody from this group has played the game before.
Here’s a link to the BB28 cast and their bios. The group includes a high school counselor, a rocket scientist, and a bartender.
Ready for things to get really interesting?
Rumor has it that the first 14 houseguests will compete in multiple challenges. On the line is Week 1 safety and the chance for reality TV stars to enter the game.
This opens the door for many twists. Likewise, it opens the door of the house to people from various shows.
We won’t spoil who enters the house, but here’s a link to those BB28 cast spoilers. Fans have had mixed reactions to the revelations on social media. Things could certainly get very chaotic.
By now, you may have become upset that so much has happened before the first episode airs on CBS. That has become the norm for the show. Houseguests enter a few days before the premiere, giving the producers time to film lots of content for the first few episodes.
No, the July 9 episode is not live; far from it. Everything has already been pre-taped, including much of what we will see during the first episode of Big Brother: Unlocked on Friday night (July 10).
More from the Big Brother 28 preview
The July 9 episode is 90 minutes, giving plenty of time to introduce the 14 newbies and run through the challenges that could let more people enter the game.
It’s unclear if we will learn who becomes the first Head of Household during this episode. They may hold that back for the Sunday night episode (July 12).
If you want to jump ahead, here’s a link to spoilers about who becomes the first BB28 HOH. It’s an interesting tidbit.
Back in the house, the HOH will reveal Week 1 nominations on Friday, so that won’t be a part of opening night.
But viewers are about to learn how Time Travel plays into the new campaign. Many clues around the house will impact the theme, and it likely plays a part in how reality TV stars could enter the game.
Below is a teaser video with brief introductions to the BB28 cast. Enjoy!
