Big Brother 27 cast update provided

A Big Brother 27 cast update was shared on social media this week.

It wasn’t the best news, but at least it was an update.

It’s also possible that it was simply another way to tease the fans and create some artificial buzz.

At least we’re talking about Big Brother again. That’s a significant development as the summer months get underway.

An update on the Big Brother 27 cast

A new social media post claimed that the producers had not selected the Big Brother 27 cast by Wednesday night (July 25).

It seemed a bit odd, given that the season premiere arrives on Thursday, July 10. But it could also mean we are working toward a live move-in.

“BB Interns reporting live outside the #BigBrother house,” the post began.

“We have seen a cloud of black smoke coming out of the house, confirming that the BB Producers have yet to pick their #BB27 cast,” the post continued.

Does this mean they are down to 20ish candidates before making the final cuts?

“This means they will be in the BB house for the next 24 hours, in hopes that they’ll make their final decision on who they want as their full #cast. Stay tuned as we continue this full coverage of this exciting moment, as the BB #Conclave continues,” it finished.

Later, someone returned to the post to leave a comment on behalf of the production team.

“We will try again tomorrow,” it read.

So were they only joking around? Or had the BB27 cast not been selected by July 25? Leave your thoughts in a comment below!

A fun Big Brother season is on the way

As a reminder, the BB27 star date is July 10. That’s when the first episode — a 90-minute premiere — debuts on CBS.

Here’s the July BB27 episode schedule. Fans will receive a wealth of early content as the new players begin competing for the cash prize.

Everyone on the BB27 cast is new to the game, so many fresh faces are walking through the front door in a few weeks.
