Simply as “Love Island USA” prepares to board up its villa for an additional 12 months, the doorways of the “Huge Brother” home are swinging huge open — and your weeknights will not unencumber for some time longer.
Yep, “Huge Brother” is formally again for Season 28, a momentous 12 months that can usher within the CBS actuality competitors’s 1,000th episode. To have fun the milestone, this summer season’s theme is “Huge Brother Time Journey,” which, amongst different issues, guarantees to “information viewers by a season the place historical past is rewritten and something is feasible.”
It stays to be seen simply how a lot enjoyable “Huge Brother” can have right here. Might Marcellas return to make use of that pivotal Energy of Veto as a substitute of leaving himself on the block? Would Paul flip one among his two consecutive finale-night losses to a win? Would possibly Helen not get pushed?! I suppose we’ll see. For now, the present has leaned into its campiest sensibilities and turned the home’s eating room desk right into a time machine, which can make method for the season’s most continuum-breaking moments.
Welcome, CBS actuality icons!
I am going to do my very own Time Journey right here and velocity previous all the same old “BB” premiere pleasantries. Fourteen houseguests transfer in on Thursday, and surgical dental assistant Drew — who in some way rivals Josh Martinez’s quantity within the Diary Room — rapidly theorizes that two extra gamers are but to maneuver in, bringing the full to a extra typical 16. He is proper and he is mistaken: Extra gamers are coming in, however there will probably be three, they usually’re all earlier actuality icons.
Twelve of the unique 14 houseguests get to compete to maintain themselves protected from the primary spherical of nominations. Utilizing the Eating Desk Time Machine, teams of 4 gamers are “despatched” (they stroll exterior) to a few completely different dates within the “previous” (the redecorated yard), the place they play a mini sport that can 1) award security to at least one participant in every sport, and a couple of) carry an aforementioned actuality icon into the home for the summer season.
When all of the competitions are over, pickleball coach Rome, provide chain analyst Chuk, and “RuPaul’s Drag Race” alum Jason have earned security for the week, they usually’ve ushered within the arrivals of “BB26” alum Angela Murray, “Survivor” vet Rick Devens (however simply name him Devens), and multi-season “BB” competitor Rachel Reilly. However wait! Not likely! As a result of when the houseguests are transported again to the Jurassic Interval for the season’s first Head of Family competitors, a dinosaur throws Rachel right into a volcano simply as she’s occurring about being the “Huge Brother” queen, and he or she’s formally out of the sport — a sentence I am going to solely sort when writing about this present. We’re so again, people.
Rachel’s substitute will not be revealed till Friday, on a particular episode of “Huge Brother: Unlocked” (CBS, 8/7c). I will not drop the rumored identify right here for these attempting to stay unspoiled, however “Survivor” followers might need much more to look ahead to this summer season than simply Devens.
