The Big Brother spoilers are out on the major twist for season 17! The Big Brother 17 twist will involve a surprise guest popping up each week to ‘takeover’ the game. The Big Brother Takeover will start premiere week with two guest appearances, each of them with their own special twist to add to the game.
This twist makes sense with some of the rumors about returning Houseguests like last season’s Big Brother winner Derrick Levasseur showing up this season. We are guessing we will be seeing quite a few past Big Brother cast members appearing to throw new twists in each week.
CBS Press Release
BIG BROTHER announces this summer’s exciting new twist, “BB Takeover,” featuring weekly surprise guests who will unleash new twists into the game each and every week. The season’s special two-night premiere airs Wednesday, June 24 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) and Thursday, June 25 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. In addition, Houseguests this season will live in a modern steel beach house that features a towering Sky Bridge.
This summer’s “BB Takeover” twist will feature a surprise guest each week who will appear on the show to announce a new twist into the game. Expecting the unexpected will be taken to new heights as Houseguests attempt to stay in the game amid the ever-changing twists that shake up life inside the house on a weekly basis. A special guest will appear on each night of the two-night premiere and reveal twists that could affect the cast and viewers.
“This is going to be the biggest BIG BROTHER ever! Surprise guests, twists every week all summer long and, of course, Zingbot!” said Executive Producer Rich Meehan. “But the Houseguests better keep their focus, because BIG BROTHER is all about relationships. Trust me, with all the twists and turns, those bonds will be more important than ever, because at the end of the week, it’s your housemates that send you packing on eviction night.”
This twist makes sense with some of the rumors about returning Houseguests like last season’s Big Brother winner Derrick Levasseur showing up this season. We are guessing we will be seeing quite a few past Big Brother cast members appearing to throw new twists in each week.
Probably there will also be other CBS alumni from various reality TV shows and other network productions. Maybe that rumor about Halle Berry (starring in CBS’ Extant) presenting some kind of challenge to this season’s Houseguests via video will turn out to be true.
So this basically takes the whole “twist after twisted twist” to a whole new level this season. Guess any hope we had of having a good old ‘vanilla’ game with a cast of newbies just went right out the window.
We are still wondering about that whole 14 Houseguests and 16 Memory Wall and dining table place settings though. Especially considering it is such a long season again… Something funky going on there.
