No, the twist (or nine) nor the cast have been revealed yet, but the thread was worth creating now for one reason. HD BROADCASTS FINALLYThe show is set to premier in a few weeks. Same rules will apply to this thread as the previous ones. If you're talking live feeds or anything in general that hasn't been shown on the TV show yet, put it under a spoiler tag. I ask every season if we still need to do this, and inevitably one or two posters still only watch the TV show. So spoiler tags for all yet to be seen footage.

There was no excuse for why this show hadn't been in HD for the last 3-4 years. I also think they're losing out on a ton of money by not releasing season sets.
Anyway, the season is earlier than usual no? I read this might be a relatives season, i.e. Frank and Sid Vicious, Rachel and her sister, etc.

- FINALLY in HD, but of course After Dark airs on TVGN, which isn't an HD channel on DirecTV. So f*** me, right? - I'm fairly certain this is going to be the first year I buy the live feeds. - There's basically no chance this season can be as bad as last season, so at least there's that. - With last year's all-new group of racists, homophobes, sexists, and all-around bad people, you have to feel like there's a very small chance we get another all new cast this year. Fully expecting returning players.
I get so excited for Big Brother every year. It's my favorite competition show by far, and I get completely invested in it, but last year's debacle killed me. It made me feel bad to be a fan of the show. I hope to god we don't get another Big Brother 15 (or Big Brother 9 for that matter).

I like big brother but I much prefer the game of survivor. I just feel that Big Brother has LOADS more of production interference to protect favorites, and I don't like how only two people are at risk for being eliminated per vote. It seems like the stronger deserving players are never protected.

Man I have been a huge fan since BB6 but after the last couple of yrs I'm starting to lose interest. The production rigging turns me off so bad I tuned out for at least ten episodes each of the last two seasons

The production rigging for favorites has gone on since All Stars and Janelle's sketchy comp wins. I still think it's a fun show to watch if you view it like the WWE/Harlem Globetrotters of reality competition shows. Even then despite the riggage you still had people like Andy and Hayden who were so on top of the house they would have won no matter what tom foolery production pulled. . It's also interesting cause it's the only show because of the live feeds where you can actually compare and contrast what is actually going on to how people are edited.

CBS loved Janelle so much, when she couldn't win after two throws in the house they created a cash prize for her. She was mean, she was catty and frankly her and her whole group were bullies. Kasar getting bounced twice then Janelle following his butt are the only reasons I didn't quit right then

Speaking of Janelle, I don't know if this was added recently or not, but CBS has the full All-Stars season up on cbs.com now.

Christ, it's like Survivor gets progressively better while Big Brother gets progressively shittier.

Why do you try to make me hate shows I like, CBS? Ok, that is that. After quitting a quarter of the way thru last yr's dreadful(in my opinion) and offensive cast, I quit. I'm not watching this year. I'll pop in and read and if you guys convince me, perhaps I'll try it. But for the moment I hate the concept and am not interested.

Having 2 HOH's could really suck. This years version of the Quack Pack, or whatever McCae/Amanda's group was called last season could have both HOH spots and completely run the train on everyone else.

I just found out that one of the people competing this season is actually someone I went to high school with (Nicole). Guess that means I'll probably be watching to see how she does.

The four nominees twist is just too much. If you want to have 2 HOHs, just have them each nominate one person. That'd make 1000000% more sense.
Still going through the new cast bios and interviews, but Ariane Grande's brother seems like he's going to get old very quickly.

Oddly enough, returning players would have probably kept me watching. But after BB15 and after all these TWISTS FOR THE SAKE OF A TWIST and all these horrendously fake, scripted, poorly-acted diary room confessionals...yeah I think I'm done with Big Brother.
