I looked to see if anyone started a new thread for this year, but I didn’t see one!
We are one week away from the premiere of season 24. House pictures and cast lists should be dropping any day now!
Say bye bye to Love Island, and hello to The Challenge USA, which will premiere right after BB. It will be BB 23 pt 2. The CO will be representing, minus Hannah and Big D, as well as Alissa and Derek X. Angela from 20 will be there as well.
Are you a Challenge viewer? If you have not watched in the past, will you be tuning in now that it is on CBS and has a ton of BB contestants?
I watched The Challenge WAAYYYYY back in the day, when it was still Real World vs Road Rules. I probably stopped watching after a few years, once they started with Fresh Meat, because I didn’t want to see brand new people. I haven’t watched it since.

I was just thinking last night that I should google when the season starts and then I got distracted. Yes! Can't wait to get mad every week. I know the CO ended up frustrating us with the dudes taking over and screwing over the ladies but it was still such an amazing thing to witness. Can this season top it? I feel like no, but hopefully we don't have a terrible season anyway.
I don't watch the challenge or any other reality TV really (mostly because it all infuriates me) so I'm just here for BB.

Very excited for both BB and The Challenge USA. I started watching the challenge in college starting with Battle of the Sexes I think. I started watching BB around the same time, so the worlds colliding is a good time for me.

I've gotten into challenge some years and the totally skipped others. I'll probably give this version a chance.

junch817 I don't believe it was her initial plan, but she recovered like the queen she is!

It is so strange to be two days away from the premiere and still not know anything about the season!

It is so strange to be two days away from the premiere and still not know anything about the season! Last year they had a couple last minute changes because of Covid, so I guess they are trying to avoid that. But I'm just ready for it to start!

Lots of press today from Julie teasing all the new twists and "unexpected" happenings:
However, Moonves doesn't want to talk anymore about the premiere. She wants to talk about what will happen after the premiere. "I think the really big, big, big news is that our first eviction show is going to be like no other eviction show," teases the host. "Because the person who gets evicted may not be who you think." Excuse me? Explain. "It could almost be anyone," Moonves says. "We have new levels of gameplay and twists that the game is certainly not what you think it is this season more than any other. It's our 24th season. We have to really switch it up.
Sooooo, what exactly does that mean? That eviction night will start with traditional nominees, and while the Houseguests are deciding whom to evict, JCM is going to drop a bombshell on them? "Yes, exactly!" replies Moonves. "Expect the unexpected! We have to hand it to [the players]. These people come in. They're experts. They've watched since they were like eight years old. They know the game. We have to do something to keep them on their toes."

Hmmm...interesting. I hope it's not a stupid twist like battle of the block or something.

It sounds like America might get to vote on the guest eviction.

Perhaps this is an UO but for once I want the twist to be "no twists"..... just back to go old fashioned BB playing. Keep the Veto since that's been there for all but 2 seasons but otherwise no other twists. Bring back food comps and make them actually care about being put on slop/have nots.

I know a lot of people liked that twist from Celeb BB with the reverse “Mon Won” thing - while I hated the dumb name, I liked the idea. I can see them doing that again. They also used it in Canada this last season and named it the chain of safety.

I also hate the idea of making it so that noms are safe so now everyone will be scared of nominating a real threat even more than normal 🙄

And play some "how bad do you want it" comps as well. Also the comps where you sabotoge others, so people can see where loyalties lie.

I also miss that casino type comp with the counting items and betting and deciding whether to fold etc.

There are no questions with the cast? That's how we get to judge them!
Oh well, I guess we only have to wait until tomorrow night.
I am guessing Daniel is the Elvis impersonator based on looks and that he's a Vegas performer?
Lots of young 20 somethings again, which is disappointing. A Minnesotan attorney though! Hope he doesn't disappoint so that I can root for him. And then the token "old" guy (47). Guess we'll see what happens. At least 9 of them appear to be POC so I am glad to see that.
