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 sounds a lot like what they had in Big Brother Canada this past season with the "Twistos Twists" in which the fans voted from two options. It included a Coup d'Etat and bringing back one of the first four evicted. It did make the game more exciting, but it wasn't fair in many ways.

I was thinking the same thing (wish they could've copied the BBCAN house too). So many players got screwed.

I hate that shite. They're bringing in YouTube 'celebrities' now?

For fricks sake. Grab 14 random joes off the street and lock them in a house. Roll tape. Profit.

I'm really kind of tired of twists. Just need a good cast and let them play the game the way it's supposed to be played.

This twist isn't horrible though so I can deal with it

So they're going to cast a mole but not have him enter the house at the same time as everyone else?

A new twist and "surprise" house guest every week is fricking stupid

did jeff know about him/her? he didn't push when he/she kept dropping subtle hints about it. it seems like an interviewer would've tried to push a little harder

Jeff isn't a journalist. He asks the questions CBS gives him to ask

Well, the point is that they are controlled by us, i think its a great idea.

I still think it sucks. It completely goes against the premise that I hope for the show; just a bunch of random people strategizing against each other. When you do some retarded twitter poll like "Hey America! What do you want the mole to do tomorrow? A) Fart in Audrey's face B) Eat all the candy bars" it goes against that. I couldn't give the sliiiiiightest frick what America wants the damn mole to do. And why is there a mole!? If the producers/america are purposely altering the outcome of the game (which is what happens, since obviously the HG will react based on what's happening), it's essentially just like playing the Sims. I don't want control over the house. I don't want to be involved in any way. I just want to sit back and watch their wheels turn, see how they interact with others, see the gameplans and strategies they come up with, etc.

btw GEAUX, I've started the BB season long thread about the last 4 years now, but your first few posts in the thread are so, so much better and more informative than anything I've done I decided to let it slide
