So, we have to sit through their reminiscences before we get a sneak peak at the house? When will they announce the cast, the day before the “Special”?

Strikes are why all of broadcast TV is reality and game shows now.
The only way it would affect BB is that they probably can't hire people like "Yelling Guy" to come in the house. And if they have a movie promo tied into the challenge, the stars probably can't tape a message to the HGs if they haven't done it already...

Sharon Tharp writes about BB for Us Weekly. She seems to get the scoop before others. And she's more reliable than a Spoiler(Gender) account...

Yay! However, I read today that actors are planning to joining the strike in support of writers. I have no idea if that will affect things though....hope not. Do reality TV houseguests have to join SAG? No. I do believe this will mean more reality tv. Hopefully....more Big Brother. I'm not sure if I'm excited for this Anniversary special or not. There are definitely some people I never wanted to see again Agreed!

It feels so strange having to still scroll down to the bottom to view the BB threads It STILL doesn't feel like summer to me

I know I'm ready for a new banner, I'm tired of looking at the old cast.

CBS released its fall schedule. Big Brother will get batted around a lot in September...
It will start out with the usual Sunday (noms), Wednesday (veto), Thursday (live eviction) schedule.
Starting in September, Survivor and Amazing Race will air 90-minute episodes on Wednesdays, and BB's Wed. show will move to Tuesday.
Also, when football starts on Sundays, BB's Sunday episode will get bumped to 10PM ET.
And I'm betting CBS will tinker with this even more later on, depending on how the strike goes...

Well, I am glad to know for certain that Amazing Race is back in their slot. I abandoned Survivor years ago, but, maybe I will pick it up again. I'm ok with Tuesday shift for BB, because who knows if there will be anything else to watch then. But, why not just make Tuesday the time slot from the start? Sunday BB episode has always been watched the following day for me, if at all; It's usually a rehash of what I already know. Sunday, PBS Masterpiece usually is priority in our household but, who knows if their scheduling will change too. I don't know. Maybe I will be willing to just take what I can get by then.

The PBS Masterpieces are usually British, so you should be good. Or are the Brits also on strike?

I just wish they'd make it a rule that a winner cant win AFP, also. Wish they'd give that title to someone other than the winner. A lot of seasons, the person that won was a favorite, but I still think AFP should go to someone else.

I haven't really been keeping up with all the rumors and pre-season drama, but word is spoiler girl spoiled some information about some of the houseguests and that is the reason for the alternates. Now, this pop up on twitter...

Nah, Spoiler Girl was still tweeting away this morning. I hate BB Twitter, too much drama and stupidity. And leave it to BB to have a 25th anniversary show when it started 23 years ago.

I think the houseguest was the person who got into trouble. Spoiler girl also implied she (Hg) was intolerant of others views and it got her removed. We don’t need racist or bigots stirring up hatred.

It's harder to cast a cross-section of America without running into those than it was 23 years ago...

Omg, I have been saying this same thing It's NOT 25 years! Only the true BBer's know this And yes, spoilergirl is full on drama, but I just wanted to note that it's being said that it's because of her that there were replacements.

They had a winter BB one year, I think it was due to a Writers Strike….was that back in 2007? Anyway, we had two in one year. I remember when they once said Reality TV was just a fad, and wouldn’t last.

We wouldn't have had the Kent/Bunky friendship if they hadn't cast a proclaimed homophobe back then...now they wouldn't dare for fear of upsetting the cancel clowns on social media. Sometimes people just need exposure to things they know nothing about, and that doesn't happen when they cast a bunch of groupthink 20-somethings. But anyway. We should be getting house pics soon, I hope?

Oh they still cast homophobes and bigots nowadays. It's just that today's bigoted HGs never seem to have a moment of enlightenment like Kent did. They just try to play the victim while BB tries to pretend they're not there in the highlight shows.

I agree waywyrd. But, not all of candidates end up growing during the season. I remember one season where the HG left just as bigoted as they arrived. Plus, Last season created such a stir, that I get them being a little extra cautious. They probably cast the HG in question because of the potential, but something must have happened to have made them decide the candidate would not fit well with this season's HG. Or, spoiler girl is just mistaken. NINE Days till premiere!!!!!
