Big Brother 27 Opens With Returning Alum and Twists

Big Brother 27 has launched on CBS with a diverse cast that, for the first time in several seasons, includes both new contestants and a returning notable alum. The season began with Kelly winning the BB Blockbuster challenge and saving herself, which led to Zae becoming the first houseguest evicted by a 9-5 vote. Weather disruptions caused broadcast delays in certain regions during the premiere. CBS has also confirmed that stars from this season will appear in The Amazing Race 38, set for fall 2025. The show continues to spark discussion over its controversial history, particularly referencing the infamous 2013 season. Host Julie Chen Moonves remains a prominent presence, teasing upcoming surprises for viewers.
