CBS has just announced one of the “Big Brother 15” twists for this season with even more details. Earlier this week we heard Julie Chen tell viewers America would have more influence than ever on the game. Now we know what that influence will be.
Starting June 20th, the audience will cast weekly votes online for the HG they think is playing the best game that week. The winner of the public vote will become the “Big Brother MVP” of the week and receive a special power which has yet to be defined.
With the voting starting tomorrow (Thursday) that means you’ll have to base your first round of voting on just the preseason interviews and initial impressions of who deserves your support. Our Big Brother 15 cast interviews will help you do just that.
Once the season gets rolling you’ll be able to vote based on gameplay and that’s where the “no floater summer” twist comes in to play.
“The Big Brother MVP will force the houseguests to rethink their strategies. With America rewarding good game play, it doesn’t pay to be a floater this summer,” said Allison Grodner and Rich Meehan, Executive Producers of BIG BROTHER.
What do you think of production’s plan? It’s hard to say without knowing what the MVP position earns the HG and it’s also impossible to say viewers will vote for the best game play. We’ll be able to vote based on whatever criteria we want, but that’s okay.
I already know who I’ll be voting to support ahead of the Big Brother 15 premiere next week on June 26th and soon you’ll be able to as well. Get ready!

i think its a great idea
production will pick the mvp regardless of the vote…
I do like that the viewers will have an input, but….I do hope the House Guests don’t play to the viewers and not off each other. I can not wait till the show starts…what with Survivors and Amazing race done…YEA!
Viewers should be smart enough to know if the HG’s, upon knowing of the twist, are trying to court them to get votes in the live feeds alone or not.
This is increasinly becoming a very interesting season indeed. :)
I hope the houseguests are all new. No holdovers from previous years.
I like it. It should add a little something to the game. On the other hand, it could get a little weird if the same HG gets MVP over and over (unless we have to choose a different HG from the previous weeks winner). Also, I would think the other HGs would want to evict the MVP each week seeing as he/she is obviously playing a good game and is therefore a threat.
production will pick the mvp regardless of the vote…
Unless you’re voting through an online poll on their website and no longer through texting.
What’s gonna make all the houseguests want the special power? The floaters will just think it’ll put a target on them, and they won’t care if America votes for them or not. It’s not gonna change anything.
It’s going to be really lame when a bible thumper player’s family has their mega-church launch a national campaign among people who don’t even watch the show and they win MVP every week. Either that, or a write-in campaign gives it to Jeff Schroeder every week, lol.
Pure awesomeness is a whole NEW cast with 3 hg’s getting nominated(at least to start)! Also have the MVP will really change how most houseguests just sit back and try and blend into the woodwork-it will mean ALOT more game talk, more strategy and more DRAMA and that’s what makes great pure awesome Big Brother! Bring it on and bring on the HG’s profiles already, lol!
I would never use superpass again sooooooo many problem I’m sure it will be better with cbs
This could work it really depends on how the votes come in. Hope everyone thinks about their vote to make the best and fairest game possible. We do not want another shelley or Dan, or Ian.
If you watch the house tour with Julie, she clearly states that the couch has something to do with the twist. Later she is describing the twist and says “America will play a roll in nominations”. In my opinion The MVP chooses the 3rd nom.
Anyone else think this will be Russell Hantz as the survivor player and the MVP is the ace in the hole to keep him on the show. Kinda like how they had redemption island to try to keep him on survivor the last time.
Thats a great idea! This seasons definitely gonna be interesting thats for sure! Lovebb!!! :-D <3
Everyone Vote for Jeremy for MVP!!!!!!!
:)
