The Big Brother Jury held their round table debate last night as they tried to decide who will win Big Brother 16 and here is your first look thanks to some awesome photos shared by BB Insider.
The photos show the set up as Big Brother production staged the scene and used stand-ins for all the Houseguests. They could have at least given Zach’s stand-in a pink hat! But no.
Tonight’s special episode might feature this segment which would require some really quick turn around considering it just happened, but they might be able to do it. At least I hope they do.
No word on who hosted the session, but I wouldn’t be surprised for Dr. Will’s return or maybe another Dan visit. Of course they’ve also got Jeff on retainer so that wouldn’t be a shocker either.
Interesting thing about these photos is they reveal where the Jury round table debate took place this season. I would have assumed they were at the Jury House. Nope. They’re on the CBS studio lot right around the corner from Studio 18, the home of Big Brother. Random, but I thought it was noteworthy. Yes, they have oddly out of place regular neighborhood style homes right in the middle of the lot.

Those poor neighbors. What must they think?
OOPs just reread it. Its on the lot.It looks so real
Haha, no problem. I know, it really looks just like a regular neighborhood! If you look closely in the top pic you can see the BB studio and backyard’s high walls.
I hope they didn’t disturb Mr. & Mrs. Cleaver, that is the Beaver’s house in the background. Leave it to Beaver for the youngsters who don’t remember.
The Chenbot’s “office” is one of the houses on that street. She’s there when she’s on the lot.
Ahh yes, it did look familiar. That’s pretty neat.
Hi Matt I have 2 questions. First, who or what is the Chenbots house. Second, does the jury members know about team America. Are frankie or Donny allowed to tell them. If so I know who I wouldn’t vote for. Thanks
Chenbot is Julie Chen.
Okay I get the Chen but what about the bot. Dont seem to so uninformed.
A few years ago everyone would say she acted like a robot. It kind of went from there to calling her Chenbot. I think it may have started after the first time the Zingbot was on BB for a POV comp.
I’m not sure which house Chenbot might use as an office.
No, no one knows about Team America until after the finale is over. It could influence Jury decisions so it will not be revealed. TA members are not allowed to reveal it without revoking their earnings, from what we’ve heard.
If you review the episodes when the Team America players are notified you will see that they are told they CAN reveal TA but it is their choice. With 2 of them on the jury it would serve little purpose to expose TA now. However, I guess Frankie could do it thinking it would somehow give him leverage since he said he would be determining the winner of the game.
They can only reveal their OWN involvement in TA. Frankie can’t expose Donny and vice versa.
Thanks for the information. …….
I hope they have some of it tonight because I won’t be home for finale. Got the DVR set. I will be blogging though because I’m taking my tablet with me to airport. Thanks again Matt for all your and Branden’s hard work. Will talk on Survivor Fandom too.
You’re very welcome. See you on Fandom!
I also want to follow on Survivor Fandom, should I just google it?? oh yea I have also loved the comments and commenting with some fine folks on this site, could have done without those that swore to never watch BB again!! lol thanks for all the hard work, loved reading everything you post about Big Brother!!
Awesome! Here’s the link –> http://survivorfandom.com
THANKS so much, cant wait for survivor to start!!
Thanks for sharing these photos! It’s always interesting to see what goes on behind the scenes.
Do the jurors now get sequestered separately?
Not sure what the point would be seeing how they have had more than enough interaction to discuss the outcome of the game. I have to admit I don’t know if they have some ”private time” with production before the cameras start rolling.
Actually I’ve heard they do get sequestered at the very end of their Jury time. Not sure if they do that every season or not.
Looks like the Universal Studios backlot to me – The Leave it Beaver house is there
I assure you it’s the CBS studio lot. I’ve walked that “street” several times. Also you can see the BB house in the background between the trees.
So it looks like the jury house has moved to Despearte housewives!!!! ( that’s the universal studios backlot also used for leave it to beaver, the munsters, episode of buffy the vampire slayer, etc. )
Must just be a similar look. These photos are from the CBS studio lot.
Oh wow it looks exactly identical but I guess you know since you actually went to the big brother house
Yeah, I promise. You can see the green high wall over the tan wall in between the trees? That’s the high wall above & around the backyard. It’s distinct but only if you’d know what you were seeing there.
But also, since it’s an iconic house (Cleavers) it wouldn’t be surprising at all for them to rebuild it elsewhere as well.
Yes, it actually is. :)
I thought the same thing, that house it looks like a Desperate Housewives house!
I would like to go the finale of a BB season. What do I have to do to get tickets if poosible??? A good season with a an interesting group of HGs.
Is the jury house actually on CBS’s lot? Huh?
In past seasons, they had the jury house on top of a high mountaneous area or on some luxury resort. Having the jury session done in Studio City may mean the jury house itself is well within the county.
Ooh, this is the same exact frontyard where Billy and Victoria exchanged their renewal vows on The Young and the Restless. :D
The yellow house and the street at the first photo wasn’t where Desperate Housewives was shot during its run from 2004-12?Since DH was a ABC Studios production that means that the show was shot at a CBS studio?
Lots of TV studios shots their shows on each other’s backlots. :)
