The new season of Big Brother is quickly approaching, “But First” there are still some very important events to take care of as we prepare for a new cast to enter our favorite reality house on television.
Big Brother 16 will again have an early premiere for its summer season with a Wednesday, June 25, 2014 start date when we’ll see a new batch of HouseGuests enter the Thunderdome for 90+ days and compete to win the half-million dollars.
While the Feeds Early Bird sale kicked off in May the real party got started this week when CBS launched its preseason content on Wednesday. Fans now have access to subscriber-only video content and live chats to keep them entertained.
Add on top of that Media Day taking place today with members of the press and CBS affiliates (watch for the odd Xfinity HG) enter the newly redesigned Big Brother house and compete in a compressed round of games and events. We know Rachel Reilly has returned to play that mini-game this season (NOT as a BB16 HG), but we can’t wait to see who else joins her. Could we see Jon Pardy, winner of Big Brother Canada, show up as well? Scratch that. Jon will not be at Media Day.
The next big event after that will be cast interviews. And yes, I’m going back in to meet the BB16 cast and bring you our exclusive interviews again this season. Find out here on how you can help me with our interviews this year. Your support and input are very important on this one.
Here’s the quick rundown on what’s ahead of us as we approach the new season.

The feeds come on at 12:00 AM Pacific time??? Really? Thought they came on at 9:00PST
It’s 12AM ET. That’s a typo. Says right next to it “9PM BBT” which is 9PM PT.
Thank God!!! I was SO not looking forward to staying up until 3:00AM, but I was going to
Soooooo when will we see house pics?
Not yet. CBS usually surprises us with those. I have an idea, but nothing for sure yet.
I know the theory of returning players with loved ones has been thrown around but it seems like they’re confirming it by uploading on the live feeds website an episode from all stars where Will is evicted and the episode from BB5 where twins are revealed.
I so hope you are right about when the livefeeds start, Matthew. But when I click on help on CBS live feeds site, this is the answer given for when the feeds start (I copied and pasted so I would type it incorrectly):
“When will the Big Brother Live Feeds begin? The Big Brother Live Feeds Season 16 will start on June 26, 2014 at 10:00 pm (PT).”
Do you think that’s a typo on their part and they meant to say June 25 instead of June 26th? If it’s not, then the feeds won’t be on until the second night (June 26th at 10:00 pm PT translates to June 27 1:00 am ET, right?) Thanks in advance for letting us know the real time!
SO YA’LL DIDNT PICK ME -AGAIN- WELL UR LOST-U JUST DONT KNOW WHAT UR MISSING
