Big Brother is officially back — and it’s bringing some serious heat (and chaos) this summer.
On July 10, CBS kicked off the premiere of Big Brother Season 27, set inside the ultra-suspicious Hotel Mystère. And let’s just say… the twists started rolling in fast — including a masked visitor, a secret accomplice, and, most buzzworthy of all, a mystery 17th houseguest that no one saw coming.
“This person is going to be very polarizing.”
Host Julie Chen Moonves teased the chaos early in an interview with Entertainment Weekly:
“When I found out who the mystery houseguest was, I was shocked. This person is going to cause strong reactions — in both directions.”
That’s right — love or hate, there’s no in-between. Julie even called it “an epic casting decision” and promised this wildcard guest would leave jaws on the floor.
Premiere Night Reactions? Total Mayhem.
Let’s talk about what happened when the 17th guest finally walked through that door.
-
Ava literally froze with her mouth wide open
-
Morgan started flailing her arms in disbelief
-
Zach was so shocked, he vanished from the camera frame
-
Ashley gave a gasp that was pure reality TV gold
In short? It was messy, dramatic, and absolutely perfect for Big Brother.
A Season of Secrets: What’s Hotel Mystère Hiding?
This year’s theme — Hotel Mystère — isn’t just for aesthetics. Julie explained it like this:
“Nothing in the house is what it seems. You might look at a random object and think it’s ordinary… but it’s not. Every single detail could mean something.”
There are hidden clues everywhere, from the artwork to the bunk beds (which apparently look like a luxury 1920s European train car!).
Lesson? Observation is survival.
