Big Brother: Unlocked adds interactive fan vote for BB28

tvJun 30, 202618392

CBS announced that Big Brother: Unlocked will add an interactive fan vote that could directly affect Big Brother 28 gameplay, with the first Unlocked episode scheduled Friday, July 10 as a 60-minute show. Jerry O'Connell joins Derrick and Taylor as a more permanent panelist for this season of Unlocked, which will also include a live studio audience. The Week 1 broadcast schedule lists a 90-minute premiere on Thursday, July 9, Unlocked on Friday, July 10, a 90-minute Episode 2 on Sunday, July 12, Episode 3 on Wednesday, July 15, and a 60-minute eviction on Thursday, July 16. Posts speculate the vote might insert an alum or a late entrant into the BB28 house, and some note that announcing a fan vote suggests all houseguests are sequestered. Other fans worry the fan vote will give casual viewers outsized influence on the game, while some hope the vote will be a one-off decision such as selecting a twist or power rather than recurring game-changing votes. The immediate consequence is that viewers planning to watch Unlocked on July 10 may gain a direct, possibly decisive role in early BB28 events and casting decisions may shift based on that participation.

Some #bb28 news for you today: Jerry O’Connell officially joins Derrick and Taylor as a more permanent panelist for this season of #BBUnlocked. The show will not only include a live studio audience, but an interactive fan vote that will impact the game.

last time Unlocked had a viewer vote, it was for Rachel to get slimed - that's about as far as viewers should be allowed to impact the game

God dang it. We don’t need fans to impact the game.

I’m cautiously optimistic with these changes

I mean, one could argue that a vote that sends *any* kind of gift or punishment or entertainment into the house “impacts the game” because they’ll all read into it and make decisions one way or another. Especially if it’s targeted and/or requires picking other houseguests to tag along.

Do we have a schedule for it? Will it still be bi-weekly or more frequent?

so Derrick L is on unlocked which makes me more suspicious of a DX return because they mixed up their names on promo ✨ #bb28

interactive fan vote that will impact the game…..the door is staying locked #bbunlocked

Tengo miedo (I'm scared). My fear is they'll have the public vote on who gets evicted; with the way they edit episodes (complete nightmare).

NO NO VIEWER VOTING #BB28

something slimy served in an ashtray2

imagine booking the failed love boat host when they could have given this role to Tamar Braxton #BB28

Lucifer Pearl2

I hope they do NOT allow votes to change. Casual viewers watching CBS’ bias edits literally ruin the whole point of the game.

#BB28 Y’all better watch #BBUnlocked or the casuals will control every vote. 😭😭 Exited to see Taylor back/Jerry joining! 🖤

Already they've pissed me off #bb28

3 90 minute episodes, this is diabolical! #bb28

the 90 minute episodes are going to be the death of me... why do they think we want that? #bb28

“60-minute eviction episode” if they ever need an episode with more time, it’s this one.

sweet lauren k4

full swing pretty much immediately let me go into hibernation before the season starts lol. my sleep schedule isn’t ready😭

Rob2

Have we confirmed the Blockbuster is back? I know they did it before but 60 mins for the first blockbuster when we have a bunch of 90 minute slots seems unwise. #BB28

@bigbroaccess.bsky.social

RTV Fan made a good point. If they’re announcing a vote, likely means everyone is sequestered. So you guys can stop worrying about some people 😆. #bb28 #bbsky

It might be the first year I fully quit watching feeds.... Why put this evil into the universe??

Ok, I do not like either one of them at all, but I would enjoy them torturing each other for a few days. But they have to be early boots for my mental health.

If it is fan votes like that, where you can see it happen live in the house, that'd be good. But game-changing votes...nah

big time RTV fan

@bigtimertvfan.bsky.social

Fan vote that impacts the game = casuals vote carries more weight. I’m worried that they’ll do more of these throughout the season and the casuals favorite will continue to be in contention for the vote each week ala Elissa (until they change it up on the casuals) #bb28

@bbgossip.bsky.social

The ONLY time I like Fan votes is when CBS (intentionally?) screws them up. I may have been one of those encouraging the masses.... #BB15 #BB28

A tweet from BB15 where I encouraged people to vote for Elissa for MVP when in reality it was to be nominated

They're trying to get people to watch unlocked by throwing the fan vote there

@sapphoazula.bsky.social

hopefully it’s just voting someone in that’s kind of a one and done. hopefully we don’t get regular fan votes or advantage votes i don’t like that at all just let the game play out

“CBS teases that the first episode ‘launches a new interactive fan vote that will have a major impact on the game.’” Ugh. We already know the types of people/players the “fans” love — just look at those recently voted fan favorites. This part is going to suck. #BB28 #BBSky
