CBS greenlights '24 Hour Millionaire' from Big Brother producers

tvSep 30, 202623280

CBS has greenlit 24 Hour Millionaire, a new unscripted competition series from Big Brother executive producers Allison Grodner and Rich Meehan now in pre-production. The series will be filmed over 24 nonstop hours and pits highly skilled players against one another in nonstop social strategy and physical competitions for a single $1 million prize. Producers describe the format as concentrated social gameplay similar to Big Brother but outside the house. The announcement has already prompted public commentary comparing the $1 million prize to Big Brother seasons that award $750,000 for roughly three months of play and prompted speculation the show could draw contestants from CBS reality alumni.

Big brother is 3 months for $750k. These people are going to get a million for 24 hours? Wild

The fandom is gonna riot when Dee appears on this cast list. I can’t wait. #BB28

We got approved for 1mill for 24 hours, and still can't get a 90 day season of BB there?! 😂 I expect to see all of the BB comp beasts I never want to see again on this show.

90 days: 750k 24 hours: 1mil Make it make sense! #BB28

24 hours for a million but 87 days for 750k? Wtf are we even doing?? #bb28

the cast is going to be 12 dudes heavily invested in bitcoin in the middle of a coke bender

Real talk though, this is too good to pass up for even the most retired of retirees. It’s one day for a chance at a million dollars. We’re going to be seeing a LOT of great talent coming out of the woodwork.

this is such a good interview that i'm kind of taken aback. is julie feeling ok? it's not like her

Big Brother Gossip9

Check out Mike's article! Highlights.... Julie would prefer all newbies but knows its a business.... Dan is NOT hosting the roundtable..... (I wonder if he was supposed to originally 🧐). #bb28

#BB28 #BBSky #BigBrother They actually gave Dan the boot from hosting the roundtable! Hahahaha! 🤣

They really said "Nope. It can't be Dan now." Surprising for the new CBS admin, IMO. Seems like they would have doubled down. #BB28

Tara Teeth (she/her)7

So the roundtable host isn't Dan. Julie says that the host has played before, but I noticed she didn't say the host is a former winner. Hannah Chaddha recently teased that we'd be excited about the roundtable host, and then she walked it back by claiming she doesn't actually know anything about it.

thogging out7

dan is busy “gaming” at a top secret location that’s why he can’t host the round table #bb28

Tiffany7

So Dan was the roundtable host but it was changed to someone that has never hosted before. And Rome and Lyric have an announcement that is not a proposal lol #bb28

Will Weaver vs. ACME 📸6

...is the jury roundtable host Jankie? #BB28

This is how creative the BB execs are. They basically said people love baseball so let’s come up with a complete “new” concept: baseball that only lasts 1 inning! Brilliant! Never been done!! #bb28

3 months for 750,000k but 24 hours for a million. Ok. #bb28

“originally we were going to have Dan Gheesling host the jury roundtable debating the merits of the Final Three. It isn’t him.” Oooh, did Dan tank his chances because of the backlash? I feel like with this being CBS, he wouldn’t have, but 🤷🏻‍♂️. #BB28 #BBSky

@tj98.bsky.social

The drew fans on reddit are now having a breakdown worrying morgan could be hosting the roundtable as if the jury roundtable host actually matters and isn't just being fed lines through a ear piece from production to keep the conversation on track #bb28

We do not know how Rachel would have ended last season because of a HAMSTER WHEEL OF DEATH and she was in a house full of people who did not know her or what she was like in her seasons but sure, Julie. Keep saying you don’t watch your show. #BB28

This actually pisses me off! 😂☠️ Folks spend an agonizing THREE MONTHS on their parking lot for Big Brother and deal with their nonsensical, stupid, unfair twists & bullshit for only $750k in comparison, and before that (just a mere 6 yrs ago) $500k. I wish I could say good for them, but no! #BB28
