‘Big Brother’ Season 15: House And Twists Revealed

BIG BROTHER

‘Big Brother” upcoming season premieres soon, and CBS has released pictures of the “modern chic” house.

Also revealed Wednesday, are the new twist of the summer. The first twist of the season is, instead of the norm of two Houseguests being nominated each week for eviction, three contestants will be nominated during this season.

In addition, the second twist will allow fans to vote for the Houseguest, who “they feel is playing the best game.” The Houeguest with the most votes will be the Big Brother MVP of the week.

“The Big Brother MVP will force the houseguests to rethink their strategies. With America rewarding good game play, it doesn’t pay to be a floater this summer,” said Allison Grodner and Rich Meehan, Executive Producers of the reality series in a statement.

These twists are sure going to change the game this season.

“Big Brother” premieres June 26 at 8/7 on CBS. The series airs Sundays 8/7, Tuesdays 9/8.
