“I’m So Mad”: Big Brother Fans Outraged After Learning When Live Feeds Will Start For BB27

Big Brother 27 is just around the corner, but don’t expect the live feeds to start right after the show’s premiere, as the start date has been delayed to fans’ irritation. The Big Brother 27 premiere on Thursday, July 10 may be getting viewers excited, but it’s been a short-lived sense of happiness for those who indulge in the BB live feeds.

The live feeds, a staple of many Big Brother viewers’ experiences, give fans the ability to watch the houseguests in real time. As many are live feed viewers, they expect the BB live feeds to begin quickly after the premiere. This season, it was announced (via X) that the Big Brother live feeds will begin on July 13, well after the houseguests move in.

Fans are outraged at the idea that the houseguests will have been in the house for five days without access to the feeds. “I’m genuinely so mad,” @laurenleti on X shared. “That is such a waste and makes no sense.” Another X user, @maximusmom13, explained, “The first 48 hours of feeds are crucial in knowing who works with who & why!”

What Delayed Live Feed Start Date Means For Big Brother 27

Crucial Game Information May Be Missed

While the Big Brother live feeds have always had differing start dates, the majority of the last seasons have seen the live feeds begin within two or three days of the houseguests moving into the BB house. While there’s almost always a delay on the feeds unless the houseguests move in live during the premiere, Big Brother doesn’t typically delay the feeds so long.

Some have speculated that the live feeds are accommodating Big Brother’s schedule, which for the last few seasons has revolved around a two-night premiere event that aired episodes back to back. This season, Big Brother has a 90-minute premiere on Thursday, followed by a second episode on Sunday, July 13. Many believe the live feeds hinged on that second episode.

Regardless, the delay will impact viewers’ experience all season long as the majority of the first week of the houseguests’ season will be thoroughly edited within the episodes. Viewers will miss out on the initial alliances forming in the game, any fights or drama that take place early in the season, and any showmances that begin to blossom in the first week.

Our Take On Big Brother 27 Delaying Live Feed Start Date

It’s A Tough Hit, But Will Resolve Over Time

Though the Big Brother 27 live feeds starting nearly a week after the houseguests enter the house, which happens on Tuesday, July 8 ahead of the July 10 premiere, is a blow to the viewers, it should pan out throughout the season. Though Big Brother fans will miss pivotal information in the first week of the game, live feed viewers will be able to regroup.

Despite knowing that there will be information viewers simply don’t have access to, Big Brother fans should be able to cope with the loss as the rest of the season continues. While BB episodes can be edited and unreliable, some are hopeful they’ll make up the difference with the episodes, which will hopefully reveal the drama of Big Brother 27’s first week.
