Is It A Good Idea For Big Brother 26 To Delay Live Feeds?
In recent seasons,Big Brotherhad live move-ins on premiere night. However, during old schoolBig Brother, this wasn’t the case. There are advantages and disadvantages to the feeds being delayed due to a pre-taped premiere. On the one hand, the competitions could be longer and more challenging if they weren’t filmed live. However, the lack of live feeds leaves viewers to piece together what happened when the cameras were off.Those first few days of gameplay are crucial, and Cory is right that not seeing them play out live on the feeds would be detrimental to the game.
IfBig Brotherdidn’t include viewers in the game by allowing them to vote for houseguests to earn powers and privileges, then it wouldn’t matter if the live feeds were delayed. However,it’s unfair for the houseguests to have the beginnings of their stories told by the producers, who are notorious for manipulating things in the CBS episodes to fit their narrative. Cory makes a good point about how much viewers would’ve missed iftheBig Brother 25live feedswould’ve been delayed. Viewers need the whole unbiased story in order to make good voting decisions.
Big Brother 26has a lot of expectations, but it already seems to be starting off on the wrong foot for viewers with this rumor about the live feeds being postponed. Hopefully, this won’t happen, and there will be a live move-in like in recent years. It’s so exciting to see the unedited reactions of the houseguests as they enter the house for the first time.TheBig Brother 26live feeds must begin on night onein order to tell the whole story.
Big Brother 26premieres on Wednesday, July 17 at 9 p.m. EDT on CBS.
