It's been nearly 20 years since Big Brother premiered, and it hasn't changed a bit - and that's a bad thing.
By its own design, Big Brother can't hide behind an edit. Its innovative 24/7 live feeds made the show a novel concept, initially available for free but now requiring a paid subscription to CBS All Access, they've also exposed many deeply offensive moments of prejudice from contestants. When an episode fails to provide the whole story, feed watchers are quick to point out the flaws in the edit, providing real-time clips on sites like Twitter and Reddit. As controversies seem to get more frequent, the show continues to move away from what initially made it compelling. It's hard not to wonder if Big Brother's casting department and producers are vetting people who may hold prejudiced views, or at the very least, even attempting to find a more diverse cast of houseguests.

Hey, fellow Big Brother fans. As we previously reported, the new Big Brother season 20 houseguests actually entered the house a week before the televised premiere date of Wednesday June 27, 2018. So, that means they entered the house yesterday night, and surely enough, some insider information was leaked on Twitter. Season 8 winner Evel Dick commented on a few, important things that took place. He confirmed that no returning houseguests entered the house, and that no one was evicted on the first night. However, production quickly cleared out the crowd. So, it's highly possible that they could've done more stuff after the crowd left. If they did, that would obviously be a surprise since none of it got leaked. Evel Dick wrote, "Ok reports from the #BB20 premiere. 16 new Hg's, no one booted on first episode. No returnees. But they shuttled everyone out really fast afterwards, so they could have done more stuff after everyone left.
