Big Brother 28: First HOH Winner and Nominations and Three New Housemates Revealed
Big Brother Season 28 begins on Thursday, and it is said that we received a complete announcement of the characters from Julie Chen Moonves in a strange program called YouTube Broveal, but by doing the math, it was easy to see that it was not the end of it.
Obviously, 14 house guests are too few. It starts with Big Brother 14 in 2012, there are always 16 or 17 guests to start with. So, apparently doing the math there are at least two confirmed additions, but now we know there are three up for grabs.
Also, it looks like they are taking this time travel thing seriously because it is reported that the HOH and nominees are already in place. Let's catch what's going on BB28 in the house because the game is on.
Big Brother 28: Who's Starring In Summer 2026?
First, let's talk about who's playing. We got 13 young players and one senior player from Broveal. 57-year-old LaTrice “Lala” Verrett is pushing 60. And he looks great. I want to know her skin care brand.
At the other end of the spectrum is Drew Campbell, a 22-year-old dental assistant. I like that you talked about being nice to people and talking while the oral surgeon is working on them. Have you ever tried to talk in the dentist's office with a dam in your mouth?
Then there's the guy who gives off Weird Al Yankovic vibes. That's Barrett Pfeiffer, jumbotron engineer, AKA an AV expert on steroids. Then there's Rocket Scientist Mallory Aurichio in her giant glasses and red t-shirt who looks like an alien. The Big Bang Theory.
But on her Insta, she's the party chick. She may be showing off her booty with a thong rather than wearing it as they had dressed her. Production nonsense.
BB 28: New Players added to the roster
We also have business games manager Melody Morris. He actually graduated from journalism school. But you work in one of those places where you can go and play a simulated game. There is one on the boardwalk near me. They are beautiful. You are working for this product Game Show War.
We also have Lyric Medeiros, a lawyer, who will lie and say he is a guest artist. Then we have Kamu Kirk, the MMA dude and Jason de Puy, the drag queen. By the way, the Broveal thing that CBS is doing seems like a hat tip to it RuPaul's Drag Race who also announce their characters on YouTube in a live streaming program called “Ruveal”.
Chuk Anyanwu, the handsome cowboy from Dallas is adorable. She went to Texas Women's University which is without a name put together. I have much higher hopes for Chuk than those Big Brother 27's creeper cowboy Riley. We also got Ashley Trail the bartender.
There's Haley Thogmartin the telemedicine chick and Rome Seymour, the soccer coach. I enjoy soccer, but I would never hire a coach. I can hit a whiffle ball myself thanks.
Taylor Brown is a Deerfield Beach school counselor. It's a great place for Boca Raton. I love his vibe. And Yash Patel from Jersey is hoping to take home a wife. It seemed like almost everyone who was acting wanted a show.
Big Brother 28: A Few Familiar Faces from CBS Shows
Okay, so those new ones. Then we get one Big Brother alum and two A survivor scholars. On the other hand, i Big Brother the returning player is not Paul Abrahamian. Instead, it's the queen of charcuterie herself, Angela Murray. I hope they shut off the water in the Diary Room in preparation for his flood of tears.
And since A survivorwe got two new arrivals Survivor 50. Another is Rick Devens. You are very sweet. If you don't look A survivorhe pulled the trigger last season hiding a fake community idol near a bar in the tribal council area.
And then a few tribal councils later, Devens was about to be voted out, and he faked it like he got it on the trail. He also risked his game in Mr. Beast twist. He flipped a coin that threatened his elimination but instead, he doubled it Survivor 50 winners receive $2 million.
Another one A survivor alum we heard is playing Dee Valladares. He won Survivor 45 and played Survivor 50but was eliminated without a win. Dee has also played The challenge. He is a good physical competitor.
Dee is 29, Rick is 42, Angela is 53. So, that brings us to three middle-aged players, a couple in their 30s, and a bunch of houseguests in their 20s, all looking to get lucky in the house. So, this could be the show season we've ever had Big Brother.
Big Changes and Shakeups in BB28
Now, let's talk about some of the things they change. Usually, we get pictures and bios before, but this Broveal was something new. And Julie Chen said they are shaking things up. We will see a milestone episode of 1,000 soon. There are 975 episodes to the season.
And with 90-minute episodes on Wednesdays throughout the season, there's plenty to see BB28. The debut on Thursday, July 9 is also 90 minutes. It's open returns this Friday with Jerry O'Connell as usual.
I Big Brother Blockbuster is back in the game again BB28. And it looks like the guests are already in and playing the game. Therefore, Thursday's episode will be pre-recorded from the entry that has already taken place.
It's open on friday it will be diving A survivor Castaway revealed once Big Brother alum who plays the game. And the live feed will be up on Friday night after that It's open. There are certain aspects of fan voting that affect the gameplay that CBS apparently uses to drive viewers to this bonus content.
Big Brother 28: HOH and Nominees Locked?
They are also using YouTube heavily this season with access to free but limited post-show live feeds. Just enough to drive people to sign up for Paramount Plus. As for the early leaks, take what I have to say with a grain of salt.
It is said, the first HOH and the nominees may have been locked up. Word is that Mallory Aurichio, the party girl/rocket scientist, is the first HOH winner. And the discussion is that he nominated MMA fighter Kamu Kirk and pickleball player Rome Seymour.
The HOH and nomination stuff is somewhat speculative, but hey, I like to share leaks, so make of that what you will. Don't miss it BB28 premieres Thursday! It wouldn't be summer outside Big Brother.
