Daily Feeds RecapsDay 2 - Wednesday - July 8, 2026I got a few crumbs from yesterday's premiere taping: there were multiple comps with the 14 rookies, as they've done on recent premieres. Presumably those comps were done in small groups or maybe dwindling brackets? I don't know, but they determined who got first week safety, and they determined or triggered various reality legends to arrive, and which of those legends will stay and play. Yes it sounds chaotic and confusing and I'm sure it will be - again, like premieres for the last few seasons have been. First noms will be Friday, so the post-Unlocked feeds that night should be very active with the usual shock and resentment we love to see (unless our early faves hit the block). Feeds went live on the BB page on P+ web and in the P+ app - well, the splash screen announcing them went live, proving we really are about ready to do this all again. Sadly, we didn't get special pre-season music this year like the classic "Turn It Up" but instead it's the same old tired feeds block song we know so very, very well. And it had some peculiar language: feeds will return in the premiere and feeds will open Friday night. Schrödinger's feeds I guess, as well as a goof tally entry. Interestingly, they've added our five feeds options to the "Live TV" dropdown menu with all the other CBS and P+ shows. Quads aren't working yet, but I'm sure they will soon. I've heard they're working to consolidate their various streaming tech platforms from various decades into something more cohesive for their new empire, and it seems that's underway. What I don't have are links for the east coast airings. We lost Video Brother a few years ago and we lost The TVApp a few weeks ago. If I get any safe and functional links, I'll add them to the left sidebar but as of now, I got nothing. (I use "Live TV" tab in P+ with ad-free plan, and Location Guard extension set to New York. It can be tricky to get configured but once it's set, it's great.) Day 1 - Tuesday - July 7, 2026They did the thing this morning, the big broveal, on Youtube. It's linked for you in Links of the Day down below. And they clarified in the cast press release that the "limited" Youtube feed would indeed be after every episode, regular and Unlocked, so the timezone questions I posed yesterday stand. Julie did the house tour and then they went right to the 14 new hamsters with their job interview/first date perky voices and aspirations to impress. As always, I try not to put too much stock in this stuff because again, job interview/first date personas - when the feeds get underway we see a truer picture of who they are. And we sometimes see how they react to not being the only spotlight in the room which most are used to being, and instead they're now just one of many spotlights. That's a whole new life experience for some of them, and one of the more fascinating aspects of all this, for me. A little later Dalton Ross announced Survivor Rick Devens would be on the show, and Sharon Tharp announced Angela Murray would be back again. We're still missing one who's been as heavily rumored as those two, but they haven't been confirmed by any official sources yet, so I'm not saying who it is out loud until then, even if everyone knows. (Insert OTT Jason Roy "everyone knows" gif here.) By the way, confirmed and official are in italics because apparently A LOT OF PEOPLE need a refresher course in what those words mean, and more importantly, what they don't mean. Also today, the hamsters moved in to begin their summer ordeal which will be life-changing for most of them in ways these sweet summer children can't even fathom yet. If and when I get info about the premiere, twists, HOH, noms, and the rest that I'm allowed to share, I will. Meanwhile, continue to train for our annual marathon which is going to start soon. Pre-season continued - July 6, 2026Pre-season still but not for long, for tomorrow is Day 1 of our new season.We're almost there, Hamsterwatchers. Tomorrow they move in and we'll find out who they are - We're almost there, Hamsterwatchers. Tomorrow we'll get the cast - maybe all of them or maybe just the rookies, I don't know, but I'm Team Rookies all the way this season so I'm looking forward to seeing what we have to work with. I'm expecting thirteen (or fourteen) rookies, one BB vet, and three (or two) from other Paramount shows. That's not an official roster and it's subject to change, of course.  Today they announced the cast reveal is being called Broveal (what is wrong with them?!), and they said video intros will be exclusively on their newly revamped Youtube channel, along with Julie's house tour, starting at 9am PT/noon ET on Tuesday. I've since learned RuPaul's Drag Race does their cast reveals on Youtube and calls them Queen Ruveals, so maybe it's a corporate strategy to associate all their reality properties together. Either way, Broveal just stinks of brojocks and meathead alliances and not too many people out here seemed to like it much. And they announced that feeds will run on that Youtube channel "for limited periods after each episode throughout the summer," starting this Friday at 6pm PT/9pm ET after the first Unlocked. That will be interesting, especially on live Thursdays, when feeds often haven't come back after the shows for many hours in recent seasons. Plus it sounds like westies will have to juggle episodes with feeds, which is always a challenge, especially on Thursdays. Maybe the Youtube feed will only be after Unlocked episodes, but Mike Bloom of RHAP and Parade implied it'd be after Unlocked as well as the regular episodes. Today's press release stressed that feeds will remain on Paramount Plus and Pluto TV as always. They said "24/7" but we know that part's a fib. So stock up the pantry and freezer, catch up what you've put off, rest up, and be ready to roll Tuesday morning when we find out who we'll be spending the next few months with. As always, THANK YOU for sticking with me and reading the site, and/or subscribing to my Patreon, and/or donating to my Ko-fi. I couldn't do this without you and I appreciate you so very much!
