Host Julie Chen Moonves Announced Big Brother 27

We will see you again next summer!

It’s going to be very exciting to see which competitions make a comeback in Big Brother 27, especially because the Big Brother 26 A.I. Arena twist was such a big hit. The BB A.I. Arena twist forced the Head of Household (HOH) to nominate three houseguests for eviction instead of two. After the Power of Veto competition and ceremony, the three houseguests remaining on the chopping block battled it out live on eviction night to determine the final two nominees. This twist shook up the show and breathed new life into the game after 25 seasons.
