Big Brother 28 - Julie Chen

Big Brother 28 Is Almost Here… And Summer Productivity Is Officially Cancelled!

Big Brother fans mark summer by sleep deprivation, live-feed paranoia, and screaming “WHY WOULD YOU TELL THEM THAT?!” at 2:14 a.m.

And now, the countdown officially begins.

CBS has officially confirmed that Big Brother 28 premieres on Thursday, July 9, 2026, with a supersized 90-minute premiere episode hosted once again by Julie Chen Moonves.

And yes — the live feeds are returning too, meaning strangers on the internet will once again become certified body-language experts after watching two people whisper beside a toaster oven.

Big Brother 27 Scandal: Vinny’s ‘Cheatmance’ with Morgan Shatters 7-Year Relationship with Kelsey

Postgame, Vinny has taken a defensive tone, attempting to distance himself from wrongdoing. In interviews, he emphasized:
“We ran scenarios … it was platonic all the way through.”
Despite his claims, the revelations about his relationship with Kelsey and the emotional fallout continue to shape public perception of his honesty. His reputation among fans and jury members has suffered, with social media frequently revisiting the “cheatmance” narrative.
Morgan, meanwhile, maintains that their bond was strictly a “platonic game relationship.” She also clarified her perspective in interviews when asked about what “Option 1” meant
“Ask Vince about that.”
While her comments seek to deflect criticism, they don’t fully erase the public impression that the emotional closeness in the house crossed standard friendship boundaries. Both Vince and Morgan now navigate a complicated post-show landscape: Vince grapples with the consequences of perceived betrayal, while Morgan balances her strategic integrity with the optics of alignment with someone many believe misled them.

From Chaos to Crown: Big Brother 27’s Messy Endgame and Post-Finale Interviews

After weeks of alliances blowing up faster than a microwave burrito, Big Brother 27 finally came to a close — and the jury made their decision loud and clear. Ashley walked away with a 6–1 victory over Vince and a cool $750,000 check, proving once again that in this game, it’s not about who lifts the most vetoes but who can convince a group of bitter ex-roommates that they don’t totally hate you.
BB27 will go down as the season of messiness and jury management. Ashley wasn’t the flashiest winner, but her ability to downplay threats and lean hard into relationships put her in the lineage of the great “social assassins.”

“I will literally always love you like on a very deep core level.. you’ve been my rock this entire game”

Vince – you feeling good
Morgan says she’s just going to try to speak from the heart and not stutter.. she goes on about her stuttering problem when she was younger.
Morgan – I had a back brace I had a stutter I looked crazy.. the list goes on.
Vince – and now you are a model on Big Brother in the final three (just as crazy)
Morgan – with my best friend
Vince – YES! I say things turned around pretty well for you.
Morgan – yeah… I’m sad it’s over
Vince – I am too
Morgan – I’m also happy because now we get to hang out in the real world unless you hate me

“I can feel in my heart that beating him is gonna be harder than beating Ashley. I don’t wanna make this any harder for myself.”

8:10pm Backyard – Morgan talking to the cameras..
Morgan – God, I know in my heart that I can be a Big Brother winner.
Win or lose, tomorrow, I know in my heart that I can be a Big Brother winner. God.
So I just pray that if I win.
That I make the right to, so I make the right decision and who I’m taking to the finals.
And I pray that if I don’t win that I am taken to the finals to have a chance at winning this game.
I’m just grateful God.
And I hope that you can cover Vinny.
I know he wanted this game so bad, but God.
I can feel in my heart that beating him is gonna be harder than beating Ashley and I don’t wanna make this any harder for myself.
Morgan, why did you decide to take Ashley instead of Vinny to the finals?
Considering that you’re saying honesty and loyalty is how you played this game.
It’s a great question.

“You’re not going to take me, are you?” — Vinny

12pm Backyard – Hammock Morgan and Vinny
Morgan – Like for example, let’s say Keanu was here and I wasn’t. And I’m like, yeah, but he made it all the way to the end. I wouldn’t be salty voting for him because it’s like he. You know, would one thing I do know is he would have cooked with his speech. He would have f**king cooked because he’s a he’s a f**king trainer. He’s a motivational. He would have cooked with his speech. He would have cooked everyone to the ground. I don’t know. I know Kelly. I thought I would know Kelly, but I clearly don’t because apparently she hates me. So it’s like.. Vinny – she does not hate you. She was threatened by you because she knew you would win the game. There was nothing personal. Morgan -Same thing how she felt about Keanu and Lauren. And I think I knew she liked me as a personal, as a person. Vinny – exactly. Morgan – But like get her vote, I don’t know. Vinny – against me? You don’t know if you would get her vote? Morgan – maybe against you. But I don’t know, I don’t know for a fact but yeah maybe.

“I am campaigning for second place and if I can be runner up to my best friend than I am happy” **updated**

12:05 am Ashley and Morgan
They are talking about how crazy it is that people were threatening jury votes this season.
They talk about how proud Ava is going to be of them. They laugh about how Ava was begging them not to let Vince make it to the end because she didn’t want to vote for him.

Ashley – I just wish I could have won more competitions, it just sucks that I’m in the final 3 with these two people..
Morgan – at the end of the day someone here is coming out with an extra 10K which isn’t a lot but still insane. Our lives are going to skyrocket after this (no it won’t)
MOrgan claims that nobody in prehury is remembered unless you are a stand out like a Keanu or Tucker. If you are in jury EVERYONE remembers you and if you are in the top 5 EVERYONE remembers you and if you are in the top three nobody ever forgets you.

Morgan “All you b!tches are at home watching us in the final 3. So what you got to say about that?”

6pm Bathroom – Vinny and Ashley
Vinny – I’m really sorry for not congratulating you sooner. I feel so embarrassed at how I acted. I was. I was so mad. I felt like it was never it. Ashley – It was the order. Vinny – Even if I reread the card, it wouldn’t have made… it doesn’t make sense to me really. Ashley – my bro, you shouldn’t regret it. Vinny – Its just my brain didn’t. It didn’t. That didn’t make sense. I never would have done that. I never did. Ashley – Do not feel bad because we did the exact same thing.
Morgan – I’m going to tell you this. You want to know what he (Zach) told me? Because we’re going to. I told Vincent, he told me because now I don’t give a f**k. He’s not here. And I was going to. I was going to hold this secret forever. But so he told me the week of his eviction that his 10K wasn’t just 10K. What it was, was a power? That he could take himself off the block. Because it was like a veto and whoever was the Active HOH would have earned the 10K. But he said he didn’t take himself off because he thought I was going to be the replacement and he didn’t want that.

Morgan – If you were me would you take someone that guarantees you 750 thousand dollars. YES

4:38 pm Vince and Morgan
Vince talk about missing some rule “What didn’t it click”
Morgan – you were so into it and you were ahead and you wanted to win.
Vince – I just wanted that so bad. I wanted to win that more than anything I have ever competed in my life and I blew it because of Directions … Order order order means 1 2 and 3 … not day.
Morgan – Ashley read it as well and glanced over it
Vince – but she re-read it.. I should have as well. You were saying Slow down.. you saw me I was panicking I was screaming “It’s fu**ing right”
Vince – I didn’t listen to you I just screamed like a f***ing child..

Ashley “I love Vince as a person but as a gamer, he is a master manipulator.”

8:30am Bathroom – Morgan talking to the cameras
Morgan – God, I will say that I am a little nervous to leave this house to know what the public perception could be or what may happen. I love Vince. It’s my guy. But I can’t help but worry that there is a narrative that is being painted. I know it’s true but I just don’t know. I’Il be there. I’ll get here to win. I didn’t know anybody here and I’m gonna do what I have to do.
So let’s start to work together God.
This one to speech because I need to make a decision if I do end up winning the final
three HOH. So thank you again for helping me win the final one. Just continue to be with me and guide me in this process. I’m doing my best.
