The reality show Big Brother continues to remain one of the best summer traditions on television. Fans look forward to the houseguests, shenanigans, challenges, and mysterious twists and turns at every corner. As per a post via the Big Brother Instagram handle, BB 26 will have a two-night premiere taking place on Wednesday, July 17 and Thursday, July 18.
The show’s infamous Zingbot robot’s voice could be heard in the post spewing his legendary, “Zingity, Zingity, Zing!” jargon, as the July 17 and July 18 dates pop up on the screen.
Us Weekly is reporting that BB 26 will air on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays; however, unlike the show’s traditional airtime of 8 p.m. (ET), this season’s episodes will air at 9 p.m. (ET) on all three nights. Typically in the past, Thursday is live eviction shows.
Plus, fans can expect to see the hostess with the most-ess, Julie Chen Moonves return as BB 26’s official host! She’s been in this role since the reality TV series premiered in 2000. Julie will be on hand for the premiere night, as well as eviction shows, and the season finale episodes.
