After Seeing Big Brother 27’s House Design, I Think This Season’s Going To Feel Like Old School BB

It’s almost Big Brother season, and now that the BB 27 house design has been revealed, I’m feeling like this season is going to give old school BB in the best possible way. Big Brother 27’s been highly anticipated all year long after the success of BB 26, and now that the house design is out, there’s even more to be excited for.

After a year of speculation, the new theme of the Big Brother house has a luxurious European feel. Dubbed Hotel Mystère, the new theme ushers in another secretive summer of the long-running game that’s sure to be full of twists and turns. Even host Julie Chen Moonves has shared how much she’s enjoying the new design, leaving BB fans abuzz.

While there have been several different eras of Big Brother that I’ve enjoyed over the years, I’ve always been the type of viewer looking to recapture the magic of old school Big Brother. Something about the earlier seasons, when houseguests were always testing the boundaries of the game, feels richer than its current iteration. I’m hopeful BB 27 will bring back old school trends.

BB 27’s House & Theme Feels Like Old School Big Brother

It Has Secret Nooks & Crannies

Big Brother’s house design feels reminiscent of old school Big Brother to me in a few ways. First and foremost, the insanely detailed design elements took me back to seasons like Big Brother 8, which featured an Alice In Wonderland theme, where the interior of the house played as much of a role as the houseguests. The details are rich and telling.

Big Brother 27 host Julie Chen Moonves reveals a clue about the newest season’s theme after the key art was unveiled ahead of the July 10 premiere.

Along with the design feeling like older seasons in its depth, the fact that there are secrets interwoven throughout the house – like a secret door behind a bookcase that leads to the diary room – leads me to believe there will be more to uncover. In old seasons, like Big Brother 6, the houseguests have been tasked with finding rooms, luxury items, and other secrets.

I’m Hopeful This Season Will Continue The BB Renaissance

As the last seasons of Big Brother have been risen in quality, I’m hopeful that the redesign of the house helps usher in another season of the BB Renaissance. While seasons in the 2010s were hit or miss, the 2020s have been an uphill battle for the long-running competition show. Big Brother will, hopefully, continue to twist itself into a compelling competition.

Big Brother season 27 premieres on Wednesday, July 10 at 8 p.m. EDT on CBS.
