Dust off your punishment costumes and whip up a batch of slop: Big Brother 27 is on the way.
While the new season is sure to be filled with the traditions we love and the twists we love to hate, there’s a lot to unpack before we meet the cast whose every move we will watch on TV and the live feeds.
The basic format of the season will stay the same with the houseguests voting each other out until one winner claims the $750,000 grand prize. But as they say on Big Brother, expect the unexpected, and there are already a few new wrinkles added to the mix.
So will we see the next Dan Gheesling come into their own in the Big Brother house? Who will be the most sick-nasty houseguest who looks really cool in yellow? And, most importantly, are we finally done with Jankie World?
Although Big Brother follows a basic formula from year to year, fans know to expect the unexpected when it comes to production twists.

Big Brother will stick to its usual Sunday-Wednesday-Thursday format, but with a twist. Wednesday episodes, traditionally reserved for the Golden Power of Veto competition and meeting, will now be 90 minutes long.
What Is Big Brother: Unlocked?
Starting July 25, Big Brother will add a Friday night show, airing every other week, under the moniker Big Brother: Unlocked.
“Three BB All-Stars offer never-before-seen broadcast footage from the house, exclusive interviews, surprise guest appearances and unprecedented behind-the-scenes access,” CBS teased in a press release. “Former houseguests share firsthand insight and expertise as they analyze gameplay, assess the competition and give their insider’s perspective.”
We don’t know who those All-Stars will be — and the show has always played it fast-and-loose with the term — but it’s a welcome addition nonetheless for those who love talking BB strategy.

Not as part of the game. Fans will still see some old favorites during Big Brother: Unlocked, and BB24 winner Taylor Hale is expected to return to moderate the jury roundtable at the end of the season.
This will be the fifth straight season to not feature returning houseguests, marking the longest stretch of all-new players since the show’s first six seasons.
