‘Big Brother: Over The Top’ Spoilers: ‘BBOTT’ Cast Reveal News, And Weekly Schedule Released
Big Brother: Over the Top (or what some have labeled Big Brother 19) is due to commence in just days and fans are anxious to find out who will be part of the cast and exactly what the weekly schedule of the streaming-only show will be.
As noted by Carter Matt, almost every aspect of this new Big Brother format is a mystery, including the cast and whether they will be “…roughly the same exact archetypes we have had many times over the past few seasons.” Because Big Brother has never been an online-only show, although live feeds are broadcast from inside the house at a fairly consistent frequency, it is not clear how the competitions, ceremonies, and other tried and true Big Brother standards will play out.

According to CBS, the new cast of Big Brother: Over the Top will be introduced to the world on Monday, September 26, two days before the premiere. The CBS website, however, does not specify the exact hour this will take place. One thing that is certain regarding the cast is that either Jason Roy from Big Brother 17 or Jozea Flores, an early boot from Big Brother 18, will join the show.

The rest of what will take place on Big Brother: Over the Top seems to parallel the regular show regarding competitions and ceremonies, with the exception of the Safety Ceremony, which is a novel concept to Big Brother.
