Big Brother’s season 27 has unveiled its intriguing new theme: a “summer of mystery.” The season premiere is set for July 10 on CBS, and houseguests will be welcomed not only into the renowned Big Brother house but also into the whimsical Hotel Mystère, which features an array of peculiar rooms and decor that promise a suspenseful experience.
This year, CBS is raising the stakes with a range of twists. New elements include a “masked visitor,” a “secret accomplice,” and a “Mystery Houseguest” whose identity will remain undisclosed for the time being. The ambiguity surrounding these twists raises speculation: Could one of the twists involve a returning player or a guest from another CBS reality show? Fans may recall how Survivor’s Cirie Fields made a surprise appearance during the Big Brother 25 premiere in 2023.
Hotel Mystère is designed to enhance the mystery theme, with features such as a reception area full of key boxes and a living room adorned with massive chess pieces contributing to the overall ambience of suspense. The house boasts various uniquely themed rooms, from an attic bedroom filled with eerie artifacts to a boxing ring gym for those competitive moments.
Among the house’s standout features is the whimsical “Poison Bar” in the Venom Lounge, where guests can relax, albeit without any actual poison. There’s also a sleeper car bunk room— a distinctive addition this season since previous years— which adds a retro flair to the design.
Fans of the franchise can look forward to delving deep into the secrets and hidden aspects of the house as they enjoy another thrilling season filled with strategy, alliances, and unexpected turns. The new elements not only promise entertainment but also invite viewers to engage in the mystery, enhancing the overall excitement around this beloved reality show.
For those eager to catch a glimpse of the new setup, CBS has released numerous photographs showcasing the notable rooms and clues anticipating a rollicking summer of entertainment centered around intrigue and competition.
