'Big Brother 15' Premiere: 'MVP' Poll Begins; Julie Chen Tweets Premiere Info [VIDEO]
The producers of Big Brother are already asking for America to participate in the upcoming season via the "Big Brother MVP" twist.
Two days after producers released details about the new twists, there is already a poll up for one of those twists, the "Big Brother MVP." Voted on by America, the "Big Brother MVP" is given to one contestant who the public feels is playing the best game. The winner of this poll will be given a special power in the game, which has not yet been revealed by producers.
A poll was uploaded on Friday asking the public to vote for the first "Big Brother MVP." Since viewers haven't seen any of the 16 contestants play the game yet, they will have to base their judgments on cast interviews posted on the Big Brother website on Thursday.
As for the most popular contestants so far, the two cast members with the most Facebook likes on the official cast page are 26-year-old professor Andy Herren and 31-year-old railroad conductor Spencer Clawson.
Watch a video explaining the "Big Brother MVP" twist:
The cast was announced on the show's website on Thursday, revealing 16 contestants with one "familiar face," as host Julie Chen hinted. That familiar face was Elissa Slater, who is the sister of Big Brother 13 winner Rachel Reilly. Chen tweeted some of the lines she'll be reading on Wednesday night's premiere on Friday, which has to do with both Reilly and the "Big Brother MVP" twist.
Chen tweeted "Find out why I'm quoting @RachelEReilly in the season premiere of #BB15 on Wed. June 26 @ 8 PM EST on..." and then posted a picture from her Instagram. In the picture, she has numerous lines blacked out except "floaters... you better grab a life vest," a famous quote from Reilly during her time on the show. Chen had previously said that one of the twists would make Big Brother 15 a "no-floater summer," which is presumably the "MVP" twist.
Big Brother 15 will premiere on Wednesday, June 26 at 8 p.m. on CBS.
