After Big Brother 27's Predictable Finale, I’m Convinced Season 28 Is Coming Sooner Than We Think — With a Big Twist

Big Brother Season 27 had strong players and plenty of drama, but I’m sorry to say the finale didn’t deliver.

It felt flat and way too predictable for a Big Brother season that promised more.

Ashley Hollis’ winning was absolutely the right call: her social game was lethal, her comp wins well-timed, and concealing her legal career? Genius.

But hear me out: by the time Ashley beat Vince in that 6-1 vote, I knew exactly how it would go.

There was no tension, no surprise: just a quiet, predictable end to a season that played it a little too safe.

And honestly, I was ready to unplug and move on until I started noticing something odd online. Little hints. And then it hit me.

If you’ve been paying attention, the signs are everywhere. And this time, they might actually mean something.

Big Brother Winners Drop Hints About Possible New Season

Right after Big Brother 27 season wrapped, my feed lit up with cryptic posts from former winners. And these weren’t just nostalgic throwbacks; these were signals.

Xavier Prather teased a comeback with “(Win)ter is coming”, hinting at a return to competition.

Josh Martinez used emojis (a house, star, and trophy) to reflect his Big Brother win.

Tay Mack joked about hitting the gym, asking “#whatsnext”, possibly prepping for a new challenge.

I don’t need a press release to know when something’s up. These winners aren’t dropping random Big Brother hints for fun; there’s no way this much teasing isn’t leading to something.

CBS Big Brother Spinoff Could Align With Winter Olympics 2026

And the moment I saw Xavier’s tweet, my first thought was: they’re prepping us. They know we’re watching. It feels like they want us to notice. You feel it too, right?

The Winter Olympics are in February 2026, and I’m sure CBS knows everyone will be watching that instead of regular shows.

That’s why they’ve dropped shorter Big Brother spinoffs during the Olympics in the past. The celebrity edition has been fun, but an all-winners season would be more interesting.

It would keep viewers engaged when other networks are getting steamrolled by figure skating and curling, and it would be a great way to promote the network’s midseason entries.

Big Brother may not command huge total viewership, but it does dominate most other shows in key demographics.

So, if I’m CBS and I want to launch a limited winter edition of Big Brother —one that doesn’t require a full season or a cast of total unknowns — what do I do?

Easy. I call in the champions. The ones who’ve done this before. Who already know the rules. Who are camera-ready and built for gameplay.

A condensed All-Winners season during the Winter Olympics makes too much sense.

It’s plug-and-play TV, and it’s exactly the shot in the arm this franchise needs after a finale that fizzled.

Big Brother All-Winners Season: Fan-Favorite Idea Gains Traction

Look, I enjoyed parts of Big Brother 27. Ashley’s run was impressive, even if it was under the radar.

Vince was a comp monster. Morgan Pope had one of the best pre-finale performances of the last five years, and I still think she should’ve had a shot at Final Two.

And Keanu Soto winning America’s Favorite Houseguest? He thoroughly deserved it; he played a clean game, avoided the chaos, and somehow still stayed relevant.

That’s not easy in a house full of strong personalities and a few total disasters.

Yes, I’m looking at Rylie Jeffries, whose treatment of Katherine Woodman was painful to watch.

Between the toxic manipulation, the fan petitions, and the rumors about his personal life, I’m still wondering how CBS let him in the house to begin with.

So yeah, it was a memorable season. But once the dust settled, I didn’t feel satisfied.

I wanted a bolder, sharper endgame. I wanted real power players clashing in the final weeks, not a quiet march to an inevitable jury vote.

I don’t want another season of half-gamers and over-edited twists.

I want killers. I want strategy from Day 1. I want to see the best go head-to-head, with no one able to hide behind inexperience.

Give me Dan Gheesling pulling the strings, Derrick Levasseur running his silent operation, Taylor Hale owning the room, and Xavier thinking ten steps ahead.

If CBS wants to remind people why Big Brother is still the most cutthroat game on television, this is the way to do it.

Will CBS Confirm Big Brother’s Most Competitive Season Yet?

I know, I know. There’s no confirmation. No teaser. No promo shots of key cards or returning houseguests.

But let’s not forget how they played it with Reindeer Games. That was announced weeks before airing.

CBS doesn’t mind keeping secrets until the last possible second, especially when it helps control the narrative.

So, if they’re planning to drop an All-Winners season in early 2026? We probably won’t hear anything until it’s almost here.

Ergo, after a decent but ultimately underwhelming Big Brother Season 27, Big Brother has a chance to do something incredible.
