The host shares intel on the new season’s twists, turns, and themes.
But also… summer is over!
C’mon, you might do better than that, Chenbot!

Alright, “new” and “crazy” challenges.
Now we are getting somewhere.
Not only that, but America will have a voice and a vote as part of that twist.

(Oooooh, intrigue!)
(Too bad, but always better to err on the side of safety.)
However, Moonves doesn’t want to talk anymore about the premiere.
She wants to talk about what will happenafterthe premiere.
“Because the person who gets evicted may not be who you think.”
“It could almost be anyone,” Moonves says.
It’s our 24th season.
We have to really switch it up."
Sooooo, what exactly does that mean?
“Yes, exactly!”
“Expect the unexpected!
We have to hand it to [the players].
These people come in.
They’ve watched since they were like eight years old.
They know the game.
We have to do something to keep them on their toes.”
As for a season theme, Chen spills that season 24’s theme will be… BB Fest.
“I mean, who doesn’t love a festival?”
But my favorite…" And this is where she pauses for dramatic effect.
“We’re going to have a Zing Fest.”
And wait, what exactly happens during a Zing Fest?
Does that just mean… more zings?
“I would imagine more zings,” says Moonves.
“I hope they can take it.
The zings are so harsh.
You should hear some that don’t make the show.
Get on your thick skin, people!
The host also notes that “We never zing the celebrities.
There are usually people fawning all over them.
We can’t do that to them.”
“It’s supposed to feel very Palm Springs, mid-century, BB Motel.
Every time I see BB Motel, I think it’s like the Roach Motel.
Unless you get evicted.”
You want to team up with the people that you think can really take you to the end.
And we’re simply holding on waiting for tomorrow night’s premiere to kick off another BB campaign.
Speaking of which, does Julie have her premiere outfit picked out yet?
“Yes, I have!
It got picked up from my house yesterday.
It’s probably resting in the studio now.”
Any teases as to the outfit?
“Think Prince,” says the host.
