Big Brother 26 – Paramount Announces NO Live Feed Flashback or Archive Feature this season!


We just discovered that Paramount+ made the horrible decision that this season they will not have the archives and flashbacks feature as part of the live feeds. This is very bad news for the Big Brother fans that desperately need this feature to get the full experience out of the live feeds. I think this is a terrible decision just like how Big Brother Canada kept shortening the amount of time you could flashback on the live feeds to then eventually dropping the feeds altogether for the stupid daily diaries. In my opinion this is what put the final nail in the coffin for Big Brother Canada and why it wasn’t renewed for another season.

“We’ve recently made some changes to our Live Feeds experience. Starting this season, archives and flashbacks are no longer available, but you can still watch all four cameras with the live feeds!”

These features are “PARAMOUNT” to the enjoyment of the Big Brother live feeds and without them it will ruin the feeds for many fans. The Big Brother fans need to unite and start petitions to force CBS / Paramount+ to reinstate the archive and flashback features because if this isn’t available for this season and future seasons I fear it could be the nail in the BB US franchise.

Horrible decision by paramount not having archives or flashback rewind feature.

Chessie_K

This is really sad. I am willing to pay extra if necessary to have flashbacks and archives

They have decided to coddle racists like Kyle and other problematic houseguests so you can save your money because they wouldn’t take it either way smh.

Martin Tanley

Makes sense what you’re saying. However Cameron was much worse. The show gave him such an insanely gracious edit. Despite his creepy and controversial behavior while being the rat.

Martin Tanley

Even hisam repeated misogynist racist rhetoric was much worse. As a sign, that this was coming . The show completely swept Hisam words under the rug and made their code of conduct policy look like child’s play a result of not saying anything about hisam just one week after Luke expulsion.

Simon

Hisam brings back nightmares.

Martin Tanley

How Taylor said that Hisam getting out Reilly was the best move of the season and that the worst move of the season was getting rid of hisam proves how little Taylor knows about big brother. How taylor sings hisam praises for being one of the greatest casting choices ever when she couldn’t even recognize that hisam devin’d himself in the game is troubling. What made hisam much worse than a Devin Sheppard was that Hisam was a terrible person with serve Prejudices on so many levels ; he was personal and for Taylor to be so in awe of him is alarming.

BB Facepalm

what planet are you on? you are so delusional. Kyle is not a racist and nothing he did or said in his season was racist,…its people like you why we have this censorship happening more and more with BB

ssilva872

We know what you are about. MAGA clown…

Omega BB

you people continue to be vile until your dying day I’m sure

ssilva872

And so do you people…

Fraggle Rock Bottom

Stay classy my little buttercup. You must be a pleasure to be around.

ssilva872

As do you red hatter. 🙂

Chris

Here you go with that dei crap. Trump is President

Biff Tannen

The beginning of the end.

ssilva872

Sad but true.

The show won’t survive this just like how Big Brother Canada ended two years after pulling off a worse version of this.

I guess Julie won’t have to worry about hosting for much longer.

Phil and Jeff are going to the Final 2.

I posted this two updates ago but this is still how I feel (but now I’m more annoyed because they dug their heels in it seems). This horrid plan should have been changed ASAP but now all fans can do is boycott the show and complain endlessly on social media. That probably still won’t work but they will get theirs when the show is cancelled in two years lol.

“This really pisses me off because this site is my favorite but aren’t there only 2 people who contribute to it? Surely you both can’t do it all. At least in the past one or both of you could go to the meaningful part(s) of the day and recap on your time but now you can’t unless you find some screen recorded portion of the clips.

This will surely mess up Jokers too but they have more contributors but rarely pictures so I’m so annoyed.

Why the fuck would they do this? Don’t they know when they mess with the feeds in any way they are putting the entire show at risk of being cancelled? The idiots in charge need to ask BBCA and Arissa how that shit went down.

They are just idiots plain and simple and all because they want to protect some potentially racist/sexist/homophobic/other type of piece of shit people…”

Fraggle Rock Bottom

I wish there was a ignore option like other chats, where posters that spam chat strings can be muted for individual readers/ posters.

ssilva872

Same. I’d be blocking a ton of you MAGA trolls too. But oh well I’ll just have to deal with you.

Nate_James

Means some house guest will get away with so inappropriate disrespectful behaviors and not get called out. Alot of protection from criticism this season.

Tucker For The Win

It’s like the show hates its fans

Martin Tanley

More so to protect productions favorites or pets. They gave Cameron an insanely nice edit making it seem like he was victim underdog redeeming character. When cam betrayed his alliance by giving up their names to hisam in the half not Room week one after hisam won veto. Even more so how show protected hisam with the code of conduct was quite telling that they will protect certain players to minimize their backlash.

Omega BB

More lies about who production protects & the feeds getting censored is to protect hgs from lunatics like you using every single thing as some social justice platform that justifies your personal attacks against hgs, friends, families & even livelihoods.

ssilva872

No it is the lunatics like you who think whatever bad shit comes out of people’s mouths is 100% OK and nobody should be able to bring it up (be that fans with dignity and morals or their employers who decide it isn’t the best to be associated with problematic individuals).

Lunatics claim “It’s their 1st Amendment right” to speak how they want but they need to actually study the 1st Amendment because statements likes that just proves they are very ignorant…

It’s incredibly sad that so many people on this site apparently co-sign the words and actions of problematic contestants of the past, and potential ones in the future, and are on the side of the producers to nerf the live feeds.

There really are not that many bad apples so I’m confused why some people would stick up for them when this change will only kill the show in 2-4 seasons. Like are you a fan of the show overall or just the most controversial players?

It’s very bizarre but then again being in a cult is also bizarre…

May you all have the power to break free one day; God bless!

There is an active petition to bring back the feeds with over 1600 signatures so far. Be sure to sign, post on socials and share!

I also want to start a petition to bring back Ginamarie and Paloma.

The Beef

Simon and/or Dawg, do you guys feel that this may be a direct shot at your site and the other sites like yours, that use those features extensively to find the content you need to generate your updates? Ssilva872 has a point that without those features, those kinds of comments and conversations may not only be missed, they will certainly be harder to document and PROVE they were actually said, without the ability to go back and research them, copy them, and then publish them for the world to see. I’m not sure how CBS and Paramount production feels about your site and the others doing what you do, as on the one hand you generate a lot of publicity for the show, but when it’s bad and they would rather that not get out, it’s kind of a double edged sword, which they have no control over. I wonder if this is their attempt to kind of put the damn genie back into the bottle, so to speak. Just wondering what you guys think.

Simon

Yup. It’s the beginning of them them stripping out features. Next comes Digital daily’s then cancellation.

I’m trying to set up enough machines to record all the feeds and will hopefully have the entire season archived.

Omega BB

If CBS cared they could easily upload the live stream footage from each day onto a CBS OFFICIAL LIVE FEEDS YouTube channel. Then delete it once the season is over.

Roxt

Just stopping by to say hello to our buddies Simon and Dawg and – of course – all of y’all who come here year after year for our guilty pleasure OR fav reality show.

I’m not gonna lie: I laughed at how cringe and lukewarm that premiere was.

  • OOOOOOH the super twist! An ugly AI that’s not really AI!!!
  • Comps that were lame and tired (Reindeer games had better stuff and I only saw 2 episodes)
  • Same old rhythm and pacing of previous premieres and not a thrilling packed hour
  • Eye roll fest!

I hope that – at least – I’m gonna be able to laugh at those dumdums. I already saw lame and amateur attitudes. I pray that I’m being overly critical and hope that I’ll be surprised.

Also here hoping that y’all are gonna make me laugh with your comments. You make this experience better.

I don’t understand CBS’ inability to turn this show into something more relevant as the rest of the world manages to do with it.

Riley

Has anyone found a good work around for this. A good fan developed external app that does well with it or anything like that or are we just having to try to use a camera or recording software if we don’t want to be in front of our tvs 24 hours a day ?
