01The take
BB Takeover.
The summer the producers handed weekly twist authority to a rotating cast of celebrity guests, each landing in the BB studio to drop a new mechanic into the game. The Takeover device pulls the show's pacing in five directions at once, and the cast — seventeen houseguests including a mid-season twin reveal — never quite settles into the rhythm a Big Brother summer wants. A season the franchise tried, learned from, and quietly walked back. Useful for the experiment.
