Renegades Era

The strategic-era pivot. Thirteen houseguests, an "Adam and Eve" premiere that drops two players in alone before the rest arrive, and an alliance born inside that becomes franchise lore. The Renegades era starts here. The casting reads sharper than the winter season that preceded it, and the producers seem to have learned what the show is selling. Watch it for the moment Big Brother takes its alliance vocabulary seriously, on a cast that holds against the old era's best.
