‘Big Brother 16’ spoilers: When will the live feeds officially start?

For all “Big Brother” fans, here is a word to the wise and something to remember when it comes to the live feeds: You’ll be waiting for a while longer than usual.

The feeds for this year are going to begin starting on Thursday night at 10:00 p.m. Pacific, immediately following the end of the West Coast broadcast. Hopefully, there will be a smoother launch to the feeds than last year, when CBS was getting its media player for the show going for the first time and they had all sorts of problems with Canadians.

If you haven’t picked up the feeds, get them now: We always find the first four or five weeks to be best for the feeds, mostly because there are more people! More houseguests = more people doing stupid things for us to watch and enjoy. It will be interesting to see everything that transpired from the premiere to the time that the feeds go live, mostly because it takes a week or two during a season for us to get a sense of the timeline.

In case you didn’t see it earlier today, the official cast swimsuit photo is above! We know that some put great stock in this sort of thing, and we’re mostly appalled / worried by all of the abs this season. We don’t want to see just a bunch of guys pumping iron and talking about protein all season. Not to stereotype, but this is what the past with these characters has shown us. (Just remember the feeds for season 12 and the level of boredom that was there at the end.)

Of course, we’ll have our full review of the premiere later at the link here, which is going to be your non-stop source for live feed updates and more all season. It’s going to be a great season, and we’re looking forward to having you on board.

Update: Originally info said that the feeds would come up after the East Coast, but that has since changed.
