‘Big Brother 16’ spoilers: New Fitbit Flex twist to monitor houseguests every move

Just in case you didn’t think that “Big Brother 16” had enough twists to it already, here is something else coming up that could “change the game” in other ways.

Recently on the live feeds, you may have seen something about activity trackers being handed out to the players. These are apparently Fitbit Flex devices, that are going to monitor basically every single move a houseguest makes within the house. Why is this important? Per sources, it is because America will have an opportunity to see through these just how active some houseguests are versus some of the others. There could be rewards or punishments dolled out during the season as a result of this.

There are a couple of things that we don’t like about this idea, with the first one being that calorie counts and weight may be included in here. Isn’t it a little too cruel to know whether or not people are gaining weight in the house? Some of the women in particular have been trashed unfairly on forums for this over the years.

Also, the last thing we want is for this data to ever be released to the houseguests unless they ask for it. Otherwise, they may be able to figure out who in the game is being sneaky thanks to some data, and we want our game to remain as pure and devoid of outside information as possible. It’s already convoluted enough thanks to Team America and the Battle of the Block (though at least the latter has no outside influence).
