Big Brother 21 preempted, delayed in some markets by preseason football

Big Brother 21

Tonight may end up being the most epic night of Big Brother 21 of the season thanks to Jack’s imminent eviction from the game. Yet, some viewers across the Eastern and Central time zones may be stuck watching some NFL football already.

We’re at that time of the year where preseason football is getting in the way of a lot of viewers being able to check out the CBS show — and it all varies on where you are. We know that in some markets, the Big Brother eviction show is going to air at the same time as always. However, in some other markets you’re going to be waiting for a while in order to see it — as late as after 1:00 a.m.!

The best advice that we can offer is to check out your local CBS station in advance online, make sure that Big Brother is airing, and if it’s not, it may be airing on a sister network. For example, we know that Miami is going to air tonight’s Big Brother on a separate station, in addition to repeating it later on in the night.

Why wouldn’t networks want a new episode of one of the highest-rated show of the summer? The simple answer is this: Football is still king. It doesn’t quite matter where you are. One way or another, the NFL is going to draw big ratings … even in preseason. It’s always going to be prioritized by major networks over the course of the year, no matter who the team is. (Trust us — there are going to be some VERY terrible football games out there.)

Tonight’s episode will feature either Jack Matthews or Jackson Michie evicted … and also a new Head of Household at the same time.
