On social media, the premiere was the most-engaged and most-viewed premiere since 2020.

BIG BROTHER's 28th season launched the BIG BROTHER: TIME TRIP twist, introducing 14 new Houseguests alongside surprise appearances from reality-TV veterans Angela Murray (BIG BROTHER 26), Rick Devens (SURVIVOR) and Rachel Reilly (BIG BROTHER winner and franchise icon). Rachel's shocking "demise" and exit from the game became the premiere's biggest moment, paving the way for the arrival of SURVIVOR 45 winner Dee Valladares, whose entry into the House was officially revealed during Friday's BIG BROTHER: UNLOCKED episode.
