The 2026 TV schedule has finally revealed Big Brother Season 28's premiere date, and it wouldn't be the start of the season without one more vague hint from Julie Chen Moonves. The host did an interview about the house and how the Lazy Susans in the kitchen are more important this season than we may assume. Julie gave a house tour to CBS Mornings in a new video, where she also dropped the reveal that all is not as it appears when it comes to those two spiral discs on the roundtable. Here's what she had to say specifically: This Lazy Susan? She not lazy [smiles]. She not lazy at all, that's all I can say. It has a lot to do with the twist. It's wild to see Julie show more personality than her typical "ChenBot" persona on Big Brother, but I digress. She revealed ahead of the premiere that the Lazy Susans seen below are part of the season's Time Trip twist, but I'm not exactly sure we can figure out how based on what we've seen so far: (Image credit: Aimee Santos/CBS)Fortunately, as someone who has previously already clocked an item that could have some relevance in the BB 28 house, I have some theories. Here's what I'm thinking so far, though, as always, I'll defer to the motto that we should always "expect the unexpected." Food Challenges Are Coming BackLazy Susans on a table, in my mind, are often a place where food is placed. We also know that Big Brother Season 28's big theme involves time travel, so maybe a long-gone element from early seasons is making a comeback! Could we possibly see Food Challenges make a big return? For the uninitiated, Food Challenges were a weekly competition in which the Houseguests had to play a game that dictated which groceries they'd receive for the week. Because not every item was guaranteed, there'd be times when they'd hit the jackpot and get a full buffet of items, and other times when they'd get all bread and veggies with no meat. Of all the ways Big Brother could nod at the past, I'd love to see this twist return the most. Slop Items Will Rotate Week To WeekSlop is such a hot-button issue in recent seasons of Big Brother, with fans complaining it rarely has a meaningful impact on the season. Either we make slop interesting again, or do away with it, and while there are those on the site who prefer the latter, I think the show should consider shaking things up. I think back to Season 14 that allowed viewers to vote on two items that the Have-Nots could have outside of slop. Or, maybe just give them other wild stuff to live on, like a week on anchovies and bananas. I think that would at least create more discussion and increase slop's relevance. Oh, the slop items would be displayed on the Lazy Susan, which is where it fits into this discussion. The Key Wheel Is Coming BackI want to preface this by saying that I don't believe this is the case, but because enough people want it to return, I'll manifest it. Maybe, just maybe, the Lazy Susans are meant for a key wheel to be placed on, and we're finally going to see the nomination ceremony unfold like it used to in the old days. More On Big BrotherBig Brother Revealed Most (But Not All) Of The Season 28 CastUltimately, we have no idea how the Lazy Susans will play into Big Brother, and who knows just how relevant they are to Season 28. It's Julie's job to be the hype woman for the franchise, and for all we know, the way it relates to the twist is that they spin when the house goes "back in time" and revisits previous eras. Let's not forget how kooky this show gets; that could legitimately be all they do. With the new Houseguests having moved in on Tuesday, I'm all the more eager to see the live feeds start after Big Brother: Unlocked on Friday. I'm dying to see who is getting along, who already had a blowout fight, and which Houseguest might've gotten removed before the first eviction ever started. This season is sure to be great, even if the Lazy Susans don't end up being as significant as advertised. Big Brother Season 28 kicks off on CBS on Thursday, July 9th at 8:00 p.m. ET. Get ready for the 90-minute premiere and all sorts of fun over the next three months as we watch the reality series crown its next winner!
