The cast of Big Brother 17
Big Brother 17 was the sixth season of Big Brother to be covered by RHAP. The season saw the return of the "Battle of the Block" twist from Big Brother 16. It also instituted the "Big Brother Takover" for the first three weeks of the game, where various guests will institute several twists throughout the week, and the return of the "Twin Twist" from season 5.
Description[]
Big Brother coverage continued to expand in the new season. In addition to live podcasts after every episode, Rob also added an occasional voicemail show between the Sunday and Wednesday episodes. These shows, functioning in a similar manner as their Survivor equivalent, brought in a guest from the Big Brother community or a live feed correspondent to answer feedback from RHAP listeners. Exit interviews continued from the last few seasons, though this time Rob was able to submit text questions to jury members, rather than not have an outright interview. Rob would then recap the text answers on Friday with live feed correspondent Alex Kidwell.
With the departure of Brian Lynch after the previous season, Rob utilized three live feed correspondents this season, all of whom had a trial run during coverage of Big Brother Canada 3: Taran Armstrong, Alex Kidwell, and Brent Wolgamott. Each correspondent was assigned a day of the week to appear on the podcast. The preseason also featured a "Big Brother Think Tank"; in a similar manner to its Survivor equivalent, Rob sat down with Ian Terry, Spencer Clawson, and Mike Bloom to discuss possible new twists the game can institute moving forward.
