Frankie Grande Weighs in on Criticisms of ‘Big Brother 28’ Premiere

SPOILER ALERT: This article contains spoilers for the Season 28 premiere of Big Brother on CBS.

The latest season of Big Brother has gotten off to a wild start, with the premiere episode featuring not one but three appearances by former CBS reality stars. However, one of these appearances ended in an unexpected and dramatic fashion, with a former player being pushed into a volcano by a velociraptor.

The incident, which took place during the show’s time-travel themed premiere, has left some critics questioning the show’s decision-making. Buzz Feed Canada recently took to social media to express their disappointment, calling the show’s choices ‘absurd’ and wondering why viewers still tune in.

However, Frankie Grande, a former Big Brother player and brother of pop star Ariana Grande, is not having it. In a recent Instagram post, Grande fired back at the critic, stating that ‘camp is part of its DNA and charm’ and that ‘no one is forcing you to watch.’

Grande’s defense of the show is not surprising, given his own experience as a player on Big Brother. He appeared on Season 16 of the show and quickly became a fan favorite, known for his outgoing personality and unapologetic humor.

Grande’s comments have sparked a heated debate among fans of the show, with some agreeing with his assessment and others continuing to express their disappointment with the show’s choices. Regardless of one’s opinion on the matter, it’s clear that Big Brother is still a show that knows how to make waves and generate buzz.

So, what do you think? Is Big Brother’s latest season a must-watch, or are the show’s absurd choices a turn-off? Let us know in the comments below.

In related news, the show’s latest season has also been making headlines for its tribute to late player Mickey Lee, who passed away in 2022. The episode featured a heartfelt message from the show’s host, Julie Chen Moonves, and a montage of Lee’s most memorable moments on the show.

Additionally, the show’s latest season has also seen the introduction of three new players, all of whom are familiar faces in the world of reality TV. Angela Murray, a former player on Big Brother, and Rick Devens, a player from Survivor, both made appearances in the premiere episode, while Dee Valladares, another Survivor player, was introduced as a new player in the show’s second episode.

As the season continues to heat up, it will be interesting to see how these new players fit in and whether they will be able to make a name for themselves in the Big Brother universe.
