Why Wasn’t Big Brother 26 on Tonight? Wednesday Schedule Change Explained

Are you curious why Big Brother wasn’t on tonight? Fans of Big Brother Season 26 were left puzzled when the expected Wednesday episode didn’t air. With the season nearing its finale in less than two weeks, the sudden absence of the show sparked questions about the schedule. So, why wasn’t Big Brother on, and when will the next episode air?

Here’s everything you need to know about the schedule change and what to expect next.

Why Big Brother 26 didn’t release an episode on Wednesday

Big Brother 26 didn’t release an episode on Wednesday due to the premiere of another CBS show: The Summit.

As fans are aware, Big Brother Season 26 was airing its episodes on Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday Nights. The middle-week episode on Wednesday used to air at 8.00 pm slot since 10 weeks primarily consisting of the Power of Veto competition and ceremony. However, viewers were left shocked when this week’s Wednesday episode was not on air tonight.

Soon, it was revealed that this sudden change took place due to CBS’s new reality show titled The Summit. The series will be airing at 9:30 pm slot following the Survivor which was earlier occupied by Big Brother for the past two weeks. Thus, from now on there will be no new episodes of Big Brother Season 26 on Wednesday. (via Parade)

While fans are disappointed by the sudden disruption in the series’s schedule, the good news is that they do not need to wait longer for the next episode. The next episode of Big Brother will be out on Thursday and the time will be an hour earlier at 8:00 pm running for two hours. In this episode, viewers can expect the veto competition and eviction to merge. A similar schedule will be followed for the next week with no episodes on Wednesdays.

Big Brother Season 26 airs on CBS.
