    Loads of fans commented on a post promoting the new episode of the CBS series.

    The post was captioned “It’s only week three and so much has happened in the #BB26 house. Who will shake things up this week!? See you tonight.”

    Each slide featured one of the remaining contestants including Tucker Des Laruriers, 30, Quinn Martin, 25, Rubina Bernabe, 35, Cedric Hodges, 21, T-Kor Clottey, 23, and Chelsie Baham, 27, but after golf delayed the networks broadcast schedule, one annoyed fan wrote, “i vote to evict golf.”

    “Big Brother is so much more important than golf how can golf run so late?” questioned another.

    @paramountplus @showtime WTF why isn’t Big Brother on right now???? @bigbrothercbs ,” exclaimed a third.

    Deeper in the comment thread, one viewer repeated the inquiry, asking “WHY IS 60 MINUTES STILL ON?? It’s big brother time.”

    “Coming here to say the same thing!!!!! Ughhhh!!!!” added a second.

    A third frantically asked, “Why is the episode not airing???”

    Another commenter reaffirmed, “delayed due to golf,” as a fifth complained, “I think golf pushed everything back. I’m pissed.”

    “[CBS’s] stories confirm the delay is due to golf,” mentioned another.

    WHAT’S THE HOLD-UP?

    Further down in the comments, an impatient fan demanded, “I’m tired but need this episode NOW.”

    “Right, I’m a woman with a schedule just for [Big Brother] these golfers need to finish up!!” agreed another.

    One person asked, “Any idea what time it will be on?”

    “CBS network Twitter posted on East Coast won’t be until 10:32pm,” replied a helpful commenter.

    TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES

    Last week, fans were furious after streaming delays led some viewers to miss Thursday’s live eviction vote.

    Many who tuned in via Paramount+ struggled to watch the elimination due to a malfunction during the broadcast.

    Thursday’s episode featured a fierce AI Arena competition followed by a high-stakes elimination.

    However, as the episode aired, numerous fans tuning into the long-running reality TV series had difficulties accessing the show.

    Paramount+ subscribers flocked to X to complain about disruptions in their service during the show.

    The streamer issues caused many viewers to miss the voting and elimination as it aired, despite them paying for live TV access through the platform.

    “@paramountplus why do I pay for live TV when I can’t even watch the shows I want when they’re playing? You need to fix this,” slammed one subscriber who shared a video of what they saw as they attempted to tune in.

    Despite clicking on the live episode of Big Brother Season 26 in the app, a broadcast of the New England Patriots and Jacksonville Jaguars pre-season football game was shown instead.

    Another Paramount+ user posted on social media, “@paramountplus why am I paying to watch a tornado warning instead of the Big Brother live vote [crying emoji].”

    “Hey @paramountplus – if Big Brother is airing in my time zone I should be able to watch on your app that I pay for even if the local network is choosing to play a football game between the two worst teams in the NFL,” slammed a third.

    A fourth fan questioned, “@paramountplus what the F is going on why can’t the DMC area can’t watch Big Brother.”

    Another exclaimed, “@paramountplus I PAY FOR YOUR SERVICE, WHY CAN i not WATCH @cbsbigbrother Online??????”
