The episode will see winners from past seasons return to chat with host Julie Chen Moonves . Big Brother fans learned on Wednesday that the show will air a special episode on Tuesday, August 13, in place of a regular episode.
Per the announcement, past winners Jag Bains, Taylor Hale, and Cody Calafiore will return to look back on big moments from Season 26. There will also be an announcement about a new big twist following the reveal of the AI twist in the premiere episodes . The news was shared on X, formerly Twitter , by a fan account, and fans made their grievances known in the comments.

..? Give us a twist inside," demanded another.
"I won't be watching lmao," laughed a sixth commenter. "They couldn't find any winners with personalities who wanted to return?" questioned a seventh. "Snoozefest," bashed someone else on X.

MAKING CHANGES This isn't the first time CBS has switched up the schedule for Big Brother. The show typically airs on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. When Season 26 began, the show aired Big Brother at 9pm, but suddenly announced that beginning August 1, Thursday episodes would be starting an hour earlier at 8pm.
Wednesday episodes would also be starting at 8pm, while Sunday shows would continue to air at 9pm. On social media , fans expressed their frustration over the schedule changes. "Can we get a consistent schedule? I thought [Thursday's] episode would be on at 9 like the others and I missed it," one wrote.
A second complained, "CBS playing around with the BB schedule every year." FANS WANT ANSWERS This isn't the first time this season that fans have complained about Big Brother . After Lisa Donahue's shocking elimination on August 1, viewers questioned whether the show was staged.
Lisa was blindsided by the other houseguests , sending her packing instead of Angela Murray, whom she believed was going home that week. Lisa and Angela had become rivals by that point and some viewers were ready to see Lisa's "bully" leave the house , while others were excited for her to stick around a little longer. After her elimination, Lisa sat down with Julie, 54, to discuss the blindside and more, and the Big Brother host stunned fans by suggesting Lisa was voted out because she was "too good" at the game.
Fans were shocked by that comment, and immediately began questioning it online. "Why's Julie justifying that maybe she's gone cause she's the better player? Angela won HOH. I'm SO confused.
Is Julie in on it too? Now really wondering if this is in ANY WAY scripted or swayed," one Big Brother viewer wondered. "Okay now Julie, you're hyping Lisa up way too much," complained a second viewer. "Lol casuals Lisa was edited because the house found her annoying not because she was good at the game," posted a third.
"Lisa is 100% gagged asf in this interview...
she did NOT see this coming," wrote a fourth viewer. "I think she feels some kind of way because Angela was 'bullying' her so in a way Lisa could feel like they cosigned the treatment," someone else replied. Other fans were disappointed that Angela was going to be staying in the Big Brother house after picking on Lisa.
Fans spotted her making fun of Lisa in a 24/7 live feed days before the episode aired. Angela later slammed her rival, calling her a "twit" and leaving her in tears. "This is ridiculous! @CBSBigBrother what are you doing keeping a bully in the house?" asked on viewer.
A second fan responded," Soft gameplay is boring." Read More on The US Sun "Yall lisa looks so sad. I am sad.
