Big Brother USA hit with big delay due to writers' strike
Big Brother USA will premiere a little later than usual this summer.
Now entering its 25th season, with host Julie Chen Moonves on board again, the grandfather of reality television officially returns to CBS on August 2 as opposed to the first week of July.
Entertainment Weekly suggests that this decision from the network could be one of self-preservation in light of the ongoing Writers' Guild of America strike.

A statement regarding Big Brother USA also revealed: "In a special 90-minute episode, Big Brother premieres its milestone 25th season as a group of all-new Houseguests moves into the Big Brother House."
Over on the other side of the Atlantic, Strictly Come Dancing's AJ Odudu and Dance, Dance, Dance's Will Best were announced as the presenters of a long-awaited Big Brother reboot last month.
"I'm so excited to finally be able to say that, yes: I'm hosting Big Brother! I couldn't be happier," commented Odudu. "Following in the footsteps of some of my favourite broadcasting legends to front such an iconic show is an absolute honour – and to do it alongside my amazing friend Will is the icing on the cake."

"It's going back to being real people," Best went on to promise.
"The great thing about Big Brother is it's entertainment, but entertainment with a bit of everything thrown in. The focus of this is, it's going to be an entertainment show, but it's going to be fun and funny with all of that emotion and realness that you get with Big Brother."
Big Brother USA airs on CBS, while the UK reboot will premiere on ITV2.
