The Big Brother 22 All-Stars house tour has finally been revealed by CBS and it showcases three themed bedrooms, a redesigned living room, and a splattered paint street mural that surrounds the kitchen. For months, fans have been eagerly awaiting any updates concerning the upcoming All-Stars season of Big Brother. Originally, BB22 was delayed due to concerns regarding the spread of COVID-19. After a long wait, CBS announced that the season is scheduled to begin on Wednesday, August 5th.
Unlike previous years, CBS has been especially secretive about this upcoming season. In fact, for the first time in history, the Big Brother houseguests will not be announced until the season premiere's live move-in. Rumors regarding possible castmembers have inundated the internet over the last week, but the network has stuck to its strategy of holding onto as much information as possible until the season actually begins. With so little time to go until the first episode, fans were starting to worry that they would also not get to see the new Big Brother house until the live premiere. However, just two days prior to the Big Brother 22 move-in, CBS has officially released a tour of the All-Stars house that fans will be monitoring for the coming months.
The House
As narrated by Julie Chen in the video above, the Big Brother house has been completely refurbished for the show's second-ever All-Stars edition. According to Julie, the house has 94 HD cameras and 113 microphones that will capture the BB22 houseguests like never before. According to the footage released by CBS, the house has three themed bedrooms and a kitchen that features a splattered paint street mural on its walls. Moreover, the house has a "showmance"-themed lounge and an art-filled living room.
Upstairs, the house features an industrial bridge that overlooks the living room and the kitchen. At the end of this bridge, houseguests will find a space that contains warehouse windows, a daytime bed, and two accent chairs. When it comes to the backyard, executive producer Allison Grodner revealed to EW that the houseguests will be in for a few surprises. Specifically, Allison claims the production team has figured out "a creative solution where maybe the Big Brother yard is its own world."
The Comic Bedroom
The Big Brother 22 All-Stars house will have three themed bedrooms. One of them, which is called The Comic Bedroom, features former houseguests depicted as comic book superheroes on its walls. The featured houseguests include Jordan Lloyd (BB11 and BB13), Rachel Reilly (BB12 and BB13), Frank Eudy (BB14 and BB18), Amber Borzotra (BB16), Frankie Grande (BB16), Devin Shepherd (BB16), Steve Moses (BB17), Vanessa Rousso (BB17), Jessica Graf (BB19), Faysal Shafaat (BB20), Angela Rummans (BB20), and Chris Williams a.k.a. Swaggy C (BB20), among others. The Comic Bedroom also features custom printed duvet covers with comic book action words like "BAM!", frames that intertwine like a spider web, and even 3D-printed decorative objects that complement the sci-fi theme.
The Photo Bedroom
The Photo Bedroom will be located in the back of the Big Brother 22 house. Because the theme for this bedroom is photography, the entire room is filled with 45 cameras that are 35 millimeters wide. As such, it is safe to say that fans will be able to get footage from every possible angle in this bedroom, which is very on-brand for Big Brother. Houseguests will also find 127 black-and-white photos hanging from the wires on the walls. These images are still frames from some of the most memorable moments in the show's 20-year history.
The Key Bedroom
On Big Brother 22, the house's side bedroom is called The Key Bedroom. As explained by Julie Chen in the reveal footage, this bedroom "celebrates a major symbol of the game, the Big Brother key." The room's padded leather walls are broken up by columns that mimick the shape of a cut silhouette key. On the white brick walls, houseguests will also find 41 framed Big Brother keys, which are a reminder that only one player can win the game.
The Head of Household Suite
The BB22 house has the sleekest and most elegant Head of Household Suite in the history of the show. The suite features a city skyline on its ceiling, grain stain wood columns, and a very comfortable king-size bed that faces a wide velvet blue sofa. The HOH suite's bathroom mixes wood furniture with blue walls, and it includes a large sink and bathtub.
The Bathroom
This season, the bathroom is all about the famous Big Brother rubber ducks. Specifically, there are hundreds of yellow rubber ducks decorating the bathroom's walls. Over the shower doors, there are also two illustrations of rubber ducks. Elsewhere in the bathroom sits a yellow couch, where houseguests will be able to wait for their turn to take a shower or perhaps even talk strategy with the fellow players.
The Living Room
The most attention-grabbing element featured in the BB22 living room is a massive four-part mural containing 1,152 illuminated pegs. Other living room walls are decorated with different types of star-themed artwork, such as wooden stars that were crafted by hand and tin signs containing colorful stars. Spread across the room, houseguests will find a beautiful and chic chess set and a pick-up stick sculpture. Moreover, the hallway walls that connect the downstairs floor feature various spray paint can sculptures, which were made by an artist from Croatia.
The Kitchen
The kitchen is surrounded by a splattered paint street mural that pays homage to some of the best moments in Big Brother history. Those moments include "Dan's funeral," Dr. Will's stint as the "puppet master," Derrick's "undercover" strategy, Rachel's iconic "grab a life vest" quote, and Danielle's diary room "devil horns." The kitchen, which has a new lighted ceiling piece, is also decorated by floating shelves and features a wide kitchen island at the very center. Elsewhere sits the dining table, where the houseguests will not only eat but also unveil the HOH nominations on a weekly basis.
The Lounge
The theme of this year's lounge is Big Brother showmances. As such, the lounge was designed to look romantic and celebrate some of the most memorable couples of seasons past. For instance, the walls on the lounge feature LED-lit hearts and heart-shaped furniture. Moreover, houseguests will be able to cuddle with pillows that were monogrammed with some of the most beloved Big Brother showmances of all time. The pillows include monikers such as "Tangela," "Brenchel," "Jody," and "Swayleigh," as well as couples like "Jeff and Jordan" and "Dani and Dom."
