The Big Brother Live Feeds went down early Friday morning (house time) but didn’t return as the day progressed.
This led to many fans sharing theories about what had happened, including worries that someone had said something inappropriate.
With the introduction of the Big Brother Instigator, it was also possible that the feeds were down simply so the production team could film segments.
As the hours ticked by (feeds were down seven hours at the publishing of this post), fans became concerned that something happened with one of the houseguests.
And a specific clip shared online has some folks fearing it could be race-related.
Below are some fan theories and clips from the Live Feeds that may hint at a reason for the Live Feeds to be down. Consider all of this conjecture until we hear from the producers.
Be aware that there are also spoilers below about what happened with the Thursday night Head of Household Competition.
An important chat between T’Kor Clotty and Rubina on the feeds
Chelsie Baham was crying on the Big Brother Live Feeds shortly before a conversation between T’Kor Clottey and Rubina Bernabe.
Below is a Live Feeds clip where T’Kor asks Rubina about what’s happening.
Rubina alludes to it being someone saying something. T’kor asks if it was “inappropriate” and Rubina responds it was.
T’Kor then asks if it was about race, and Rubina confirms.
Did someone say something? Or is the Instigator at work already?
A fan weighed in with thoughts about why the Live Feeds are down. They pointed out the troubles with speculation that can run rampant when the producers go silent.
“Production cutting feeds when things get problematic is so dumb. now everyone’s aware but with limited information so it’s all become speculation… which is causing more discourse. clowns #BB26,” the fan wrote.
Another post took it one step further when addressing production.
“Production: We’ll just turn the feeds off and let rumors & speculation run rampant. What could go wrong? #bb26,” the fan posted.
One fan suggested that Chelsie was upset about a conversation she had been having with Cam. It was a post in defense of Leah Peters. Earlier, some social media users suggested the feeds were down due to something Leah said.
“‘Did you tell her what tucker said?’ and then cam right aftor mentions they need to bring leah in as a number. the facts are in front of your eyes but yall hate leah so much that you’re running with a narrative that makes no sense #bb26,” the fan wrote.
