Summary

- The season premiere featured a time travel and Jurassic Period theme.
- Former reality stars competed, with one exiting unexpectedly.
The Season 28 premiere of Big Brother, which aired on July 9th, featured a dramatic and unexpected twist involving former reality show contestant Rachel Reilly. The episode embraced a time travel theme, transporting the new houseguests to the Jurassic Period.
During a challenge designed to select the first Head of Household, Reilly, along with Angela Murray and Rick Devens, participated. However, the event took a chaotic turn when a velociraptor emerged and pushed Reilly into an erupting volcano, immediately eliminating her from the game.
This unprecedented event was deemed "the most unexpected season premiere in the history of Big Brother" by host Julie Chen Moonves. While Reilly's exit was confirmed, Chen Moonves promised a replacement, later revealed to be Dee Valladares from Survivor. The premiere's unusual nature drew criticism but also defended by former houseguest Frankie Grande as part of the show's charm.
