CBS does not announce the cast until a week before the premiere (which is also the same day the houseguests move in)
It is impossible for a cast to ever be leaked also (unless ppl return) bc they sequester more people than they take in, and literally don't make the final decision until the day they move them in to the house

lmao this isn't true because they film their key findings prior to them moving into the house, that's how we knew that paulie and tiffany were on BB18
they always have backups but they make the cast decision prior to move-in day
Okay but they film more than they need?
Like when they swapped Mike "What did I get myself into?" guy for Joe last minute in BB14
Frank was also held till the move in day in a previous season and wasn't taken in
but like obviously when they recruit a really fucking obvious person they had to ask like a returning player or someone's God damn sibling its not gonna change....like literally NO SHIT
