I think we\u2019re all longing for our vacations to get out. It\u2019s beach club meets casino; think Monte Carlo meets Vegas. It\u2019s going to feel like a boutique hotel with a casino vibe. Big Brother has always been about taking chances in high stakes.\u201d And the Vegas vibe won\u2019t stop with the decorating. In fact, season 23 will have the competitors constantly taking a gamble, being presented many opportunities to weigh risk versus reward.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re really leaning into this risk worth versus reward dilemmas,\u201d Meehan says. \u201cThe idea is that they\u2019re going to have to make decisions that we\u2019ve never really seen houseguests playing the <em>Big Brother<\/em> make before.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ew.com\/tv\/big-brother-23-teams-live-premiere-allison-grodner-rich-meehan-interview\/\">Entertainment Weekly<\/a> also spoke to <em>Big Brother<\/em> executive producers Allison Grodner and Rich Meehan, who explained how the teams will be selected, the theme for season 23, and what else to expect on the live premiere, including a tempting offer at the very end.<\/p>\n<p>Allison Grodner told EW, &#8220;Well, the theme this year is the Big Brother Beach Club \u2014 the BB Beach Club. We thought about how we&#8217;ve all spent the past year locked in our houses, and how we&#8217;ve all longed for vacation. We want this year to feel that way. Our houseguests are coming in and going on a bit of a vacation. Think about a beach club meets Vegas meets Monte Carlo.
