Matt Roush says...
Adopting an “Artificial Intelligence” theme for its 26th season, the reality show that’s a harbinger of summer’s leisure time welcomes 16 new houseguests into a world where cameras capture their every move and unfiltered thought. One twist: the newbies have an opportunity to vote in a 17th player. Launching with a two-night premiere (continuing Thursday), the regular weekly schedule includes original episodes on Sundays, Wednesdays and Thursdays (9/8c), with host Julie Chen Moonves returning to lead the live eviction show.
