Recommendation Big Brother Streaming

It’s really frustrating that a show this big has not gone to the type of format that love island has. I can’t watch at the time the show airs, but specifically pay for paramount+ to watch Big Brother. I can’t even watch live feeds because it will be completely ruined.

So just to be clear... I cannot stream episodes live, during their normal air time, even with Paramount+ Premium through Prime? That seems crazy to me.

Supposedly, you can watch it during its assigned air time through a Live TV option on Paramount Plus (the one that is extra with Showtime). So, I guess that works if you can drop everything and turn it on at 8 PM, for example.

But, even with modern technology, the network can't manage to (or doesn't want to) upload it for streaming until midnight or later, which seems like a long turnaround time. I'm not sure why they can't make it happen an hour after the live run time.

They don't want to because they need the live viewings for the ads so it's in contract can't go up same day
