Big Brother 20: Most popular houseguest creating buzz with fans
By Ryan Gamble
Big Brother 20 debuts on June 27, but fans are already debating about the new houseguests. That includes a poll to determine who is the most popular houseguest as they start playing the game.
Big Brother 20’s most popular houseguest, at least according to a June 23 poll, is Winston Hines. A medical sales rep from Kentucky, Winston is already impressing fans with his approach to the game. Prior to Saturday, though, Sam Bledsoe was leading the way in this particular poll. A welder from Virginia, the 27-year-old Bledsoe is one to watch this summer.
The far too early BB20 cast popularity poll
Fan website Joker’s Updates allows viewers of the show to vote daily on their favorite houseguests. It is something that the site has been doing for a number of years and that has continued with the new Big Brother 20 cast.
The summer 2018 poll has now been up for six days. Through the first five days, Sam Bledsoe was at the top of the poll, closely followed by Winston Hines at No. 2. On Day 6, though, Winston took a slight lead over Sam. Those numbers could change pretty quickly if more fans place their votes on the weekend.
Other houseguests who have been in the top five include Kaycee Clark, Angela Rummans, Rachel Swindler, Tyler Crispen, and Scottie Salton. These are certainly the houseguests to watch when the show finally gets started, but the early impressions aren’t based on gameplay. That will come later.
Updated Big Brother 20 schedule
As previously reported by Inside the BB House, CBS has revealed the full 2018 summer schedule. That includes the introduction of a new recap show that will air on Fridays. Called Off the Block with Ross and Marissa, it will include interviews of recently evicted houseguests. Big Brother: After Dark also returns to its nightly time slot on Pop. But, it all gets started with the Big Brother 20 season premiere on June 27.

Social media is buzzing a lot about the BB20 cast, and these popularity polls are fun to enjoy. The real test, though, will be when the season gets started. A lot of fan opinions will get formed by the CBS live feeds, where houseguests will show their true selves to the online viewers. Will Winston Hines and Sam Bledsoe remain the most popular Big Brother 20 houseguests at that point?
