CBS is beefing up its S.W.A.T. team ahead of its Nov. 2 premiere, promoting guest-star David Lim to a full-fledged series regular. The Quantico vet — who plays nascent S.W.A.T officer Victor Tan — was an 11th hour addition to the rookie drama’s cast.
“A couple weeks before shooting began, our pilot director Justin Lin felt the S.W.A.T. team needed one more member to feel complete. Justin, Aaron Rahsaan Thomas and I remembered David Lim, who had really impressed us in an audition for a different role. We quickly created the role of Victor Tan and were lucky enough to cast David,...

Paul has been in control of nearly every aspect of Big Brother 19, but Josh is catching on and seems ready and willing to take a shot. What happened with this week's Power of Veto and who will be evicted in fifth place? More importantly, will they join the Revengers since the last three fifth place finishers (Victor, Austin and Frankie) were all in the trailer?

We're one week away from the finale of Big Brother 18 and tonight we learn which three HGs will battle it out for the win. After Victor was evicted, Paul became the new HoH, ensuring his spot in the Final 3. But the nominations, Power of Veto and live eviction will decide whether Nicole, Corey or James follows in the footsteps of Johnny Mac and Beastmode Cowboy out the door in fourth place.

It's the final Power of Veto of Big Brother 18. Following Victor's eviction and Paul's HoH win, the Final 4 competed for the most important PoV ever. The line is clearly drawn in the sand, so if Paul or James win it, then James gets to vote out Nicole or Corey. If Nicole or Corey win it, they most likely evict James. So who won it?

Previously on Big Brother, Victor became HoH and the Final Four alliance nominated James and Natalie for eviction. The Veto competition saw a shameless promotion of CBS’s new show “MacGyver” in which the houseguests had to escape a series of rooms in the shortest amount of time. Natalie set the bar high by escaping the […]

It's the most important competition of the season on Big Brother 18. After Victor was evicted (again), he returned to the house with Paulie, Bridgette, Zakiyah and Da'Vonne to compete for the chance to come back into the game. They began a battle of endurance not just for a second (or third) chance, but also for HoH, competing against Nicole, Corey, Paul and James. The last juror standing is back in the game and the winner (juror or Hg) will be the new HoH.

For the second time this season, an evicted houseguest from Big Brother 18 will be returning to the game. One of the four current members of jury (joined by either Victor or Corey) will compete for the chance to re-enter the game in a second Battle Back competition.
This new twist, which is really just an extension of an old one, is more than just extending Big Brother 18 out for another possible week. It could really shake up the entire game and very well be the deciding factor in who eventually wins the entire game. We've ranked the evicted houseguests on whose return would shake up the house the most and who we'd like to see come back. ...

Natalie has been a very interesting player in Big Brother 18. Though she appears for all intents and purpose to be the consummate floater, Natalie has repeatedly shown to have much more game savvy than her bubbly personality would initially suggest. Natalie's biggest problem in Big Brother 18 hasn't been a plethora of stupid moves. It's been that she hasn't been a position to make any moves.
In week 9, it finally happened however. Natalie won Head of Household and though she shares responsibilities with Michelle, so far Natalie has been in the real place of power. Unfortunately, Natalie's first real big power move might have inadvertently sunk her own game. Has Natalie ruined her chances at winning Big Brother 18 by targeting Victor and Paul? ...

You may be paying more attention to announcements at San Diego Comic-Con or the unpredictable thrills of Donald Trump's Republican National Convention. But if you are reading this in the archives, you already know that the most important event of this historical month in July, 2016 was Big Brother 18's Battle Back Week. Five houseguests who have already been kicked out of the game will get an opportunity to win their way back into the house. Pretty exciting. We have Glenn, Jozea, Victor, Bronte and a fifth houseguest to be determined tonight, most likely Tiffany, although my predictions have been wrong before. Can you see why I don't want to drive to Comic-Con and party with my close friends? And miss this? Let me tell you the best two...

It's another live eviction on Big Brother 18, but this one is quite different. The HGs don't yet know that the Battle Back competition is here and soon either Glenn, Jozea, Victor, Bronte or the person evicted tonight will return to the game. Even though some people in the house have speculated about a pre-jury buyback, the reality of it will surely shake some things up.

As we’ve seen on Big Brother, big alliances rarely stick together until the end. With so many personalities, people are bound to clash leading to the drama that Big Brother always delivers. For the Eight Pack, this happened sooner rather than later, with cracks already beginning to form in this alliance only three weeks into the season. At the head of these cracks are Tiffany and Frank, both of whom are somewhat confrontational and stubborn when it comes to what they think. The plan all week was to evict Victor and while the house followed through on this, Tiffany might

The drama and tension are high on Big Brother 18, but not for this week's live eviction. HoH Paulie backdoored Victor as his target, but Da'Vonne is cooking up a scheme to maybe send Tiffany home instead. However, the real excitement will be what happens after the eviction since everyone in the house is ready to play the game and make big moves.

In the early weeks of the game, backdoor plans usually work out, especially when it comes to taking out strong guys. James did it to Jace last year. Derrick did it to Devin in season 16. And Helen and Elissa did it to Jeremy in season 15. Now Paulie has the same plan for Victor on Big Brother 18 and despite a whole lot of Tiffany drama and paranoia, it looks like another successful backdoor.

Before Jozea's eviction, the Big Brother 18 audience knew that the house was firmly divided. After Jozea's eviction, everyone inside the house is in on the worst-kept secret. The line is clearly drawn between the 8-Pack and everyone else. The war has started, and the newbies are losing.
It turns out that losing Jozea wasn't just a blow to the newbie alliance in terms of numbers. The newbie alliance needed Jozea because he distracted from the extraordinary stupidity of the core trio of the newbie alliance: Paul, Bronte and Victor.

Celebrity Big Brother fans could be forgiven for feeling a bit of déjà vu when Chloe Jasmine strolled into the house - and not just because she was in The X Factor.
In fact, she's been in the CBB house before, performing backing vocals for Celebrity Big Brother 2006 winner Chantelle Houghton as a member of fictional girl group Kandy Floss during the show's wrap party.

Chloe Jasmine (in the orange skirt) certainly seemed to get into the performance of track 'I Want It Right Now', although it didn't exactly help her when she auditioned for The X Factor for the first time later that year.
Chantelle entered the Celebrity Big Brother house in 2006 with a mission to convince her celebrity housemates that she was a member of Kandy Floss, before 're-forming' the group for Ultimate Big Brother with housemates Victor Ebuwa and Nadia Almada.

But which housemate came across favourably, and who really had a day to forget? Read on for our daily verdict on all the action.
Good Day
Danny Wisker
Danny probably didn't feel like he had a great day, but his stock can only have risen after yesterday's dramatic highlights.
Firstly, he backed up Cristian during an awkward confrontation with Marc, in which the Irishman accused Cristian of not being himself in the past couple of days. Danny made the valid point that Cristian had been heavily criticised for being "boring" previously. Now that Cristian's come out of his shell a little, he's been accused of being fake. It's almost like Cristian can't win with Marc.
Then there was that argument with Helen.

Ex-Big Brother contestant Victor Ebuwa has tweeted his reaction to Helen Wood's comments about him on tonight's episode.
Victor headed back into the house for a brief visit earlier this week and warned Marc O'Neill to stay away from Helen.
When Marc told others about Victor's comments, Helen angrily called Victor a "cokehead" and started rowing with Danny Wisker who lost his temper and was told by Big Brother to calm down.
Having seen Helen's remarks about him, Victor indicated on Twitter tonight that he would start legal proceedings against her with the message: "Can somebody say - Defamation Of Character Thanks. Helen, you just spent your appearance fee on me."

Big Brother does love a twist, so this Friday three former housemates will be returning to join the 'fake evictee' in a Secret Lair. And goodness, did that spark some conversations at DS Towers about who should return!
Of course, some of our picks have been on Ultimate Big Brother, but we're going to ignore that (we're not sure it's canon when Ulrika Jonsson can be dubbed an 'ultimate' housemate, to be honest). And while there are obviously plenty of amazing contestants from years gone by, we couldn't choose them all. But below are just some of our choices for Friday's big twist - let us know who you want to throw back in!

Last week, Channel 5 put out a press release revealing in shocked tones that for the first time ever, the show's daytime repeat would be pulled because of an "explosive" row - which ended up being a quite unpleasant tiff between Danielle and Helen, but not anything we haven't seen before in that famous house.
But go back ten years today - yes, ten years - and you'd hit on Big Brother 5 in 2004. And in just a few hours, the return of two housemates from a secret bedsit would be about to spark one of the biggest confrontations we've ever seen on television. Live.
Fight Night became a moment of television history. Big Brother had already pushed the boundaries with its novel concept, 24-hour live streaming and mix of housemates, but it was on June 16, 2004 that things changed. Was this exploitation? Bad planning? Tasteless? Or was it fascinating? Compelling? Horrifying?...

This series of Celebrity Big Brother - it's fair to say - has been something of a triumph. A strong line-up, plenty of booze and a genuinely interesting love triangle (who knew Lee Ryan was such a dog?) have contributed to episodes that have honestly counted as must-see TV (and have provided plenty of watercooler moments, too).
The show's producers must be giggling with delight after the success of the show, which critics are saying is the best series for ages (it helps that there have been horny housemates, Jim Davidson putting everyone off omelettes for life and Evander Holyfield dancing to 'Men in Black').
But that doesn't mean we can't have our niggles, and so when Big Brother announced earlier this week that there would be a fake eviction and a secret house, it's fair to say that groans echoed around our living room.

Worst Excuse: After Aaryn Gries was booted from Big Brother, she was questioned by the Chenbot about her racist and homophobic comments. Her response was to basically use the Paula Deen offense: “In Texas, we say things that are sometimes… we joke and we don’t mean it. I feel bad that this is how it came across and how I’m being seen.” In other words: This is so ingrained into my personality that I don’t even know I’m doing it. And that, kids, is racism in its purist form.

It was like a who’s who of famous Bb faces from years gone by and we had quite a lot of fun spotting and naming some of our favourite (and also most annoying) housemates.
We have compiled most of them in a list below, though we know there are some names missing, so feel free to leave a comment below if you can identify any more.
The video starts out with Makosi on the phone and leads into various cast members dancing and miming to an adaptation of David Guetta’s popular dance track – When Love Takes Over renamed When Bruv Takes Over and at the end, as all the Bb stars gathered in what looked like a massive field, Marcus Bentley exclaimed:

Marcus Bentley has revealed that he has made the leap to Channel 5 and will continue to do all voice-over work on the new Big brother series.
The 43 year old broadcaster and voice-over artist has narrated the reality TV show ever since it started in 2000 and we had our suspicions that he would be following the format to Channel 5, when he announced that he was leaving Channel 4 last week.
This morning, just hours after it was confirmed that Brian Dowling and Emma Willis would be this year’s Bb presenters, Marcus took to Twitter once more to reveal:
Right guys! I’ve waited since April to say this … So here goes, I Am The Voice Of Big Brother!
Bentley has started work on Bb already, and explained that today he was travelling to his new office, to start working on a new ad which will promote the celebrity version of the show,...

Victor Ebuwa has left Ultimate Big Brother, finishing in fourth place.
Victor followed Nick Bateman, Samuel Preston and Ulrika Jonsson as they left the house on tonight’s final Bb show.
The original “slick man” Victor was notoriously involved in the now infamous Fight Night during Big Brother 5, when he had a huge argument with fellow housemate Emma and was given a formal warning about his behavior.
However, since returning to this Ultimate series, Vic has been more laid back, more fun and developed a serious bromance with the once nasty but not quite nice Nick.
We had hoped that Victor would at least make the final two, but those spots are now reserved for Chantelle, Nikki or Brian.

Brian Dowling may be the bookies favourite to win tonight’s Ultimate Big brother final but housemate Victor Ebuwa has other ideas.
The ‘Slick Man’ admitted yesterday that he is hoping his new Bff ‘Nasty’ Nick Batemen will take the crown. In a conversation with the former cheat, Victor said:
‘I’m rooting for you man, well obviously I’m rooting for myself too!’
‘But if I go before you, I will talk you up mate trust me. I don’t know if it will make any difference but I will talk you up, because I think you should be in the last two with Brian really.’
On how he thinks his other housemates should finish, Victor continued:
Nikki is real, she’s a good girl and I love her but she hasn’t been the Nikki that got her here. Some people have been too subdued. I’m not going to bad mouth Chantelle,...

Michelle Bass has become the fourth person to be evicted from the Ultimate Big Brother house. She received 39.3% of the total votes cast.
Michelle’s fiancée revealed earlier today that he couldn’t wait to see the BB5 star, because he has planned a surprise wedding for her later this month. So life isn’t all bad for the glamour model.
Unlike Makosi and Nadia who left last week, Michelle emerged to a cheering crowd, with barely a boo to be heard. In her exit interview with Davina McCall Michelle revealed that she wasn’t upset to be nominated and denied Ulrika Jonsson’s claims that she is ‘disingenuous’ ……. even though she didn’t know what it meant!
Bass will be remembered for: yet another amazing rendition of Pie Jesu in front of the Big Brother audience, being one member of ‘witch soup’ with Makosi and Nadia, refusing to utter...

Today The Tree of Temptation set Victor a task to get his fellow housemates to say bitchy comments about each other and record it on a dictaphone.
Victor failed his secret mission after he exposed that he was on a task from the tree and was told by the gnarly chest of drawers he would definitely incur the wrath.
And shortly Big Brother will deliver the wrath in the form of a tasting task…
Victor has to sample a variety of unusual foods from around the globe and guess what they are and where they’re from.
The delightful dishes Victor faces are:
Fermented herring from Sweden
Fermented bean curd from China
Cow urine from India
1000 year old egg from China
Civet coffee from the Phillipines
Chicken feet from South Africa and China
Colon sausage from France
Durian (fruit) from Malaysia
Bitter melon from Malaysia
The task will take place...

This morning the Tree has reared his ugly drawers yet again and has set Victor a mission: to try and provoke his Housemates into bitching and snitching about each other.
The Tree has provided Victor with a dictaphone to help him record his Housemates’ comments, and he has one hour to do this. This time there is no reward, Victor is merely doing it for the love.
