\n\t\t<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n\t\t\tWhile Lance Bass considers himself to be a Big Brother superfan, he doesn\u2019t see himself ever competing on the reality show. \u201cI don\u2019t think I would ever do Big Brother, just [because of] the 24\/7 live element,\u201d Bass, 44, said during the Monday, August 28, episode of his \u201cFrosted Tips\u201d podcast. \u201cBecause especially these days, [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Fans of Big Brother<\/em> know all too well that there have been countless controversies surrounding the show over the years. In Behind the Mirror,<\/em> Armstrong recalls the history of Big Brother<\/em>, starting with the show\u2019s early beginnings as an adaptation of the original Netherlands program before becoming the Americanized version fans know today. Armstrong also revisits the show\u2019s countless controversial moments, from ones that fans will recognize from certain episodes to others that never made the final cut.<\/p>\n\u201cThere\u2019s so much learning that you can do through the show. And one of the things that you can learn is the ways that other reality shows might be lying to you that you don\u2019t even realize,\u201d Armstrong exclusively told Us Weekly<\/em> about why the live feeds make Big Brother<\/em> special while discussing his book. \u201cBecause if you at least know the events of the feeds, you don\u2019t need to watch them yourself. This is the main thing that a lot of people feel like, \u2018Well, I\u2019m not interested in the live feeds at all, because that\u2019s way too much, or it might be boring.\u2019 Most people are not watching the feeds. 24\/7, most people are consuming the live feeds through social media or podcasts like mine, where they\u2019re getting an update, sort of day to day, almost like you would a sports league.\u201d<\/p>\n\n![\"Taran](\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Taran-Armstrong-Book-Big-Brother-Expert-Taran-Armstrong-Calls-Live-Feeds-a-Safeguard-in-Book-.jpg?w=1000&quality=86&strip=all\")
