Cody Calafiore steps into the jury roundtable host role for Big Brother 27
What is the Jury Roundtable on Big Brother 27?
The Big Brother final episode includes a jury roundtable, a pre-recorded segment, where evicted houseguests are given a forum to review and discuss the finalists' performances. Generally, they analyze the specific moves, argue the effectiveness of different strategies, and give a glimpse of their eventual vote.
The show has been part of several seasons, and the jury members' last votes are usually cast immediately after its broadcast. The audience is thus enabled to understand how the season's choices are assessed by those players who were competitively engaged.
Cody Calafiore takes over hosting duties
Julie Chen revealed the news that Cody Calafiore will be the host of the jury roundtable for season 27. He takes over from Taylor Hale, who was the host of the jury roundtable for season 24, and before her, Dr. Will Kirby was the host of the segment for the earlier seasons.
In a recent interview on Big Brother’s official Instagram, Cody Calafiore was asked about his role as the Jury Roundtable host for season 27, where he shared:
"It means the world. It's something that I never really imagined myself doing. So to be here hosting the jury roundtable is like surreal for me a little bit. I think I'll channel my inner Taylor and Dr. Will and bring out my own little flair. So I'm excited."
According to Parade reports, the hosting position may be a rotating one, with former champions or notable former players taking turns to lead the discussion.
