On the flip side, Big Brother's first AI twist with Ainsley was a let-down for fans. Not only that, the BB community wasted no time finding Ainsley's real identity ok TikTok.

Let's find out what the fans are saying, and how Ainsley, really known as Cosette on TikTok, has over 2.2 million followers.

Ainsley's From BB26 Is TikToker Cosette, Who Has More Than 2.2 Million Followers

As expected, Big Brother 26 had various twists and turns during its premiere episode. The biggest event took place early on, as contestants had the chance to vote in a new houseguest, by the name of Ainsley. The vote was a close one, but ultimately, Ainsley didn't get the votes needed to enter. It was revealed that it was all a test, and that those who voted no would receive a punishment, while the others could play for a power.

So where did Ainsley come out of? No, not an AI studio. Instead, her real name is Cosette, and she is a viral creator on TikTok with over 2.2 million followers.

Fans on X wasted no time exposing her true identity.

Her latest TikTok came three days ago:

Now it should be noted that Big Brother fans are okay with her inclusion. However, the way it all went down was a bummer according to fans online, given how obvious the twist was.

Fans wrote:

  • "Ainsley's name literally starts with "AI" like c'mon now LOL #bb26."
  • "What in the zeetus lupeetuz...Ainsley definitely gonna be controlled by AI. VOTE NO! #BB26."
  • "This girl is not playing for the money she’s clearly the AI twist no? I don’t get it Julie make it make sense #bb26."
  • "That AI baby blue robot thing is what nightmares are made of #BB26."

Big Brother's premiere expands to two nights, with a follow-up episode set for tonight at 9PM.

Certainly not the reaction CBS and Big Brother were looking for. Still, at least the twist got fans talking...

Reactions To The First Big Brother Episode Twists Were Mixed On X

How did fans react to the rest of the episode? Let's just say it was mixed, to put things nicely. Fans were especially turned off by the new AI features in the house.

Some tweets that deserve a mention:

Among the current cast members, the audience at home is having the most fun with Angela, who is certainly making things interesting in the Big Brother house. It'll be an interesting season, to say the least, with more twists and turns on the way.
