The season premiere of Off the Block with Ross and Marissa is on June 29. As revealed in the summer 2018 schedule, that’s two days after the CBS season premiere. Each evicted houseguest will go from the BB20 house over to the Facebook show, rather than going straight home. As a result, it can serve as a continuation of the post-eviction chat they typically have with Julie Chen.
