doesn't make me feel good about the season tbh

There HAS to be a catch here!
There has been a lot of hype for this upcoming season on social media after how well the last season was received by younger generations. For CBS to make
absolutely no attempts at promoting or capitalizing on the promo seems very strange to me. Like, there just has to be something, there's no way that they are simply too cheap to fly media in, or were too lazy to have the house being reconstructed in a timely manner. They've been doing this for YEARS - what gives?
Matt mentioned that pre-season coverage will be changing in a big way this year, but told us that it would be for the better. I can't imagine how, but I'm holding out hope.
Matt's other half on WLBB, Brian, posted this on
Jokers:

Brian (formerly of WLBB) checking in. Matt and I handed off responsibilities to someone else to run the website and therefore won't be involved in the interviews. The site is in good hands now. We simply didn't have enough time to keep the website updated. We may assist in future years with interviews if our time allows and if we can be of assistance, but we're taking a break this year.

I still feel like something is up, though. Matt seems really upset and describes the situation as "parting ways," while Brian is acting like they simply didn't have the time. Obviously, CBS isn't forcing them to not run a fansite for their show, but I feel like something happened that turned them off/prevented them from doing interviews. I mean, it only takes 1-2 days to travel and do interviews. This isn't something that would take up all their time, as Brian is making it seem.
Hopefully it's another long season.
