In the 21st season, the new contestants are: Holly Allen, David Alexander, Nicole Anthony, Tommy Bracco, Kathryn Dunn, Kemi Faknule, and Cliff Hogg III. Big Brother follows a group of people living together in a house outfitted with 94 HD cameras and 113 microphones, recording their every move 24 hours a day. Each week someone is voted out of the house. The last remaining Houseguest wins the grand prize of $500,000.

Telly’s Take
Will CBS cancel or renew Big Brother for season 22? Despite falling ratings over the years, it is still one of the best rated summer series on CBS. So, barring catastrophe, Big Brother will not be cancelled. Still, I’ll keep an eye on the Nielsens and update this page, as more ratings dating rolls in.

Pop culture should get the info first. It said at midnight two days ago it cancelled, than at noon the same day say it going on as planned. I just saw it now so they were side by side.
Big brother Canada fans needs to stop giving Jamar money. They kicked Jamar off for saying to Kyle “you’re going to get pop outside this house”. And Kyle said ” I can snap him to in 57 pieces”. They give Jamar $5,130 because they both made theaths but he made his first so they only kicked him off. Now that they kicked Kyle off too they should stop giving Jamar money he needs to be treated fairly was his point both are kicked out so he only deciver the cash he reached at that point. The $5,130
Okso it end when the show get stop at $5,625 hope he injoys the extra $495.
I hope Big Brother will be on it’s the best summer show I love the competitions
We pray your show Big Brother will never be canceled !!! My husband. & I have been watching the show from day one !!! All 21 years & have never missed a show !!! We love it. We are in our Late 60 ‘s and find the show funny & alot of fun !!! The BEST !!!! ALOT OF FAMILY & FRIENDS WILL AGREE !!! THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK !!!!
Please don’t cancel Big Brother because this is the best show ever!! Me and my family be waiting every summer and every winter for celebrity big brother. This the only time I watch television. It’s very entertaining, fun and full of laughter.
They should make better casting decisions. The last season that I really enjoyed was Shelby, Morgan and crew. Each season the cast gets worse.
Big Brother producers find the most loathsome people on in the US to appear on this show. It’s not a game. It’s psychosis out of control
I wish that they would have more older contestants instead of one.
They need some more mature players that can think strategically instead of showmances and people who know each other. This has been the worst season.
Who is still watching this mess?
Me this is not a fight just saying i do-
Yes the show should be renewed. CBS has made a grave mistake by putting it on Sunday evenings since this evening is 99.99% of the time, time shifted by sports events. Having a DVR and recording the next hour is helpful. Please switch Big Brother back to its traditional nights, unless you (CBS) are trying to kill it as well as piss off the audience it has always had
