It just wouldn’t be summer without the Big Brother TV show. It’ll keep helping to fill the CBS primetime schedule fo awhile since it’s already been renewed for next year. How will the ratings be this summer? Up, down, or about the same? Stay tuned.
Hosted by Julie Chen, Big Brother typically airs three nights a week — Wednesdays (veto), Thursdays (eviction), and Sundays. This time around, the contestants are Audrey Middleton, Austin Matelson, Becky Burgess, Clay Honeycutt, Da’Vonne Rogers, Jace Agolli, James Huling, Jason Roy, John McGuire, Liz Nolan, Meg Maley, Shelli Poole, Steve Moses, and Vanessa Rousso.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show’s likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — typically around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.

something needs to be done with “big brother” on cbs in the USA. this show has so much interference from production. production with some credibility. its not even worth watching the edited show – its nothing like the real show on feeds.
CBS get new production team that is creative and interesting.pls pls pl;s pls get someone new for casting….this getting worse and worse every year!!!
Cancel it every year it gets worse. Its time move on. I can’t even finish this season and last season with that freak fame ho Frankie was too sickening to even watch it so that’s 2 seasons now not even worth watching. Be Done….
I only watched the 1st episode and the 2nd episode up to the point when they revealed Audrey was a dude..promptly stopped the show and deleted from the DVR and I haven’t watched it since. I’m Bruce/Caitlyn Jennered out as it is.
I love BB and have watched from the beginning, however this year’s cast is a waste of time to watch. What happened to their selection this year?
I love the show but this years cast appears to be a little boring. I’m waiting for it to get exciting.
who do you think will be the first one thrown out of the house?
