TV show description:
The Big Brother in this series is the television cameras that are focused on a group of people, for the most part strangers, living together in a house. The series began in the Netherlands and different versions have gone on to be created and broadcast in nearly 70 countries. Julie Chen hosts the U.S. version.
The contestants are referred to as “houseguests.” They live in the Big Brother house which is built in a studio lot. The houseguests are locked in the house, not allowed to leave for any reason, and are blocked from reading or watching television, not having any idea what’s going on in the outside world. It’s all filmed 24/7 and broadcast on the Internet, with the edited version appearing on CBS.
The houseguests compete in challenges with the winner becoming “Head of Household” and being allowed to stay in a special bedroom suite for the week. This person nominates and marks two houseguests for possible elimination. The housemates then compete in a “power of veto” challenge. Whoever wins then has the power to veto one of the elimination nominations. Someone new must be nominated or they can leave the nominations the same.
At the end of the week, the two nominated houseguests face the others in the house. Everyone, aside from these two and the Head of Household, votes on who will be eliminated. In case of a tie, the Head of Household breaks it. After Julie Chen counts the votes, the eliminated houseguest has a matter of seconds to leave the house.
The last person that stays in the house the longest wins $500,000.
Nobody is watching it !
Love big brother! Been watching since season 1 episode 1 this season -23 is absolutely amazing love the house guest and the cookout! Hoping for more seasons like this .
The failure of Big Brother’s season: in my opinion the cookout ruined the big brother season to advance a specific agenda. It allowed strong players to stay until the bitter end by insuring them 6 votes to stay, Xavier a very strong player, surely would have been voted out many times already, and I certainly do not think an attorney would deserve 750K when it would make such a difference to some of the other young players without such a professional career to rely on. It prevented other players from staying in the game which was unfair to them, there… Read more »
This show is so ridiculous ! It’s a wasted air time! These show takes presidents over actual shows that was nice to set down and watch that’s been cancelled. You see enough crazyness on the news then to set down and watch more crazyness during prime time it’s a waste.
Just pure trash..no redeeming qualities. It use to be a good show until like season 4 and steadily gone to pot.
Yes all the reality shows has got to the point that it’s just a bunch of bad acting going on. I think I had rather watch the news.
