Big Brother (American TV series)

Updated: 12/20/2025, 12:02:57 PM Wikipedia source

Big Brother is an American reality competition television show based on the Dutch show of the same name created by producer John de Mol Jr. and Ron Diesel in 1997. The American series launched on July 5, 2000, on CBS and since the discontinuation of the Spanish version in 2022, is the longest-running adaptation in the Big Brother franchise. The show broadly follows the premise of other versions, in which a group of contestants, known as "houseguests", live together in a specially constructed house that is isolated from the outside world and compete for a cash prize of $750,000 ($500,000 prior to season 23). The houseguests are continuously monitored during their stay by live television cameras as well as personal audio microphones. Throughout the course of the competition, houseguests are "Evicted" from the House, eliminating them from the game. In its inaugural season (which followed the original Dutch format in which audience voting determined evictees and the eventual winner), ratings declined, and critical reaction grew increasingly negative, prompting the series to be revamped for the second season, which focused on competition and gameplay. The show's twenty-seventh season premiered on July 10, 2025, serving as the show's 25-year anniversary season.
