For the most recent season, see Big Brother 8 (US).

Template:Big Brother US sidebar Big Brother is a reality television series broadcast in the United States and Canada on CBS and Global respectively. The premise of the gameshow is for contestants to live in isolation from the outside world in a custom-built house. The winner is the last contestant remaining in the house at the end of the series as participants are evicted by their fellow "HouseGuests". The winner receives $500,000 and the runner-up receives $50,000. The name for the show comes from George Orwell's 1949 novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, a dystopia in which Big Brother exercises total control over the population. The live shows are hosted by Julie Chen and the recap shows are announced by Clayton Halsey. The show premiered on CBS on July 5, 2000, just a few weeks after the debut of Survivor. It is produced by Endemol USA with Allison Grodner Productions.

Main series

For all seasons, eviction night is hosted by veteran television journalist and television personality, Julie Chen, wife of CBS President Les Moonves and co-host of the network's The Early Show. In the first season (2000), Chen was widely ridiculed in the media for her wooden delivery, stilted interaction with the studio audience, weak interviews with evictees on the live programs, and her overuse of the phrase "But first..." This led fans to affectionately dub her "the Chenbot", a moniker which Chen is aware of and readily accepts.[1][2]

The announcer played an active role in the first season introducing every scene, but with the major changes to the program after the initial season, the announcer was relegated to the opening and closing of each episode. There have been several different announcers throughout the years. Past announcers include Dave Walsh (season one),[3] Chuck Riley (season two),[4] and Phil Proctor (seasons 3-6 ).[5] The current announcer is Clayton Halsey[6] and has been the announcer since season seven.

Format

The format has changed since the series began in 2000. The format for season one was radically different than the format used in following seasons. The format for season one was similar to international versions of Big Brother. In the first season each HouseGuest would individually go to the Diary Room and nominate two fellow HouseGuests for banishment.[7] (The term "eviction" was not used until season two.) The two or more HouseGuests with the most nominations are then revealed to the House and were "Marked for Banishment",[7] and the public was invited to vote for who they wish to evict by calling a premium rate telephone number.[7] The HouseGuest who received the greatest percentage of the public vote was evicted. When there were three HouseGuests left the public would vote for the winner.[7]

Beginning with the second season the HouseGuests compete for Head of Household or HoH. The Head of Household is responsible for nominating two HouseGuests for eviction.[8] During the Live Eviction show, HouseGuests individually go into the Diary Room and cast their vote to evict. Julie then revels the results to the House after all eligible HouseGuests have cast their vote.[9] When two HouseGuests are left, the evicted HouseGuests voted for the winner and in the event of a tie the public would break the tie.[10]

During season three a new power was introduced called the Power of Veto (PoV). The Power of Veto winner can choose to veto one of the Head of Household's initial nominations. The winner is also protected from becoming a replacement nominee for the week.[11] Originally, the Power of Veto was silver and if a nominee won the Power of Veto the nominee could not save themselves. The "Golden" Power of Veto, introduced in the last veto competition in season three, could be won by a nominee and used to save themselves. The Golden Power of Veto is now the standard veto since season four.[12][13]

The fourth season introduced the Big Brother Jury. The Jury is made up of the final seven evicted HouseGuests. As each member of the Jury is evicted from the House they are sequestered in a separate house. The jury members are not allowed to watch the show except for small portions of the show like competitions and evictions. The jury members are not shown any Diary Room footage or any footage involving strategy or twists to the game. The Big Brother Jury votes to determine the winner of Big Brother each season.[13]

Live Show

The live show is broadcast live on Thursday nights. During the first season the live show would feature highlights, nominations and banishments. Originally, the live show featured a studio audience along with guest commentators Dr. Drew Pinsky, best known for Loveline on MTV, and (sponsor) America Online "Internet Adviser" Regina Lewis.

Beginning with the second season Julie presents the live show in an empty studio overlooking the house. During the live show highlights are shown, one or two HouseGuests are evicted and briefly interviewed by Julie, and the Head of Household competition is held. For the most part quizzes are held to determine the next Head of Household due to the show's running time. Some Head of Household competitions do not finish during the live show and are broadcast on the live Internet feeds and the results of the Head of Household competition are broadcast on the next episode.

Live Internet feeds

Each year CBS has made live streaming Internet video feeds from the Big Brother house available through RealNetworks. The Internet feeds were free during season one but became a subscription service beginning with season two. The live Internet feeds are blocked during competitions, ceremonies and the live east coast broadcast on Thursdays. Slanderous statements and singing of copyrighted music is blocked for legal reasons. The feeds are also blocked when HouseGuests discuss their Diary Room sessions or production aspects of the show.

Seasons and twists

Ever since the show began, Big Brother has had a central twist every season. The twists are:

  • Big Brother 1: The premise of the show -- America watching in on a group of people -- is introduced.
  • Big Brother 2: The new format is introduced -- a Head of Household nominates two HouseGuests and the other HouseGuests vote on which nominee is evicted.
  • Big Brother 3: The Power of Veto is introduced, allowing HouseGuests to change the Head of Household's nominations.
  • Big Brother 4: The X-Factor - Five of the HouseGuests are joined by their ex-boyfriends or ex-girlfriends.
  • Big Brother 5: Project DNA: Do Not Assume - A set of identical twins secretly play as one HouseGuest, switching places intermittently in secret. Two other HouseGuests find out that they are related.
  • Big Brother 6: Summer of Secrets - Each HouseGuest has a secret partner. If a set of partners makes it to the Final 2, the winner wins $1,000,000 and the runner up receives $250,000.
  • Big Brother 7: All Stars - 14 former HouseGuests get to play the game again.
  • Big Brother 8: Six of the HouseGuests learn they will be playing against nemeses from their pasts. One HouseGuest, known as America's Player, must perform certain tasks given by viewers of the show for financial rewards.

Shows

House Calls: The Big Brother Talk Show

House Calls: The Big Brother Talk Show is a live Internet talk show hosted by Gretchen Massey. The program focuses on events in the Big Brother house as well as taking phone calls from viewers. The show started in 2004 during Big Brother 5 with Marcellas Reynolds as host/co-host, and became quite popular. House Calls has returned with each new season of Big Brother. House Calls features special guests each week since Big Brother: All Stars. Marcellas did not return as co-host during the Big Brother: All Stars because he was a HouseGuest during that season and did not return for the eighth season due to budget cuts. For Big Brother 8, Massey co-hosts the show with a daily rotation of former houseguests and other media personalities. Contestants on Big Brother are bound by contract to appear on the webcast the Friday after their live eviction.

On August 31, 2007, Massey announced on the show that evicted HouseGuests who are on the Jury will not be interviewed by House Calls[14] or the media[15] until the end of the show. Massey quoting a statement from Big Brother:

We have made jury members of Big Brother available to the press the past few seasons always with the proviso that their questions not inform the ejected HouseGuest of influences outside his or her personal experience in the House. This season several cast members have made either offensive statements or exhibited controversial behavior, we respect journalist interests and rights to pose questions about these statements but believe at the same time doing so could provide information that influences the final vote and potential outcome of this twelve week competition. For that reason the remaining jurors will not be made available to the media for the duration of the program. They will be made available to the press after the Big Brother finale on September 18.[14][15]

The popularity of House Calls has spawned other Internet talk shows, including Survivor Live for Survivor, Finish Line and Elimination Station for The Amazing Race, Talk Model for America's Next Top Model, and various Aftershows on MTV Overdrive for MTV programming.

Big Brother: After Dark

Main article: Big Brother: After Dark

Big Brother: After Dark aired nightly from 12 midnight-3 a.m.(EDT)/9 p.m.—12 midnight (PDT) on Showtime Too and featured footage from the same live camera feeds that were made available to subscribers of the shows 24/7 live Internet feeds. This program featured house activity happening between those times, and was edited only for slanderous statements and music copyrights.[16] According to executive producer Allison Grodner, these three hours would have been entertaining as "That's prime time for the Big Brother house. It's when our HouseGuests are most wide awake and having fun, talking about strategy and playing the game. People are going to see quite a bit."[17]

Competitions

Competitions have been part of the show since season two. Various competitions force the HouseGuests to work together, in teams, or against each other for prizes or power. There are three different styles of games: endurance contests test which HouseGuest can last the longest doing a certain task (such as holding a key); games of skill test the HouseGuests' athleticism, ingenuity, or luck; and quizzes test the HouseGuests' knowledge of each other and the house. All three styles are used to varying degrees in the weekly competitions. Sometimes, a recycled competition that has appeared in a previous season is used. For example, the game "Majority Rules" (in which the HouseGuests have to answer questions with opinions while trying to stay with the majority until the tie-breaker question), which debuted in season five, has been recycled into the sixth season and the eighth season, each time being played for Head of Household.

Head of Household (HoH)

After each eviction (except the first week), HouseGuests compete to become the Head of Household. Due to the live show's time limit, quizzes are normally used for this competition. Games of skill also appear as HoH competitions occasionally, while the endurance contest is only used two to three times a season.

The HoH receives perks such as their own private bedroom, photos or gifts from home, and maid service. The HoH also nominates two HouseGuests for eviction. If one of the nominees is removed via the Power of Veto, the HoH will name a replacement nominee. The HoH reigns until the next eviction in which he or she may not vote except to break a tie. The HouseGuest may not participate in the following HoH competition unless only three HouseGuests are remaining.

The final HoH competition occurs when only three HouseGuests remain. The competition is held in three parts. For the first stage, the HouseGuests compete in an endurance contest requiring the HouseGuests to hang on to their keys in the face of some unusual circumstance. The second stage is commonly a game of skill between the losers of the previous stage. The winners of first and second stage face off in a quiz where the participants must guess what departed HouseGuests thought. The winner of the third stage becomes the last HoH while the two other HouseGuests are automatically nominated. As none of the trio are eligible to vote, the last HoH breaks the 0-0 tie and chooses who to evict.

Although normally one HouseGuest normally retains the Head of Household rewards and responsibilities for the week, exceptions have occurred. In a "double eviction" week, the first HoH only reigns for a short period (between an hour and three days) while the second HoH reigns for the rest of the week. When this occurs, the first HoH is normally not provided the benefits such as use of the HoH bedroom. Another exception is when two HouseGuests were co-Heads of Household the first week of Big Brother: All-Stars. The co-HoHs had to agree on two nominees or else become the nominees themselves and lose their HoH privileges. The winner of the Power of Veto competition would break a tie on the eviction vote if it had occurred that week.

Power of Veto (PoV)

Each week after the Head of Household has announced the week's nominees the six HouseGuests competes for the Golden Power of Veto. The winner of the Golden Power of Veto can choose to veto one of the Head of Household's initial nominations. The winner is also protected from becoming a replacement nominee for the week. This competition is more often a game of skill instead of a quiz or endurance contest.

Food Competition

Food competitions allow the HouseGuests to win food for the week. Most food competitions are games of skill, although the HouseGuests may work individually, in teams, or as one group. The Head of Household hosts the Food Competition and can eat any food the winners would earn. Winners eat a variety of food during the week. Losers go on food restriction, which usually lasts until after the next eviction and HoH competition. However, food competitions may not be held every week. For example, no food competitions were played the latter half of season six.

During seasons two through six, the food restriction was a diet of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, milk, water, and condiments. Starting in All Stars, the sandwiches were replaced with "Big Brother Slop". The slop looks like oatmeal, has essential nutrients, and is not appetizing. The HouseGuests can win "passes" to escape food restriction once. The passes are transferable until used or its holder is evicted, so trading the pass became a tool in strategy.

When all HouseGuests compete as one group, the competition changes slightly. The competition is not for all food or food restriction for the whole week. Instead, the HouseGuests may compete to earn different food groups. Alternatively, the HouseGuests may compete to earn the full food diet for each day of the week.

To date, HouseGuest Jen Johnson of Season 8 is the first house guest to defy the slop rules, eating a turkey burger, cottage cheese, and an apple. By doing so she originally received a penalty nomination for the following week but this was later replaced with a penalty eviction vote during Week 7. This is the first penalty in Big Brother US history.

Luxury Competitions

The Luxury Competitions allow the HouseGuests to win special prizes. They usually involve games of skill. Examples of previous luxuries earned include margarita parties, movie screenings, and access to newspaper clippings. This competition occurred frequently in the earlier seasons. In later seasons, Luxury Competitions are held less frequently as the show began giving prizes away during the Head of Household and Power of Veto competitions. An example of this is the backyard's hot tub. The first Luxury Competition in seasons two through five were to earn the key to the hot tub. However, the hot tub's key was hidden in the Gold room in season six, and the hot tub was not locked at all in seasons seven and eight.

America's Choice

America's Choice allows the viewing public to select a HouseGuest to receive a special opportunity not available to other HouseGuests. Voting is done through the CBS website and text messaging. Though HouseGuests do not actively compete for the reward, it is essentially a reward based on viewers' opinions of the HouseGuests. America's Choice contests begin midway through each season and occur weekly. Previous contests have allowed HouseGuests to make a mobile phone call to family, have a walk-on role for a CBS soap opera, and conduct an internet chat with fans. In season six, the first America's Choice contest was to vote a previously evicted HouseGuest back into the house. America's Choice is not always a choice between contestants to earn a special opportunity. Sometimes viewers are asked what challenge the HouseGuests should play or what kind of appliance would be given to the HouseGuests. In season eight, America's Choice spun off into America's Player, where Eric was chosen to fulfill tasks voted on by the public for financial reward.

Criticisms and controversy

In Big Brother 2 HouseGuest Justin Sebik was expelled on Day 10 for breaking Big Brother rules. Justin threatened his fellow HouseGuest with physical violence and intimidation, a violation of one of the most serious House rules.

Julie Chen, host of Big Brother, explained that Justin was given an official warning that such behavior was not appropriate in the Big Brother house. Justin repeated the warning, proving that he understood the rule. His behavior included destruction of house property, culminated in a final incident when he and Krista were kissing on the kitchen table and picked up a metal carpet sweeper and said to her "Would you get mad if I cracked you over the head with this?" He swung the carpet sweeper towards Krista but put it down and kissed her. He walked away from her in the kitchen and says "Would you get mad if I killed you?" He picked up a large knife, returned to Krista and while they kissed he placed the knife against her throat. He briefly took the knife away from her throat but with Krista's encouragement returned the knife to her throat and they begun kissing again. As the kiss ends he puts the knife down.[18]

After a confrontation with the show psychologist, it was decided that Justin would be expelled from the Big Brother house.[19] Krista Stegall later sued CBS over the incident.[20][21]

Big Brother 4 HouseGuest Scott Weintraub was expelled on Day 8 after having a violent outburst in the house relating to the season twist, X-Factor. Scott tossed furniture around the House, delivered an expletive-laden rant, and refused to go to the Diary Room when called. He later apologized to his fellow HouseGuest who were uncomfortable with his actions in the house. Once Scott went to the Diary Room he was removed from the house and expelled.[22]

Big Brother 6 HouseGuest Eric and Micheal get into a confrontation about Micheal talking badly about Eric's family. Earlier in the evening, Rachel who was eavesdropping on Janelle and Micheal in the Gold Room overheard Michael make a poor joke about Eric's grandparents to Janelle. Rachel told Eric that she heard them badmouthing his family. Later that night Eric and Ivette are outside discussing the incident when Micheal goes outside. Eric provokes Micheal who retorts, calling Eric "a midget with a small penis." Eric loses all control going after Micheal. The other HouseGuests blocked Eric's attack at Micheal. Big Brother intervenes telling Eric to leave the backyard and telling Micheal to go to the storage room. Shortly after, Ivette attacks Kaysar and his beliefs, Big Brother intervenes again giving warnings to all HouseGuests. Eric apologizes to his fellow HouseGuests, saying he would never hurt anyone.[23]

Big Brother 8 HouseGuest Richard "Evel Dick" came under some controversy for his loud abusive behavior towards women HouseGuests, especially Jen. This culminated in an event in which Dick poured iced tea on Jen's head while she was engaged in an argument with HouseGuests Nick and Dick's daughter Daniele. This led some fans and the National Organization for Women to call for his expulsion from the house. He never was.[24]

Another HouseGuest, Amber, who has admitted to a previous addiction to meth, garnered national attention after making what were considered anti-Semitic statements.[25] Media watchdog Dlisted called Amber a "meth face" after her comments were aired on the live stream of the House[26] and Hollywood news conglomeration Defamer criticized Amber's sentiments.[27] Notably, aggregate TMZ reported about Amber's remarks, especially those about being able to recognize a Jew by the size of their nose or their last name.[28] Abraham Foxman, National Director of the Anti-Defamation League told the website:

"It's offensive. It's part of the unintended consequences of the communications revolution. Anybody can say what they do - but reality shows are now giving license to these expressions of anti-Semitism. Now, all of a sudden, the world is privy to their bigotry and it's on national television... then enhanced on YouTube. What they've done is distributed anti-Semitism -- which started as a private conversation -- and by putting it on a reality TV show broadcast it to the world at large. I want CBS to understand they are facilitating anti-Semitism. They should act responsibly to the community; they are legitimizing bigoted conversation."[28]

This impelled CBS to release a statement about the controversy:

"BIG BROTHER is a reality show about watching a group of people who have no privacy 24/7 - and seeing every moment of their lives. At times, the Houseguests reveal prejudices and other beliefs that we do not condone. We certainly find the statements made by Amber Siyavus on the live Internet feed to be offensive and they will not be part of any future broadcast on the CBS Television Network. Any views or opinions expressed in personal commentary by a Houseguest appearing on BIG BROTHER 8, either on any live feed from the House or the broadcast, are those of the individual(s) speaking and do not represent the views or opinions of CBS or the producers of the program."[28]

The Associated Press will decline to interview Amber and Jameka if they are members of the Jury, due to the fact that they are not allowed to ask both contestants about Amber's comments. A CBS spokesperson reported that asking Amber or Jameka about Amber's comments could influence the jury voters and affect the integrity of the game.[29]

On Day 52 Jen, who was named as a replacement nominee for Amber, packed and scattered her belongings through the House, destroyed and bleached Dick's cigarettes.[30] Big Brother later informed Dick they would replace the cigarettes. Jen began to cook food while on a slop restriction[30] Later that night, Jen went outside and ate food while on slop.[31] Big Brother told Jen she would receive a penalty nomination, she must be a nominee for the entire week and cannot win HoH or Veto for Week 8 if she survived Week 7.[32] This was found unfair to Jameka, the other Week 7 nominee, and the penalty nomination was removed.[33] Jen would instead receive a penalty eviction vote for Week 7 plus any votes cast against her by her fellow HouseGuests.[31]

Later, Dick lit a cigarette and blew smoke toward Jen's direction while she was eating. Jen asked for Dick to stop but he did not. Jen then reached to get the cigarette from Dick several times and was burned by the cigarette. Jen begins to yell that Dick burned her on purpose. This incident ended with Dick yelling at Jen: “Go home, just go home.” Jameka pulled Jen away from the confrontation and to the bathroom.[31] Neither Jen or Dick was expelled from the House and Jen was evicted on Day 55. Jen said to the Associated Press: "I definitely think he should have been kicked out, but obviously he was definitely entertainment for the show, so that's why he was not."[29]

Due to the controversy surrounding offensive remarks and controversial behavior made by several HouseGuests, this season CBS will not allow the media[15] or even companion show House Calls[14] to interview evicted HouseGuests who are a part of the jury of seven to vote for the winner of Big Brother 8 beginning with Amber. They will be allowed to interview the HouseGuests after Big Brother 8 is over.[14][15]

Other media

DVD

A 9-disc set from the third season of the show, in its entirety as well as edits, have been released on Region 1 DVD. A supplementary included is the house guests' original casting tapes. These casting tapes are taken from preliminary interviews rather than the tapes that the house guests sent in. All episodes on this DVD were the actual edited broadcast versions.

A 2-disc Highlights set from the fourth season has also been released. With the release of the fourth season highlights, the clips would show un-aired footage, ostensibly racier than what CBS would allow to air.

Games

Virtual Me is a new digital entertainment concept that bridges the divide between traditional TV and videogames is being developed by EA it will allow people to play games like Big Brother, Fear Factor and Deal or No Deal.[34]
