Big Brother 24 is the twenty-fourth season of the American reality television program Big Brother. The season premiered on July 6, 2022, on CBS in the United States and Global in Canada.[2] Hosted by Julie Chen Moonves, the show follows a group of contestants (known as HouseGuests), who live in a house together while being constantly filmed and having no communication with the outside world as they compete to win a grand prize of $750,000.[3]

The season is expected to run for 82 days, with the season finale scheduled on September 25, 2022.[1]

Big Brother 24 is co-produced by production companies Endemol Shine North America and Fly On The Wall Entertainment. The season was first confirmed following the conclusion of the previous season in a joint announcement that also confirmed that Celebrity Big Brother would be revived for a third season.[4][5] Host Julie Chen Moonves returned for the season along with executive producers Allison Grodner and Rich Meehan. Casting for the season started in February 2022 and concluded sometime around June 2022.[6][7] No open-call auditions were held for this season due to restrictions implemented in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Jesse Tannenbaum returned to head the casting efforts for Big Brother 24.[8]

On June 1, 2022, CBS announced that the season would premiere on July 6, 2022, with confirmation on June 15, 2022, of a 90-minute live premiere.[9][10] Although it was speculated that live audiences would return in a full capacity following two seasons of absence due to pandemic restrictions, such an idea would ultimately be scrapped.[11][12] Key art for the season was released on June 15, 2022.[13]

Prize

The winner of the series, determined by the previously evicted HouseGuests, wins $750,000, while the runner-up receives $75,000. The HouseGuest selected as America's Favorite HouseGuest receives $50,000.[8]

Production design

The mid-century styled living room.

The house is located at the CBS Studio Center in Los Angeles, California. As with previous seasons, the house is outfitted with 94 HD cameras and more than 113 microphones.[5] Photos and a video tour of the house were released by CBS on July 5, 2022. Alternatively known as the "BB Motel",[9] Julie Chen Mooves described the house's theme as a "colorful, desert oasis inspired by Palm Springs, and a blast from the past, mid-century style."[14] A golf-themed bedroom has mini golf cart models lined along the walls, with the beds with headboards composed of AstroTurf. A second bedroom is decorated with details alluding to the car designs of the 1950s, including portraits of the car designs and beds with headboards composing of vintage car dashboards. The space age themed bedroom features hanging models of Venus, Earth and Saturn. The Have-Not room resembles a drained pool, with a slide and inflatables being placed on the room.

HouseGuests

Main article: List of Big Brother (American TV series) houseguests

The HouseGuests for the twenty-fourth season were revealed on July 5, 2022.[15] US Weekly published a series of cast interviews on the same day.[16] Prior to the reveal, CBS aired a teaser featuring various voice clips from the HouseGuests.[17] The cast includes Miss Michigan USA 2021 and Miss USA 2021 competitor Taylor Hale.[18] Marvin Achi, a 28-year-old chemical processing engineer from Houston, Texas was among the sixteen HouseGuests initially slated to be on the season, but was removed from the cast for undisclosed reasons. It is widely speculated that due to unresolved contractual conflicts stemming from his appearance on season 17 of America's Got Talent, he could not compete, resulting in his removal from the cast.[19][20] He was replaced by Joseph Abdin.[21]

Further information: Big Brother (American TV series) § Format

Big Brother follows a group of contestants, known as HouseGuests, who live inside a custom-built house outfitted with cameras and microphones recording their every move 24 hours a day.[22] The HouseGuests are sequestered with no contact with the outside world.[23] During their stay, the HouseGuests share their thoughts on their day-to-day lives inside the house in a private room known as the Diary Room.[24][25] Each week, the HouseGuests compete in competitions in order to win power and safety inside the house. At the start of each week, the HouseGuests compete in a Head of Household (abbreviated as "HOH") competition.[26] The winner of the HoH competition is immune from eviction and selects two HouseGuests to be nominated for eviction.[27] Six HouseGuests are then selected to compete in the Power of Veto (abbreviated as "PoV") competition: the reigning HoH, the nominees, and three other HouseGuests chosen by random draw. The winner of the PoV competition has the right to either revoke the nomination of one of the nominated HouseGuests or leave them as is. If the veto winner uses this power, the HoH must immediately nominate another HouseGuest for eviction. The PoV winner is also immune from being named as the replacement nominee.[28] On eviction night, all HouseGuests vote to evict one of the nominees, though the Head of Household and the nominees are not allowed to vote. This vote is conducted in the privacy of the Diary Room. In the event of a tie, the Head of Household casts the tie-breaking vote. The nominee with the most votes is evicted from the house.[29] The last nine evicted HouseGuests comprise the Jury and are sequestered in a separate location following their eviction and ultimately decide the winner of the season. The Jury is only allowed to see the competitions and ceremonies that include all of the remaining HouseGuests; they are not shown any interviews or other footage that might include strategy or details regarding nominations.[30] The viewing public is able to award an additional prize of $75,000 by choosing "America's Favorite HouseGuest". All evicted HouseGuests are eligible to win this award except for those who either voluntarily leave or are forcibly removed for rule violations.[31]

Sixteen HouseGuests entered the house and claimed tickets, which assigned them to one of three challenges for the first HoH competition. Paloma, Jasmine, Monte, Kyle, and Nicole were sent to the porta-potties where they heard a series of audio conversations with repeating numbers, and had to determine which number was said most often. Monte won the challenge. Taylor, Turner, Brittany, Joseph, and Terrance were sent to the piercing tent where they had to accurately clip pieces of jewelry to their faces according to a guide. Turner won the challenge. Michael, Alyssa, Daniel, Indy, and Ameerah were sent to the merchandise stand, where they held onto shirts as they were lifted from the ground, and would be eliminated if they fell. Daniel won the challenge. Pooch received the Backstage Boss ticket and did not compete. Monte, Turner, and Daniel then competed to assemble a puzzle in the final round. Daniel completed the puzzle first and became HoH. Julie then revealed that Pooch would be sent "backstage" for the week, could not be nominated for eviction, was ineligible to compete in the week's competitions, and could not vote on eviction night. Additionally, he selected Alyssa, Brittany, and Paloma to join him.

Following the nomination ceremony, Daniel assured Terrance that Michael is his intended target. Michael attempted to find people who would take him down if they won the veto before coming to the conclusion that he needs to win it for himself. Players were then chosen for the PoV competition: Daniel, Michael, Terrance, Indy, Turner, and Ameerah. In the competition, HouseGuests competed two at a time by collecting metal rings on a foam lance while on artificial horses. After a tiebreaker round, Michael defeated Ameerah and won the Power of Veto. The "Girls Girls" alliance began to worry about possible alliances forming between male members of the house, much to Taylor's dismay. Taylor approached Monte and Joseph about their worry, who then talked to Paloma about Taylor's allegations. Paloma denied them and pitched the idea of evicting Taylor. On Day 6, Michael used the PoV to remove himself from the block and Daniel nominated Taylor in his place.

Notes

  • ^Note 1 :   For drawing the Backstage Boss ticket on Day 1, Pooch was sent "backstage" and was granted immunity for the entire week. As a result, he could not be nominated, was ineligible to compete in the week's competitions, and was ineligible to vote on eviction night.
  • ^Note 2 :   Three HouseGuests were selected by Pooch to be sent "backstage": Alyssa, Brittany, and Paloma. They also could not be nominated, lost their eligibility to compete in the week's competitions, and were ineligible to vote on eviction night. However, they remained eligible for eviction.   Additionally, an online public vote was held to grant one of them safety.

Reception

Controversy

“Members of the black community (especially black women) and other people of color stand no chance in the Big Brother House due to the perpetuation of micro-aggressions and unconscious biases which plague our society”[34]

Xavier Prather, winner of season 23

Following the launch of the show's live feeds, a majority of the HouseGuests received criticism for their behavior towards Taylor Hale. Viewers noted multiple lies made about Hale, along with several comments that allegedly displayed racially charged microaggressions, including conscious bias or unconscious assumptions, regarding Hale's personality.[35][36] Former contestants, including Azah Awasum, Tiffany Mitchell, and season 23 winner Xavier Prather, condemned the mistreatment of Hale, along with similar incidents from past seasons.[37][38] Hale also received support from several figures in the beauty pageant community, including Miss USA 2016 Deshauna Barber.[citation needed]
