when did this season of big brother start
Big Brother 19 (U.S.) Big Brother 19 is the nineteenth season of the American reality television series Big Brother. It is based upon the Dutch series of the same name. The season premiered on June 28, 2017 on CBS in the United States with a two-hour season premiere and Julie Chen returning as host.
Big Brother (U.S. TV series) Jessie Godderz has made the most Big Brother appearances in the show's history, appearing in seasons 10 and 11 as a HouseGuest and in seasons 12–14 and 17–19 in a special guest appearance.
Big Brother (U.S. TV series) Having spent millions on the series, CBS issued a second season of the series and announced that various changes would occur with the format.[47] The current format of the series is focused more on competition and strategy than the original series, which makes resemblance to the format from another CBS show, Survivor. At the start of each week in the house, the HouseGuests compete for the title of Head of Household.[48] The Head of Household for each week is given luxuries such as their own personal bedroom and free laundry service, but is responsible for nominating two HouseGuests for eviction. The Head of Household would not be able to compete in the following week's Head of Household competition, meaning that a HouseGuest could not hold the title for two weeks in a row, except for the final week or other stated circumstances.[49][50][51] All HouseGuests excluding the Head of Household and nominees later vote to determine which of the two nominees should be evicted, and the nominated HouseGuest who received the most votes is evicted during a live episode. If there is a tie in the voting, the reigning Head of Household is required to make the tie-breaker decision.[52] Unlike other versions of Big Brother, the HouseGuests may discuss the nomination and eviction process openly and freely. The HouseGuests also competed in Have-Not competitions, in which the losers were required to solely eat slop for the rest of the week, as well as sleep in a special bedroom.[53] Upon reaching a point in the game, the evicted HouseGuests go on to become members of the Jury; the Jury is responsible for choosing who wins the series. The members of the Jury are not shown any Diary Room interviews or any footage that may include strategy or details regarding nominations.[54] Once only two HouseGuests remain, the members of the Jury cast their votes for who should win the series.[55]
Big Brother (U.S. TV series) CBS also renewed the series for a 19th and 20th season. The 19th season premiered on June 28, 2017, while the 20th season is expected to air in the summer of 2018.[4]
