Big Brother, which began in the summer of 2000, has become an annual tradition for fans; every summer (with the exception of the 2008 winter edition) viewers are treated to new HouseGuests, new challenges, and new evictions! Here's how the game works: each week, there is a Head of Household challenge, where all of the players compete for the power in the house. The HoH then nominates two other HouseGuests for eviction. Several days later, a Power of Veto competition is held, where six players (the HoH, the nominees, and three guests) attempt to win the Golden Power of Veto, which gives the bearer the power to "veto," or cancel, one of the HoH's nominations, forcing the HoH to nominate someone else (other than the Veto bearer) for eviction. Then, in the weekly live eviction, the HouseGuests vote to evict someone from the house for good. Along the way are Food competitions (which, if the HouseGuests do not win, results in them eating "Slop" for the week) and the occasional Luxury competition, all leading up to the show's finale, where a panel of sequestered jurors vote for a winner, who receives half a million dollars!

Big Brother 6: This season is the "Summer of Secrets," with a brand new, state-of-the-art house, equipped with secret compartments and secret rooms. Not only that, but each of the houseguest began their adventure with a secret: everyone is playing the game with a partner - someone they know from the outside world. So far, the game has not ended yet, so all bets are off as to who will emerge from the Big Brother house victorious! However, if a secret team should make it to the finals, the winner will receive $1,000,000, the biggest prize in BB history, and the runner-up will receive $250,000. Big Brother 6 regular airings:
Tuesdays (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) - Veto Competition and Veto Meeting
Thursdays (8:00-9:00 PM, live ET/PT) - Live Eviction and Head of Household Contest
Saturdays (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) - Nominationsless «

  Maybe I am crazy but I could swear that I have seen Jeff Schroeder from BB11 before. I've never been to Chicago and I am not a regular viewer of BB, but a friend posted the cast on his blog and I thought Jeff looked extremely familiar. Does anyone know if he's done any acting? I am thinking it was a commercial. I can't figure out why he looks so familiar but it's driving me even MORE crazy! less «

  i wanted Jess back in the game, i loved her in season 8 it was the first season i watched and i deff. think that if she got a second shot she coulda won, especially being prepared with the experience she got from last time she was in the house and not falling for someone in the house. I feel like jessie is gonna get really cocky and get on peoples nerves really fast. less «

  8 Great

  A bunch of people are put in a house together and have competitions etc. It's crazy. Expect the unexpected. hide « show »

  I can't help but watch this show every season. There are always crazy people who make you scream or laugh. There are the annoying ones who just drive you insane. The competitions are funny. My favourite person of all time would have to be Dr. Will. He was cunning and brilliant. Not to mention hot. That's what you get with this show. Some laughs, some screams, and sometimes you get something good to look at. It is my biggest guilty pleasure. Pure entertainment. If I were to ever be on a reality show I would be on this one. Check it out people.

  8.5 Great

  A clever premise that shows the one thing people actually watch reality TV for: The INTERACTION. However sleazy, it's smarter than MTV counterparts. hide « show »

  This reality show flirts brilliantly with the line between "classy" and "trashy". I have watched this show every summer for the past three years and have to say that the latest season was definitely better than All Stars and Season Eight (I just won't mention Nine). It helped that I was in love with Dan since Day 1, but I liked how it got a little less gimmicky and just focused on delivering quirky, cool contestants and a healthy dose of competitions, backstabbing, alliances, and all that fun stuff. I just really, really hope that it continues on this encouraging new trend of contestant diversity (finally, a little more variety than Token Black Girl, Token Black Guy, Token Gay Guy, Blondes, Blackhaired Guys!) and sticking with the things about Big Brother that are GOOD.

  10 Perfect

  one of my faves hide « show »

  I don't know if I want Dan or Memphis. This is one of the hardest decisions! I am glad I am not a juror. I have been watching "Big Brother" since the first season. I really enjoyed the season with Evil Dick although I did not think he was all that evil! My absolute worst houseguest ever had to have been Jen. She thought she was all that and a bag of chips! I loved when Dick would get up in her face. This season Dan and Memphis have done a hell of a job hiding their renegade allience and I have to give Jerry props for being 75 and made it to the final 3

  9.1 Superb

  a great show. hide « show »

  this show is really great!.i love it maybe the fact that there tortured inside lmao!.its really a great show they compete in competitions and basically are suffering the whole time the whole hoh,and pov concepts are great ideas ,heres the premise thank wikipedia,"The housemates are, for the most part, isolated within the house. They are allowed no access to television, radio or the Internet and are not allowed any form of communications with the outside world (including other media). In some shows, even books and writing material are not permitted, with the exception of religious materials such as the Bible, Torah or Qur'an.
  
  Contestants are not completely isolated, however. They have regular scheduled interactions with the show's host (mostly on eviction nights), and throughout each day the program's producer, via the "Big Brother" voice, instructs the contestants in various matters and sometimes issues tasks or commands them to take certain actions. In some versions of the show, private chats with a psychologist are allowed at any time, often by means of a telephone in the Diary Room."
  dont censor that read it.its just the break down of it k tv.com?.so anyways this show is really great and this way people can win alot of money.too.
