Format

The placeholder logo revealed alongside the season announcement.

Big Brother depicts a group of contestants, known as HouseGuests, that live inside a custom-built house outfitted with cameras and microphones recording their every move 24 hours a day.[6] The HouseGuests are sequestered in the Big Brother House with no contact with the outside world.[7] During their stay the HouseGuests share their thoughts on events and other houseguests inside a private room referred to as the Diary Room.[8][9] Each week, the HouseGuests compete in several competitions in order to win power and safety inside the house. At the start of each week, the HouseGuests compete in the Head of Household (abbreviated as "HoH") competition.[10] The winner of the HoH competition is immune from eviction and will select two HouseGuests to be nominated for eviction.[11] Then six HouseGuests are selected to compete in the Power of Veto (abbreviated as "PoV") competition: the reigning HoH and the nominees are guaranteed to play with the remaining slots being given to other HouseGuests selected by random draw. The winner of the PoV competition wins 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.[12] On eviction night, all HouseGuests must vote to evict one of the nominees. The Head of Household and the nominees are not allowed to vote. This compulsory vote is conducted in the privacy of the Diary Room. In the event of a tie, the Head of Household will cast the tie-breaking vote in front of all the HouseGuests in the living room. The nominee with the most votes is evicted from the house.[13] The last nine evicted HouseGuests, referred to as the Jury, are sequestered in a separate house following their eviction and ultimately decide the winner of the season. The Jury are not allowed to watch the show except for competitions and ceremonies that include all of the remaining HouseGuests. They are not shown any Diary Room interviews or any footage that may include strategy or details regarding nominations.[14] The viewing public is able to award an additional prize of $25,000 to their favorite HouseGuest of the season. All evicted HouseGuests are eligible to win this award except for those who either voluntarily leave or are forcibly removed for rule-breaking.[15]

This is the first season since Big Brother 14 not to hold a "Battle Back" competition.

Safety Suite

On the second episode, the Safety Suite twist was introduced. For each of the first three weeks, HouseGuests could opt in to compete in a Safety Suite competition to earn immunity as well as immunity for one other player. Each HouseGuest could only compete in one of the three Safety Competitions by scanning the VIP Pass that was given to them on Week 1. Once the Suite was activated, those who wanted to participate would have one hour to scan in. The players who chose to participate were revealed to all the remaining houseguests. The player that won the Safety Suite competition would be safe for the week and would have to choose a +1 to be safe along with them, however the +1 would have to accept a unique punishment for the week in addition to the immunity.

2	Bayleigh, Christmas, Cody, Da'Vonne, David, Ian, Kevin	Christmas	Ian	BB's All-Star Wars
3	Dani, Enzo, Memphis, Nicole F.	Enzo	Christmas	All-Star Is Born

BB Basement

During episode 13, Julie revealed a new room in the house called the BB Basement. In this room, a competition would take place that would award three game-changing powers to houseguests.

Power	Winner	Description	Outcome
Blocker	Christmas	For the next three weeks, the power holder can prevent themselves or another houseguest of their choice from being the replacement nominee at a veto meeting.[16]	Not used (Expired)
Disruptor	David	For the next three weeks, the power holder can save one of the nominees that the HOH nominates and the houseguest chosen is safe for the entire week.[16]	Used on himself (Week 6)
Replay	Dani	For the next three weeks, the outgoing HOH, whether it be the power holder or a houseguest of their choice, could play in the next week's HOH competition.[16]	Used on Memphis (Week 8)

Neighbor’s Week

During episode 22, it was revealed that Big Brother 2 winner Will Kirby would move into the neighbor's house for the week and tempt the houseguests with prizes during the next HOH and veto competitions. Kirby showed up multiple times during the week to shake up the game.

Triple Eviction

For the first time in the American Big Brother's show history, a Triple Eviction twist occurred on Day 58, during which the HouseGuests competed in two rounds of play following the first eviction. The triple eviction has previously been featured on Big Brother Canada, but with a different format (a single live round being held after the first eviction, the HoH nominating three HouseGuests for eviction and not being allowed to compete in the PoV; the eligible HouseGuests vote to save one nominee instead of evict, and the HouseGuest receiving the most votes is saved while the other two were evicted).

HouseGuests

On July 23, 2020, CBS confirmed the season would be an All-Stars edition with previous HouseGuests taking part. This is the second All-Stars edition in the history of the program after the seventh season in 2006.[17] The HouseGuests were revealed during the live season premiere on August 5, 2020.[18]

16 All-Star Houseguests entered the house in four groups. Head of Household Competition: The first HoH competition was played in two rounds. First Round: Upon entering the house, the move-in groups of four would instantly compete in a competition. In the competition, an item would be shown on a screen in the backyard and HouseGuests would have to find the item in the house. They would then roll a ball through a maze, with the goal of landing the ball in the hole corresponding to the room the item was in. The first two HouseGuests in each heat to complete the puzzle would compete in the second round. Given the live nature of the competition, this competition also had a 4-minute time limit. Should a heat exceed four minutes, then only those who completed the table maze would move to the final round. In the move-in group of Christmas, Da'Vonne, Dani and Nicole F., only Christmas advanced. Kevin and Ian advanced from the group of them, Tyler and Enzo. Nicole A. advanced from her group of her, Janelle, Keesha and Bayleigh. From the group of Cody, Memphis, David and Kaysar, Cody and Memphis advanced. Final Round: The players who made it to the final round competed for one-by-one in a live competition. The HouseGuests would each have to race across a series of pedestals and make it to the other side of the yard, locking in their time with a buzzer. Some of these pedestals were not sturdy. If a HouseGuest fell off a pedestal, they would have to restart. The HouseGuest to complete the course in the fastest time would be the new Head of Household. Cody completed the course fastest and became the new Head of Household and nominated Keesha and Kevin. The other five HouseGuest took an envelope each: Christmas won $5,000 while Ian, Memphis, Nicole A. and Kevin were named the first Have-Nots.

Head-of-Household Competition Round 2 ("Camera Hogs"): HouseGuests must take a photo with the evicted HouseGuests that matches the description on a postcard. After placing the cutout of that HouseGuest in front of the postcard backdrop, they must hit their button and take a picture. Pigs were scattered in the play area and can hinder the progress for the HouseGuests. The first HouseGuest to take three clean photos would win. Cody won the second round of the final HoH under 4:49 (Enzo with 37:38) and compete with Nicole F. in the final round. Head-of-Household Competition Round 3 ("Vinyl Exam"): The two HouseGuests had to watch a series of videos featuring jury members in order of their eviction. Each jury member made three statements about their time in the Big Brother House, and have to deduce which statement is false. A correct guess earns one point and the HouseGuest earning more points after eight questions would win. On the first question, Cody answered correctly while Nicole F. was incorrect, and later both HouseGuests answered the remaining questions correctly. In the end, Cody won with 8-7 and thus, winning the final HoH competition, making him the third HouseGuest to reach the Final 2 twice. Deciding to keep the "Final 2" alliance intact, Cody chose to evict Nicole F., making her the last HouseGuest evicted and the ninth and final Jury member. Following her eviction, the Jury of Nine then questioned the finalists on their different games they played during the entire season. They each praised on their strategies and their journeys but also criticized on the treatment towards other HouseGuests. Towards the end of the questions, Enzo rambles and Cody rehashes on their respective games. Later on, it was revealed that the jury unanimously voted Cody to crown him the winner of the season and the $500,000 top prize. Minutes later, Da'Vonne was voted by the public as the season's America's Favorite HouseGuest and the $25,000 prize, with Tyler being the next closest contender for the award.

1. In Episode 35, the final three HouseGuests looked back over their time in the Big Brother house. Flashbacks included clips from previous Days in the house, while the current Day in the house was 79.

Production

Impacts of COVID-19

Dates for open casting calls were announced on February 28 and were due to start on March 7.[57] All open casting calls were cancelled on March 10 due to concerns over the COVID-19 pandemic however potential applicants were urged to continue submitting online applications.[58] An article from The Hollywood Reporter on April 7 noted that CBS would be without new seasons of Big Brother and Love Island during the summer. Unnamed sources to the publication said the network would rely on repeats of their scripted shows that "have historically repeated well."[59] In a May 19 interview with Deadline, CBS Entertainment President Kelly Kahl said the network was "optimistic" about airing both shows (Big Brother and Love Island) during the summer "a little later than usual."[60] Pre-production began on July 2 with the crew starting construction on the house located in Los Angeles. Deadline reported the crew was following strict health and safety guidelines which including being tested for COVID-19, wearing personal protective equipment and observing social distancing during construction. Fly on the Wall Entertainment and Endemol Shine North America, which co-produce the series, had to wait for approvals from unions and guilds to officially begin filming.[61] CBS revealed several changes to the program to ensure the health and safety of the HouseGuests, staff and production crew.[17] Prior to the season premiere, the HouseGuests were placed in quarantine and tested for COVID-19 multiple times. Once inside the House, the HouseGuests would be tested weekly and have no contact with the production crew and any supplies delivered to the House would be disinfected. The production crew and staff would also be tested regularly and screened for symptoms, provided personal protective equipment and work in socially distant pods. A COVID-19 compliance officer will be on staff to ensure the implementation of the safety policies. Additionally, the live shows would not have a studio audience.[62]

Development

CBS announced Big Brother had been renewed for a twenty-second season on September 5, 2019. Chen Moonves confirmed to return as host on the same day after signing a one-season contract extension with the network.[63] Merchandise for the upcoming season briefly appeared on CBS' online store on July 20, 2020 featuring the title Big Brother: All-Stars with a redesigned logo.[64][65] Allison Grodner and Rich Meehan will return as executive producers for the series which will be produced by Fly on the Wall Entertainment, in association with Endemol Shine North America. CBS announced the season would have a live two-hour premiere on August 5, 2020.[17] For the first time since Big Brother: Over the Top this season will feature the HouseGuests moving into the House during live premiere. New episodes will air on Sunday/Wednesday/Thursday schedule as in previous seasons except all episodes will air in the 8:00 p.m. timeslot.[66] Global will air the season in Canada in simulcast with CBS.[67]

Casting

Kassting, Inc. returned to provide casting services for a twenty-first consecutive season since Big Brother 2, with Robyn Kass serving as the casting director.[68] Despite the eventual "All-Stars" format, an open casting call for the season was still held, which opened on September 22, 2019 and closed on April 3, 2020.[69][70]

Filming

As with previous seasons, the program is filmed at CBS Studios, soundstage 18 in Studio City, California in a custom-built two-story house. The House is equipped with 94 high-definition cameras and over 113 microphones to monitor and record the HouseGuests.[71]

Production design

The theme of the house is a modern colorful urban loft that showcases Big Brother history. Like the previous All-Star house, the new house contains many references to past players and moments of the series. Spray-painted murals in the kitchen area depict memorable moments from popular former HouseGuests, including:[72][73]

• Danielle Reyes miming devil horns in her Diary Room sessions along with her countdown towards her goal of reaching the end, "1 down, 8 to go" (from Big Brother 3).
• Dan Gheesling is depicted during his infamous "funeral" (from Big Brother 14);
• Will Kirby is featured and labeled as a "puppet master" (from Big Brother 2 & Big Brother 7);
• Derrick Levasseur's "undercover" gameplay that alludes to his occupation as an undercover police officer (from Big Brother 16);
• Rachel Reilly's popular battlecry of "Floaters, [you better] grab a life vest" (from Big Brother 12); and
• Kaycee Clark is featured with her frequently vocalized catchphrase "Let's go!" (from Big Brother 20).

The lounge features toss pillows of the show's multiple popular "showmances," including Jeff/Jordan (from Big Brother 11 and Big Brother 13), Cody/Jessica (from Big Brother 19), Brendon/Rachel (from Big Brother 12 and Big Brother 13), Dominic/Daniele (from Big Brother 13), Swaggy C/Bayleigh (from Big Brother 20), Tyler/Angela (from Big Brother 20), and Victor/Nicole (from Big Brother 18).[72][73] The first bedroom is a comic themed room that alludes to the recurring Power of Veto competition BB Comics. The walls of this room includes images of the BB Comics characters of multiple past HouseGuests, including Victor Arroyo (of Big Brother 18), Amber Borzotra (of Big Brother 16), Frank Eudy (of Big Brother 14 and Big Brother 18), Jessica Graf (of Big Brother 19), Frankie Grande (of Big Brother 16), Ovi Kabir (of Big Brother 21), Jordan Lloyd (of Big Brother 11 & Big Brother 13), Steve Moses (of Big Brother 17), Rachel Reilly (of Big Brother 12 and Big Brother 13), Vanessa Rousso (of Big Brother 17), Angela Rummans (of Big Brother 20), Faysal Shafaat (of Big Brother 20), Devin Shepherd (of Big Brother 16), Christopher "Swaggy C" Williams (of Big Brother 20) and Jase Wirey (of Big Brother 5 and Big Brother 7).[72][73] The second bedroom is themed around cameras, the walls of this bedroom is filled with "127 black-and-white photos that highlight pivotal moments spanning the show’s 20-year history".[72][73] The third bedroom is themed around the Big Brother key, the symbol of safety in the Big Brother house as used in the nomination ceremony and in the Final 2 jury vote.[72][73] The bathroom features rubber ducks which have been frequently seen in the pool.[72][73] This season also featured an updated front of house studio for the first time since Big Brother 15, featuring a new 10-foot-tall entrance door as well as a hallway to prevent houseguests from peeking beyond the door, a trope that has caught on in recent years.[74]

Have-Nots

Each week a group of HouseGuests are selected to become Have-Nots for the week. The Have-Nots are required to sleep in an uncomfortable bedroom, take cold showers and are placed on a slop diet restriction. The first Have-Nots were determined by the first HoH Competition. However, for the first time in Big Brother, all subsequent Have-Nots were determined by the previous week's Have-Nots, choosing who would take their place. The current HoH and the previous week's Have-Nots could not be selected. The individual rows of the table follows the weekly selection chain process.

Summary of HouseGuests who became Have-Nots each week.

Week 1	Week 2	Week 3	Week 4	Week 5	Week 6	Week 7	Week 8	Week 9	Week 10-12
Nicole A.	Christmas	Bayleigh	Dani	none	David	Cody	Enzo	Nicole F.	none
Memphis	David	Enzo	Tyler		Da'Vonne	Christmas	Kevin	none
Kevin	Kaysar	Cody	Da'Vonne		Ian	none	none
Ian	Nicole F.	Janelle	none		none

Notes

• For the first week, the Have-Nots were chosen by randomly picking an envelope after being eliminated during the first HoH competition. If a HouseGuest's envelope contained a Have-Not card, that HouseGuest became a Have-Not for the week.
• The number of Have-Nots were four at the start but reduced to one every three HouseGuests evicted. The first reduction occurred in Week 3 after Janelle's eviction, the second occurred after Ian's eviction in Week 6, and the third after Week 8's Triple Eviction.
• There were no Have-Nots in Week 5.
• The first three HouseGuests eliminated from the endurance HoH competition on Day 37 became the Have-Nots for Week 6.
• Have-Nots ended in Week 10 for the season.

• ^Note 3 : During the finale, the Jury members voted for which finalist should win Big Brother: All-Stars.

Reception

Controversy and criticism

During Week 5, Memphis Garrett, Dani Briones, and Christmas Abbott made fun of Ian Terry's rocking coping mechanism for being on the autism spectrum. Dani stated, "I can't even look at him sometimes because [of] his constant movement. It stresses me out. I feel mean saying that, but I'll literally have to move." Memphis and Christmas joined in, with Memphis comparing Ian's demeanor to that of a horror movie.[75][76] Multiple houseguests were also involved in the matter, including Nicole Franzel, Cody Calafiore, and Enzo Palumbo. These houseguests laughed when comments were made, but did not directly make comments about Terry.[77][78] Da'vonne Rogers came under fire for gleefully referring to fellow African American contestant, David Alexander, as an Uncle Tom.[79] Da'vonne Rogers also came under fire for her bigoted remarks against fellow African American contestant, Kevin Campbell. She frequently denounced his African American heritage - which prompted producers to air a segment on racial identity. [80]
