L-R: ‘Big Brother’ winners Hayden Moss, Taylor Hale andJag bains
Since the beginning of July 2, 2000, the United States version of reality series Big Brother has crowned 26 regular season winners. Each season of the show, which debuted with a different format than how it’s structured today. The first season, which debuted to not-so-rave reviews a month after Survivor launched, was the only one whose winner was chosen by the public. The show’s first season contained 70 episodes, and eventually, Eddie McGee emerged victorious. After that, the format was changed to contestants evicting each other. As the seasons went on, different wrinkles were introduced to the contestants competing in the house, such as all-star rounds that bring back former contestants and sometimes even winners, enemies entering the house, or ex-lovers.
Other wrinkles in different seasons had houseguests pair up or divide into teams of four. The objective of the reality competition is to remain the last houseguest in the Big Brother house after contestants vote each other to be evicted or kicked off the show. The final contestant gets a large cash prize at the end. The second-place person also receives a prize, as does America’s Favorite HouseGuest. In the show’s finale, the evicted houseguests form a jury and vote between the final two remaining competitors.
