List of episodes

Over the course of the season, the HouseGuests participated in a series of competitions to win power and safety to avoid being eliminated, referred to as "evicted". In the finale episode, previous nine evicted HouseGuests, known as the Jury, voted on who they thought should win the game out of the last two HouseGuests remaining. The HouseGuest who received the most votes would be declared the winner. Prior to the live finale, a public vote is held to determine who would win the title America's Favorite HouseGuest and a prize of $25,000. Jackson Michie was declared the winner of the season in a 6–3 jury vote over Holly Allen while Nicole Anthony won the public vote for America's Favorite HouseGuest.

Despite receiving negative reviews from fans and critics, on September 5, 2019, CBS confirmed that the series was renewed for a twenty-second season.

Format edit

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.[2] The HouseGuests are sequestered with no contact with the outside world.[3] 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.[4][5] Each week, the HouseGuests compete in competitions 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.[6] The winner of the HoH competition is immune from eviction and selects two HouseGuests to be nominated for eviction.[7] 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.[8] 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.[9] 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.[10] The viewing public is able to award an additional prize of $25,000 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.[11]

On Day 1, 16 new HouseGuests moved into the newly designed Big Brother house for up to 99 days and a chance to win the grand prize of $500,000. Following the move-in, the HouseGuests joined each other in the living room for formal introductions over champagne. As the HouseGuests began to settle in to the House, Julie informed them that they would vote for a Camp Director, who would be safe from the first eviction and have unprecedented power in the game. Some HouseGuests campaigned for Camp Director while others did not wish to have the role. In the backyard, each HouseGuest voted for who they thought should be the Camp Director. Michie won with ten votes. Julie then informed Michie that he would be forced to banish four people from the game. The four banished people would then compete against each other head-to-head with three of the four re-entering the game while the fourth would remain banished and be eliminated from the game.[21]

The winner of each week will receive a power. The competing HouseGuests must smell the three trashcans in front of them as well as other items and try to match the smell in their trashcans. Once they think they've identified the smell they must hang the identifier from the can and must buzz in once all three cans are labeled. The first HouseGuest to correctly identify all three items will win. Cliff, Isabella, Kathryn, Nicole and Ovi competed in the first week. At the end of the third round, Ovi correctly identified all three smells and won the competition. The power Ovi received allows Ovi to make the current HoH rename their nominees for the week in the middle of the night once all others are asleep.

The HouseGuest with the most points at the end of the competition won the PoV. Sam won with 21 points, then began debating on whether he should use the PoV, meanwhile, Christie begins thinking of a potential replacement nominee if the veto is used.

The twist allows the evicted HouseGuests to remain inside the house where they live upstairs in a special room. They will continue to live inside but not participate in competitions or evictions. Once four HouseGuests are in Camp Comeback, they will compete against each other for a chance to re-enter the game. David then re-entered the house.

If their water was running low, they had to refill it to have more time. After 30 minutes, they could not fill their aqua clocks anymore. After their aqua clock ran out, their score was the number of frogs that they stacked. The HouseGuest with the highest score won the Power of Veto and a five-day trip to Fiji.

On Day 23, by a 10–1 vote, with Michie casting the only vote for Jessica, Kemi was the second to be evicted and joined David and Ovi in Camp Comeback.

  • Head of Household ("Power Shot"): HouseGuests take turn throwing arrows underhand at a target with points. The HouseGuest whose arrow lands on the highest point ring wins the Head of Household; however, if someone does not want to be the HoH, then they could aim at two red dots at the top of the board, one earning them $5,000 and the other one earning them safety for the week.

  • Whacktivity Competition ("Panic Comp: Madagascar Mayhem"): HouseGuests had to search through Madagascar hissing cockroaches for rebus puzzles to solve a message: Don't meet Julie on eviction night.

The eight, along with Sam, start a new alliance called Unde9able.

  • Power of Veto ("The Haunting of Kaitlyn Herman"): Former Big Brother 20 Kaitlyn Herman returned to host the competition.

After picking players for the Power of Veto competition, Jack used his Chaos Power to force a re-draw on the three additional players.

  • Power of Veto ("Take It Off"): Similar to the first Roadkill competition in Big Brother 18, each houseguest had to strip down to their swimsuits while holding down all three buttons. This time, it was on a jet ski and any buttons released will speed up the timer: 10 times for one button, 30 times for two buttons and 60 times for all three buttons. Michie won the Power of Veto and, on Day 34, saved himself off the block, forcing Cliff to nominate Isabella as the replacement nominee, while Christie elected not to use the Panic ability for the second Veto Meeting in a row with only two more opportunities remaining to use it.[45]

  • Power of Veto ("Counting Sheep on BB Farm"): In head-to-head rounds, HouseGuests were given a target number and had to herd sheep, identified with a number, into a sheep pen. The sum of the numbers the sheep represented had to equal the target number. The HouseGuest to get to the target number first won the round and another round would start. Nick won and, on Day 41, saved himself off the block, forcing Holly to nominate Kathryn as the replacement nominee after Christie did not use her Panic Power for the third week in a row.[51]

A plan was set in motion to flip the vote to evict Kathryn and use Sam to go after the Six Shooters; however, after a very hectic lead up to eviction, including the breakup of the dominant Six Shooters alliance shown on Sunday's episode, the plan crumbled and flipped back to a unanimous vote by the time Chen Moonves announced it was time to vote. On Day 44, by a unanimous vote of 9–0, Sam was evicted.

Shown in a flashback, the full story of the chaotic, yet unsuccessful effort to flip the vote to evict Kathryn was explained. The fight ultimately ended up with Christie and Michie yelling at each other over a "secret trio" of Kathryn, Holly and Michie. As a result, the Six Shooters alliance fractured into smaller alliances of duos and trios. Kathryn, who had been affiliated with the Six Shooters alliance, was cast out. Cliff, Nick, Nicole and Jessica overheard the fight; Kathryn joined them after being outcast.

  • Head of Household ("Camp Expo"):[b] Holly gave the HouseGuests true or false questions about the pictures that they had just studied. If they got it right, they moved on to the next round, but if they got it wrong, they were eliminated from the competition.

  • Power of Veto ("Tossed in Space"): HouseGuests took turn catapulting an object into an area with a certain number of points. The HouseGuest who received the fewest points would receive the prize or punishment associated with their placement. The next person who was knocked out could either trade their current prize for their prize, or keep their prize. The HouseGuest to finish with the most points in the final round was able to pick whichever prize they wanted. In the end, Jack and Michie won a punishment, Tommy won a costume, Kathryn won a trip to Hawaii, Nick won $5,000 and Jessica won the Golden Power of Veto. Talks began to erupt about where Nick's vote lies after Jessica overheard Nick tell Christie that he is voting out Michie. Jessica made sure Nick was voting out Jack. Jessica talks with Holly, Kathryn, Nicole and Michie about potentially removing Michie off the block and putting Nick up after they talked about how he was playing both sides. However, on Day 48, Jessica decided not to use the Power of Veto, keeping her own nominations the same.[57]
72620"Episode 20"Days 48–51August 8, 2019 (2019-08-08)3.87[60]1.0/6[60]

Michie said he wouldn't campaign against Jack. The former Six Shooters had a meeting in the Have-Not room, but nothing was decided upon except for the fact that the "Six Shooters" alliance is done. Jack talked with Nick and Cliff to try to get their votes. On Day 51, by a vote of 6–2, with Analyse and Christie casting the only votes for Michie, Jack was evicted and became the first jury member. In his eviction interview, Jack was shown clips of controversial comments he'd made during the season.

  • Head of Household ("Time Me a River"): Inspired by Big Brother 20's "Perfect Timing," HouseGuests had to get to the other side of the yard in a canoe as close to nine seconds as possible. The HouseGuest with their time closest to nine seconds won the Head of Household. Tommy won with a time of 8.9 seconds.[59]
Week 7
72721"Episode 21"Days 51–52August 11, 2019 (2019-08-11)4.581.2/7[62]

Tommy plans on targeting Kathryn; he talks with Christie about plans where she would be guaranteed to go home. Tommy also talks about getting the Six Shooters (minus Jack) back together for the week.

  • America's Field Trip Competition ("Eggscape the Coop"): After America voted, Analyse, Christie and Michie competed in the competition. The HouseGuests had to transfer eggs through walls made of chicken wire. At the end of the wall, they had to roll the egg and knock down four pieces of wood spelling out the word SAFE. After all four boards were knocked down, they finished the competition. Michie finished first and received immunity. Analyse finished second and received a punishment. This meant Christie did not finish and thus lost the competition, becoming a special third nominee.

Nick promises to Tommy and Christie that if he wins the Power of Veto, he would remove Christie off the block. Analyse receives her punishment: she has to wear a chicken costume. On Day 52, Cliff and Kathryn were nominated for eviction by Tommy, alongside Christie.[61]

  • Power of Veto ("OTEV the Paranoid Pigeon"): At the beginning of each round, the HouseGuests were given a clue about a past competition by OTEV. They then had to slide down, find the item with the correct competition name on it and climb back up. The last HouseGuest to make it to the top (or if a HouseGuest got the answer wrong) would be eliminated from the competition. The last HouseGuest standing would win the Power of Veto.

As a part of Prank Week, on Day 64, HouseGuests had to stay up during the night to listen to an exorbitant number of bird names and sounds as a joke to make the HouseGuests think that was for the Head of Household competition, but before the comp, they were informed about Prank Week and that the competition had nothing to do with bird sounds and names.

They also discuss how Cliff and Nicole would be the only votes to evict, meaning that whoever they decided to evict would go home. However, Nicole tells them that she is using it but promises that Holly will not be going home.

Twists edit

Over the course of the game, several twists to the format were introduced.

Camp Director edit

On the first premiere night, Julie announced that the HouseGuests would vote for a Camp Director. That person would be safe from the first eviction as well, but they had to select four HouseGuests to "banish". Those four HouseGuests would then compete to stay in house. The three winners would go back into the house while the loser stayed banished and did not return. Michie was elected Camp Director and banished Cliff, David, Jessica, and Kemi. David lost the competition and was evicted.

Whacktivity Competition edit

On the second premiere night, Julie announced the Whacktivity Competition where a game-changing twist would be unleashed onto the house. Every week for the first three weeks, five designated HouseGuests, unless previously evicted (denoted with strikethrough text), would play in the competition to win a special power in the house.

Not used

Camp Comeback edit

During the first live eviction show, Julie announced to the audience that the first person voted out of the game would not go anywhere. After revealing Ovi's eviction, the HouseGuests were told that the evicted HouseGuest would not leave the house as normal, but live inside the house as part of Camp Comeback. At this time, David returned to the house. One of the first four HouseGuests to be eliminated would win their way back into the game. The evicted HouseGuests would not compete in competitions or ceremonies and would sleep in a special bedroom. The four HouseGuests, David, Ovi, Kemi, and Cliff, competed immediately after Cliff's eviction on Day 30. Cliff won and made his way back into the game, while David, Ovi, and Kemi were forced to immediately leave the house for good.

This twist also postponed Have-Nots as the Have-Not room was being used by the HouseGuests in Camp Comeback.

America's Field Trip edit

A twist called America's Field Trip was teased at the end of the July 25, 2019 eviction episode. On the August 1, 2019 eviction episode, it was revealed that America would vote for three HouseGuests who would compete against one another, with the winner being given immunity for the week, the runner-up being given a punishment and the loser being a third nominee. Should this third nominee be vetoed, no replacement nominee would be named, with only the HoH's two nominees facing the eviction vote. Voting for America's Field Trip opened shortly after the twist was revealed on the August 1, 2019. Voting closed on August 9, 2019, with the competition taking place shortly after. That same day, Analyse, Christie and Michie were voted in to compete in the competition. Michie won, meaning he was immune from eviction for that week. Analyse was the runner-up and received a punishment. Christie lost and was nominated as the third nominee.

Prank Week edit

During the eviction episode on August 23, it was revealed that Prank Week would take place during Week 9 in the House.

America's Prankster

The main feature of the week was America's Prankster twist. The HouseGuest voted as "America's Prankster" anonymously nominated one HouseGuest for eviction at the Nomination Ceremony, leaving the Head of Household with only one nomination. If their nominee is taken off the block by the Power of Veto, they will also anonymously name the replacement during the Veto Meeting. Holly, as Head of Household, was not eligible to be voted for America's Prankster. Voting opened for America's Prankster on August 22, 2019 at 6:30 pm PT (9:30 pm ET) and closed on August 23, 2019 at 9:00 am PT (12:00 pm ET).[101] Nick won and, on Day 66, nominated Christie.

Other Pranks

Big Brother also played various pranks on the HouseGuests and the viewers during the week that did not affect the game. The pranks of Prank Week included:

  • BB Birdwatching Tour: Big Brother made the HouseGuests stay up during the night with the "Big Brother Birdwatching Audio Tour" – which featured bird sounds and the names of birds. Big Brother intended to prank them by making the HouseGuests believe that the Audio Tour would be the subject matter for the next Head of Household competition and they would stay awake to remember the Audio Tour. It wasn't until the live Head of Household competition when the HouseGuests were told that the competition would not involve the bird sounds.
  • Pie punishment: Cliff, Jessica, and Nicole got the lowest scores in the Head of Household competition and received a punishment. Periodically throughout the day or night, Big Brother would call Cliff, Jessica, and Nicole to make a pie and throw it in the face of either themselves or another HouseGuest.
  • Interrupted sleep: Whether it be for the pie punishment or just to mess with the HouseGuests, Big Brother would wake HouseGuests in the middle of the night.
  • Opening sequence: At the beginning of Wednesday's episode, the starting sequence showed videos and images from last season.
  • Slimy Veto draw: At the Veto player draw, the box that held the HouseGuests' chips was full with slime, forcing Holly, Nick, and Christie to reach into the slime to pick the Veto players.
  • Zingbot 9000: Zingbot – the robot programmed to roast HouseGuests – made his annual visit to the house to "zing" the Final 8 HouseGuests. He made his appearance on Day 67 for the Power of Veto competition.
  • Clown spottings: Periodically on Day 69, Big Brother had clowns appear in the many windows around the House to scare the HouseGuests.

CBS announced that Big Brother had been renewed for a twenty-first season on May 15, 2019.[102] CBS later announced on May 20, 2019 that the twenty-first season was set to premiere on June 25, 2019.[103] Unnamed insiders close to the production of the show previously cast doubt if Julie Chen Moonves would return to host following sexual misconduct allegations against her husband, former CBS CEO Les Moonves.[104] Chen Moonves, however, returned for the second season of Celebrity Big Brother and it was later announced that she would return as host of the main series as well.[105] Casting for the season was open until April 5, 2019.[106] Allison Grodner and Rich Meehan returned as executive producers for the series which is produced by Fly on the Wall Entertainment, in association with Endemol Shine North America.[105] The season featured an initial timeslot change from previous seasons; new episodes aired on a Sunday/Tuesday/Wednesday schedule through the first six episodes before returning to a traditional Sunday/Wednesday/Thursday schedule as in previous seasons.[107] The 24/7 internet live feeds also returned with a CBS All Access subscription following the two-night season premiere on June 26.[108] Big Brother: After Dark returned on Pop for its fourteenth season overall and fifth season on Pop following the two-night premiere on June 26 or June 27, depending on viewers local time zones.[109] Off the Block with Ross and Marissa did not return for a second season as an aftershow interviewing HouseGuests after their eviction.[109] Replacing Off the Block, Big Brother host Chen-Moonves hosted extended interviews with the evicted HouseGuests from outside the house.

Casting edit

Kassting, Inc. returned to provide casting services for a twentieth consecutive season since Big Brother 2, with Robyn Kass serving as the casting director.[110][111]

Filming edit

 
Taken from the entryway of the house, the camp theme in the house can be seen from the hanging lanterns and the tree set piece. The ladder leading to the upstairs lounge, "treehouse" or "skybridge" is on the right. In the background, the living room featuring the LED light illuminated 23-foot triangular window can be seen.

As with previous seasons, the program is filmed at CBS Studios, soundstage 18 in Studio City, California in a custom-built two-story house.[112][113] The House is equipped with 94 high-definition cameras and over 113 microphones to monitor and record the HouseGuests.[114][115] The living room, three bedrooms, kitchen, dining room, bathroom and lounge room are located on the first floor.[116] The Head of Household bedroom and bathroom and an additional lounge area known as the "Sky Bridge" are located on the second floor.[116] The second floor is accessible by a ladder located in the entry way or a spiral staircase located in the kitchen next to the sliding glass doors that lead to the backyard.[116] The backyard area features outdoor amenities for the HouseGuests.[116] The house also features two diary rooms where the HouseGuests can privately share thoughts or send requests to producers of the series.[117]

Production design edit

The theme for this season is a summer camp called "Camp B.B."[118] The house, competitions and twists were designed around the camp theme. Entertainment Tonight showed the first look at the house with Kevin Frazier during their episode on the night of June 20, 2019.[119] Entertainment Tonight then released a sneak peek of the house through a brief tour on their website on June 21.[120] Meanwhile, a full house tour with Chen Moonves and other photos were released through Big Brother's and CBS' social media outlets including Instagram,[121][122] Twitter[123][124] and Facebook.[125][126] Big Brother 21 house theme matched the season's overall theme and received a camp theme; Production Designer Scott Storey designed the house's features.[127] The living room features a birch-wood coffee table and a large and a 23-foot triangular window illuminated by LED lights.[128] The first bedroom features a "sleeping under the stars" theme and includes two double-beds and the exterior of a camper.[129] The camper, is only a facade into the second bedroom which features three double-beds and is assumed to be that of a camp counselors bedroom.[129] The third and final downstairs bedroom is a sports-themed bedroom primarily based on archery.[129] In the kitchen, many of the appliances have been redone in an attempt to blend them in with the rest of the theme, with an electronic campfire added to the center of the formal dining table.[130] The downstairs lounge area received a boat theme, while the bathroom received a boat house-like theme.[131] The upstairs lounge area, for the first time in the series history, is also accessible by a ladder from the entryway and has been updated to resemble a tree house; the Head of Household bedroom and bathroom have been changed to resemble a Moroccan-style bedroom and is expected to resemble glamping.[132] The backyard features a pool with kayaks and an attached hot tub, lawn chairs surround the backyard which also features a pool table and a washer and dryer, workout equipment, outdoor lounge areas, a hammock and a mini-fridge.[133]

Prizes edit

The last remaining HouseGuest, Jackson Michie, received $500,000.[134] The runner-up of the season, Holly Allen, received $50,000 while the HouseGuest deemed America's Favorite HouseGuest, Nicole Anthony, received $25,000.[135] As part of a promotion for new CBS series Love Island, Sam Smith won a trip to Fiji in a Power of Veto competition.[136] During another Power of Veto competition, Kathryn Dunn received a trip to Hawaii and Nick Maccarone was awarded $5,000.[137] During a surprise luxury competition in Week 12, Michie won $10,000.

Reception edit

This season was the least-watched and lowest-rated season of the series with about a 20% decrease in viewers and 25% decrease in demographics from the previous season.[138] The season ended with an average viewership per episode of 4.38 million, over one million fewer than the previous lowest. Despite the decrease in ratings, CBS announced on September 5, 2019 that Big Brother was renewed for its twenty-second season and will premiere in the summer of 2020.[139][140]

Critical responses edit

Big Brother 21 was criticized negatively by critics and fans due to the HouseGuests' discriminatory tendencies.[141] Professor of African American studies and the UCLA Dean of Social Sciences, Darnell Hunt, stated, "Race is the central axis of social relationships. Even when, in public, we try to deny its significance, it creeps through in unexpected ways. When people are in a house like that 24 hours a day under those conditions, it's difficult to hide an inconvenient truth about American culture and society. The camera is the great equalizer."[142] However, the way CBS handled the situations was somewhat praised by viewers as they dedicated a time during the live finale to address them and let the HouseGuests explain themselves.[143][144] Justin Carriero of The Young Folks wrote, "These HouseGuests got away with a lot and they avoided the blowback by being in jury, so they had no idea what storm was heading their way. They needed to know what they did and how the public viewed them." He ended up rating the finale an eight on a scale from one to ten.[145] Overall, the season was criticized for its non-diverse casting, leniency with specific rules like Have-Not rules, and deceptive editing of the episodes compared to the events shown on the 24/7 Live Feeds.[146]

Racial optics edit

Following the two-night season premiere, HouseGuest Jackson Michie received the "Camp Director" power and was required to choose four HouseGuests to banish.[147] Michie chose David Alexander and Kemi Fakunle, the season's only two black HouseGuests, Jessica Milagros, a Latina plus-size model and Cliff Hogg, the oldest person in the house.[148][149] But, other viewers suggested that Michie only picked Fakunle due to lack of communication and that Alexander, Milagros and Hogg were only picked because they competed against him for the position of Camp Director.[150]

Big Brother is a reality show about a group of people who live together at times, the Houseguests may reveal prejudices and other beliefs that CBS does not condone. Views or opinions expressed by Houseguests are those of the individuals speaking and do not represent the views or opinions of CBS. Viewer discretion is advised.

CBS disclaimer reportedly appearing more since the incident[151]

Once the Live Feeds began, Jack Matthews started making obscene and prejudiced remarks about fellow HouseGuests Kemi Fakunle, Ovi Kabir, and Jessica Milagros, behind their backs.[152][153][154] Matthews was warned by production about comments made and to prevent further such comments.[155] Many of his comments were addressed in episode 20 during his post-eviction interview with Julie Chen Moonves where he denied racism being behind any of the comments, though he did apologize for his actions that were deemed offensive.[156]

Week 3 incident edit

During Week 3, an incident involving the dominant "Gr8ful" alliance, which was partially shown during episode 10, was sharply criticized by the viewing audience.[157] The incident started when Nicole Anthony confided in Isabella Wang, telling her that the majority alliance, spearheaded by Jack Matthews and Jackson Michie, would come after Wang and Nick Maccarone, but Wang, who was included in this majority alliance with Maccarone, immediately told the group about it. The alliance swiftly denied Anthony's idea that they would target the couple despite earlier conversations where they discussed targeting them. The group proceeded to speak very negatively of Anthony.[158][159] This incident was brought back up during the live finale to give the HouseGuests a chance to talk about the matter.

Have-Not cheating edit

During Week 4, Cliff Hogg, the then Head of Household, named Jackson Michie as one of the Have-Nots for the week.[160][161] Despite being named as a Have-Not, Michie was seen on the Live Feeds breaking the Have-Not rules by eating prohibited food behind the shower wall out of camera view.[162] Michie received no punishment normally given to HouseGuests who break the Have-Not rules.[146] After this incident, the Have-Nots aspect of the game was not included for the remainder of the season.[163]

Statements from CBS edit

"Well, in the case of Big Brother, a producer—we learned that a producer, in an attempt to get a soundbite from one of the houseguests overstepped. That producer was reprimanded, received unconscious bias training—as did all the producers on the show—and we don't believe that an incident like that will happen again."

Thom Sherman, CBS Executive responding to the incident in question[164]

At the 2019 Television Critics Association, CBS executives were questioned about diversity and racism issues on Big Brother.[165] In an open interview with CBS executives, Big Brother was accused of giving "contestants of color unfair cuts or early eliminations" as well as editing out comments by HouseGuests that have been interpreted as racist.[166][167] CBS executives defended editors of the show stating that it's difficult to edit days worth of content into 40 minutes.[168] CBS executives also stated that they would "closely reexamine Big Brother 21 and see if we can do better next year."[169]

million fewer than the previous lowest Despite the decrease in ratings CBS announced on September 5 2019 that Big Brother was renewed for its twenty second season and will premiere in the summer of 2020 139 140 Critical responses edit Big Brother 21 was criticized negatively by critics and fans due to the HouseGuests discriminatory tendencies 141 Professor of African American studies and the UCLA Dean of Social Sciences Darnell Hunt stated Race is the central axis of social relationships Even when in public we try to deny its significance it creeps through in unexpected ways When people are in a house like that 24 hours a day under those conditions it s difficult to hide an inconvenient truth about American culture and society The camera is the great equalizer 142 However the way CBS handled the situations was somewhat praised by viewers as they dedicated a time during the live finale to address them and let the HouseGuests explain themselves 143 144 Justin Carriero of The Young Folks wrote These HouseGuests got away with a lot and they avoided the blowback by being in jury so they had no idea what storm was heading their way They needed to know what they did and how the public viewed them He ended up rating the finale an eight on a scale from one to ten 145 Overall the season was criticized for its non diverse casting leniency with specific rules like Have Not rules and deceptive editing of the episodes compared to the events shown on the 24 7 Live Feeds 146 Racial optics editFollowing the two night season premiere HouseGuest Jackson Michie received the Camp Director power and was required to choose four HouseGuests to banish 147 Michie chose David Alexander and Kemi Fakunle the season s only two black HouseGuests Jessica Milagros a Latina plus size model and Cliff Hogg the oldest person in the house 148 149 But other viewers suggested that Michie only picked Fakunle due to lack of communication and that Alexander Milagros and Hogg were only picked because they competed against him for the position of Camp Director 150 Big Brother is a reality show about a group of people who live together at times the Houseguests may reveal prejudices and other beliefs that CBS does not condone Views or opinions expressed by Houseguests are those of the individuals speaking and do not represent the views or opinions of CBS Viewer discretion is advised CBS disclaimer reportedly appearing more since the incident 151 Once the Live Feeds began Jack Matthews started making obscene and prejudiced remarks about fellow HouseGuests Kemi Fakunle Ovi Kabir and Jessica Milagros behind their backs 152 153 154 Matthews was warned by production about comments made and to prevent further such comments 155 Many of his comments were addressed in episode 20 during his post eviction interview with Julie Chen Moonves where he denied racism being behind any of the comments though he did apologize for his actions that were deemed offensive 156 Week 3 incident edit During Week 3 an incident involving the dominant Gr8ful alliance which was partially shown during episode 10 was sharply criticized by the viewing audience 157 The incident started when Nicole Anthony confided in Isabella Wang telling her that the majority alliance spearheaded by Jack Matthews and Jackson Michie would come after Wang and Nick Maccarone but Wang who was included in this majority alliance with Maccarone immediately told the group about it The alliance swiftly denied Anthony s idea that they would target the couple despite earlier conversations where they discussed targeting them The group proceeded to speak very negatively of Anthony 158 159 This incident was brought back up during the live finale to give the HouseGuests a chance to talk about the matter Have Not cheating edit During Week 4 Cliff Hogg the then Head of Household named Jackson Michie as one of the Have Nots for the week 160 161 Despite being named as a Have Not Michie was seen on the Live Feeds breaking the Have Not rules by eating prohibited food behind the shower wall out of camera view 162 Michie received no punishment normally given to HouseGuests who break the Have Not rules 146 After this incident the Have Nots aspect of the game was not included for the remainder of the season 163 Statements from CBS edit Well in the case of Big Brother a producer we learned that a producer in an attempt to get a soundbite from one of the houseguests overstepped That producer was reprimanded received unconscious bias training as did all the producers on the show and we don t believe that an incident like that will happen again Thom Sherman CBS Executive responding to the incident in question 164 At the 2019 Television Critics Association CBS executives were questioned about diversity and racism issues on Big Brother 165 In an open interview with CBS executives Big Brother was accused of giving contestants of color unfair cuts or early eliminations as well as editing out comments by HouseGuests that have been interpreted as racist 166 167 CBS executives defended editors of the show stating that it s difficult to edit days worth of content into 40 minutes 168 CBS executives also stated that they would closely reexamine Big Brother 21 and see if we can do better next year 169 Viewing figures edit United States edit Viewership and ratings per episode of Big Brother 21 No Title
