Expect the unexpected.
“Big Brother” fans have been hearing that slogan for the last 25 years on the CBS hit reality TV competition show. And the classic “Big Brother” phrase is more than appropriate once again for Season 27, which premieres on July 10.
The “Big Brother” houseguests will enter a Hotel Mystère house and there promises to be a bevy of twists beginning during the premiere, including a masked visitor and a secret accomplice, plus a mystery houseguest.
What won’t change are the hundreds of cameras that will follow houseguests’ every move as they navigate social and strategic dynamics throughout the next three months.
Four years ago, Xavier Prather, then a Milwaukee attorney who got his law degree at Marquette University, won the show during season 21. He was the first Black winner in “Big Brother” history after capturing every vote. Prather was also the first winner to take the $750,000 grand prize (previous winners won $500,000). Prather returned to the “Big Brother” house to participate in a holiday-themed spindoff a couple years ago where he advanced to the finale.
