List of Big Brother (American TV series) houseguests

Last updated

Big Brother , the American version of the worldwide television show, features contestants (called houseguests) that compete against each other to be the last Big Brother house resident and win $500,000, later $750,000. [1] The series first aired in 2000, and 26 seasons have been completed as of 2024. Big Brother contestants are chosen by the show's producers through an application process that includes a videotape submission, semi-final interviews at select cities, and a final interview in Los Angeles. Contestants are also recruited through various means but then follow the same subsequent interview process to appear on the show. [2]

As of season 27, a total of 365 participants have competed in Big Brother, Big Brother: Over the Top, and Big Brother Reindeer Games and 45 of them have competed in multiple seasons. A total of 34 participants have competed in Celebrity Big Brother, which increases the total number of Big Brother participants to 383. Big Brother 7 was an All-Star edition, which featured 14 returning houseguests chosen either through viewer vote or by producers from an initial group of 20 candidates. [3] For Big Brother 11 , four past houseguests were given the chance to return based on the results of the season's first competition, after which one of them entered the house. Season 13 featured three "Dynamic Duos" from previous seasons, season 14 brought in four Big Brother veterans to coach the 12 new houseguests and season 18 saw the return of four returnees playing the game with 12 new houseguests. In Big Brother: Over the Top , former houseguests Jason Roy and Jozea Flores were given the chance to return through a public vote. Roy won the public vote and became the 13th houseguest. The 19th season brought along the return of a past houseguest as the 17th houseguest, but that houseguest was actually there to take the spot of one of the 16 new houseguests, as a consequence for one of the newbies taking a temptation. Season 22 was another All-Star edition, featuring 16 returning houseguests, all chosen by production. Big Brother Reindeer Games was a special holiday themed "Legends" edition, with 9 returning houseguests, as well as 3 other former houseguests participating solely as hosts. The 27th season brought along the return of a past houseguest as the surprise 17th houseguest.

Although the HouseGuests compete with one another, the series allows viewers to witness the relationships formed in the House ("Showmances") and the behavior of the HouseGuests. [4] [5] As of July 2025, there have been a total of 69 Showmances formed in the House; nine of them that are still ongoing to date later took their relationships into the Outside World once a Big Brother season ended. [note 1] [6]

While locked inside the House, the HouseGuests are free to leave the game for any unforeseen reason ("Walking"), [7] though they will not be allowed re-entry; as of September 2022, only four HouseGuests have left the game over the course of its history. [note 2] Although this has rarely occurred, should any of the HouseGuests break the rules of the game, they are immediately removed from the House ("Getting expelled") and barred from return; [8] [9] as of November 2023, only five expulsions have occurred throughout the history of the show. [10]

Notes

  1. Of those nine ongoing real-life Showmances, only two of them were formed outside of the show.
  2. Season 8 winner "Evel" Dick Donato was the lone exception; although he left the game early in Season 13 due to being HIV-positive, he did make an surprise appearance on that season's final night.[ citation needed ]
