Big Brother 27 welcomes back host Julie Chen Moonves, who’s led the show since it premiered in 2000.

In addition, Tucker Des Lauriers was voted America’s Favorite Houseguest.

What Big Brother 27 Supersized Schedule Means For The Show
CBS Is Still Very Much Invested In The Reality Competition Series After 25 Years
It’s thrilling that CBS is still so invested in Big Brother, even after 25 years on the air. This new supersized schedule means that fans will be gifted with more Big Brother than ever before. With extra time in the Wednesday episodes, viewers will be able to gain more insight into the houseguests’ gameplay. While the live feeds can fill in the blanks, it’ll be more convenient to see more footage on the CBS episodes of the show.

Unlike other reality competition shows that have run out of steam after decades on the air, Big Brother always finds new ways to surprise and entertain its fans. Also, with all-new houseguests, fans will have the chance to root for a whole new group of contestants.
