As always, expect the unexpected from a new season of ‘Big Brother’!
This year, Big Brother is celebrating its 25th season – an exciting landmark for the long-running reality competition. In recent years, the series has significantly improved its diversity and inclusion of people with different backgrounds, races, and sexual orientations.
On BB23, Xavier Prather became the first Black person to win Big Brother. Then, on BB24, Taylor Hale became the first Black woman to win a regular season of the show. Given that season 25 is a big landmark for the series, expectations are very high that BB25 will deliver fun, drama, strategy, and backstabbing.
A record-breaking 17 houseguests have now been chosen to compete on Big Brother 25 for a grand prize of $750,000. Let the games begin!
