Big Brother Season 27 Kicks Off: Know When And Where To Watch, Streaming Options
Yes, 'Big Brother' is back. Season 27 kicked off on Thursday (July 10) with a 90-minute special that left viewers stunned, confused and begging for more. This year's twist? A haunted hotel-style set. A shadowy masked figure. One mystery houseguest no one has seen. And a game soaked in mind games and manipulation.
CBS has titled it 'Big Brother: A Summer of Mystery'. And it is living up to every bit of the hype.
'Each item in the house has a purpose,' host Julie Chen Moonves said, giving fans a reason to look twice at every wallpaper pattern and lampshade. Nothing is random. Everything means something.
Seventeen contestants stepped into the eerie house, each with a story and strategy. Among them are a professional bull rider, a dungeon master, an aura painter, a marketing manager, an AI consultant, an event curator and an attorney.
The prize? A staggering $750,000 – but they will have to survive lies, alliances, betrayals and an environment designed to mess with their heads.
More than 100 cameras and microphones follow their every step, every whisper and every mistake. No corner is safe. No moment is private.
Here is how the madness unfolds each week on CBS:
Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET – 90-minute chaos
Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET – 60-minute eviction drama
Sundays at 8 p.m. ET – 60-minute weekend twists
Another 90-minute episode drops Sunday (July 13) to keep the tension boiling through week one.
And for those who want everything, the live feeds go live Sunday night (July 13) at 9:30 p.m. ET on Paramount+ Premium and Pluto TV. No edits. No filters. Just raw strategy and real-time meltdowns.
Still hungry? Catch 'Big Brother: Unlocked' every other Friday starting July 25, airing 8 to 9 p.m. ET. It is the extra dish of drama, packed with footage too wild or too weird for prime time.
Now let us talk how to tune in.

This is no ordinary season. Bunk beds – unused since Big Brother's first season in 2000 – are back, a nod to the chaos of the past. The set itself feels like a puzzle. Every painting, hallway and rug might be part of something bigger.
Someone inside that house is wearing a mask. Someone else is not who they say they are. And one contestant? No one even knows yet who they are.
What does all this mean? Uncertainty. Paranoia. Drama. Which, after 25 years, is exactly what keeps 'Big Brother' alive.
Get ready. The house has eyes. The walls have ears. And this summer, every alliance comes with a price.
The games have begun, and in Hotel Mystère, trust is the most dangerous lie of all.

Big Brother 27 Premiere: Vince Panaro named first HOH, mastermind twist threatens early eviction, return of Rachel Reilly
Big Brother 27 kicked off with the new 'Mystery of Summer' twist, where host Julie Chen Moonves was kidnapped by Mastermind, who also hid the HOH relic. In the first challenge, houseguests were split into two groups; one was sent to rescue Julie, the other to track down the relic. Zach Cornell found Julie and bagged $10,000. Jimmy Heagerty cracked the relic hunt and earned the power to decide who'd battle it out for the first Head of Household. Jimmy nominated himself, Vince Panaro, Adrian Rocha, and Ashley Hollis for the next challenge, which was a test of balancing weights on bars. Vince completed the challenge in one go and walked away with the win, becoming the first HOH of the season. But his power came with a major twist. Julie announced that the AI arena from earlier seasons is back, but now it's renamed BB Blockbuster. Now, Vince has to name three nominees, and those three will battle for safety before the eviction.

But she's not the 17th contestant. Not yet. One among the original 16 houseguests is the Mastermind's accomplice. If the others figure out who it is, that person gets instantly nominated. But if no one unmasks them, they stay and officially become the 17th houseguest. Vince might think he's calling the shots as HOH, deciding who stays and who walks. But if someone outs the Accomplice before eviction night, his nominees get spared (unless, of course, one of them is the Accomplice). That could blow up Vince's game early. Two of the three nominees are guaranteed to stay, and if someone plays the Power of Veto card, Vince will end up making more enemies. In his pre-show interviews, Vince said he'd rather play honest than cutthroat, but also hinted he'd change if the house vibe demands it. He walked in unemployed, eye on that $750K, and looks ready to play hard.

She's reality TV royalty, having done projects like The Amazing Race to Worst Cooks in America. She is tough and knows the game inside out. Fans think Vince should play smart as an ally and not target her, because if he comes at her and she survives, he's got a big enemy with serious game. Speaking about Rachel's return, Julie, in an interview with EW, said, 'I loved the Rachel chant when they saw her, but these houseguests are shrewd. They know this is not good for their game. She defied all odds with the whole house against her, no allies left, and won the game. She is a BB legend!'

Big Brother Season 27 Announces Mystery Houseguest and It's Not Who Fans Were Expecting
Big Brother has returned to the screens with a new season. The 27th season of the reality show premiered on July 10, and the fans finally met the guests who entered the controversial house. As the fans are aware of the makers throwing in unexpected twists in between the episodes, this time was no different. Right after the introduction of the contestants, the viewers were informed that there is a 17th mystery houseguest, playing the game alongside the other participants. As for the reality show, Julie Chen Moonves has stepped out to host Big Brother. To tease the audience about the mystery guest, Mooves also claimed that the person is 'very polarizing.' The statement has confused the internet, which has been guessing it to be Rachel Reilly. Is Rachel Reilly the mystery houseguest in Big Brother? While the fans of the show went on to debate over the mystery houseguest on social media, they believed that Rachel Reilly was the one. However, Moonves announced during the premiere episode that the latter was the 16th contestant and would play in the open. The host also added that the 17th participant was already in the house and responsible for the power outage and other incidents that took place during the episode. The contestants were then presented with a challenge. They were asked to figure out who the mystery player was. If they were able to find out, the contestant would leave the game immediately. If not, the person stays in the game, keeping his/her identity under wraps. While the guessing game continues, only time will tell who is wearing the mask of the 17th houseguest. Big Brother is available to stream on CBS.
