About Big Brother
Big Brother is a hit reality game show where the contestants are a set of people, also called the house guests, live in a huge custom-built house. It is aired on CBS and has been one of the longest running reality TV shows to air on CBS. Under constant surveillance, the house guests are cut off completely from the external environment. They are not allowed to talk to people who are not part of the household. The name of the show has been inspired from George Orwell’s character called Big Brother from the novel Nineteen Eighty Four.
Every individual season does the shooting for a period of approximately 3 months. There are around twelve to fifteen shortlisted participants in the end.
There are competitions held weekly and the outcome can result in the eviction of a particular house guest. There is a grand prize of $500,000 for the person who wins in the end. Big Brother is looking for house guests for their newest season and people may walk-in to the open casting call locations without booking an appointment.
