Voyeuristic viewing: There's
good news for all the TV watchers
with a voyeuristic bent out there:
"Big Brother" is back for another
season, with another group of
contestants lined up and ready to
enter the Big Brother house.
The 20th season of the sum-
mer reality TV staple premieres
Wednesday, June 27, on CBS,
with Julie Chen ("The Talk") back
as host in a role that she's defined
since the very first season back in
2000. As in seasons past, three
episodes will air every week, on
Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sun-
days.
In each season of "Big Broth-
er," a number of contestants —
called "houseguests" — are put
in a home together where they
live under constant surveillance.
While inside, all communication
with the outside world is totally
cut off, and every week the
houseguests must evict one of
their fellows from the house —
and from the competition for the
prize money.
Of course, there are also week-
ly competitions that can make or
break a houseguest's chances.
The winner of the Head of House-
hold contest gets to nominate the
two houseguests who are up for
elimination that week, while food
and luxury competitions can
make a contestant's time in the
house a little more comfortable
— or a lot more miserable.
For "Big Brother's" most hard-
core fans, the fun doesn't stop
just because an episode isn't cur-
rently on TV. The "Big Brother"
house is decked out with dozens
of cameras, and subscribers can
tune in to their feeds any time at
the show's official website, where
they can watch the houseguests
eating, sleeping and doing all of
the not-so-exciting things that
everyone does daily. (Don't worry.
The cameras don't cover EVERY
inch of the house!)
Although the current focus is
obviously on the new season,
there is more good news about
the series. This past winter saw
the first ever celebrity edition of
the series, and the off-season of-
fering proved to be a big enough
hit that a second celebrity-fo-
cused season has been ordered.
There's no word on when that
will see the light of day, but even
after 18 years, "Big Brother" is
still going strong. The new season
premieres Wednesday, June 27,
on CBS.
Good 'Hair' day: NBC has se-
lected its next musical — again.
