Very sad news today out of the reality television universe:
Cassandra Waldon, a memorable CBS personality who became the first-ever Big Brother contestant to enter the house on the U.S. version of this program, has been killed.
Welp, that was quite a ride, wasn't it?
On Wednesday night, not only did Big Brother name yet another seasonal champion -- but host Julie Chen also addressed the rampant racism and sexism that plagued the reality show all summer long.
Ever since Kato won the HOH competition on Thursday night, he and his allies have been chatting about the idea of evicting Ryan if there was a replacement nominee.
The pre-edited segments of Mondays mostly live installment of Celebrity Big Brother saw that plan gathering steam, with Kato doubling down on Tom, Natalie, and Lolo that one of them needed to win the veto.
When the Celebrity Big Brother live feeds opened on Tuesday night, many eagle-eyed viewers noticed a glaring omission to the cast:
Anthony Scaramucci. The man who lasted ten or eleven days inside the White House had seemingly left the Big Brother house in just six days.
Celebrity Big Brother turned up the heat for the second episode of the season, and the gameplay finally got underway.
The good thing here is that these celebrities actually know what's expected of them, and set out to put on a good show for viewers.
Celebrity Big Brother Season 2 got underway on Monday night, and it found 12 celebrities (if you can call most of them that!) entering the house to battle for a cash prize.
There was a Real Housewife (Kandi Burruss), Lindsay Lohan's mother (Dina Lohan), Anthony Scaramucci, and even that loser Ryan Lochte.
Big Brother alum Christmas Abbott was arrested for an alleged attack on her baby daddy's side piece.
Now, she isn't hitting back at the allegations directly, but she's put up a cryptic post.
According to official police reports, it was not a very merry Tuesday afternoon for former Big Brother contestant Christmas Abbott.
TMZ and Us Weekly both confirm that the 36-year old reality star turned herself into Tampa authorities yesterday, at which time she was booked for felony criminal mischief.
Big Brother brought the jurors together one final time to crown a winner Wednesday night, but did the right person win?
There was one last blindside, a surprise engagement and one final "I'm Julie Chen Moonves," and it all resulted in one of the best finales for this veteran CBS reality series yet.
Big Brother aired its usual pre-finale clip show Sunday night, meaning fans were left in the dark over who won the first two rounds of the final HOH competition.
Thankfully, both rounds played out on the live feeds ahead of the episode, meaning we know who won which competition, and the plan for the live finale.
With a few days left of Big Brother Season 20, Thursday's episode was all about taking one houseguest out of the equation and leaving us with the final three.
The episode picked up with JC's HOH win, and Kaycee, Angela, and Tyler worried about their future in the game for the first time in a while.
It was the end of the line for one houseguest on Wednesday's special eviction episode of Big Brother.
The host once again introduced herself as "Julie Chen Moonves," meaning she's brushing off all of the controversy she stirred up on Thursday night.
At this point, Julie Chen is as synonymous with Big Brother as racism, homophobia and stunning evictions.
And yet fans of this long-running reality show are now refreshing their browsers every other minute in order to learn the answer to the following question:
With all of the drama going on with Julie Chen stepping away from The Talk, many have wondered whether she's about to be evicted from Big Brother.
While we still don't know whether the show will even exist at this point next year, there is still a game to be played, and Wednesday's special episode will feature a Power of Veto, an eviction, an HOH competition, and a nominations ceremony.
Brett is out, but who's next?
The stakes are at an all-time high as Level Six is very close to having the remaining three members make up the final three of Big Brother Season 20.
Julie Chen returned to CBS Thursday night, and got ready to evict two houseguests, but what did she say about Les Moonves?
Double eviction episodes of the reality series are generally the most dramatic, but the biggest source of drama came from the final few moments when the host paid a stunning tribute to her embattled husband, Les Moonves.
The Level Six alliance has been running things all summer long inside the Big Brother house, and given that the end of the game is in sight, it's high time they all turned on each other.
Wednesday's edition picked up with Haleigh and Sam on the block. For the former, this was predictable because the rest of her alliance had been sent packing, so it was logical.
Sunday's episode of Big Brother was light on the gameplay.
The reason?
With less than three weeks of Big Brother Season 20 left, loyalties are beginning to waver as we approach finale night.
We picked up with Haleigh continuing to worry about her fate in the game, and it was rubbing Tyler the wrong way.
Who will be sent home?
That was the big question on Wednesday's Big Brother which picked up mere moments after Tyler put both Scottie and Haleigh back up on the block with the aim of sending one of them out the door.
When a former player returns to the Big Brother house, the general rule of thumb is that panic sets in for the houseguests who voted that player out.
That's what happened at the top of Sunday's episode of the CBS reality series. Everyone was seemingly happy about Scottie's return, but he admitted to the diary room that these players voted him out.
Big Brother brought a former player back to the game Thursday night.
Yes, we're at the stage of the game in which the players are dwindling, so a returnee is just what the producers ordered to keep the Big Brother train going for a little while longer.
Faysal Shafaat and Haleigh Broucher will go down as one of Big Brother's worst showmances.
It's been very one-sided, and that's because Haleigh thought that getting into a relationship with a man she's known for weeks was absurd.
