July 5, 2000 – exactly 25 years ago today – a cultural oddity was unleashed on the public as a whole. Come hot in the heels of the phenomenon of instant pop culture that was Survivorwho created a month before, Big brother was to be the next CBS reality competition franchise.
Instead, the first season of the series that locked the strangers in a house together until a single one was left to assert that the price of $ 500,000 was an almost instant disaster in the grip of a drama-addverse public vote, to studio segments worthy of yawning with guests such as the online advisor AOL Regina Lewis, and random time sheets Words of the show. (I strongly recommend that you relive these confusing decisions and more here.)
But instead of canceling the series after a regrettable first season, the network surprised everyone by completely turning the show and bringing it back for a season 2 to do or a break. And the rest is history. Admittedly, a story filled with a clam that likes Showtune called Otev and a sassy and lively robot entitled The Zingbot… but a story nevertheless.
In honor of Big brother‘S 25th Anniversary, and to celebrate the incredible power of stay guilty of everyone, favorite of everyone – The season 27 starts on July 10 – we asked the master of ceremonies Julie Chen Moonves to choose the first 25 moments of the last 25 years, and let’s just say that you should expect … well, you know.

Jeff Schroeder made one of the most emblematic movements of the show in season 11 using the coup voted by fans to overthrow the head of household appointments a few moments before a living expulsion.

Jessie was expelled in a blind side, overturning the dynamics of the power of the season and cementing Jeff’s place as a fans favorite.

The Gobsmacopée house then obtains more shocking news: that America will choose the replacement candidate and that it will only be revealed the night of the live show just before the nominees compete in the Bbai arena for security. This scene was one for history books!
