Big Brother 20 (US) is the 20th season of the broadcasted edition of Big Brother (U.S.).
Development
The season was announced in August 2016 as part of a double renewal which gave the show its 19th and 20th seasons respectfully. The season will once again by produced by Endemol Shine North America and Fly on the Wall Entertainment alongside executive producers Allison Grodner and Rich Meehan.
Casting
CBS began allowing online applications in September 2017, however open casting calls did not begin until March 2018. In an interview with GoldDerby head executive producer Allison Grodner stated that season 20 would feature an all new cast. CBS would announce on June 12 that once again the cast would be revealed live on the CBS All-Access Live Feeds on June 18 at 11 AM ET/8 AM PT. The cast would go on to be a fresh cast of 16 new houseguests from all over the country.
Air Schedule
During the Big Brother Canada 6 finale, host Arisa Cox confirmed that the season would premiere on Global in June 2018, although no official word had come from CBS or anyone involved with the Big Brother U.S. (franchise) at that point. However, after an unusual break in press by CBS, it was announced on May 22, 2018 that the season would premiere on June 27, 2018. It was also revealed that the summer airing schedule was to change for the first time since Big Brother 15. However it was later revealed that the Wednesday night episode would move to the nine o'clock hour after the season premiere. CBS's Initial Schedule shows the following: •Wednesday, June 27 - 8:00-10:00 PM Big Brother (two-hour Season 20 premiere) •Thursday, June 28 - 9:00-10:00 PM Big Brother (Thursday premiere) •Sunday, July 1 - 8:00-9:00 PM Big Brother (Sunday premiere) •Wednesday, July 4 - 9:00-10:00 PM Big Brother (moves to regular Wednesday time period)
•Premiere Competitions: The first competition starts almost immediately on premiere night with three challenges that will yield a game-changing power—and two unprecedented punishments. The houseguests were divided into two groups for two competitions. The winners of each competitions would advance to the final Immunity Competition while the houseguests that would come in last would be punished. The winner of the final competition would give immunity to two out of four groups to enter.
•House Division: Similar to Big Brother Canada 6's opening night twist, the houseguest who won the final premiere competition would have to grant immunity to half of the house, leaving the other half to play in HoH and be nominated for eviction. The house was split into four groups of four, based on the groups that they entered the house in.
•BB App Store: Similar to season 19's Den of Temptation, viewers will go online to the CBS website to fill out a survey about the houseguests. The survey results will end with some houseguests trending more than others. The houseguests will then be able to enter the new "BB App Store" room and will be able to choose different powers and advantages or punishments. The only difference to the Den of Temptation is that viewers will not be directly vote for one person to get a power but is based on how the audience perceives the dynamics in the house. The apps are divided up into two different types of apps, "Power Apps" and "Crap Apps". Power apps are good for your game while crap apps are given as punished.
•Hacker Competition: A new competition that was introduced for the first two weeks of the Jury stage of the game. The winner of this competition gains the ability to anonymously replace one of the two nominees selected by the HOH (however, they can choose not to), nullify one eviction vote, and select the player of their choosing to compete in the Veto competition.
With this season being the 20th season anniversary of the show, nods to all of the past seasons will be spread around the season. In every week except Week 5, there was a nod to a prior season, whether it was an old competition, an alumni visiting, or an old twist/punishment making a return.
