Selena Gomez, ‘Yellowjackets,’ Diego Luna snubbed of Emmy nominations
USA TODAY TV critic Kelly Lawler’s list of 2025 Emmy nomination snubs includes Selena Gomez and a show that missed out for the first time since 2012.
Season 27 of the hit reality competition series “Big Brother” returned last week with the official theme of “Big Brother: A Summer of Mystery.”
The series follows a group of people living together in a house outfitted with 94 HD cameras and 113 microphones, recording their every move 24 hours a day, according to CBS. Every week, someone is voted out of the house, with the last remaining houseguest receiving a grand prize of $750,000.
This year, houseguests will spend the summer inside the Hotel Mystère, an enigmatic yet luxurious version of the “Big Brother” house defined by hidden passageways, a wineless wine cellar, a vintage aesthetic, a poison bar and a suspense-filled atmosphere.
“This new group of houseguests is stepping into a summer where nothing is as it seems, where every twist rewrites the rules, and every turn conceals a hidden agenda,” CBS said about the upcoming season.
Here’s what to know about Season 27 of “Big Brother” and how to watch it.
