This season will be the longest that CBS has ever had
The Big Brother Season 25 schedule shows that the upcoming season will be the longest that CBS has ever created. While some past seasons were over 90 days, CBS never aired a season that lasted 100 days. A tweet from Big Brother Gossip shows the breakdown of past seasons.
“I personally think 100 days is too many, 70-80 is enough,” the tweet reads. “Also, based on previous seasons, we will see, at a minimum, one evicted (banished) houseguest re-enter the game. That has been the case in every season longer than 90 days (and a few others).”
The graph from Big Brother Gossip shows which seasons featured evicted cast members who returned. Big Brother Season 3, which lasted 82 days, brought Amy Crews back into the house. Season 6, which was 80 days, brought Kaysar Ridha back. And season 9, which was 81 days, brought James Zinkand back. Big Brother Seasons 15-21 were above 90 days and featured returning houseguests.
No matter what happens with the next 100 days of Big Brother, fans should expect the unexpected. Host Julie Chen Moonves explained the theme this season.
“The Big Brother Multiverse is the theme for season 25,” she told Entertainment Tonight. “What does that mean? That means the game has turned upside down, anything can happen. Expect the unexpected more than ever …. We’ve never had alternate universes like this.”
Big Brother Season 25 airs Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays on CBS.
