Format
Big Brother depicts a group of contestants, known as HouseGuests, that live inside a custom-built house outfitted with cameras and microphones recording their every move 24 hours a day.[2] The HouseGuests are sequestered in the Big Brother House with no contact with the outside world.[3] During their stay the HouseGuests share their thoughts on events and other houseguests inside a private room referred to as the Diary Room.[4][5] Each week, the HouseGuests compete in several competitions in order to win power and safety inside the house. At the start of each week, the HouseGuests compete in the Head of Household (abbreviated as "HoH") competition.[6] The winner of the HoH competition is immune from eviction and will select two HouseGuests to be nominated for eviction.[7] Then six HouseGuests are selected to compete in the Power of Veto (abbreviated as "PoV") competition: the reigning HoH and the nominees are guaranteed to play with the remaining slots being given to other HouseGuests selected by random draw. The winner of the PoV competition wins the right to either revoke the nomination of one of the nominated HouseGuests or leave them as is. If the veto winner uses this power, the HoH must immediately nominate another HouseGuest for eviction. The PoV winner is also immune from being named as the replacement nominee.[8] On eviction night, all HouseGuests must vote to evict one of the nominees. The Head of Household and the nominees are not allowed to vote. This compulsory vote is conducted in the privacy of the Diary Room. In the event of a tie, the Head of Household will cast the tie-breaking vote in front of all the HouseGuests in the living room. The nominee with the most votes is evicted from the house.[9] The last nine evicted HouseGuests, referred to as the Jury, are sequestered in a separate house following their eviction and ultimately decide the winner of the season. The Jury are not allowed to watch the show except for competitions and ceremonies that include all of the remaining HouseGuests. They are not shown any Diary Room interviews or any footage that may include strategy or details regarding nominations.[10] The viewing public is able to award an additional prize of $25,000 to their favorite HouseGuest of the season. All evicted HouseGuests are eligible to win this award except for those who either voluntarily leave or are forcibly removed for rule-breaking.[11]
Main twists
Safety Suite
On the second episode, the Safety Suite twist was introduced. For each of the first three weeks, HouseGuests could opt in to compete in a Safety Suite competition to earn immunity as well as immunity for one other player. Each HouseGuest could only compete in one of the three Safety Competitions. The players who chose to participate were told to all the players. The player that won the Safety Suite competition would be safe for the week and would have to choose a +1 to be safe along with them, with the +1 getting a punishment as well.

On July 23, 2020, CBS confirmed the season would be an All-Stars edition with previous HouseGuests taking part. This is the second All-Stars edition in the history of the program after the seventh season in 2006.[12] The HouseGuests were revealed during the live season premiere on August 5, 2020.[13]

Production
Impacts of COVID-19
Dates for open casting calls were announced on February 28 and were due to start on March 7.[19] All open casting calls were cancelled on March 10 due to concerns over the COVID-19 pandemic however potential applicants were urged to continue submitting online applications.[20] An article from The Hollywood Reporter on April 7 noted that CBS would be without new seasons of Big Brother and Love Island during the summer. Unnamed sources to the publication said the network would rely on repeats of their scripted shows that "have historically repeated well."[21] Kelly Kahl, President of CBS Entertainment, said the network was "optimistic" about airing both shows (Big Brother and Love Island) during the summer "a little later than usual" in an interview with Deadline on May 19, 2020. [22] Pre-production began on July 2, 2020 with the crew starting construction on the house located in Los Angeles. Deadline reported the crew was following strict health and safety guidelines which including being tested for COVID-19, wearing personal protective equipment and observing social distancing during construction. Fly on the Wall Entertainment and Endemol Shine North America had to wait for approvals from unions and guilds to officially begin filming.[23] CBS revealed several changes to the program to ensure the health and safety of the HouseGuests, staff and production crew.[12] Prior to the season premiere the HouseGuests will be placed in quarantine and tested for COVID-19 multiple times. Once inside the House the HouseGuests would be tested weekly and have no contact with the production crew and any supplies delivered to the House would be disinfected. The production crew and staff would also be tested regularly and screened for symptoms, provided personal protective equipment, and work in socially distant pods. A COVID-19 compliance officer will be on staff to ensure the implementation of the safety policies. Additionally, the live shows would not have a studio audience.[24]
Development
CBS announced Big Brother had been renewed for a twenty-second season on September 5, 2019. Chen Moonves confirmed to return as host on the same day after signing a one season contract extension with the network.[25] Merchandise for the upcoming season briefly appeared on CBS' online store on July 20, 2020 featuring the title Big Brother: All-Stars with a redesigned logo.[26][27] Allison Grodner and Rich Meehan will return as executive producers for the series which will be produced by Fly on the Wall Entertainment, in association with Endemol Shine North America. CBS announced the season would have a live two-hour premiere on August 5, 2020.[12] For the first time since Big Brother: Over the Top this season will feature the HouseGuests moving into the House during live premiere. New episodes will air on Sunday/Wednesday/Thursday schedule as in previous seasons except all episodes will air in the 8:00 p.m. timeslot.[28] Global will air the season in Canada in simulcast with CBS.[29]
Casting
Kassting, Inc. returned to provide casting services for a twenty-first consecutive season since Big Brother 2, with Robyn Kass serving as the casting director.[30] Despite the eventual “All-Star” format for season, a round open casting for the season was still held, which opened on September 22, 2019 and closed on April 3, 2020.[31][32]
Filming
As with previous seasons, the program is filmed at CBS Studios, soundstage 18 in Studio City, California in a custom-built two-story house. The House is equipped with 94 high-definition cameras and over 113 microphones to monitor and record the HouseGuests.[33]
Production design
The theme of the house is a modern colorful urban loft that showcases Big Brother history. Like the previous All-Star house, the new house contains many references to past players and moments of the series. Spray-painted murals in the kitchen area depict memorable moments from popular former HouseGuests, including[34][35]:
- Kaycee Clark's frequently vocalized catchphrase "Let's go!" (from Big Brother 20);
- Dan Gheesling's infamous "funeral" (from Big Brother 14);
- Will Kirby being labeled as a "puppet master" (from Big Brother 2 & Big Brother 7);
- Derrick Levasseur's "undercover" gameplay that alludes to his occupation as an undercover police officer (from Big Brother 16);
- Rachel Reilly's widely popular quote "Floaters, [you better] grab a life vest" (from Big Brother 12); and
- Danielle Reyes miming devil horns in her Diary Room sessions along with her countdown towards her goal of reaching the end, "1 down, 8 to go" (from Big Brother 3).
The lounge features toss pillows of the show’s multiple popular "showmances," including Jeff/Jordan (from Big Brother 11 and Big Brother 13), Cody/Jessica (from Big Brother 19), Brendon/Rachel (from Big Brother 12 and Big Brother 13), Dominic/Daniele (from Big Brother 13), Swaggy C/Bayleigh (from Big Brother 20), Tyler/Angela (from Big Brother 20), and Victor/Nicole (from Big Brother 18).[34][35]
The first bedroom is a comic themed room that alludes to the recurring Power of Veto competition BB Comics. The walls of this room includes images of the BB Comics characters of multiple past HouseGuests, including Victor Arroyo (of Big Brother 18), Amber Borzotra (of Big Brother 16), Frank Eudy (of Big Brother 14 and Big Brother 18), Jessica Graf (of Big Brother 19), Frankie Grande (of Big Brother 16), Ovi Kabir (of Big Brother 21), Jordan Lloyd (of Big Brother 11 & Big Brother 13), Steve Moses (of Big Brother 17), Rachel Reilly (of Big Brother 12 and Big Brother 13), Vanessa Rousso (of Big Brother 17), Angela Rummans (of Big Brother 20), Faysal Shafaat (of Big Brother 20), Devin Shepherd (of Big Brother 16), Christopher "Swaggy C" Williams (of Big Brother 20) and Jase Wirey (of Big Brother 5 and Big Brother 7).[34][35] The second bedroom is themed around cameras, the walls of this bedroom is filled with "127 black-and-white photos that highlight pivotal moments spanning the show’s 20-year history".[34][35] The third bedroom is themed around the Big Brother key, the symbol of safety in the Big Brother house as used in the nomination ceremony and in the Final 2 jury vote.[34][35] The bathroom features rubber ducks which have been frequently seen in the pool.[34][35] This season also featured an updated front of house studio for the first time since Big Brother 15, featuring a new 10-foot-tall entrance door as well as a hallway to prevent houseguests from peeking beyond the door, a trope that has caught on in recent years.[36]
Have-Nots
The first Have-Nots were determined by the first HoH Competition. However, for the first time in Big Brother, all subsequent Have-Nots were determined by the previous week’s Have-Nots, choosing who would take their place. The current HoH and the previous week’s Have-Nots could not be selected.
