    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Julie Chen Moonves has been the host of the American version of Big Brother since its debut in 2000. During the first season, she was widely criticized in the media for her heavily scripted, wooden delivery in her interaction with the studio audience and in the interviews on the live programs. This has earned her the nickname the "Chenbot" among the fans, a title she has proudly come to embrace.
    • Goofs
      Frequent continuity errors. It's clear that many scenes were filmed hours or days apart and then edited together with =out consideration for whether or not they visually flowed together.
    • Quotes
      • [week 5, in the diary room, after the PoV competition]
      • Will Kirby: Hey Boogie, did you win PoV today?
      • Mike Malin: Nah. I won a trip to Aruba for two and a plasma television. Did you win PoV?
      • Will Kirby: No... I won uh, five thousand bucks.
      • [both look at camera with serious faces before bursting out in laughter]
    • Crazy credits
      At the end of every eviction episode, Julie Chen Moonves ends the episode by saying 'lets eavesdrop on the house guests' and while the credits are rolling there is a live feed on the house guests.
