Season chronology |
Big Brother 19 is the nineteenth season. of the American reality television series Big Brother. It is based upon the 1999 Dutch series of the same name. The season premiered on June 28, 2017 on CBS in the United States with a two-hour season premiere and Julie Chen returning as host. The season was titled "Summer of Temptation" with the various contestants able to receive a temptation which gave the taker a surprise reward or game advantage but also unleashed a game change for one or more other players. Viewers at home were able to vote to offer selected chosen players a secret temptation. A weekly opt-in competition, known as the Temptation Challenge, would give the winner immunity from the week's nomination but also put the last-place finisher on the block as a third nominee, able to compete in the weekly Veto Competition and avoid a backdoor nomination.
On September 20, 2017, Josh Martinez won the game in a 5–4 vote against returning Big Brother 18 runner-up Paul Abrahamian, earning the latter the distinction of being the first person to receive the runner-up prize two years consecutively.
Production[]
Development[]
Big Brother 19 was produced by Endemol Shine North America and Fly on the Wall Entertainment with Allison Grodner and Rich Meehan returning as executive producers.[1] This season of the program has been confirmed since August 10, 2016 as part of a multi season renewal between Endemol Shine North America and CBS which also includes its twentieth season scheduled for the summer of 2018.[2] Julie Chen returned as the host of the series.[3]
Broadcasts[]
The main television coverage of the season was screened on CBS beginning June 28, 2017 with a two-hour season premiere.[1][3][4][5] This season featured no changes to the schedule that was used in the previous edition, with episodes airing on Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday each week.[1][2][6] The weekly Thursday episode, which airs at 6 PM. PDT, featured the live eviction and subsequent Head of Household competition taking place. During the live eviction, the show will be hosted by Julie Chen. The weekly Sunday episode, which airs at 5 PM PDT, features the nomination ceremony, as well as some highlights from the previous days. The weekly Wednesday episode, which also airs at 5 PM PDT, features the Power of Veto competition and the Power of Veto ceremony, along with more highlights of recent events in the House.[1] The live Internet feeds which have been a staple of the program since its first season will return as part of CBS All Access. Alongside the weekly shows on CBS spin-off series Big Brother: After Dark will return on Pop for its twelfth season.[7] The show serves as a live feed into the House, and is edited for profanity, nudity, slanderous statements and music copyrights.[8]
A special episode was aired on July 21 to show the "Battle Back Showdown" where one of the 4 first evicted House Guests competed to re-enter the Big Brother House.[9]
Prizes[]
The House Guests will be competing for the main prize of $500,000.[1] Cash prizes of varying amounts may be offered as "temptations" over the course of the season. Kevin Schlehuber was awarded $25,000 on the premiere episode.[10] The second cash temptation of the season was also claimed by Kevin; this time, it was a smaller sum of $27.[11]
The fan-favorite poll, America's Favorite HouseGuest was awarded Cody Nickson with $25,000 during the finale. While HouseGuests are eligible to win the award, only Megan Lowder was not eligible due to her withdrawal on Day 8.[12]
Twists[]
Changes to the main format known as twists occur during the course of the season that will impact the lives of the House Guests during their time in the House. The twists for this season center around the theme of temptation where the House Guests will be tempted with money, power or safety during their stay.[10] Each temptation however will come with a consequence that will impact the entire House.[13] The overall main twist is being billed by the program as "The Summer of Temptation" for this reason.[14]
Standard Temptations[]
During the season premiere the House Guests were presented with the first temptation of the season, in which each new House Guest had a chance to secretly win $25,000.[10] Kevin Schlehuber was the quickest to claim the monetary prize, resulting in two different consequences. The first consequence was personal: Kevin was not allowed to win the first Head of Household competition; to keep his winning a secret, he had to throw (intentionally lose) the competition.[13][15]
The second consequence unleashed a major twist on the House called the "BB Swap." This resulted in Paul Abrahamian, runner-up from the previous season, entering the House as a full House Guest eligible to win by taking the place of an original House Guest.[14] Shortly after entering Paul was given nine friendship bracelets which gave immunity from the first eviction. Paul was instructed to take one for themselves and give the remaining eight friendship bracelets to the House Guests that did a good job tempting them.[15] The remaining eight House Guests took part in a competition for safety which resulted in Cameron, Christmas, and Jillian being nominated for eviction. The three nominees were given the power to choose how their fate would be determined. The nominees had a choice of a competition or a house eviction vote. Only Cameron chose to have a competition; shortly after, the House Guests voted to evict Cameron from the House.[16]
The following temptation would be during the second Week 1 HOH competition. During the competition, a golden apple appeared that would guarantee safety for the person who grabbed it, but would eliminate the team from the competition. Josh took the temptation, eliminating his team from the HOH competition. In the Week 1 Power of Veto competition, the first House Guest to find a gold starfish and place it on their shelf would earn a Never-Not pass, meaning they cannot be a Have-Not for the rest of the season with the consequence of eliminating themselves from the competition. Raven took the temptation.
Battle Back Showdown[]
Instead of permanent eviction, the first four evicted House Guests received a chance to return to the game. Unlike last season, this showdown was done in playoff style. They will participate in a 3-Round-Battle in order to gain their spot back in the house. The first competition "Maze Race" will eliminate the bottom two finishers, permanently eliminating them from the game. Dominique and Jillian lost the competition to Cody and Cameron respectively; The second Competition between Cody and Cameron determined which of the first four evicted House Guests will be the last one standing and battle one of the House Guests in the house for a chance to get back to the house. If the evicted House Guest wins against the current House Guest, the remaining evictee will have a second chance to re-enter the house. However, if the current House Guest defeats the returning evictee, no one will be returning to the house effectively blocking the Battle Back. The House Guests unanimously voted to choose Paul to battle Cody in the final competition. Cody chose "Maze Race" as the final competition. Cody won and re-entered the house on Day 30. All three duels aired in a special episode on July 21.

2 | Cody | Cameron |
3 | Cody | Paul |
Den of Temptation[]
During the first three weeks of the season, the viewing public will vote for a HouseGuest of their choice to secretly enter a room called the Den of Temptation. The temptation inside the den could provide an advantage in the game but will come with a consequence that may affect one or more HouseGuests.[14] The public's chosen House Guest can choose to accept the temptation or reject it completely. Each House Guest can only be chosen to enter the den once during their time in the House.[17] The results of the vote and the House Guest decision will be shown during the Sunday primetime episode.[16]

Temptation Competition[]
Due to Jessica accepting the final temptation, the "Temptation Competition" was unleashed for the next 3 weeks. Prior to nominations, House Guests (except for the current Head of Household) would be able to decide if they wanted to compete in this competition or not. The winner of the "Temptation Competition" would receive immunity for the week, however, the House Guest that finishes last in the competition would be automatically nominated as a 3rd nominee.

Tree of Temptation[]
After Cody and Elena's eviction, Julie revealed a new twist into the game which unleashed 5 possible temptations for House Guests to select for the next 3 weeks. These temptations include powers and punishments. When the apple tree turns red, the first House Guest to enter the diary room gets to claim a temptation from the apple tree. Once a House Guest claims an apple, they are not eligible for another temptation. The results of picking an apple include, save a friend, can't play in next HOH, second veto, bounty on your head, and eliminate two eviction votes.

On Day 1, 16 new HouseGuests entered the newest rendition of the Big Brother House. After getting settled in and introductions were done, they were then informed by series host Julie Chen that the theme for this season is "Summer of Temptation", where they would face various offers during the game that would offer them prizes and unique game-changing advantages throughout the season. However, every temptation that was accepted in the House would have a consequence that would affect at least one of the other HouseGuests. They began the summer inside the Garden of Temptation, the first competition of the season.
As another consequence for Kevin pressing the button, Paul from Big Brother 18 re-entered the House as the seventeenth HouseGuest. However, it was revealed by Chen that he would be swapping spots with one of the new HouseGuests that would be evicted the same night in a first-ever "BB Swap". Paul was given the task to select eight HouseGuests to receive a "friendship" bracelet. Any HouseGuest who received a "friendship" bracelet would be immune from eviction. He gave bracelets to Kevin, Raven, Dominique, Mark, Jason, Jessica, Ramses, and Elena.
On Day 1, Cameron was evicted by an 8-3-2 vote, with Cody, Mark, and Matt voting to evict Jillian, and Josh and Jason voting to evict Christmas. Julie then revealed the next twist to the viewers. Each week, America would vote to select one HouseGuest to enter the "Den of Temptation." Inside the Den, they would be offered a temptation. A HouseGuest is only able to be selected once throughout the entire season. However, every temptation will come with a consequence. | ||||||||||||

On Day 5, Cody nominated Jillian and Megan for eviction. As Head of Household, Cody was required to name five Have-Nots for the week. He selected Megan, Josh, Jillian, Paul, and Ramses. However, the Have-Nots were offered a temptation. On the wall of the Have-Not room, there were two available spikes. Inside one spike is a Have-Not Escape which would allow its holder to leave the Have-Not Room and become a Have for the week. However, the other held a Have-Not Extension, making the holder a Have-Not for an extra week. One Have-Not per week could go to the Diary Room to claim the key to unlock a spike. On Day 8, Megan withdrew from the house following an argument with numerous HouseGuests over an alleged racial slur. | ||||||||||||

Following Megan's departure: Paul took the Have-Not temptation and successfully claimed the Have-Not Escape. The HouseGuests learned of the Den of Temptation. Paul was given the offer of the Pendant of Protection, which would give him immunity for the next three evictions. By accepting the offer, another HouseGuest would be cursed. Whichever HouseGuest was represented by the chosen bottle would be the consequence recipient. On Day 9, Cody nominated Alex to replace Megan on the block alongside Jillian. As consequence for Paul accepting the Pendant, one HouseGuest was "bitten" by a snake inside the Den. The HouseGuest bitten will be cursed and be given further instructions by Big Brother. Ramses was bitten and learned that he must place himself on the block as a third nominee within one of the next three nomination ceremonies. | ||||||||||||

Have-Nots[]
This season, the Have-Nots for the week were offered a temptation. On the wall of the Have-Not room, there were two spikes decoration that opened and contained secret compartments. Inside one spike is a Have-Not Escape which would allow its holder to leave the Have-Not Room and become a Have for the week. However, the other held a Have-Not Extension, making the holder a Have-Not for an extra week. One Have-Not per week could go to the Diary Room to claim the key to unlock a spike.

Notes[]
- ^Note 1 : Kevin accepted a $25,000 temptation on Day 1, but he was not allowed to win the first Head of Household competition and had to lose (privately throw or forfeit himself). Paul subsequently entered the game due to the temptation.
- ^Note 2 : When Paul entered the game, he was given immunity from the special Night 1 Eviction. He had to give immunity to eight HouseGuests of his choice by giving them a friendship bracelet. Paul chose Kevin, Raven, Dominique, Mark, Jason, Jessica, Ramses, and Elena. The eight HouseGuest without a friendship bracelet competed in a competition to stay in the game, and the three HouseGuests who lost the competition were nominated for eviction; Cameron, Christmas and Jillian lost the competition. Following the competition, an eviction vote was chosen over an eviction competition by a 2–1 vote (only Cameron voted for a competition; Christmas and Jillian voted for a vote). Paul was not eligible to vote but would cast a tiebreaker vote if required.
- ^Note 3 : Because Josh retrieved the Golden Apple in the HoH competition, he was awarded immunity for that week.
- ^Note 4 : Megan chose to withdraw from the game. As she was nominated, Cody chose Alex as his replacement nominee for Megan.
- ^Note 5 : As Paul accepted the Pendant of Protection temptation, he is immune for the next three evictions. Paul chose to keep this immunity a secret until Cody attempted to nominate him for eviction at the Veto Ceremony on Week 1.
- ^Note 6 : Due to Paul's temptation, Ramses was cursed with having to nominate himself as a third nominee within the first three weeks. He chose to nominate himself during Week 2. No nominees are replaced if the PoV is used to remove him from nomination.
- ^Note 7 : Instead of permanent eviction, the first four evicted HouseGuests received a chance to return to the game through the "Battle Back Showdown". All four evictees faced off in a duel, in which two winners of the first round advanced to face each other in the second round and the losers from both rounds were permanently evicted; going into the third duel, Cody won the duel and faced off against the HouseGuest where they have voted for to challenge Cody (indicated in ); Paul was voted as the challenger in a 11–1 vote. Cody won the final duel and re-entered into the house.
- ^Note 8 : On Day 44, Jessica used the Halting Hex, which cancelled the Week 5's Eviction.
- ^Note 9 : This week was a double eviction week. Following the first eviction, the remaining HouseGuests played a week's worth of games—including HoH and Veto competitions and Nomination, Veto and Eviction ceremonies—during the remainder of the live show, culminating in a second eviction for the week.
- ^Note 10 : Through the Tree of Temptation, Mark earned the power to "Save a Friend" which allowed him to grant immunity to another HouseGuest; he chose Paul.
- ^Note 11 : Matt was given a penalty vote for eviction after eating normal food while on the mandatory Have-Not slop diet.
- ^Note 12 : As the house's vote was tied, the Head of Household cast a tie-breaker vote.
- ^Note 13 : During the finale, the jury members voted for which finalist should win Big Brother.
Controversies and criticisms[]
Paul Abrahamian received criticism for their controversial mimicking of another HouseGuest. In Week 3, they targeted Dominique Cooper for eviction and decided to apply black facial cosmetics and clothing that resembled the skin of a snake, in regards to a metaphor that she had used in an effort to expose their strategy to other HouseGuests. Given that Cooper is African American, Abrahamian's actions were deemed racist when they referred to the cosmetics as "blackface."[72][73][74]
Viewers also debated on Abrahamian's alleged bullying tactics in which they encouraged other HouseGuests to antagonize "outcasts" in the House, especially showmance allies Jessica Graf and Cody Nickson.[75] Some notable incidents include Christmas Abbott propagating aspersions on Nickson's military service,[76] and Alex Ow and Raven Walton engaging in verbal arguments with Graf.[77] Likewise, a physical confrontation nearly transpired between Josh Martinez and Mark Jansen (who defended Nickson), as Martinez was agitating Jansen by banging pots and pans in his face. Another fistfight almost ensued between Abrahamian and Nickson after Abrahamian silenced Graf in front of Nickson in the HoH Room. Abrahamian, who was HoH at that time, bypassed the confrontation instead by sending Nickson out of the room while screaming condescensions at him.[78]
Some fans also perceived Megan Lowder's voluntary exit on Day 8 as a result of bullying. During a backyard conversation, Lowder believed that she overheard Graf refer to Ow as a panda, which Lowder considered to be racist due to its Asian connotation. However, Graf actually said "Pao Pao", which alluded to the nickname of Big Brother 16 HouseGuest Paola Shea, of whom Ow reminded Graf due to them both being Asian Americans. After being informed of the comment by Lowder, Ow clarified the issue with Graf, but they both later assumed that Lowder had fabricated the comment for game-related purposes, prompting them to confront her. Lowder felt overwhelmed by the confrontation and retreated to the Diary Room where she brought up her history of posttraumatic stress disorder with the show's producers. Concerned of her mental health, Lowder decided that it would be best for her to withdraw from the game.[12]
Viewers called for Jason Dent's expulsion from the House after he was caught on the live feeds making rape and assault jokes in front of other HouseGuests. In one instance, Dent commented on having sex with Kevin Schlehuber's wife, Deborah, while all their daughters would be tied up and forced to watch the act.[79] In an interview with TMZ, Deborah said that Dent's comments were disturbing and "the worst thing she's ever seen." On Twitter, Dent's family apologized for the comments but stated that they were taken out of context, which Deborah doubted as she believed her husband would never joke as such about anyone in any situation. Dent also made similar jokes earlier in the competition, such as suggesting to restrain contestant Raven Walton and have male HouseGuests "take turns" on her, and once telling cops about sexually assaulting women at a nursing home.[80][81]
Jason Dent and Cody Nickson sparked backlash after footage of remarks regarded as transphobic was depicted on the live feeds. During a conversation in the hot tub, Graf informed Dent and Nickson about Audrey Middleton of Big Brother 17 as the first transgender contestant in the show's history. Nickson proceeded to mock the gender identity of Middleton, for whom Dent was also confused about the appropriate pronoun. Middleton addressed the controversy through a Twitter post, urging people not to vilify both male HouseGuests but rather, educate them on the value of emotional intelligence. Nickson was also criticized for using the derogatory term "tranny" several times earlier in the game.[82]
The extent of Raven Walton's lies in the House became a heavily contested debate among fans throughout the season. She often spoke about suffering from gastroparesis (GP), on which she made several inaccurate or false statements, including its hereditary nature, sterility effect, and terminal prognosis.[83] Even before joining the show, Walton had established a GoFundMe campaign for her treatments, which many skeptical fans considered a scam. Schlehuber also recounted Walton asking viewers for money on camera.[84] Other GP sufferers and organizations like Gastroparesis Patient Association for Cures and Treatment disputed her claims about the severity of her disease, while a plethora of fans condemned them as malingering. However, Walton's mother and her physician took it to social media to combat Walton's critics.[83][84] Walton also claimed that she and her mother were members of Mensa but their names were disproven to be found in the organization's current directory.[83]
Several House Guests, especially Graf, attracted controversy for certain inappropriate acts in the House. Footage on the live feeds showed Graf making contact with some House Guests in their "private areas" in a joking manner without prior consent. When confronted, Graf dismissed any accusations of such wrongdoing as sexual harassment or invasion of privacy.[85] Ironically, Graf's behavior incited other House Guests like Abrahamian, Matthew Clines, Ramses Soto, and Elena Davies to partake in similar playful acts towards House Guests of the same and opposite genders.[86] In one episode of the show, Ow shared with Martinez how the rampant "touching" in the House, particularly her experience with Graf, made her uncomfortable because it was reminiscent of her cousin who had been raped and murdered.[85]
