Big Brother US recently returned to screens across America, offering a fresh batch of contestants who are more than ready for the challenge.

In 2023, the historically long reality show spanned 100 days and offered plenty of shocks, tension, and controversy, which fans will likely be eager to see in season 26.

Like every season, viewers can expect much conspiring, tough challenges, and plenty of gameplaying, which will shape if a contestant is nominated and subsequently evicted.

As the show has already started and evictions have begun, your attention might be turning to the finale this October.
