Big Brother application 2024: How to apply for the USA version?

Big Brother is one of the most well-renowned series in the reality TV world that set criteria and format for the new reality TV shows. Essentially, the show welcomes a group of contestants who are willing to be housemates for a limited amount of time. During this time, they don't have access to the internet and the outside world.

Each week, all cast members are given individual tasks and have to participate in team challenges as well. The Big Brother audience decides who to eliminate based on the housemates' performance. Towards the end of the show, the remaining finalists compete for the winning title and the grand crash prize.

According to the official CBS website, the Big Brother synopsis states:

"Big Brother follows a group of people living together in a house outfitted with 94 HD cameras and 113 microphones, recording their every move 24 hours a day. Each week, someone will be voted out of the house, with the last remaining Houseguest receiving the grand prize"
