Big Brother 2022 LIVE — Season 24 cast member WEEPS alone in bathroom ahead of tonight's Power of Veto competition | The Sun
THE first Power of Veto competition is happening TONIGHT as Big Brother returns for another installment of its 24th season.
Tensions have soared ahead of the episode – the live feeds show drama forming in the house after a women's alliance between some of the female houseguests was born.
Taylor Hale, 27, was seen weeping in the bathroom after Taylor and Nicole were left out of the discussions about the alliance between Paloma, Brittany, Alyssa, Jasmine, Amerrah, and Indy.
The emotional reaction also came after others made remarks that Taylor seemed "aggressive" and noted that they were "scared of her."
The Power of Veto competition often takes place on Saturdays, but the competition won't be shown live, similar to the nomination ceremony.
Tonight's episode of Big Brother began broadcasting on CBS at 8pm ET.

Big Brother relies on recruits
Similar to other reality TV programs, production does not solely rely on self-submissions, according to Insider.
With the addition of these contestants, the program completes its candidate pool.
According to HuffPost, James Rhine from season six was one such hire.
"They found me on MySpace. They literally hit me up because they liked the modeling picture I had as a profile picture, and my old job was as a corporate investigator.
"I had never watched the show, but they kept telling me they saw me as the second coming of this Dr. Will person."

Musical wake-up call
The live cameras are shut off each morning as the houseguests are roused for the day, according to ScreenRant.
Loud music is played in the house to wake them up.
Even though it's not the best way to wake up, some houseguests are just glad to hear music because the only other opportunity they get to listen to music is when the HOH plays it for the other houseguests.

The Big Brother house is actually a studio
Fans of Big Brother may be curious to know that the Big Brother house is not technically a real house.
The house is located inside the CBS Studio Center in a sound-stage studio lot in Los Angeles, California.

Houseguests don't have access to news
Big Brother houseguests aren't given any access to the news unless it is an extreme case or situation.
According to Entertainment Weekly, since houseguest Monica Bailey's cousin was identified as one of the missing World Trade Center workers during season two filming, the residents were informed about the 9/11 terror attacks.
Houseguests were informed of Covid-19 when it began to spread in the US in 2020.

How does Big Brother work?
Big Brother is a social game show that airs live during the summer. To participate in the Big Brother game, between 12 and 16 people—referred to as houseguests—move into a house, per InsideSurvivor.
They remain there until they are either victorious or are kicked out.
Seasons have a duration of 70 to 99 days. Competitions for the game’s powers are held every week, and the winner is the one who is ultimately sent out of the home.
Viewers may also tune in nearly whenever to find out what their favorite houseguests are doing using the live feeds Paramount Plus sets up.
Most casual viewers are fine with simply the edited programs, but live feeds are necessary for some and not for others.

Houseguests are cut off from all media
TV, radio, phones, and the internet are all off-limits to Big Brother competitors, according to Mental Floss.
They aren’t even permitted to have paper or writing instruments, and the Holy Bible is the only book that is permitted within the home, per Bustle.
However, they can play chess.

Big Brother viewership declining
Despite becoming one of the most well-known reality television series, Big Brother’s viewership has been dropping recently.
Despite a significant turning point in the history of the program for season 23, when Wisconsin attorney Xavier Prather became the first Black contestant to win, the season’s viewership fell.
When compared to the first episode in July 2021, Big Brother’s season 23 finale had a 13 percent decline in viewers.
Big Brother was tied for third place with The Masked Singer and Survivor as a result of the decline in viewers.
However, it was “a tremendous honor” for Prather, the season 23 champion.

Don’t cut the cameras
The toilet of the home visitors is equipped with a camera, but neither the broadcast nor the feeds display the video, according to SF Gate.
The camera, according to the producers, was put there solely to prevent candidates from conspiring covertly.
However, at least once on television, video from the toilet camera was utilized.
In season two, out of rage, Shannon Dragoo used Hardy Ames-toothbrush Hill’s to clean the bathroom, per Insider.
Shannon was forced to apologize and offer Hardy a new toothbrush once the crowd saw the tape.

Why Marvin was replaced
Marvin Achi was fired and replaced before the season 24 premiere, as The Sun can exclusively reveal that the shake-up was caused by contractual reasons.
A show insider claimed to The Sun: "The real reason is because he is on the next season of a hit Netflix show and he already filmed for it.
“On his applications, he said he has never been on TV, but he was on America's Got Talent and the Netflix show.
"Big Brother received calls from those production companies and threatened if they didn't pull him."

Taylor crying sparks outrage
The footage of Taylor crying after being ostracized by other houseguests is causing Big Brother fans to call for help for the girl.

Houseguests required to waive doctor-patient confidentiality
According to The Things, the application for applicants reads: “I hereby waive any physician-patient privilege that I may have or that may arise with any physicians, psychologists, health care providers (including both physical and mental health care providers), social workers, health care institutions, insurers, and other individuals or entities as a result of my participation in the participant selection process and/or the Series.”
Big Brother did not have a Black winner until 2021
The show has received backlash in the past for a lack of representation.
It was not until season 23 when attorney Xavier Prather won the show and became the first Black winner.
Xavier beat Derek Frazier in the final two with all nine jury votes.
Spoiler: Week 1 nominations
The Backstage Boss twist, in which Daniel chose three HGs to join him on the sidelines for the week, limited Daniel’s options this round, causing him to be the first person on the block.
Daniel had a lot of options, but not as many as he may have preferred.
According to Big Brother Network, Daniel was looking for justifications for his nominations and had previously declared his intention to use Michael’s “you were the last to talk game with me” defense, but he afterward informed Michael that he hadn’t spoken about games with anybody.
Michael probably didn’t believe that, though, given how well he understands the game, the outlet predicted.
