“25 seasons of Big Brother, we’re pulling out all the stops.”
That’s how “Big Brother” host, Julie Chen Moonves, previews the upcoming season of the hit CBS show in the “Big Brother” 25 Anniversary Special.
The season premieres on the heels of the recent “Big Brother 25th Anniversary Special,” which teased exciting new games, house and cast for Season 25.
Moonves even hinted at some cameos from past stars. A video posted to the “Big Brother” Twitter, reveals legends Frankie Grande, Britney Haynes, and Danielle Reyes breaking into the “Big Brother” house and unleashing the season 25 twist.
The long-running reality series follows a group of people living together in a house rigged with cameras and microphones capturing their every move. At the end of each week, one person is voted out of the house, with the last remaining house guest receiving the grand prize of $750,000.
“I have no idea how many more years this is going to go on, but right now the way I’m feeling is that I hope it never ends,” Moonves said in the special.
