That’s up 9% from last year’s first two weeks.
Also, per CBS, season-to-date of “Big Brother” Season 27 has reached “nearly 26 million unique viewers across broadcast on CBS and streaming on Paramount+.” On Paramount+, since its July 10 premiere, “Big Brother” is that platform’s No. 1 unscripted program and the No. 7 program overall in reach and total time spent.

Here’s this summer’s logline: “16 new houseguests and one ‘mystery player’ move into Hotel Mystère on July 10. This season’s cast includes a professional bull rider, event curator, marketing manager, AI consultant, aura painter, attorney and a dungeon master, among others. This new group of houseguests is stepping into a summer where nothing is as it seems, where every twist rewrites the rules, and every turn conceals a hidden agenda.” Season 13 winner Rachel Reilly, a two-time Big Brother player, was revealed to be that mystery guest.
Also, companion series “Big Brother: Unlocked,” hosted by previous winners Taylor Hale and Derrick Levasseur, airs bi-weekly on Fridays at 8 p.m ET starting last week.
