CBS has confirmed that Big Brother will be returning for Season 25 in the summer of 2023. The news comes after the show crowned its winner for Season 24 making history once again.

It's been 82 days of some of the most controversial and divisive gameplay in recent memory, but Season 24 has finally crowned a new champion.Sunday's two-hour finale all came down to the final three houseguests — who, coincidentally, were also all members of the defunct Leftovers Alliance, which ruled the house for several weeks before falling apart in dramatic fashion during the Split House Twist midway through the season.The whole season came down to Taylor Hale, Matthew «Turner» Turner, and Monte Taylor.  So who won the title of champion?  Otherwise, here's how everything played out during Sunday's jampacked finale!After last week's eviction of Brittany Hoopes, the pressure was on for the final three, who would have to face off in a series of three Head of Household competitions to see who would be the final HOH, and have full power to decide which houseguest joined them in the final two.As always, this late in the game, feeling out alliances can be tricky when there are only two people left, and Monte has been playing both sides of the field — making promises to his close friend Turner and similar promises to Taylor, with whom he's seemingly gotten close to in recent weeks.Taylor's place in the final three is a miracle in its own right and has had one of the most undeniably incredible comeback stories in the history of the show. Early in the season, everyone (including Monte) seemed to have it out for Taylor, to a level that many viewed as problematic and racially motivated.

Big Brother fans are so confused by Julie Chen‘s actions following the latest episode of the long-running reality series.

With Kyle in the jury house, everyone's focus then pivoted over to Michael Bruner — the winningest house guest of the season and one of the best comp beasts in the history of the show.However, true to form, Michael won his third Head of Household competition of the season and made it impossible for the other houseguests to get rid of him — yet!With only seven houseguests left, Michael's options were limited.

Called out. Big Brother contestant Kyle Capener was confronted for his comments about race on the CBS reality series.

There's a lesson to be learned from Kyle Capener's past week in the house: if you ever think it'd be a good idea to try to divide groups among racial lines because you don't trust Black people, you're probably the one in the wrong and you should probably just stop talking.Well, on Thursday, after planting the seeds of racial discord, Kyle was sent packing from the house in an emotional exit. By a vote of 5-0, Kyle was evicted. In his exit interview, Kyle explained, «Man, it was a very, very tough week, but honestly, I'm feeling so grateful to have this experience with all these amazing people. They shared so much love and compassion for someone as flawed as I am.

Also, a new villain has emerged (at least according to fans on Twitter), that is once again casting a problematic light on certain houseguests.So, which two houseguests were sent packing?  Otherwise, here's how everything that led up to and played out during Thursday's big show.After Indy Santos got the boot last Thursday in what would turn out to be a regretful move by The Leftovers alliance, Julie Chen Moonves sprung some big news on the contestants: The remaining 10 houseguests would be divided into two groups and play a week of separately.As a quick refresher, here's who was in The Leftovers going into this week: Michael Bruner, Matthew «Turner» Turner, Brittany Hoopes, Joseph Abdin, Monte Taylor, Kyle Capener and Taylor Hale.The alliance was formed in response to ousted houseguest Daniel Durston's treatment of Taylor, as well as many of the members feeling generally left out of game play by the cool kids, so to speak.

Bros before show-mances! delivered a special two-hour live eviction episode on Thursday, and with it came all the twists, turns, double-crosses and imploded alliances you could possibly hope for.For the first time in weeks, it wasn't immediately clear to everyone watching who would be heading home when it came time to vote. Or how Kyle Capener's not-at-all subtle showmance with Alyssa Snider (who is not a part of his alliance) would drive a wedge into his alliance (which, and this is very key, she is not a part of.

Sometimes on, it's better to go down in a blaze of glory than shuffle off with a whimper — and that is exactly how things when down on Thursday's live eviction night.In an episode that easily could have been disappointingly predictable, some unexpected moments of last-ditch gameplay and interesting twists spiced things up.So, who wound up getting sent packing?

The challenge involved running along a thin rail without falling off the fastest.

Scroll down for the big reveal. Otherwise, here's how everything played out during Thursday's live show.Fresh off the heels of Wednesday's dramatic episode, the house was still reeling from a heated confrontation between Taylor Hale and Daniel Durston in which Daniel screamed at Taylor, somehow blamed her for Paloma Aguilar's self-eviction, and left Taylor in tears.Daniel's tantrum — in concert with his ride-or-die, final-two-pact pal Nicole Layog's cold treatment of Taylor — played a big part in Taylor being brought into a brand new pact of houseguests who feel they've been left out by some of the louder, more self-assured players.

Addressing her departure. Paloma Aguilar didn’t hold back about her decision to leave the Big Brother house early.

Contestant Paloma Aguilar has left the Big Brother 24 house and game ahead of the first live eviction due to “personal issues,” host Julie Chen announced during the Thursday, July 14, live eviction episode.

Season 24 is already one of the most unexpected and chaotic in recent memory. Thursday's first live eviction night saw a contestant go home, but not in the way that most expected.Before the live eviction vote could kick off, it was revealed that Paloma Aguilar had decided to leave the house early, due to «a personal matter,» which the show implied was related to the increasing anxiety and stress she dealt with during her week on the show.Paloma's decision to walk — which also makes her only the fifth contestant to ever do so — also threw the show a curveball, and the long-hyped «Backstage Twist» was thrown out all together.Host Julie Chen Moonves explained what the twist would have been to the houseguests, and how things would be changing following Paloma's exit.«This week, five of you were in jeopardy of going home.

 kicked off a new season on Wednesday, and host Julie Chen Moonves had some big twists and turns for the 16 new houseguests who moved into the household.The show began by introducing the new houseguests, four at a time, to the desert festival-themed house, and the Big Brother Fest competition.The guests each got a special pass, which directed them to one of three Big Brother Festival stations — the Porta Potty area, the Merch Stand and the Piercing Station. With five houseguests in each location, that only left one -- Joe 'Pooch' Pucciarelli — to sit in a golden throne as the so-called Backstage Boss.Before revealing what that would actually entail, the three groups of five houseguests all had to face off in different challenges.

her controversial partner. Chen Moonves’ husband, Les Moonves, stepped down as the CEO of CBS in 2018 following allegations of workplace misconduct and sexual harassment. Another victim alleged that he tried to silence her by offering her a job at the network.

Season 24 is about to kick off, and host Julie Chen Moonves is excited to bring fans an experience unlike any they've seen on the show before.Julie recently sat down with ET's Kevin Frazier to dish on the forthcoming season, and the stalwart host opened up on what she's looking forward to over the next three months of competition.«it's 16 brand new people, so new people to fall in love with, new showmances to see blossom, new people to root against, a new favorite villain,» Julie excitedly teased." It's the 24th season. Anything can happen! I mean it took us 23 seasons to have this historic season last summer with The Cookout, so who knows?"«We always say expect the unexpected and that is the beauty of this show,» she added.So what exactly makes this season more exhilarating than ever before? According to Julie, «Our challenges are next level this season!»«You're gonna see that on premiere night.

After Todrick Hall broke his silence about his time on Celebrity Big Brother, Julie Chen, Teddi Mellencamp and Cynthia Bailey weighed in on his controversial approach to the game.

wasted no time getting to the action and manipulating as the final three — including Todrick Hall, Miesha Tate and Cynthia Bailey — started playing their end game moves and low-key trying to secure their places in the final two.Todrick finally dropped the bomb to Cynthia and Miesha that he's actually a super-fan, which comes as a shock to Cynthia, although it also meant things started to click for the reality star about Todrick's time in the season.«It explains why he's the only person who has never been on the block in this house,» Cynthia said in a confessional video.Todrick, meanwhile, started trying to figure out all his angles, convincing Cynthia that she'd be better off bringing him to the end than Miesha because everybody in the jury has bad blood with him (which is actually a decent point).Finally, the time came for the final Head of Household competition. It was another trivia challenge based on the houseguests who have already been evicted, and is essentially a game of Two Truths and a Lie.
