Big Brother 1 (US)

Big Brother 1 was the first season of the American reality television series Big Brother. It began on July 5, 2000 and aired on CBS for 88 days, concluding on September 29, 2000 when Eddie McGee was crowned the winner with votes from America.

Season 1 of Big Brother is radically different from following American seasons of the series. It was a near-exact port of the hit British series of the same name. Each week, HouseGuests would nominate two fellow players. The two contestants with the most nominations were eligible for banishment. American viewers could then call a 1-900 number and cast a vote to evict a HouseGuest. There were no Head of Household, Power of Veto, or Food Competitions, but rather the HouseGuests would have to complete silly challenges to win rewards for the house.

There were 6 episodes every week: a one hour live eviction show, and five 30-minute daily recaps.

Trivia

 * This was the only season where all members of the Final 3 were eligible to win the season at the final vote. Every season after has only featured a Final 2.
 * Thus far, this season has the smallest amount of total HouseGuests with 10, a figure unlikely to be beaten due to the current format of the show.
 * This is the only season represented in Big Brother All-Stars to not have more than one representative competing.
