Off the Block (known specifically as Off the Block with Ross and Marissa) is a spin-off after show held for Big Brother 20 (US) hosted by Celebrity Big Brother 1 (US) houseguests Ross Mathews and Marissa Jaret Winokur.

Development[]

The first after show attempted by CBS began in 2004 with House Calls: The Big Brother Talk Show[1] The series primarily featured a discussion about events occurring in the Big Brother house.[2] House Calls aired every weekday alongside new episodes of Big Brother from Big Brother 5 until its cancellation prior to season 11 in 2008.[3] The next companion show began in 2012 with former Big Brother houseguest Jeff Schroeder known as Big Brother: Live Chat.[4] The show aired each week following the live eviction when Schroeder would interview the evicted houseguests.[5] However, On August 10, 2017 Schroeder announced that he was moving to Colorado and would no longer be able to host the show.[6] Ahead of season 20 it was announced by Julie Chen on Twitter that Celebrity Big Brother 1 (US) runner-up and winner Ross Mathews and Marissa Jaret Winokur would be filling in the gap left by Schroeder with a new show called Off the Block.[7]

Production[]

Due to the format of Big Brother, beginning with episode 7, the hosts are required to keep certain aspects of the parent series confidential from the evicted houseguest in an effort to keep their Jury vote unbiased.[8]

Broadcast[]

The show airs on Fridays the day after live eviction episodes of Big Brother 20[9] and is a Facebook Watch exclusive.[10] The first-season finale is set to air live immediately following the Big Brother 20 finale from the House's backyard featuring interviews from the season's houseguests.[11]

Format[]

Each episode generally consists of the following format in order:

  • BB Breakdown: Ross and Marissa discuss the biggest moments from the recent episodes of Big Brother.
  • Live Feed Exclusive: An exclusive highlight from the Big Brother Live Feeds that is only shown on Off the Block.
  • Off the Block Interview: Ross and Marissa interview the most recently evicted houseguests.
  • Prediction Predicament: Ross and Marissa make their own predictions based on what is currently happening inside the Big Brother house.
