Big Brother Hamster History: The Most (And Least) Popular Hamsters Ever In The House
Looking Back On Season 6
|
The sixth season of CBS's American version of Big Brother consisted of thirty episodes aired from July 7 to September 20, 2005. It was hosted by Early Show co-anchor Julie Chen, who has acted as host of every season of the CBS incarnation of Big Brother to date.
A group of fourteen contestants (referred to as houseguests) were confined in a house together, and the objective of each was to remain in the house the longest. Each week of the show, there was a Head of Household (HoH) who was able to nominate two other houseguests for removal, followed by a Golden Power of Veto competition in which contestants competed for the right to choose to replace one of those nominees, and finally, at the end of the week, a vote by the contestants to select one of the nominees to evict from the house. The two people remaining at the end of the competition would be subject to a vote by a jury of the previously evicted contestants, with the winner receiving $500,000 and the runner up $50,000.
New Features
For the 2005 season, the producers chose to make some changes to attempt to increase interest in the program. The theme song of the show was changed, but more significantly a new house was built. Some new features included making the house two stories, a secret room, a private bathroom for the HoH, a co-ed shower, and a digital picture frame for the houseguests. In keeping with recent Big Brother tradition, the sixth season was given a twist and the theme Summer of Secrets. The twist was that every houseguest in the game had one secret partner, but every pair believed that they were the only ones working together.
Secret partners
In the episode that aired July 28, 2005, host Julie Chen officially revealed to the houseguests that everyone had started the game with a secret partner, however all the contestants had already figured it out over the course of the previous 21 days. She announced that if one of the pairs made up the final two, the winner would receive a bonus prize of $1,000,000 with the runner-up winning $250,000, instead of the standard $500,000 and $50,000 prizes.
Popularity
Big Brother 6 was home to the most popular houseguests in the show's history. As evidenced by CBS.com's popularity polls, Janelle Pierzina, Kaysar Ridha, and Howie Gordon were very popular with the show's fans, reaching all-time high popularity ratings. Pierzina received a rating of 97% in the final week of the show.
