Reality TV fans, brace yourselves! This week is shaping up to be an absolute whirlwind of drama, competition, and edge-of-your-seat moments. But here's where it gets controversial: with so many shows vying for your attention, which one will truly dominate your screen time? Let's dive in.
First off, the TV landscape is exploding with new episodes and premieres. The Voice has already made its grand return on NBC, while Survivor kicks off its new season on CBS this Wednesday, September 24—available for next-day streaming on Paramount+ Essential. And let’s not forget The Golden Bachelor, which also returns on the same day. And this is the part most people miss: amidst this frenzy, Big Brother is hurtling toward its Season 27 finale with just four HouseGuests left. Who will claim the crown? Who’s packing their bags next? The tension is palpable.
If that’s not enough, there’s a whole lineup of fresh episodes from Dancing with the Stars (ABC/Hulu), America’s Got Talent (NBC/Peacock), Project Runway (Freeform/Hulu), The Amazing Race (CBS/Paramount+), and Hell’s Kitchen (FOX). Seriously, your DVR might need a vacation after this week.
Now, let’s address the burning question: Is Big Brother on tonight (September 23)? The short answer? Nope. But don’t fret—the next new episode (Season 27, Episode 36) airs Wednesday, September 24 at 10:00 p.m. ET on CBS and Paramount+ Premium. Mark your calendars, because the final four episodes are coming at you fast:
- Episode 36: Wednesday, September 24 at 10:00 p.m. ET
- Episode 37: Thursday, September 25 at 8:00 p.m. ET
- Episode 38: Friday, September 26 at 8:00 p.m. ET
- Finale (Episode 39): Sunday, September 28 at 8:30 p.m. ET
Here’s where it gets tricky: How do you keep up with all the action? For Big Brother live feeds, Paramount+ is your go-to, but if you’re not subscribed, Pluto TV offers them for free. New episodes can be streamed live on CBS, CBS.com, or with a Paramount+ Premium subscription. Next-day streaming is available for Paramount+ Essential subscribers.
Speaking of Paramount+, they’ve got two plans: the ad-supported Essential for $7.99/month or the ad-free Premium (with Showtime and live CBS) for $12.99/month. New users, take note: there’s a seven-day free trial waiting for you. But here’s a question to ponder: Is the Premium plan worth the extra cost for live CBS access, or is the Essential plan enough for your binge-watching needs?
If Paramount+ isn’t your cup of tea, you can also catch Big Brother live or on demand through fuboTV, DIRECTV, Sling TV, YouTube TV, or Hulu + Live TV. Controversial take alert: With so many streaming options, is the traditional TV model becoming obsolete? Let us know in the comments.
Lastly, for those wondering about Hulu and Prime Video: you can add Paramount+ Premium to either platform for an extra $12.99/month. Final thought: With this many viewing options, the real question is—how will you choose to watch? And more importantly, who are you rooting for in Big Brother? Share your predictions below!
