Big Brother USA 2025 is more The Shining than 1984, with the contestants checking into the creepy Hotel Mystère instead of the traditional house. Why the drastic change? This is the 25th anniversary season of the show, and, to paraphrase Delbert Grady's immortal line: "You’re the caretaker, Julie Chen Moonves, you’ve always been the caretaker."

You can watch Big Brother USA 2025 online from anywhere with a VPN and potentially for free.

The change isn't just cosmetic, either. Big Brother USA 2025 will follow a murder mystery theme, replete with “unexpected twists and turns, including a masked visitor, a secret accomplice, and the shocking arrival of a ‘Mystery Houseguest’ whose identity will remain under wraps.”

16 contestants, including "aura painter" Ava Pearl, man of the people, unemployed Vince Panaro and, if the ten-gallon didn’t give it away, bull rider Rylie Jeffries, will enter Hotel Mystère, but little do they know that contestant No.17 will be in there with them.

The AI Arena is also coming back, which means potential evictees will get the chance to save their skin by winning a mini-game.
