Format
Big Brother follows a group of contestants, known as HouseGuests, who live inside a custom-built house outfitted with cameras and microphones recording their every move 24 hours a day. The HouseGuests are sequestered with no contact with the outside world. During their stay, the HouseGuests share their thoughts on their day-to-day lives inside the house in a private room known as the Diary Room. Each week, the HouseGuests compete in competitions in order to win power and safety inside the house. At the start of each week, the HouseGuests compete in a Head of Household (abbreviated as "HOH") competition. The winner of the HoH competition is immune from eviction and selects two HouseGuests to be nominated for eviction. Six HouseGuests are then selected to compete in the Power of Veto (abbreviated as "PoV") competition: the reigning HoH, the nominees, and three other HouseGuests chosen by random draw. The winner of the PoV competition has the right to either revoke the nomination of one of the nominated HouseGuests or leave them as is. If the veto winner uses this power, the HoH must immediately nominate another HouseGuest for eviction. The PoV winner is also immune from being named as the replacement nominee. On eviction night, all HouseGuests vote to evict one of the nominees, though the Head of Household and the nominees are not allowed to vote. This vote is conducted in the privacy of the Diary Room. In the event of a tie, the Head of Household casts the tie-breaking vote. The nominee with the most votes is evicted from the house. The last nine evicted HouseGuests comprise the Jury and are sequestered in a separate location following their eviction and ultimately decide the winner of the season. The Jury is only allowed to see the competitions and ceremonies that include all of the remaining HouseGuests; they are not shown any interviews or other footage that might include strategy or details regarding nominations. The viewing public is able to award an additional prize by choosing "America's Favorite HouseGuest." All evicted HouseGuests are eligible to win this award except for those who either voluntarily leave or are forcibly removed for rule violations.
HouseGuests
The HouseGuests for the twenty-fourth season were revealed on July 5, 2022. US Weekly published a series of cast interviews on the same day. Prior to the reveal, CBS aired a teaser featuring various voice clips from the HouseGuests. The cast includes Miss Michigan USA 2021 and Miss USA 2021 competitor Taylor Hale. Marvin Achi, a 28-year-old from Houston, Texas, was among the sixteen HouseGuests initially slated to be on the season, but was removed from the cast and replaced by Joseph Abdin.
Future appearances
Ameerah Jones, Alyssa Snider, and Monte Taylor all competed on the second season of The Challenge: USA.

| Sixteen HouseGuests entered the house and claimed tickets, which assigned them to one of three challenges for the first Head of Household (HoH) competition. Paloma, Jasmine, Monte, Kyle, and Nicole were sent to the porta-potties where they heard a series of audio conversations with repeating numbers, and had to determine which number was said most often. Monte won the challenge. Taylor, Turner, Brittany, Joseph, and Terrance were sent to the piercing tent where they had to accurately clip pieces of jewelry to their faces according to a guide. Turner won the challenge. Michael, Alyssa, Daniel, Indy, and Ameerah were sent to the merchandise stand, where they held onto shirts as they were lifted from the ground, and would be eliminated if they fell. Daniel won the challenge. Pooch received the Backstage Boss ticket and did not compete. Monte, Turner, and Daniel then competed to assemble a puzzle. Daniel completed the puzzle first and became HoH. Julie then revealed that Pooch would be sent "backstage" for the week, could not be nominated for eviction, was ineligible to compete in the week's competitions, and could not vote on eviction night. Additionally, he selected Alyssa, Brittany, and Paloma to join him. | ||||||||||||

| After the HOH competition, houseguests began socializing for the first time. Paloma formed an all girls alliance with Alyssa, Brittany, Indy, and Jasmine called "Girls Girls". Daniel and Nicole formed a final two deal, in which they call themselves "The Rogue Rats". After speaking with the other houseguests, Daniel nominated Michael and Terrance for eviction. | ||||||||||||

| Following the nomination ceremony, Daniel assured Terrance that Michael is his intended target. Michael attempted to find people who would take him down if they won the Power of Veto (PoV) before coming to the conclusion that he needs to win it for himself. Players were then chosen for the PoV competition: Daniel, Michael, Terrance, Indy, Turner, and Ameerah. In the competition, HouseGuests competed two at a time by collecting metal rings on a foam lance while on artificial horses. After a tiebreaker round, Michael defeated Ameerah and won the Power of Veto. The "Girls Girls" alliance began to worry about possible alliances forming between male members of the house, much to Taylor's dismay. Taylor approached Monte and Joseph about their worry, who then talked to Paloma about Taylor's allegations. Paloma denied them and pitched the idea of evicting Taylor. On Day 6, Michael used the PoV to remove himself from the block and Daniel nominated Taylor in his place. | ||||||||||||

| Taylor and Paloma speak after the nomination ceremony and Taylor begins trying to secure votes to keep her safe. Following a conversation with Ameerah, Taylor attempts to clear things up with Monte and Paloma. On Day 8, Paloma voluntarily quit the game after experiencing mental health struggles in the house. The other HouseGuests were informed of her decision and take part in a group prayer for her. Julie reveals that the backstage twist would have culminated in an eviction competition between one of the nominees, voted on by HouseGuests eligible for voting, and one of the backstage HouseGuests, decided on by a viewer vote. The loser of the competition would have been immediately evicted. However, due to Paloma leaving, both the backstage twist and the first eviction was cancelled. The HouseGuests then participated in the next Head of Household competition, which was split into two parts. In "Bye Bye Backstage" HouseGuests competed in pairs to race across an obstacle course in an attempt to "leave" the backstage area. Michael, Taylor, Joseph, Ameerah, Jasmine, Kyle, and Monte were the first seven to make it to the other side in each competition and progressed to the second part. | ||||||||||||

| Jasmine receives treatment for a rolled ankle she obtained during the first part of the HoH competition while other members of the house rethink their alliances with Paloma gone. Daniel feels at risk because none of the three people he nominated during his HoH reign were evicted. The seven HouseGuests that made it to the second part of the HoH competition then competed in the "BB Pie Eating Contest." In each round competitors were asked true or false questions about decorations inside the house and had to answer by searching through their pie, using only their mouths, for a T or F. Each round the pies got larger in size and the first HouseGuests to answer correctly moved to the next round. In the final round, Jasmine answered correctly first against Michael and became the next Head of Household. Pooch wants to be nominated as a pawn and so that Taylor can be backdoored. Meanwhile, Ameerah proposes to Alyssa and Michael that they evict Pooch instead by supporting his plan but not using the veto on him. Jasmine however, doesn't trust Pooch and therefore dislikes his plan. On Day 10, Jasmine nominated Pooch and Taylor for eviction. | ||||||||||||

| The Girls Girls alliance, with Taylor, explain to Jasmine their plan to evict Pooch. Jasmine agrees as long as nominations stay the same after the veto. Taylor plans to still win the veto for herself to guarantee her own safety. Pooch and Joseph develop a significant "bromance" from their time spent together in the house. Players were then picked for the Power of Veto competition. Ameerah, Michael, and Terrance were chosen to compete alongside Jasmine, Pooch, and Taylor, as the Head of Household and two nominees. Taylor hopes that Michael will use the veto on her if he wins, while Jasmine doesn't want have to name a replacement nominee. In the "Mermaid Fest" Power of Veto competition the competitors, dressed as mermaids, used their heads to push a pearl over a series of ramps, and then into a hole at the end of a bowling lane. Michael was the first person to collect a pearl into each of his three holes and received the Power of Veto. On Day 13, Michael chose not to use the Power of Veto, leaving Jasmine's nominees the same. | ||||||||||||

| Pooch and Taylor continue to both believe that they are just pawns and won't be evicted. Meanwhile, a "showmance" begins forming between Alyssa and Kyle causing Alyssa to inform him about the Girls Girls alliance. Taylor discusses with Ameerah, wanting to backdoor Monte in a future week. Because of their alliance, Ameerah tells Monte what Taylor wants to do, and the two discuss with Nicole whom they should ultimately vote to evict. Pooch and Taylor are each given one last chance to attempt to save themselves by giving a speech. On Day 16, by a unanimous vote of twelve, Pooch was the first HouseGuest to be evicted from the house. In his exit interview with July, Pooch stated that he underestimated the women in the house. The "Festie Besties" twist was then introduced to the game. Julie informed the HouseGuests that going forward, they would be playing the game with a partner, known as a "Bestie". The partner of the HouseGuest that won Head of Household will be safe for the week; HouseGuests will also be nominated and play for Power of Veto in pairs, but evicted independently. HouseGuests then participated in the next Head of Household competition. HouseGuests have to hold down buttons on a "lighter" until the music playing stops when they must sit down in a chair as fast as possible. The last HouseGuest to sit down, or those who let go of their button before the music stopped, in each round were eliminated from the competition and had to choose a partner. Turner was the first HouseGuest to sit down in the final round and became the next Head of Household. He was then paired with Jasmine, the last person remaining without a partner, guaranteeing her safety for the week. Turner considers nominating Ameerah or Nicole, because he views them both as threats and wants to get revenge for Pooch's eviction. The Po's Pack alliance, consisting of Alyssa, Nicole, Ameerah, Kyle, Michael, and Monte, agree to prioritize the alliance since they are all paired with members outside of it. Alyssa and Indy were chosen to be have-nots for the week by Jasmine. Nicole wants Turner to nominate Brittany and Michael and eventually be nominated herself, so that the Po's Pack can backdoor Taylor. Turner ultimately sets his sights on Brittany and Michael or Nicole and Taylor. On Day 17, Turner nominated Brittany and Michael for eviction. | ||||||||||||

| Having been picked to compete with Taylor in the Veto competition, Nicole broke down crying, agonizing over whether to throw the competition. The house was worried about this emotional display, coming so soon after Paloma's departure, and Taylor tried to assure Nicole that she would support whatever decision she made. Nicole interpreted this as a hint to quit the game, and she angrily related the episode to other HouseGuests, including Daniel, who confronted Taylor, accusing her of having caused Paloma to quit the game and of trying to do the same with Nicole. Taylor was left in tears. For the Veto competition, each team needed to construct a puzzle on top of a pole. As one team member ran for the pieces, the other was lifted upwards. The first team to complete the puzzle would win the Power of Veto. Just before the competition started, Jasmine fainted due to her fear of heights. After she regained consciousness, Jasmine and Turner opted out of the competition, leaving just two teams to battle for the Power of Veto. Nicole did not need to work too hard to throw the competition, and Michael and Brittany won the Power of Veto. After the Veto competition, Taylor is distraught but is told by Monte to meet in the HOH room later that night. Joseph, Turner, Michael, Taylor, Brittany, Monte, and Kyle recognize they are on the outs in the game and band together to form the Leftovers alliance and plan to blindside and evict Ameerah. | ||||||||||||

| Brittany and Michael used the PoV to remove themselves from the block. Turner then named Ameerah and Terrance as replacement nominees, coming as a shock to most of the Po's Pack alliance. Terrance requested that they vote to evict him rather than Ameerah, but the Leftovers' alliance believed they had the numbers to evict Ameerah. Ameerah and Terrance were each given a chance to speak as an attempt save themselves. On Day 23, by a vote of 7–4, with Alyssa, Indy, Jasmine, and Nicole voting to evict Terrance, Ameerah was evicted from the Big Brother house. Julie then informed the nominees that each week, the surviving Besties would be able to join another group, becoming a trio, but that all other aspects of the twist would still be in play. Terrance opted to join Joseph and Monte. The HouseGuests then participated in the next HoH competition, based on the upcoming film The Invitation. 1,500 envelopes fell from the air and HouseGuests searched them to find an "invitation" to the second part of the competition. The first eight to do so were allowed to move forward. Jasmine was the first to find an invitation, followed by Terrance and Brittany. | ||||||||||||

| The eight houseguests (Jasmine, Terrance, Brittany, Monte, Daniel, Joseph, Nicole, Alyssa) who found an invitation competed in round 2 of the HOH competition, which was a form of table shuffleboard using glasses full of "blood". Monte scored the most points and became the new HOH. Monte and the Leftovers Alliance plans to target and backdoor Nicole, but does not want Taylor to go on the block again for the third time if she is not comfortable. On Day 24, Monte nominated Alyssa and Indy for eviction, with the main plan to backdoor Nicole if he gets Taylor's approval. | ||||||||||||

| After nominations, Brittany, Michael, and Taylor discuss their danger in game moving forward. Daniel and Kyle are selected to compete in the veto competition Trippy Watch Party. In this competition, one bestie answered questions regarding a story seen by the remaining besties after eating "psychedelic slop". Daniel and Kyle won the veto competition. Kyle wanted to use the veto on Alyssa, but the Michael and Brittany convince the Leftovers that it was best to leave the current nominees on the block to protect their alliance next week, as Brittany and Michael are the only Festie Besties not insulated by a pawn. Just before the veto ceremony, Monte tells Daniel and Nicole that the veto should not be used because the votes to save Nicole may not be there. Thinking Monte is lying, Daniel and Nicole decide to go against the HOH's wishes, though this means Daniel is ultimately backdooring his closest ally. At the veto ceremony, Daniel and Kyle use their vetoes, and Monte nominates Nicole and Taylor, much to Taylor's dismay. | ||||||||||||

| The house remains on edge as there are players trying to determine who was exactly involved in backdooring Ameerah. Nicole and Daniel try to fish out who exactly was involved, where they were able to identify 6 of the 7 members of the "Leftovers" alliance. While Nicole is trying to garner votes to stay, she exposes her past as a former police officer of 10 years to the "Girls Girls" alliance (Alyssa, Indy, Jasmine) where she was actually a detectective for two of those years. Also, the showmance heats up between Alyssa and Kyle after the veto was used to take Alyssa off the block, even though Kyle and his alliance were intending to take Alyssa out. On Day 30, Nicole failed to convince people to vote for her to stay, so she was evicted 9-1, with Daniel being the sole vote to save her. With Taylor needing to choose a new Festie Bestie group, she decides to join Alyssa and Indy. | ||||||||||||

| Following Nicole's exit, Daniel's emotions get the better of him as he starts to tell the house, "You all can't split the $750,000 cash prize! Start playing for yourselves!" and further lashes out at Monte. As the new HOH competition is being set up, he confronts Monte as being set up well in this game in front of the whole house and as the mastermind/manipulator who got Nicole evicted and claims "Either You or Michael are going to make it to the Final Two. Good job man! Keep up the good work!" which Monte did not take lightly. Daniel further inquires why they moved to get Nicole out, where he told Daniel it was his own fault his friend is gone. The next HOH is competition is announced as BB Fest Pooch-a-palooza: Mind Your Step, which is a balance beam obstacle course. Michael edges out Daniel to win his first HOH of the season. In an attempt to cover their tracks, the "Leftovers" concoct a plan to nominate Joseph, Monte and Terrance in an attempt to hide their alliance. On day 31, Michael sticks to the plan and nominates Joseph, Monte and Terrance for eviction. | ||||||||||||

| Following the nomination ceremony, and with nowhere or nobody to turn to, Daniel attempts to convince Michael and the house to target Monte. After talking with Terrance, the two are on the same page and Terrance is convinced to throw the Veto Competition. Michael selects the third team competing in the Veto, Turner and Jasmine. OTEV is back for the Veto competition: Get My Sauce. It comes down to Terrance and Michael, where Terrance throws the final round to let Michael win his 4th POV of the season. Once the competition is over, Daniel and Terrance start to work on convincing the group outside the "Leftovers" alliance to target Monte, who in turn agree and attempt to approach Michael one at a time. Michael doesn't like their approach, as he feels like they are trying to use him to do their "dirty work". At the Veto Ceremony, Michael and Brittany elect to use the POV and remove Joseph, Monte and Terrance from the nomination block. Michael then nominates Daniel and Kyle, and in his speech calls Daniel out for rubbing the house the wrong way. | ||||||||||||

At the veto competition, Taylor, Indy, Terrance, Alyssa, Jasmine and Kyle all partake in a challenge where they must score a certain amount of points with a ball, whoever has the least amount of points after each round is eliminated, and is able to claim a prize, one of which is the Power of Veto. With Taylor still not sure what her plans are, she threatens Alyssa to take the veto instead of her trip to London, however Alyssa takes her trip anyways which upsets Taylor. Kyle wins the power of veto, and is spoken to by The Leftovers to use the veto on one of Indy or Terrance, so Taylor can easily backdoor Alyssa after holding a grudge against her for taking her trip away from her. | ||||||||||||

| The Leftovers continue to pressure Kyle into using the veto to save one of the nominations, so they will be able to backdoor his showmance Alyssa. However he decides not to use the Power of Veto. After this, and exposing his four person alliance within The Leftovers known as "The Pound", which includes himself, Joseph, Monte and Turner, Michael and Brittany wonder if sticking with The Leftovers is their best interest moving forward. At the eviction, Indy is evicted by a vote of 7-1, with Michael voting to evict Terrance, becoming the first member of the jury. Julie reveals a new twist to the houseguests, where they will be split into two groups, one outside and one inside, and will partake in a weeks worth of game simultaneously. An HOH competition is played by the houseguests, excluding Taylor, Terrance became the runner-up and therefore the HOH of the outside group, while Michael won the competition and therefore became the HOH of the inside group. Note: This is the first live eviction episode to include a live studio audience since the finale of Big Brother 21. | ||||||||||||

At the end, Michael had picked Jasmine, Brittany, Taylor and Monte, while Terrance picked Turner, Alyssa, Joseph and Kyle. Split into two groups of five that have no interaction for the entire week. One group, Big BroChella (Michael's group), was sent to live inside the house for the week, while the other, Dyre Fest (Terrance's group), was sent to live outside in the backyard. At Big BroChella, Monte volunteers to be a pawn for Michael to easily vote out Jasmine, who now realizes that she has nobody to help her this week and is likely going home. Meanwhile in Dyre Fest, Terrance speaks with each of his group members individually and Kyle spills the beans of The Leftovers to Terrance and Alyssa. Kyle and Alyssa agree to work with Terrance to ensure that his target Joseph is evicted. At the nomination ceremonies, Michael nominates Jasmine and Monte, while Terrance nominates Joseph and Turner. | ||||||||||||

The Leftovers inside discuss if anyone at Dyre Fest has turned on the alliance. At the Big BroChella Veto Ceremony, Brittany decided not to use the Veto. After the Dyre Fest nomination ceremony, Joseph suspects that he is Terrance's target. Terrance justifies his nomination to Joseph and Turner by telling them Kyle is the target, and Joseph, Kyle, and Turner discuss how they can keep the Leftovers intact. The Dyre Fest attendees set up and competed in the Veto competition "Lunch is Served", which required the houseguests to transport 50 styrofoam containers from the start to their platform without dropping any. Terrance completed this the fastest and won the POV, securing all the power for the week. Kyle works to keep the target on Joseph, and Terrance reveals that Kyle outed the Leftovers and wants Joseph out. At the veto ceremony, Terrance decided to use the Veto on Turner and nominate Kyle in his place, in hopes that Joseph and Kyle will continue to expose each other's games if they are on the block. | ||||||||||||

| After the nominations, Turner explains his reasoning for his nominations to former Leftover allies. Michael and Brittany discuss previous conversations with Kyle in which Kyle theorized that the houseguest of racial minorities were aligned due to their backgrounds and had to factor into his decision, despite many of these being closely aligned with him. They express discontent in protecting Kyle by not revealing this information and allowing it to impact the game, acknowledging that they should have done so when these conversation started. Alyssa, Monte, and Michael were selected to compete in the Power of Veto competition. In a video message from Billy Eichner and Luke Macfarlane, the houseguests learned that the winner of the PoV competition would also get a private screening with three guests of their new movie, Bros. The competition, "BB Rom Com Fest", required the houseguest to fill a large container with wine while sliding across a slipper slope. Michael won the competition and selected Turner, Alyssa and Taylor to see the movie with him. Michael planned to use the veto on his ally Brittany, and after suspecting that Kyle was in on a plan to backdoor him or Monte, they decide to tell the house about Kyle's suggestion to consider creating an all-white alliance. They first inform Monte and Taylor, asking if they are comfortable with this issue coming to light. Brittany and Michael inform Alyssa and then Turner, hoping to make Kyle the replacement nominee. However, a misunderstanding by Terrance accidentally tips off Kyle what is going on. Alyssa informs Kyle of the situation, but he denies the accusation and fears for the repercussions to his game and life after Big Brother. | ||||||||||||

| Kyle confronts Brittany about the accusation, denying he suggested an all-white alliance and wondering why she did not address him first. Brittany reminded him of her discomfort to the idea which caused him to double down, and she struggled with how to handle this information. Kyle later speaks to Monte and Terrance to explain himself. A tearful Monte expresses his feeling betrayed since he was consistently loyalty to Kyle from early in the game. Terrance explains that Kyle's biases ended Joseph's game despite him fighting for Kyle. Later, Monte questions the convenient timing of the revelation despite Brittany and Michael being aware for weeks. A house meeting is called to openly talk through the situation. Kyle confesses again and acknowledges that his sheltered upbringing has left him with unconscious biases that he has to work through. He points out that Brittany and Michael seemed to be on board with the plan rather than being direct about their discomfort. Brittany retorts that they never agreed to it, and Michael says that Kyle's plan of action was not acceptable. Terrance pushes back, feeling this was used as game strategy due to them withholding this from those who would be affected by it. They defend that they wanted to wait until after the house was reuniting, but Terrance reminds them that knew this well before the split. Monte and Taylor express concern and love for Kyle and want to help him learn and grow by addressing racial biases rather than deny and avoid the issue. Kyle respectfully declares his game over and asks the house not to isolate him but to be transparent with him moving forward. At the veto ceremony, Michael used the veto on Brittany. Turner named Kyle the replacement nominee. Kyle was later evicted unanimously. | ||||||||||||

Twists
Backstage Boss
On Night 1, one HouseGuest randomly selected the Backstage Boss Pass. This player would be granted immunity for the week, but could not be nominated, lost eligibility to participate in the week's competitions, and could not vote on eviction night. This player also had to choose three other HouseGuests to join them Backstage. These HouseGuests would also be safe from nomination, lost eligibility to participate in the week's competitions, and could not vote on eviction night. However, the three Backstage HouseGuests were not granted immunity and would still be eligible for eviction. On eviction night, the HouseGuest evicted by the house would have gone in a head-to-head battle against one of the Backstage HouseGuests. An online public vote was held for America to grant one of the three Backstage HouseGuests immunity from eviction for the week. The loser of the competition between the house evictee and the selected Backstage HouseGuest would immediately become evicted.
Pooch ended up claiming the Backstage Boss Pass and as a result was required to select three HouseGuests to join him Backstage. Pooch selected Alyssa, Brittany, and Paloma to join him. Brittany won the majority of the public vote and would have been granted immunity for the week had the twist not been cancelled. Since Paloma chose to leave the game, the twist was cancelled.
Festie Besties
Starting in Week 3, the HouseGuests competed in sets, similarly to the Duos Twist in season 13. The HouseGuest who was named Head of Household earned immunity for their Besties, and was obligated to nominate another set of Besties for eviction. Three sets of Besties would compete for the Power of Veto: the HOH's set, the nominated set, and another set selected by random draw. Only one person from the winning set needed to decide to use the Power of Veto in order to save the nominated set of Besties. Should that happen, the entire set of Besties would be saved, forcing the HoH to nominate another set as replacements. After each eviction, the surviving Bestie chose a new set of Besties to join. The sets are listed below.
| Week 3 | Week 4 | Week 5 |
|---|---|---|
| Alyssa and Indy | Alyssa and Indy | Alyssa, Indy, and Taylor |
