5 Hottest ‘Big Brother’ Questions, Answered
Is Big Brother real? What rules do all houseguests have to follow? Answering the most popular Big Brother questions.
Big Brother 27 is officially here. And whether you're just getting into this reality or are already a seasoned fan who can recite every winner since season one, there are some questions that still remain unanswered. Today we're answering all of them.
Do Contestants Get Paid to Live in the ‘Big Brother’ House?
Yes! Contrary to what you might think, contestants aren't just competing for that grand prize. They're also getting paid along the way. Houseguests typically receive a weekly stipend just for being on the show.
The longer you survive in the game, the more you earn. Those lucky enough to make it to the jury phase see a nice raise in their weekly pay.
Is ‘Big Brother’ Scripted or Is It Real?
Big Brother isn't scripted like your favorite drama series, but it's not 100% authentic reality either. The producers don't hand contestants lines to read, but they definitely have their thumbs on the scale. And if you've ever wondered why some challenges seem perfectly designed for specific players to win, your suspicions aren't unfounded.

What Are the Rules of ‘Big Brother’?
Living in the Big Brother house is hard. These contestants basically sign away their privacy for a shot at fame and fortune. They're filmed 24/7. Houseguests have to spill their secrets in Diary Room sessions, where producers probe them for juicy reactions. And it’s up for you what game to play to actually win the show.
What Is Not Allowed on ‘Big Brother’?
Speaking of rules, there are some big no-nos in the Big Brother house. First off, forget about your iPhone or laptop. All tech is banned. No watches, no money, no reading materials (unless BB gives it to you). Even your meds need pre-approval!
And don't even think about singing your favorite song (copyright issues) Your clothes can't have big logos, you must wear your mic at all times (and treat it nicely) and gossiping about production staff is a major rule violation.
Is ‘Big Brother’ Actually Live?
Yes and no. Yes, the 24/7 live feeds are real. But those perfect episodes you watch three times a week are heavily edited to create storylines that keep us coming back for more
