There are two sides to Big Brother. The live show, which CBS edits three times a week, compressing days of footage into forty minutes. And the 24/7 live feeds, which OnlineBigBrother has live blogged since 2008. CBS blocks the feeds during competitions, Diary Room sessions and the Thursday live eviction — the feeds show you the alliances forming, the mind games and everything the edit leaves out.
Below is the broadcast side: every episode, its air date, and what happened on it.
