‘Big Brother’ and ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ Winners Through the Years
Last summer, the premiere of Big Brother: All-Stars season 22 was pushed back due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. The network didn’t make clear on Thursday what precautions would be taken this season, but players will once again likely have to be tested on a regular basis.
Soccer coach Cody Calafiore won last year’s all-star season in a unanimous vote against Enzo Palumbo. “I was not expecting it to be unanimous. That’s the last thing I was racking my head about,” Calafiore told Us Weekly exclusively after the finale in October 2020. “Like, if I take Enzo [to the end], how are the votes going to go? I just never thought it would be unanimous. I was blown away by that and I’m grateful for it.”
Big Brother season 23 premieres Wednesday, July 7, on CBS at 8 p.m.
