Each week in the game, HouseGuests compete in a series of competitions to win power and safety, they then vote to eliminate, or "evict", one of their own until there are only two remaining. In the finale episode previous HouseGuests vote on who they think they should win the game with the HouseGuest who receives the most votes being declared the winner. The season is expected to contain forty episodes and conclude with a 90 minute season finale on September 25, 2019.[6][7]

As with previous seasons, the program is filmed at CBS Studios, soundstage 18 in Studio City, California in a custom-built two story house.[18][19] The House is equipped with 94 high-definition cameras and over 113 microphones in order to monitor and record the HouseGuests.[20][21] The living room, three bedrooms, kitchen, dining room, bathroom, and lounge room are located on the first floor.[22] The Head of Household bedroom and bathroom, and an additional lounge area known as the "Sky Bridge" are located on the second floor.[22] The second floor is accessible by a ladder located in the entry way or a spiral staircase located in the kitchen next to the sliding glass doors that lead to the backyard.[22] The backyard area features outdoor amenities for the HouseGuests.[22] The house also features two diary rooms where the HouseGuests can privately share thoughts or send requests to producers of the series.[23] Entertainment Tonight showed the first look at the house with Kevin Frazier during their episode on the night of June 20, 2019.[24] Entertainment Tonight then released a sneak peek of the house through a brief tour on their website on June 21.[1] Meanwhile, a full house tour with the host, Julie Chen Moonves, and other photos were released through Big Brother's and CBS' social media outlets including IGTV/Instagram,[25][26] Twitter,[27][28] and Facebook.[29][30]
The Big Brother 21 house theme matched the season's overall theme and received a camp theme; Production Designer Scott Storey designed the house's features.[31] The living room features a birch-wood coffee table and a large and a 23-foot triangular window illuminated by LED lights.[32] The first bedroom features a "sleeping under the stars" theme and includes two double-beds and the exterior of a camper.[33] The camper, is only a facade into the second bedroom which features three double-beds and is assumed to be that of a camp counselors bedroom.[33] The third and final downstairs bedroom is a sports-themed bedroom primarily based from archery.[33] In the kitchen many of the appliances have been redone in an attempted to blend them in with the rest of the theme, an electronic camp fire has been added to the center of formal dining table.[34] The downstairs lounge area received a boat theme while the bathroom received a boat house like theme.[35] The upstairs lounge area, for the first time in the series history is also accessible by a ladder from the entry way, has been updated to resemble a tree house; the Head of Household bedroom and bathroom have been changed to resemble a Moroccan-style bedroom.[36] The backyard features a pool with kayak's and an attached hot tub, lawn chairs surround the back yard which also features a pool table and a washer and dryer, workout equipment, outdoor lounge areas, a hammock, and a mini-fridge.[37]
Prize

Theme
It was revealed that the theme for this season is a summer camp called "Camp B.B."[39]
Main twists
Camp Director
On the first premiere night, Julie announced that the HouseGuests would vote for a Camp Director. That person would be safe from the first eviction as well, but they had to select four HouseGuests to banish. Those four HouseGuests would then compete to get back into the house. The three winners would go back into the house while the loser stayed banished and did not return. Jackson was elected Camp Director and banished Cliff, David, Jessica, and Kemi. David stayed banished when he lost the competition.
Whacktivity Competition
On the second premiere night, Julie announced the Whacktivity Competition where a game-changing twist would be unleashed onto the house. Every week for the first three weeks, five designated HouseGuests, unless previous evicted, would play in the competition to win a special power in the house.

Camp Comeback
On the first live eviction show, Julie announced to the audience that the first person voted out of the house isn't going anywhere. After revealing Ovi's eviction, an alarm rang, and the HouseGuests were instructed to go back to the living room. They were told that the evicted HouseGuest wouldn't leave the house, but they would live inside the house as part of Camp Comeback. One of the first four HouseGuests would win their way back into the game. The evicted HouseGuests would not compete in competitions or ceremonies and would sleep in a special bedroom. The four HouseGuests, David, Ovi, TBD, and TBD, competed immediately after the fourth eviction. TBD made their way back into the game.
HouseGuests
On June 10, 2019, CBS reported that the cast would be revealed on June 17, 2019 on Big Brother live feeds to viewers with a CBS All Access subscription.[41] Former Big Brother HouseGuest Jeff Schroeder returned to host pre-season interviews with the cast after being replaced by Celebrity Big Brother alum Ross Mathews for the previous season.[42]

Notes
- ^Note 1 : On Day 1, the HouseGuests voted for a Camp Director. The HouseGuests were told that the Camp Director would receive Immunity for the first week but would have to put other HouseGuests in danger of eviction. Jackson was elected as Camp Director. He was tasked with "banishing" 4 HouseGuests, who would compete to stay in the house. Jackson chose to banish Cliff, David, Jessica and Kemi and David lost the competition. As he was immune, Jackson was ineligible to compete in the first Head of Household Competition.
- ^Note 2 : On Day 15, Camp Comeback was introduced. David returned to the house, and the following 3 HouseGuests to be voted out of the game (Ovi, TBD, & TBD) remained in the house. After the fourth eviction, the Camp Comeback HouseGuests will compete to officially re-enter the game. The losing HouseGuests will leave the house and officially be evicted.
Reception
Critical response
Following the two-night season premiere viewers accused HouseGuest Jackson Michie of discriminating against race and age.[48] Michie received the "Camp Director" power and was required to choose four HouseGuests to banish.[49] Michie's choice to banish included the seasons only two black HouseGuests, a Latina plus-size model, along with the oldest person in the house.[50] Viewers then questioned the series for the Head of Household competition which occurred the same night and was named "Color War."[51]
Big Brother is a reality show about a group of people who live together At times, the Houseguests may reveal prejudices and other beliefs that CBS does not condone. Views or opinions expressed by Houseguests are those of the individuals speaking and do not represent the views or opinions of CBS. Viewer discretion is advised.
CBS disclaimer reportedly appearing more since the incident[52]
Once the 24/7 live feeds began some viewers began calling for CBS to remove HouseGuest Jack Matthews from the series.[53] Matthews was seen on the live feeds making vicious and violent remarks about another HouseGuest, Kemi Fakunle, behind her back.[54] About Fakunle, Matthews said that she is "fucking poison"; ahead of the Power of Veto competition he stated "Bitch, you're fucking going up and you can play your fuckin' veto, but I'm gonna fuck you up!"[55] Most notably Matthews stated "Fucking Kemi makes me want to fucking stomp a mud hole right through her chest."[54] Aside from this Matthews was also seen making other derogatory comments against other HouseGuests including Ovi Kabir who he called a "brown flame" and Jessica Milagros who he called a "maggot."[56] A Change.org petition was started in an attempt to get Matthews removed from the game for Fakunle's and others safety.[53] Matthews was warned by production about comments made and to prevent further such comments.[57] Meanwhile other live feed viewers state that the CBS disclaimer has appeared more since the incident.[52]
