Now in its 25th season, the American version of Big Brother premiered on July 5, 2000. Julie Chen Moonves has hosted all 25 seasons of the series.

Eddie McGee won the first season of Big Brother. Believe it or not, a kid named Joshua Souza was runner-up. Although he may sound like he's from the SouthCoast, he was born in Colorado and resides in California.

For those who might not be familiar with Big Brother, it's a reality game show in which a group of contestants, referred to as houseguests, live in a custom-built "house" (actually a set on a CBS stage in Los Angeles) that is constantly under video surveillance.

The houseguests have no contact with the outside world.

As you might expect, some interesting relationships form during the season creating twists and turns and plot changes. The contestants compete for a $750,000 grand prize.

If you think you've got what it takes to win Big Brother for the SouthCoast, auditions are on Thursday, April 13, 2023, at The Shops at Mohegan Sun from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.

There are rules for applicants; among them, you must be at least 21 years old and a U.S. citizen to audition.
