'Big Brother 15': 6 of the Season's Biggest Moments
Another season of Big Brother is nearing its end. But before CBS crowns the latest winner of the summer reality staple on Wednesday, The Hollywood Reporter takes a look back at the current season. From memorable fights (see: Winegate, the bed-flipping incident) and shocking blindsides (see: Judd's first eviction) to the houseguests' insensitive remarks, the 15th cycle proved to be both entertaining and controversial. Early on in the run, host Julie Chen promised a no-floater season by enacting a new twist to the game — America's MVP, a move intended to reward good game play.
