Xavier Prather won Big Brother U.S. 2021.

Big Brother, a riveting reality competition series in the United States, found its roots in the original Dutch reality show by the same name produced by John de Mol in 1997. The show draws its namesake from the infamous character in George Orwell's dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, published in 1949.

The inaugural season of the American rendition premiered on CBS on July 5, 2000, captivating audiences and solidifying its place as the second-longest-running adaptation in the Big Brother franchise, trailing only behind the Spanish version.

At the core of the show's premise lies a familiar format that echoes that of its counterparts, where a diverse group of individuals, fondly known as "HouseGuests," reside together in a bespoke abode that is completely sealed off from the outside world. In an effort to clinch the grand prize of $500,000, or $750,000 from the 23rd season onwards, the HouseGuests engage in an intense competition that demands their physical, emotional, and mental endurance.

The HouseGuests' every move is under constant surveillance by a web of live television cameras and individual audio microphones, offering viewers unfettered access to their daily routines and strategic gameplay throughout their stay in the house. Additionally, the personal audio microphones amplify their conversations, lending invaluable insights into their innermost thoughts and emotions and providing viewers with a ringside seat into the HouseGuests' dramatic journey.
