Big Brother<\/em><\/a> is sizzling this summer, and the season is just getting started. The reality competition show\u2019s ratings have been revealed, and it is looking good.<\/p>\n According to Deadline<\/a>, the August 10 episode, which featured the season\u2019s fifth Head of Household competition and nomination ceremony<\/a>, was the best Sunday night of the season so far for broadcast and streaming. Ava Pearl became the HOH and nominated Keanu Soto, Vince Parano, and Zach Cornell for eviction.<\/p>\n The episode reached 3.22 million viewers on CBS<\/a>. This was up seven percent from the previous Sunday. It is also 19 percent better than the same episode from last season.<\/p>\n Big Brother<\/em>, which streams on Paramount+<\/a>, saw a rise in viewership on the streamer by 14 percent from the previous week. It also had a 22 percent increase year-over-year.<\/p>\n Season 27 has had strong ratings since its premiere on July 10. In its first two weeks, Big Brother<\/em> averaged 4.8 million viewers on multiple platforms. This was up nine percent from last summer.<\/p>\n The first two episodes of the season raked in 4.9 million viewers after one week. This was an 11 percent increase over the year prior.<\/p>\n The increase in views might be due to the fact that Season 12 and 13\u2019s Rachel Reilly<\/a> is back in the house. She was brought in<\/a> as the 17th houseguest after the Mastermind\u2019s Accomplice, who turned out to be Amy<\/a>, successfully completed their tasks and unlocked the picture frame Rachel walked out of on premiere night.<\/p>\n
