The CBS reality show Big Brother just entered its 25th season, making it one of the longest-running reality TV shows in history. But it's also one of the genre's weirdest: There are the edited episodes that air on CBS proper, but viewers are encouraged to creep on contestants via 24/7 live feeds; seasons almost always involve racism or misogyny (or both!); and the show often features games involving... slime? And yet the show gets killer ratings. To pin down the enduring appeal of Big Brother, Sam talks with <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thetaylormack/?hl=en">Taylor Hale</a>, the first Black woman to win the show, and <a href="https://twitter.com/ArmstrongTaran?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor">Taran Armstrong</a>, <a href="https://robhasawebsite.com/shows/big-brother-podcast-rhap/">a man who literally watches the show for a living</a>.
