The Big Brother Mash-Up

The Big Brother Mash-Up is a talk show and spin-off to the Sims Big Brother series. The show is hosted by former housemates, and gives fans a chance to talk about the show with them. The evicted housemate each week is contracted to appear on the spin-off that night.

History
Plans for a talk show inspired spin-off began midway through the first season of the main series. Initial plans saw the main show's host taking on the same role. It was later decided that having alumni host the show would allow fans an opportunity to speak with their favorite contestants. Tommie Davis was in talks to be a host on the show, though declined as she hoped to finish her college education. It was confirmed that Andy Finley and Leslie Sammons would be the hosts for the show with the next seasons cast reveal. While Andy had become a fan favorite due to his jokes and humor in the House, Leslie was seen as a strong strategist and could weigh in on the housemates' games. Sam Asghari joined the panel for the spin-off's second season. Prior to the fourth season, it was announced that Leslie would be stepping down as host due to her upcoming wedding. Madeline Blossum and Paola Martinez joined the hosting panel in her place.

Prior to the launch of the fourth season, an "all star" week was announced. Following that season's launch night, eight former housemates would compete in a week's worth of competitions to compete for cash prizes. The eight contestants were announced one week before the game began. Sam Asghari departed the show prior to the fifth season, and was replaced with Holly Henderson.
