The main problem with this show is that sometimes couples engage in sexual activity. However, the censors always make sure that it is NOT obvious to anyone who is not thinking about such a possibility. The only way it could be obvious is when you see a couple together in a bed. Also, you sometimes see women in bikinis and men in swim trunks. There is also some moderate language, but the "big words," as you call them, are always bleeped. And keep in mind that reality competitions are supposed to be for family audiences. In fact, once, last season, when in one of the live eviction ceremonies when Julie Chen was asking some of the contestants questions, somebody was getting into some suggestive and gross dialogue, and she stopped him, saying something like, "Wait-this is a family show." Also, once, when a contestant apparently cursed during a live HOH competition, Julie Chen said, "Rachel, keep it clean." So while this show tries to stay somewhat decent in content level, there is some iffy behavior on it that may or may not be detected by kids. But I would highly recomend this show to teenagers and young adults who like reality competitions and game shows. After all, it comes on in the summers and airs three episodes a week. This level of frequency can lead to be very addicting, certainly more so than American Idol.

Can't believe this show is on in early prime time (7 pm central) on Sunday evening when more kids/families are watching tv. Inappropriate at any age. Poor role models in many ways.

In the actual TV show, the most anyone will see are some skimpy bikinis and people in their night clothes (usually meaning fairly modest underwear). Most seasons have at least 1 showmance, which means plenty of makouts.

i love this show but the girls are a problem sometimes by what they wear and what they do to get further in the game!!

I call this my trashy TV, that should scream volumes. Swearing, (most is beeped out but you can usually tell what they are saying), skimpy outfits and drama is ok for me but not my 14 year old.

Okay, Big Brother is pretty good for tweens and up. However, it being not rated is not common, especially for Reality TV. Most Reality TV is TV-PG, with an occasion TV-G or TV-14.

Big Brother really is a great show, and there isn't much to worry about here. Yes, there is frequent use of foul language, but of course the major insults/swear words are bleeped out. There is barely any nudity (if there is, it is censored) on the broadcasted show, but if you watch Big Brother: After Dark or subscribe to the live feeds, everything is uncensored. If you haven't seen this show, I highly recommend that you do. In my opinion, it is appropriate for the whole family.
