Big Brother returns for Season 20 on Wednesday, June 27. The three-month competition features 16 strangers living together in one house of confinement. They are competing for the grand prize of $500,000. On the season premiere episode, America will meet the new 16 house-guests including big man Steve Arienta. Most of the other house-guests are younger than Steve and aren’t shy about walking around in a bathing suit flashing six-pack abs and toned tooshies. Steve doesn’t have either of those physical attributes but he does have a winning smile.
The 40-year-old husband and father from New Jersey was a former narcotics detective with the NYPD. Now he’s a college professor at Westchester Community College teaching Criminal Justice. He earned his B.A. from Thomas Edison State College, his M.S. from University of Cincinnati, and he’s a PhD candidate in criminal justice at Walden University. That’s Dr. Steve Arienta to you! Big Brother airs Wednesdays and Thursdays at 9pm, and Sundays at 8pm on CBS. You can also watch Big Brother 24/7 on CBS All-Access.
