CBS is building a strong roster of reality programming at midseason with the premieres of two new unscripted competitions and the return of three fan favorites.

BIG BROTHER: CELEBRITY EDITION returns for a second season Monday, Jan. 21 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT), as a group of celebrities live together in the BIG BROTHER house outfitted with 94 HD cameras and 113 microphones, recording their every move 24 hours a day.

The first-of-its-kind global talent competition features award-winning acts from every genre imaginable, from every corner of the planet. They not only have to impress the aforementioned American judges, but will also need to break through the “wall of the world,” featuring 50 of the world’s most accomplished experts from every field of entertainment. Only one act will ultimately be crowned THE WORLD’S BEST. After the post-Super Bowl premiere, the show moves to Wednesdays beginning Feb. 6.

On Wednesday, Feb. 20 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT), the Emmy Award-winning SURVIVOR returns for its 38^th season. Emmy Award winner Jeff Probst returns as host.
