At the end of the six episodes, only one Houseguest will be the one taking home a Christmas gift of $100,000.

All Big Brother Reindeer Games episodes are airing on CBS, which means if you have a traditional pay-TV provider or a TV antenna to receive local station signals then you can watch each episode live.
