The sixth season of CBS's American version of Big Brother consisted of thirty episodes which aired from July 7 to September 20, 2005. It was again hosted by Julie Chen.
This was the first season to be filmed in the newly remodeled Big Brother house, located in a CBS sound stage.
The seasons twist was that each houseguest was secretly partnered with another houseguest (totalling seven pairs) they had known prior to entering the Big Brother house. These partners played the game as individuals, but if both managed to make it to the final two, the winner would receive $1 million while the runner up would receive $250,000. The final partner to be broken up was Ivette Corredero and Beau Beasley who had managed to make it to the final six together. This season's winner was Maggie Ausburn, who defeated her close ally and friend Ivette Corredero by a 4-3 jury vote.
The rules remaining mostly the same as in previous seasons, but this season contained twists that CBS dubbed the "Summer of Secrets".
The main twist that was each HouseGuest had a secret partner, who they already knew in the real world, a fact that they must keep a secret. Initially, each secret pair thought that they were the only secret pair. If both members of a secret pair reached the final two, the game's winner would receive a prize of $1 million, while the runner-up would receive $250,000. The secret pairs were as follows:
Another twist occurred when the America's Choice Poll allowed the public to vote on which evicted HouseGuest would return back into the game. While Kaysar returned back into house after being evicted, he wasn't actually the first to do as Amy from Big Brother 3 had also returned to the house (but not in a public vote).
April Lewis (born July 29, 1974, from Dallas, Texas). Her secret partner was Jennifer. She finished in fourth place, being evicted in week 11 by HouseGuest Ivette who was the only HouseGuest eligible to vote.
Ashlea Evans (born April 24, 1983, from Plantation, Florida). Ashlea and Janelle were secret partners, being ex-roommates. She was the first HouseGuest evicted in week two by a vote of 9-2.

Eric "Cappy" Littmann (born April 29, 1969, in Boston, Massachusetts) was known as "Cappy" by his alliance. Eric and Maggie were secret partners, as Eric worked as a firefighter with Maggie's boyfriend. He was evicted in week four by a vote of 5-4.

She became infamous for her remarks regarding Muslim HouseGuest Kaysar, reportedly calling him a "sand nigger" and a "fake Muslim." The comments were not broadcast. Big Brother producer, Arnold Shapiro, said: "I wouldn't want my name on a show that was having those kinds of things spoken."
James Rhine (born December 6, 1975 in Miami, Florida) was a loss prevention manager (although he lied about his occupation to the HouseGuests).

She returned to host a Power of Veto competition in Big Brother 8, The Janelle-O-Vision, and was Season 6's representative in a food competition celebrating 10 years of Big Brother in Season 10.
Jennifer Vasquez (born April 8, 1978) was a Dallas Desperados dancer and a substitute teacher from Plano, Texas who had just graduated with her master's in counseling before entering the Big Brother house. Her secret partner, April, was also in the same sorority at another college during different years. However, Jennifer and Maggie were closer during their stay in the Big Brother house. Jennifer was evicted in week 7 by a vote of 5-1 and became the first member of the jury who would later select the champion.
She has now put her acting/modeling career aside to pursue a career in teaching and counseling in the Dallas metroplex.
Kaysar Ridha (born August 10, 1980, in Baghdad, Iraq) is a graphic designer from Irvine, California. He was the first Muslim contestant on the show.
