Due to the writers’ strike (and later the actors’ strike), “Big Brother 25” premiered later than usual year. The 25th installment launched on Wednesday, Aug. 2 with 90-minute episode and aired on Sundays, Wednesdays and Thursdays like it typically does for the first half of the season. Once mid-September rolled around, things got crazy. And now with the finale finally here after the longest season ever — 100 days — things are shaking up again. Here is how it all breaks down (all times ET unless otherwise noted).

8-9:30 p.m.: 90-minute premiere with live move-in
