Off the Block with Ross and Marissa (often shortened to just Off the Block)[1] is a reality aftershow and spin-off of Big Brother hosted by Ross Mathews and Marissa Jaret Winokur who were both HouseGuests on the first season of Celebrity Big Brother. The show premiered on June 29, 2018 as a Facebook Watch exclusive.[2] The series did not return as a companion to Big Brother 21.[3]
