I'm not a big fan of the buckets, but they usually work best with a layer of gravel st the bottom and plenty of drill holes.
I have about 20 drill holes per bucket and 2 inches of gravel. That isn't the problem.
I'm reading that blossom end rot is the exact opposite of over watering, so which I should it

What time do you water? Morning or night? Do you fertilize?
Watering tomatoes everyday is not recommended. Even container tomatoes which dry out faster would be better served with a drink every other day or possibly 3 days.
Just stick your finger in the dirt. If its wet past your 2nd knuckle don't water.
Also when tomatoes get that size, if you over water, they will start to split.

Keep reading. Periods of wet followed by periods of dry...periods of dry followed by periods wet ...either one can cause the plant to struggle with uptake of calcium causing blossom end rot. Adding calcium nitrate in small amounts helps. There are some sprays but in my experience do little to nothing. Once it starts it's hard to stop it. In your case over watering could be the problem.
