‘Big Brother’ Houseguests Announced – Fasten Your Seatbelts For A ‘Summer Of Mystery’

The conflicts, betrayals, and unexpected twists. The showmances and rivalries. The head of household and the power of veto. The weekly 24/7 live feeds, and the live eviction episodes. That’s right! It’s time for summer staple Big Brother, hosted by Julie Chen Moonves, which is themed “A Summer of Mystery” and promises a season with unexpected twists, including a “mystery player” whose identity is kept under wraps.

We can only speculate at press time who this mysterious houseguest is. Rachel Reilly, is it you? Or Derrick Levasseur? Or Johnny Bananas from The Challenge or, as also rumored, Russell Hantz from Survivor?

This 27th edition of Big Brother opens with a 90-minute installment on Thursday. And, to whet your reality appetite, here is the list of 16 houseguests competing. The live feeds open Sunday, July 13 at 9:30 p.m. PT on Paramount+ and Pluto TV.

The following are the 16 new Houseguests competing this summer. Who do you think will go the distance? And who do you think the 17th mystery houseguest will be?

Following this new array of competitors are pictures of the BB house.
