Big Brother is back — and as the old saying goes: Better late than never!
CBS has released the cast list, giving fans a glimpse at the 16 houseguests that will enter the Big Brother house on Wednesday, Aug. 2, and spend the next few months battling it out for the US$750,000 grand prize.
This season’s cast looks to be a fun bunch, with a professional flutist, a Deaflympics gold medalist, an exterminator and a geriatric physician all in the mix.
There’s also a bit of a reality TV mash-up happening, with two of the houseguests holding familial ties to Survivor alum — Jared Fields, the son of Survivor legend Cirie Fields and Cory Wurtenberger, the brother of Survivor 42’s Zach Wurtenberger, are among the 16 new houseguests.
