Who’s In The ‘Big Brother’ Season 27 Cast? Meet The Houseguests

Now that Love Island USA is almost over, it’s time to shift your attention to summer’s other biggest reality show: Big Brother. The long-running CBS series returns for its 27th season on Thursday, July 10, with a brand-new cast ready to enter the game. Keep scrolling to meet the Season 27 houseguests and learn details about the mystery player.

Big Brother follows a group of contestants, called houseguests, who live together in a themed house equipped with more than 100 cameras and 100 microphones, which record their every move 24 hours a day. The houseguests have zero interaction without the outside world (That’s right: no phones, internet or news.)

Each week, contestants engage in social gameplay, form alliances, and strategize to avoid eviction. One player is crowned Head of Household and gains the power to nominate two fellow Houseguests for eviction, while the Houseguests vote to evict one of the nominees. The last remaining contestant walks away with the $750,000 grand prize.

While Chelsie Baham was crowned the winner of Season 26, the next installment will feature a new group of Houseguests entering the competition. This season’s cast includes a professional bull rider, event curator, marketing manager, AI consultant, aura painter, attorney, dungeon master, and a mysterious Houseguest who will be revealed later.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, host Julie Chen Moonves said she was shocked when she found out the identity of the Mystery Houseguest.

“What I can say is the mystery houseguest, when I was told who this person is, I had to expect the unexpected! I never expected that person,” she explained. “And I was very excited because, in my opinion, getting that person is epic. And that person is also very polarizing. So there's going to be a strong reaction in both directions for this mystery houseguest.”

If fans want to uncover the mystery player’s identity early, they’ll need to hunt for clues on the official Big Brother Instagram account — which has hinted that some are already hiding in plain sight.
