Sixteen Big Brother houseguests have been confirmed ahead of tonight’s premiere episode!
If you don’t know, the Julie Chen Moonves-hosted season is set to premiere in just a few hours on CBS.
BB28‘s theme is “Time Trip.” The new season promises that house guests will “enter a world where rooms, relics and competitions transport them across moments in time, while early twists shake up the game from the start….Inspired by decades like the ’80s and Y2K, new powers and challenges can disrupt strategy and alliances,” a press release teases.
So far, this season features 14 new houseguests and 2 CBS veteran players. One is from the Survivor universe, and one has played Big Brother before. Rumors are swirling more might be revealed!
This season, it looks like we’ll have an MMA fighter, rocket scientist, game show host, a Drag Race All-Star and more competing!
