CBS revealed the roster for Season 26 of “Big Brother” on Monday, ahead of the show’s two-night launch on Wednesday and Thursday nights.
The upcoming season will feature 16 houseguests who will enter into the “Big Brother” house and, for the first time, have the opportunity to vote in a 17th houseguest, CBS announced in a press release.
This season’s houseguests include a renowned chef, a former undercover cop, a former marine, and the owner of a crochet business, among others.Last Thursday, the network announced the season’s theme, “Big Brother Artificial Intelligence,” or “BB AI.”
“From summer camp to technology to the multiverse, ‘Big Brother’ loves to put a twist on topical and pop culture themes,” executive producers Allison Grodner and Rich Meehan stated in a news release. “This summer’s ‘BB AI’ theme promises to bring the fun, the comedy and the unexpected gameplay that is a hallmark of ‘Big Brother.'”
