CBS has recruited 16 new houseguests to be locked inside the house, and there's some pretty intense personalities vying for the $500,000 grand prize. The youngest competitor is a 21-year-old college student with a fear of crossing the street, and the oldest is a 40-year-old former undercover cop. There are "Vegas entertainers," fitness models and professional dancers in the middle. Here's When Big Brother and CBS' Other Summer Series Premiere Currently, there are no returning houseguests on the slate, but with this season being the milestone 20th season, you should expect the unexpected. Julie Chen returns as host for Season 20, which kicks off with a two-night premiere event beginning Wednesday, June 27 at 8/7c and concludes Thursday, June 28 at 9/8c. This year CBS All Access is allowing subscribers to watch a livestream of the houseguests' first interviews Monday, June 18 beginning at 8 a.m. PT/11 a.m. PT on CBS.com, but you can get your first look at the roommates and their occupation in the gallery below.<doc-sep>
Expect the unexpected? More like expect the vet. In a recent poll, 55 percent of our readers think there will be multiple veterans returning for “Big Brother 20” this summer. It would be the third year in a row an alum came back, but it probably makes the most sense this year given the landmark number the show is hitting. Thus far, CBS has only announced the 16 new cast members, the new theme (“Silicon Valley”) and the name of the new twist (the BB App Store, which gives fans to get their favorite Houseguests trending to get specific powers and punishments). But some details about the two-hour premiere might offer some clues: The opener will feature three new challenges that will “yield a game-changing power — and two unprecedented punishments,” according to CBS. SEE ‘Big Brother 20’: Snap judgments on the 16 new Houseguests The last time there were three challenges on a premiere was during “Big Brother 18,” when four vets — James, Frank, Da’Vonne and Nicole — moved back in. But that season started with only 12 newbies; the show has never had more than 17 cast members a season, which was during Season 17 and last year, when Paul returned, leading to Cameron’s eviction hours later. But you are far less in confident in just one vet returning like Paul did: Only 13 percent believe that will happen. On the flip side, 32 percent don’t think any familiar faces will return.
