Latest rumour is that the cast is half new people and half people from other reality TV shows.

Another forum I saw suggested some oldies, rumours included Nicole/Frank/Zack/Keesha. Whatever about the first three I highly doubt Keesha will be back, even though I'd love if she was.

The 14 we have seen look very vanilla. Hopefully they won't be but the casting has been so poor the past couple of seasons I don't have high hopes.

I'm predicting a dull all male alliance to start day one, maybe jettison a couple of members but then cruise to the final.

I think it's okay, lets see how they do before we judge.

However, I think that the males seem very beta. Except for maybe Clay who looks jock type the others don't look like that. I think it's obvious production don't want a huge male alliance. Hence, why the females look more interesting.

CBS desperate to push for a female win it looks like to me. Depending on who else comes back.

Shocked Bella from Utopia is not on. She would have been hilarious.

They might make it a 20 cast I think. It accounts for the 13 week season, rules out return Jury twist BS, more double eviction / twists.

I thought the coaches twist series was alright, but because of production no one was really playing their own game except the coaches. Which was great if you liked the coaches.

I'm giving it a week, if it sucks, I'm not carrying on watching

I hope you're right but it's not like Ian or Andy were powerhouse alphas

I read another rumour that said the new twist is that the other HG will be contestants who've appeared on reality tv in the past.

Bella - Utopia
A girl from Bad Girls Club
One of the Hantz's.

LOL, if that's true you can tell that production is desperate for drama considering how boring BB16 was.

A few things you all may not be aware of regarding this year's cast:

-Vanessa is a professional poker player who is well-known. She's hoping nobody will recognize her by telling everyone she's a DJ.

-Da'Vonne, however, is a poker dealer. Not sure if she's met Vanessa before, but she may recognize her from TV.

-Austin has had some success in pro wrestling. He's probably known by wrestling fans as Judas Devlin.

-James is basically an Asian Donny. If you only heard his voice, you'd never believe he's Asian.

And this one just became confirmed, and a lot of us had speculated it since her interview: Audrey is transgendered.

Clay already has questionable twitter posts.

He seems at this point the only one with that kind of controversy. Obviously in the grand scheme of BB bigots thats hardly the worst post in the world but you;d think CBS would be more careful, obviously not.

I think it will be men vs women. They will bring back 1 previous houseguest to be the leaders of the men and women (making it 16 in total) and they will play the first half of the season like that, with all men or women safe if they win HOH

It's hard to judge based on just pictures alone but the new cast seems so average to me. I think this is the first year I'm not really excited for BBUSA

EDIT: First transgender houseguest this year! This makes it a bit more interesting. Don't know if I can post the links? But it's all over TMZ and Twitter

I always expect the worst, ever since BB 14 onwards I don't think I've enjoyed a season but stick with it out of obligation, and to be fair I only really liked BB13 because Rachel won

I just watched the girls interviews with Jeff and so far on first impressions I like Vanessa, Meg and DaVonne, all of that could change though

It looks like Vanessa is a lot of peoples faves, it kind of does look like they've put a lot of weak guys in there giving her an easier time of it but ... when have poker players ever done well in these types of shows? They always seem to be the early faves on BB and Survivor and then when they're on the shows they're rubbish

So true ^ just look at Kevin on BBCAN lol

Just watched the guys videos and I like Jason (he says he watches all of the english speaking Big Brothers) and Austin/Judas , not really sure on the others.

A lot of them say they're super fans so maybe that's good.

I don't buy that just two returnee players will come back.

If it's Nicole / Zach they'll get booted in the first few weeks. Production are desperate for past players to reach jury stage at least.

So maybe it'll be 4 returnee players??

Making the cast 18??

Don't think I'll bother with the interviews, Amanda was a fan favourite in BB15 on the basis of those interviews I think, and then it turned out she must have been raised in a sewer.

Similar to BB Celebrity Hijack in the UK. Celebrities (or guests) control the twist for the week.

It's smart because they can add a new twist to save players and also bring back familiar faces to keep the viewers up

Will probably be the most rigged season ever then.

The first twist will probably be the Houseguests have to pick 4/2 additional cast members from a lineup.

14 contestants for a 13 week season is ludicrous. Unless BB USA pulls an unforgivable twist in allowing new houseguests to come into the game at around week 6. New houseguest do not work on the BB USA format of the show.

I've watched a few interviews of the new cast. My initial assessment might have been wrong

A few of them seem absolutely nuts, there's a couple of them I've watched that couldn't possibly have got beyond a regular psyche test. I would seriously be hiding knives if I was in there with them.
