The cast of Big Brother 19 was revealed this morning, and they’re all new players, though of course there may be a twist that brings a returnee into the house, because the show loves those even more than slop.
The BB19 cast seems pretty normal, at least by Big Brother’s low standards. They are, of course, very white and very young: 10 of them are in their 20s; five are in their 30s; and the token senior citizen is 55.
CBS’ press release promised that “[d]etails about the house and some of this season’s new twists will be announced shortly.”
There isn’t yet a video online of the cast; CBS is giving early access to subscribers of CBS All Access. But there is the promo below, which is an excellent reminder of all of the annoying things about Big Brother.
