It’s July so you know what comes with the month — Fireworks bigger than the fourth. That’s right all of the comedy, trauma, stress, secret alliances, showmances and arguing are back as Big Brother (BB24) takes over our TVs for another summer
Or is it a therapy session?
In case you don’t know, Big Brother follows a group of people living together in a house outfitted with 94 HD cameras and 113 microphones recording their every move 24 hours a day. Each week, someone will be voted out of the house, with the last remaining Houseguest receiving the grand prize of $750,000.
The popular CBS series announced today the 16 new Houseguests who will embark on the 24th season of the series when they move into the mid-century Palm Springs-inspired “BB Motel” during the live 90-minute premiere event Wednesday, July 6 (8:00-9:30 PM, live ET/delayed PT) on the CBS Television Network.
Here’s a peek inside the house:
This season’s cast includes an attorney, a Vegas performer, a hypnotherapist, a private chef, a chemical processing engineer, an interior designer and a personal stylist, among others. With never-before-seen challenges, these 16 Houseguests are in for the summer of their lives at “BB Fest.” Also, a new twist will send the Houseguests scrambling, and, beginning on premiere night, the opportunity for America to vote will impact the game.
