'Big Brother 18' Cast: 12 New Houseguests Include Cody's Brother & Vanessa's Sister [VIDEO]
CBS announced the 12 new houseguests entering the Big Brother house this summer for the reality show's 18th season.
The Big Brother 18 cast includes players from all different backgrounds, and two that may look a bit familiar. That's because two of the players are siblings of former houseguests!
DJ Paulie Calafiore is the brother of Big Brother 16 runner-up Cody Calafiore, while high school teacher Tiffany Rousso is the sister of Big Brother 17 standout Vanessa Rousso. Both will compete among 10 other new houseguests who don't appear to have any connection to past houseguests.
Digging into the other 10 houseguests, Paul Abrahamian is a clothing designer from Tarzana, Calif. Victor Arroyo is a gym manager from Slidell, La. Corey Brooks is a baseball coach from Dallas, Texas. Bronte D'Acquisto is a student from Denver, Colo. Bridgette Dunning is a traveling nurse from Ventura, Calif. Zakiyah Everette is a preschool teacher from Charlotte, N.C. Jozea Flores is a make-up artist from Los Angeles, Calif. Glenn Garcia is the oldest person on the cast, a 50-year-old dog groomer/former police detective from Bronx, N.Y. Michelle Meyer is a nutritionist from Washington Township, Mich. Natalie Negrotti is an event coordinator from Franklin Park, N.J., and was born in Venezuela.
This coming season will last a record-breaking 99 days, a bump up from the 98-day Big Brother 17.
Considering this is the longest season ever and there were only 12 houseguests announced on Tuesday, many fans are already speculating about other houseguests being involved. The past four seasons have had 16-17 houseguests in total, so it stands to reason that more players will likely be involved with the season.
This seems to make the four returning players rumor even more likely, though there are conflicting reports on exactly which four alumni are returning. It remains to be seen when the show might announce these other players.
Big Brother 18 premieres Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET/PT on CBS.
