'Big Brother 18' Cast: Will Paulie & Tiffany Outlast Their Famous Siblings? [POLL, VIDEO]
Big Brother 18 is slated to feature two siblings of former players in the cast.
Big Brother fans should recognize two people in the show's upcoming cast. Big Brother 16 runner-up Cody Calafiore's brother Paulie Calafiore will be in the new season as will Big Brother 17 standout Vanessa Rousso's sister, Tiffany Rousso. 10 other new players are entering the house alongside them, with the possibility of other (returning) houseguests to come.
So how will Paulie and Tiffany do in the house? If their siblings filled them in on what to expect, they should have a bit of a leg up as far as planning ahead. Both Cody and Vanessa made it all the way to the end of their respective seasons, though they played vastly different games. Cody was mostly a likable, social player who did not make many huge moves but stayed loyal to his best friend, Derrick Levasseur, who won the game over him.
As for Vanessa, she played by far the most dominant game in Big Brother 17, winning four Head of Household competitions and being almost completely in charge of the house the whole season. Of course, her game ended on the final night when she lost the final HOH competition, resulting in eventual winner Steve Moses evicting her.
Paulie says in his CBS bio that he has "multiple strategies" heading into the house, "none of which have any meaning prior to entering the house and seeing what pieces I'll be playing chess with."
Tiffany is employing a similar strategy to Vanessa, having planned out three different "key facets" already: "I want to build rapport with everyone, be social, and have one person I can trust until the end. I will make people feel like I am on their side. I also hope to be great at competitions when needed. It's all about timing. You don't want to come out with guns blazing!"

Big Brother 18 premieres Wednesday, June 22 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on CBS.
