'Big Brother 17' Houseguests: CBS Announces 14 New Cast Members Including Wrestler, Poker Player & More
CBS officially announced 14 new houseguests who will be part of this summer's Big Brother 17 cast.
Would 'Big Brother' Winner Derrick Levasseur Ever Consider Returning?
There's a poker dealer, a cashier, a dentist and a professional wrestler and while the 14 new cast members are from all different walks of life, they are all very young. The oldest person in this cast is 33 years old, with the overall cast skewing very young.
Another thing of interest is that in CBS's press release (which includes photos) announcing the new cast, they simply state "CBS Announces 14 New Houseguests," which could suggest that there might be more coming. The last three seasons have featured 16 houseguests and there's no reason to believe that they would go back to 14, considering the length of the season.
One 'Big Brother' Houseguest May Be Evicted in Premiere Week
Could this mean that there are two houseguests yet to be revealed? Will they be returning players?
Either way, here is a look at the new cast:
Jace Agolli - a personal trainer living in Venice Beach, Calif. He is 23.
Becky Burgess - a retail manager living in Denver, Colo. She is 26.
Clay Honeycutt - a graduate student from Texas A&M living in College Station, Texas. He is 23.
James Huling - a retail associate living in Wichita Falls, Texas. He is 31.
Meg Maley - a server living in New York City. She is 25.

Audrey Middleton - a digital media consultant from Villa Rica, Ga. She is 25.
Steve Moses - a college student from Gouverneur, N.Y. He is 22.
Liz Nolan - a marketing coordinator from Miami, Fla. She is 23.

The press release says that this summer's "exciting new twist will be announced soon." Could this be the inclusion of two other players, or will it be something else entirely? Only time will tell.
Big Brother 17 premieres Wednesday, June 24 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on CBS.
