BB25: More on the Cast

Above is the ET Canada segment on the new hamsters.

.@CBSBigBrother is returning for its 25th season — which means another summer of big surprises and cut-throat competition all captured on 90 cameras is just about to get underway.

Some of the speculation about that video clip of Frankie, Danielle and Britney sneaking in and blowing up that time machine has to do with old comps and such returning. I would like to see the return of the food comps! Could there be a twist with some folks knowing each other? The Florida, New York or Survivor connections? Hmm.

BB25: Our New Hamsters Cast Part Two

 

Jag Bains, age 25, is from Omak, WA and is a truck company owner. He is the first Sikh Punjabi to be cast on the show. He is not only a huge fan of the show, but he's very into games in general. He knows all the terms including jury management. Hopefully, he will understand them all. 

Jared Fields is the son of Survivor's Cirie Fields! He's 25, from Norwalk CT and works as an exterminator. Maybe he will off the ants this season! He's not planning on telling the others about his mother. He says he's a big fan but not to the level of superfan.

Kirsten Elwin is 25 now from Orlando, FL via Dominica? Hmm. Dominican Republic? She currently lives in Houston, TX. Her occupation is listed as a molecular biologist. She loved the Diary Room segments when she was a kid watching the show. Hopefully, her own will entertain us!

Luke Valentine is 30, from Weston, FL currently living in Coral Springs, FL. He's an illustrator. This may or may not be his artwork, hard to tell. He seems to be a very hairy guy. We're so used to the manscaped males on the show! This is the second Weston, FL connection. Hmm.

Matt Klotz is 27, originally from Cameron, CA and now resides in Baton Rouge, LA. He is a DeafOlympics gold medalist. Hmm. I hope he has some kind of hearing assistance as I doubt others know ASL and he can't lipread a bunch of people at once. Have to wish him the best! Big fan. Thinks he will do well on the comps. He calls the show The Big Brother.

Mecole Hayes is 30, from St. Louis, MO currently residing in Upper Marlboro, MD. They list her occupation as a political consultant. She was impressed by Xavier and Taylor and has just recently married. 

Red Utley is 37 and hails from Gatlinburg, TN. He's in sales. Unfortunately, he's reminding me of Frenchie from BB23. I hope if he wins an HOH, he doesn't go all hog wild! Another one calling himself a big fan, but not superfan. I found his Facebook page. I also found his TikTok page.

Reilly Smedley is 24 from Portland, ME. She's now a bartender in Nashville, TN. Okay. She followed the show growing up with her family. She says she will adapt and NOT float.

Check out my previous post for the first eight hamsters!

BB25: Our New Hamsters Cast Part One

 

Looking for all I can find on them. If nothing else, this will give everyone a cheat sheet until we get the names and faces down.

America Lopez, age 27, currently living in Brooklyn, NY. Originally from Edinburg, TX. She's a medical receptionist. Hmm. That's not quite a job for which you would move from Texas to New York City. Hmm. In a video she says she went to an Ivy League school.

Blue Kim, age 25 ... currently another NYC person, I'm guessing Manhattan as it's just listed as NY, NY. She's originally from Riverside, CA. She's a brand strategist. Makes more sense than a medical receptionist. But, still ... Manhattan is way too expensive! I found her LinkedIn site. If so, first generation American, Korean parents. She does have a good career! May be an alternate as her video interview was not in the Diary Room.

Bowie Jane Ball, age 45. Originally from Australia, she now resides in Los Angeles, CA. She is a barrister(lawyer)/DJ. Okay. At least she's a bit older! I found this article about her. She's also known as Miranda Ball. In her video she says she will lie about age and the lawyer bit.

Cameron Hardin is a 34-year-old stay at home father who is also apparently a stay in town where you were raised kind of guy. He lives in Eastman, GA. I found this local news story on him. He's a huge superfan but plans to downplay that.

Cory Wurtenberger, age 21, is a college student in Weston, FL. He is the brother of Survivor 42's Zach Wurtenberger, first castaway voted out in his season. I'm sure that Cory hopes to do much better as a hamster! He's a superfan.

Stop the presses! Felicia Cannon is 63 years old! Whoa! About time but having one much older in the house doesn't usually work out. She is s real estate agent originally from Tacoma, WA, presently living in Kennesaw, GA. I do predict, unless she wins, they will all shout, "Bye, Felicia!"

Hisam Goueli is another 45 years old hamster! He's from Minneapolis, MN but lives these days in Seattle, WA. He's a geriatric physician according to websites I've seen. However, this news article lists him as a geriatric psychiatrist. (I may need one of those after this 100 day season!)

Izzy Gleicher is 32 and seems to be from and still residing in New York, NY. Once again, I would assume that to be Manhattan rather than another borough. She's a professional flautist. Cool. She has a website at this here link. She's a new fan although watched apparently on the BB site. No live feeds knowledge.

I will continue on with the other eight hamsters after dinner ...

BB25: Break In at the BB25 House

CBS has released a little clip of Danielle Reyes, Britney and Frankie breaking into the new BB25 house before the hamsters arrive. They have a time machine and attempt to set time back so that they can win their seasons. Instead, all goes awry and the time machine changes the house giving a BB Comics theme to much of it, as well as a sneak peek at the Have Not Room.

Um. Okay.

🚨 WATCH OUT 🚨 These Big Brother legends broke into the #BB25 house and unleashed this season’s twist… what do you think it all means? 👀

Catch the full reveal during the season premiere, Wednesday, August 2nd at 8/7c on @cbs and @paramountplus. pic.twitter.com/XetvKvq912
