CBS has finally announced the people brave enough to step into the Big Brother house, which in this 24th season happens to be a mid-century Palm Springs-inspired "BB Motel."
In a season that CBS has encouraged viewers to "expect the unexpected," the following competitors are no doubt preparing themselves to deal with the curveballs host Julie Chen Moonves will throw their way, along with the mind games and acts of downright manipulation other players will unleash.
So without further ado, meet your 16 new contestants of Big Brother season 24. CBS was kind enough to introduce the cast on Instagram.
Now if you didn't catch all their names or where they are from, don't worry, we've got you covered. Just take a look below.
