For all BB superfans and casual viewers out there, here’s your introduction to the houseguests you’ll be rooting for—or maybe against—all season long.
Big Brother Season 27 Cast
One hell of an arrangement came down this year, with 16 new houseguests set to duke it out for the half-a-million big prize. Here’s the full cast roster by age and region, along with their bios and some of our early impressions.
1. Aaliyah “Ali” Turner (24) – Los Angeles, CA
Occupation: Fashion Influencer
Background: Ali usually rocks more than half-a-million followers on Instagram, known for her bold style and no-holds-barred opinions.
First Impression: Social and bubbly; might command an early alliance but would be a good target if she’s too showy. Expect a plethora of Diary Room moments.
2. Brian “Bri” McKenna (28) – Boston, MA
Occupation: Firefighter
Background: A blue-collar hero with a soft side. He’s been a fan of Big Brother since Season 2.
First Impression: Likable and trustworthy; play it too safe, though? Might get underestimated.
3. Tiffany Cruz (30) – Miami, FL
Occupation: Criminal Defense Attorney
Background: Smart, articulate, and strategic. Tiffany isn’t here to make friends — she’s here to win.
First Impression: Massive gamebot vibes — calculated, cold, and probably the season’s brain.
4. Liam Carter (26) – Salt Lake City, UT
Occupation: Adventure Travel Blogger
Background: A thrill-seeker who has backpacked through at least 30 countries.
First Impression: Got charm and charisma but possibly strategic weakness. If he stays beyond week 4, watch out.
5. Chanel DeVries (33) – New York City, NY
Occupation: Broadway Dancer
Background: Graceful, focused, and fiercely competitive. She trained at Juilliard.
There are certain aspects that gave Nehemiah his dark-horse air. If he gets through the early stages with footing, that poise and patience will take him very far.
6. Jaxon “Jax” Reed (21) – Nashville, TN
Occupation: College Athlete (Football)
Background: The youngest in the house but strong and confident. Known for being a leader and an athlete on campus.
First Impression: A physical threat. He would probably have the strength to win challenges but maybe lackability in the social game to form alliances.
7. Savannah Kim (29) – San Francisco, CA
Occupation: UX Designer
Background: Quiet, tech savvy, and so low profile but highly observant.
First Impression: One classic floater or maybe a silent assassin? Time will tell, but do not count her out.
8. Marcus Delgado (35) – Houston, TX
Occupation: High School Principal
Background: A leader from nature, he knows how to bring order to chaos and think of the long run.
First Impression: Could easily be viewed as the house “Dad” and get a lot of trust. Expect a strong social game.
9. Hailey Brooks (23) – Chicago, IL
Occupation: Makeup Artist
Background: Has a TikTok following and bubbly personality. She’s here for the fun– it might well be for a showmance.
First Impression: Good social skills, but is she ready for the emotional pressure.
10. Andre Mitchell (32) – Atlanta, GA
Occupation: Entrepreneur
Background: He runs some fitness studios. Charismatic, disciplined, and driven.
First Impression: Alpha male energy coming its way. Either going to be a leader or a major threat by midseason.
11. Rachel Lin (27) – Seattle, WA
Occupation: Data Scientist
Background: Analytical thinker with a calm demeanor. Huge Big Brother fan.
First Impression: Has to be brain over brawn. She could be an invisible threat pulling all the strings from behind the scenes.
12. Connor Walsh (25) – Denver, CO
Occupation: Bartender
Background: Life of the party with a reputation for charm and flirtation.
First Impression: Most likely showmance material. But will the charm get him to the final 2?
13. Evelyn Garcia (38) – Phoenix, AZ
Occupation: Real Estate Broker
Background: Striving and assertive, and Evelyn is around for a tough deal.
First Impression: She is a hard, strong-willed player who will never take betrayal lightly. Could be major fights.
14. Trevor Banks (31) – Minneapolis, MN
Occupation: Podcast Host
Background: He runs a pop culture and sports podcast. Outspoken and funny.
First Impression: Maybe the fan favorite. Expect great confessionals and gameplay commentary.
15. Isabella “Bella” Nguyen (22) – Orange County, CA
Occupation: Nursing Student
Background: Sweet, caring, and low-key; avoid mistaking her for someone weak.
First Impression: Would likely slide under the radar and make a deep run. Beware of that post-jury stage.
16. Nathaniel “Nate” Davis (34) – Detroit, MI
Occupation: Former Pro Boxer
Background: Disciplined, hard, determined to make a new life after the ring.
First Impression: A clash of wills. Forming alliances with the guys but may be socially challenged.
