Meet the 17 houseguests who will be living together and competing against each other when season 25 of Big Brother premieres Aug. 2 on CBS. The cast brings with it a number of firsts in the Big Brother franchise, including a hearing-impaired houseguest, a Sikh houseguest, and a woman over 60 years old. The season also features the franchise's first Australian and Appalachian contestants, as well as houseguests named Red, Blue, and America. And if one houseguest seems vaguely familiar, it's because his brother, Zach Wurtenberger, was voted out first on Survivor 42. And yet another player is the son of Survivor legend Cirie Fields! And surprise, surprise! Cirie is actually playing herself! Here's the latest fresh meat, and you can see video of the cast right here!
