Here we go, this is the lineup of the ‘most recent and accurate’ information we have. As always, anything we hear may not be final.
28 players (14 veterans, 14 rookies) will move into the house. They will be told that 1st impressions are everything.
After some fairly short amount of time the returning players will play a new competition dubbed “Fight of Your Life” or “Fight for Your Life.” It sounds like it will be a trivia-based game revolving around past seasons of Big Brother. Each returning player could earn a spot in the game permanently once they reach some milestone in the competition (for our sake, let’s assume 3 correct answers).
When a returning player earns their right to enter the game, they will also choose one new player to enter the house with them. This means that, like in Big Brother 14, production will send invitations to the players, instead of keys. Eventually 8 returning players will earn their right to enter the game, each bringing a new player, for a cast of 16. This will also be set up so that 4 of each gender win and it will equal 8 males and 8 females entering the hous e.
Nobody who has won the game before is in the potential cast. Also, no houseguest who has been in the house multiple times are in the pool
Latest BB18 Rumors & Spoilers! Who’s Returning?!?
In the initial pool of veterans are two houseguests from #BB12 (a pre-juror and a juror). Also in the initial pool of veterans are two houseguests from #BB14 (both jurors). We do not know how many players from #BB16 are on board, but from what we’ve heard, this season will not include Frankie. There are no representatives from #BB13. There will be at least one representative from #BB3, #BB5, and #BB6.
There will be a new twist to the have/have-not system. Producers hope this will force have/have-nots to factor more into the houseguests’ gameplay than it has in recent years.
