This Thursday, twelve new houseguests will move into the Big Brother house and spend their summer competing for the $500,000 grand prize. To add a twist for season 14, four previous houseguests will return, and compete in their own game for their own separate prize. The details will be revealed on the premiere but CBS is touting them as four of the most successful players to ever enter the house.

 

In the meantime, here's a little bit about the new houseguests, one of whom is notorious Survivor villain Russell Hantz's brother! Any predictions on an early alliance or the first one to be evicted?
