Big Brother 25 features a brand-new cast of house guests, all of whom want to be crowned the next winner of the series by the end of the summer. With a whole new house and a bunch of new house guests, the milestone BB season's shaping up to be one of the most interesting summers in a while. For a show that's been on the air for nearly 25 years, it's a shocking feat to consistently be surprising and exciting throughout the years. That's especially true since social media users try to spoil everything from season to season. For the newest BB house guests, the competition is looking heated.

Big Brother's been airing since 2000, but the series has gained popularity in recent years. After BB 22, which was a second edition of Big Brother: All Stars, the series has been advertising just how diverse Big Brother competitions can be. After CBS mandated that the series needed to have 50% BIPOC in the cast, the show's become a far more diverse series, and the casting changes have brought in more viewership. Over the last two seasons, the series has climbed in the ratings, and crowned two winners of color. What's in store for the house guests of BB 25?

America Lopez

America Lopez is hoping to become the next winner of Big Brother, though she knows she'll have her work cut out for her. Originally from Edinburg, Texas, America now lives in Brooklyn, New York, and works as a medical receptionist. At 27 years old, America has experience with all types of people, and hopes to bring that into her BB 25 gameplay.

Blue Kim

As a brand strategist and influencer, Blue Kim understands that first impressions are incredibly meaningful, and hopes to use this to her advantage in the BB house. Originally from Riverside, California, Blue now lives and works in New York City. At 25 years old, she hopes to use her job experience and bi-coastal lifestyle to her advantage.

Bowie Jane

An Australian transplant, Bowie Jane's hoping that she can use some Aussie slang to impress the house guests, whose backs she needs to stab in order to win the game. At 45 years old, Bowie one of the older competitors this season. She hopes her age is seen as an advantage. A Barrister/DJ, Bowie knows how to entertain a crowd, and hopes this will be a great asset to her game.

Cameron Hardin

As a stay-at-home dad, Cameron Hardin's extremely patient, and he hopes that this trait will help him to stay strong in the BB house. At 34, Cameron has enough life experience to get along with all kinds of people. With his family waiting for him to bring the prize money back home to Eastman, Georgia, he's hoping to make his family proud on Big Brother.

Cory Wurtenberger

A student from Weston, Florida, Cory Wurtenberger's hoping that the prize money from Big Brother will help to fund his continuing education. Though Cory's one of the younger BB players this season, he's hoping that his age won't be a factor when it comes to trying to determine how good he is at the game. At just 21 years old, Cory's hoping he can become one of the youngest BB winners ever.

Felicia Cannon

A 63-year-old real estate agent, Felicia's one of the oldest competitors Big Brother's ever seen. She won't be letting her age stop her from doing anything, especially when it comes to playing the game. As a real estate agent, Felicia's used to handling big personalities, and pushing things along. That makes it easier for her to get what she wants. Here's hoping this competitor's able to use her manipulation tactics to pull off a win.

Hisam Goueli

Hisam Goueli's a geriatric physician from Minneapolis, Minnesota, and he's hoping that he'll be able to use his charm to his advantage. Though he's originally from the Mid-West, Hisam currently resides in Seattle. Having to deal with older patients from all walks of life, Hisam's hoping that he'll be able to keep up with the Big Brother 25 competition at 45 years old.

Izzy Gleicher

A flutist from New York City, Izzy Gleicher's going to turn heads when they enter the BB house. While Izzy has a huge personality and an interesting career, they're hoping that their positive nature is what will truly win over their fellow Big Brother house guests. Looking to win the prize money, Izzy hopes they'll be able to whistle through the competition.

Jag Bains

Due to his loud personality and louder fashion choices, Jag Bains will certainly be turning heads as a Big Brother 25 house guest. A truck company owner from Omak, Washington, Jag will be looking to bring the BB prize money home to his family in the Pacific Northwest. At 25 years old, Jag has huge dreams, and hopes that Big Brother will be helpful when it comes to achieving them.

Jared Fields

Son of the Survivor legend (and winner of The Traitors US) Cirie Fields, Jared has some huge shoes to fill coming into the BB house. While it's not certain that he'll share his identity with the rest of the house guests, winning's in Jared's blood. The 25-year-old exterminator from Norwalk, Connecticut will try to follow in his mother's footsteps, by taking home a huge prize.

Kirsten Elwin

A molecular biologist living in Houston, Kirsten Elwin isn't your average scientist. Originally from Orlando, Florida by way of Dominica, Kirsten's fought hard for every opportunity she's been given. She'll try to do the same as a BB competitor. For Kirsten, experimenting in the BB house may be her best bet.

Luke Valentine

An illustrator living in Coral Springs, Florida, Luke Valentine's hoping that he can draw his way to the $750,000. Having moved from one part of Florida to another, Luke's happy with his career, and hopes he can use some of his cartoonist charm to erase the competition. At just 30, Luke's in the middle of the pack when it comes to the competitors' ages. He'll likely be able to form alliances with everyone else in the house.

Matt Klotz

A first in the BB house, Matt Klotz's a deaf athlete competing for the grand prize on Big Brother 25. Originally from Cameron Park, California, the 27-year-old currently lives in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He's a Deaflympics gold medalist, and hopes to bring awareness to deaf competitors as he plays for the grand prize on Big Brother.

Mecole Hayes

Originally from St. Louis, Missouri, Mecole Hayes has used her smarts and Southern hospitality to get a seat on Capitol Hill. She currently works as a political consultant in Upper Marlboro, Maryland, and at 30 years old, has met people from all walks of life. That'll give her a taste of what it'll be like in the BB house. Since she deals with politicians, it's likely that Mecole knows how to communicate effectively, and will do her best to use her skills in the Big Brother house.

Red Utley

A true down home country boy, Red Utley's hoping that he can survive all the way to finale night on Big Brother. Hailing from Gatlinburg, Tennessee, Red comes from a vacation town in the Great Smoky Mountains, and hopes he'll be able to bring his brand of Southern hospitality into the BB house. At 37 years old, the salesman may be able to sell himself to the competition.

Reilly Smedley

A bartender in Nashville, Tennessee, Reilly Smedley's seen it all when it comes to personality types. The 24-year-old's originally from Portland, Maine, and hopes that Big Brother 25 will help her to make her dreams come true. As one of the younger house guests, Reilly may have her work cut out for her as she begins to sniff out the competition.
