Take a look back at the ‘Big Brother’ Season 27 houseguests and what drove each of them to join the competition.

The houseguests entered the Big Brother house for Season 27, which premiered on July 10, 2025, and the summer competition has since wrapped. This year’s cast featured a mix of fiercely competitive players and quieter strategists — some who proved to be far more dangerous than they first appeared.

The CBS and Paramount+ series is clearly a popular hit, and now that we got a glimpse at how these houseguests are joining the show, fans can decipher who they think can win. According to USA Today, each cast member provided a snippet of their strategy to win the show.

Scroll through the gallery below to revisit each Big Brother Season 27 cast member.
