Big Brother Revealed A 17th Houseguest May Join Season 26, And I Have Theories On Who It Could Be

As a long-time fan of Big Brother with over a decade of watching the reality show, I’m thrilled to see yet another exciting twist being introduced in season 26 – the possibility of a 17th Houseguest joining the cast. With the live feeds and anticipation building up, I can’t help but speculate on who this mystery player could be.


As a passionate gamer excited for Big Brother Season 26, I can hardly contain my enthusiasm as we approach the premiere date. The latest news has sent my anticipation soaring even higher! For the very first time, CBS is introducing a twist that lets players vote to bring a 17th Houseguest into the game. What an intriguing concept! Assuming the cast goes through with it, I can’t help but ponder who this enigmatic figure might be.

Now, apart from accessing live feeds with a Paramount+ subscription or on Pluto TV, we are also left in suspense as to whether the Houseguests will introduce a new member or keep the group at 16. Further information may emerge before the premiere, but for now, let’s explore potential possibilities for the identity of the 17th Houseguest.

A Former Big Brother Houseguest

In the past couple of years, Big Brother has yet to introduce a returning Houseguest. Considering the success of this twist in the past, it’s likely that producers are considering bringing back someone from an earlier season. I’d be thrilled if some past contestants I admire made another appearance. Fans have shown great enthusiasm for these kinds of surprises, and it would be fascinating to see a former disliked Houseguest redeem themselves with a compelling comeback story, similar to Rachel Reilly’s journey.

A Reality Star Of Another Television Show

In an exciting twist for Big Brother 25, the production introduced a well-known figure from another reality show as a surprise contestant. Cirie Fields, previously a successful player on Survivor, entered the house alongside her son Jared. With the growing success of shows like The Bachelor, The Amazing Race, and Love Is Blind, it’s plausible that future Big Brother seasons could invite stars from these franchises to add intrigue and attract new viewers.

An A.I. Houseguest

In the latest edition of Big Brother, the show is heavily incorporating Artificial Intelligence (A.I.). The house itself was presumably shaped by A.I. suggestions, and we can expect numerous A.I.-related challenges throughout the season. There’s a chance an A.I. Houseguest could introduce a thrilling twist to the game. This idea is intriguing, but I’m curious about how compensation and prize money would be handled for an A.I. participant. I’d consider forming an alliance with a computer in the final two, but the thought of losing to it in the finale would be embarrassing.

An Alternate Who Was Intended To Be A Backup

As a gamer, I can imagine it this way: If things go as expected, the 17th Houseguest might not even make it into the game. They’ll be stuck in the holding area, ready to step in if someone from the original 16 gets disqualified. It happened before with Christie Valdiserri being replaced by Claire Rehfuss in Season 23, and that twist turned out to be a game-changer.

If Christie hadn’t contracted COVID-19, Claire may never have met her boyfriend Derek Xiao and possibly wouldn’t have won “The Amazing Race” with him. In other words, an unexpected turn of events, like having someone else as the mystery Houseguest, could potentially bring about positive outcomes.

Luckily, “Big Brother” Season 26 starts on CBS every Wednesday from August 17th at 9:00 p.m. ET. The show goes on Thursdays as well, keeping the excitement rolling at the same time. We’ll find out who the 17th Houseguest is shortly, and perhaps, the contestants will be bold enough to add some thrills for the viewers.
