‘Big Brother 5’ houseguests unveiled
Who would be willing to sacrifice their privacy for a chance to win $500,000 U.S.? ‘Big Brother’ fans got their answer today as CBS revealed the identities of the 13 ‘Big Brother 5’ houseguests.
Comprised mostly of swinging singles in their 20’s, this year’s selection of competitors features only two married players and one who is engaged.
Old folks didn’t fare well in the selection process either as Mike Lubinski, a single dad and commercial printer from Michigan, is the only houseguest over 40-years-old.
The houseguests do come from a variety of backgrounds though. There is a web designer, a volunteer firefighter, a yoga instructor, a registered nurse, a mortician and a model.

CBS has also announced some changes to the ‘Big Brother’ house itself. There is a cloud or fluffy bedroom, a wood and cement one. In the cement bedroom, the beds are actually made out of concrete. The houseguests will also not have a basketball court to use this year. It has been replaced by a putting green and a kick boxing station. Small sharks populate the fish tank.
‘Big Brother 5’ debuts with a special 90-minute broadcast on Tuesday, July 6 (8:00-9:30 PM, ET/PT) on CBS. Following the premiere, ‘Big Brother 5’ will be broadcast each week on Tuesdays (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT), Thursdays (8:00-9:00 PM, live ET/delayed PT) and Saturdays (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT).The Thursday broadcast will feature the live eviction of one of the houseguests.
On the ‘Big Brother’ series, a group of strangers will live together in a house outfitted with dozens of cameras and microphones recording their every move 24 hours a day, seven days a week. As the outside world watches on television and the Internet, the HouseGuests will vote each other out, one by one, until only one remains and goes home a half million dollars richer.
