‘Big Brother’ Season 28 Cast’s Relationships: Your Guide to Who’s Single & More
Big Brother fans, we are so back! It’s time for reality TV’s most romantic competition series to return for Season 28, and of course, we’re already looking forward to all the potential showmances this season could have in store.
On July 7, CBS released 14 members of the Big Brother Season 28 cast in its first-ever YouTube Broveal. Among the houseguests this season are former American Idol star Lyric Medeiros, MMA fighter Kamuela “The Jawaiian” Kirk, and RuPaul‘s Drag Race favorite Jason De Puy, a.k.a. Salina EsTitties. Oh, and there are only 14 houseguests right now, leaving at least two more “additional surprise houseguests” left to be revealed.
Right now, we’ve noticed a few things about these houseguests, including the fact that quite a few of them are from New Jersey. Maybe after this season, we’ll be saying New Jersey is for lovers. Who knows!
We’ve also noticed that based on our preliminary search, every one of these contestants appears to be single. From explicitly saying it on social media to revealing nothing about their love life at all, it seems like everyone may be open to a showmance. Only time will tell! Scroll to find out all about the Season 28 houseguests, their love lives, and more!
