America, meet your houseguests! CBS announced the 14 players competing on Season 17 of Big Brother on Tuesday, June 16, and as is tradition with the long-running reality series, this summer's installment will force the players (and viewers) to expect the unexpected.
Among the houseguests vying for votes include a former WWE wrestler, a professional poker player and a poker dealer, a dentist, and a few college students.
Julie Chen returns to host the series, which will also include to-be-announced twists that'll be revealed on BB17's two-night premiere on June 24 and 25. The last remaining houseguest will pocket a cool $500,000 prize.
