Legend, Cirie Fields, introduced as the 17th Houseguest of BB25.
EW can exclusively share the cold open of tonight’s episode, which will air this evening on CBS at 8 p.m. ET. The release of the footage comes on the heels of Big Brother confirming a long-rumored twist: “The #BB25 multiverse will release a mystery 17th [houseguest],” reads a tweet from the official Big Brother Twitter (er, X?) account. “What’s your guess for who it is?”
Cirie competed on the competition series four times including 2006’s Panama, 2008’s Micronesia, 2010’s Heroes Vs. Villains and 2017’s Game Changers. Jared briefly appeared on the Game Changers season as his mom’s loved one.
Despite never winning Survivor, Cirie has been deemed one of the greatest players to have never taken home the million-dollar prize. Earlier this year, Cirie was crowned the champion of another show — the first season of Peacock’s The Traitors. Following her win, Cirie exclusively told Us Weekly about how she is a fan of Big Brother and had dreamed of competing on the series.
While our brains are reeling to figure out who that mystery houseguest might be, lets turn our attention back to the exclusive sneak peek: The billowing voice of Big Brother begins the opening in his traditional manner, welcoming viewers to “a house like no other” and running through the logistics of the production, including 94 cameras and 113 microphones used to capture all the action. But this being a milestone anniversary for the reality competition series, the intro then pivots to a lightning-speed retrospective of the past 24 seasons showcasing the 304 competitors who have entered the house over the years.
Fans flocked to the comments section to share their guesses on the identity of the mysterious houseguest. One popular name mentioned was 53-year Cirie. When the cast was officially announced on Monday, July 31, it was revealed that Cirie’s son Jared was one of the 16 houseguests. Before entering the house, Jared, 25, told fans via an Instagram Reel on the show’s official page that his mom was a “Survivor legend.”
