'Big Brother 12': meet the cast, including an oil man and a foot doctor (photos)

The official cast for "Big Brother 12" has now been announced, and suffice it to say it looks like we will be seeing some variety and plenty of crazy antics over the course of the next few months.

We know that first and foremost there will be a heap of drama. However, it really is still unknown as to how exactly all of the cast will fit together. In between crazy Chima, Casey wearing a banana suit, and Ronnie running around believing he was the best strategist of all time only to get completely owned, "Big Brother 11" was a crown jewel of reality TV (with the exception of what happened at the end).

This time, there are definitely some early favorites. Want to know who looks to have the goods? Check out me early impressions of each cast member in the slide show below.

Also, check back throughout the season for live-feed updates, episode recaps, and all of the summer madness that only "Big Brother" can provide.

Who are your favorites? Feel free to share your thoughts with a comment.

Andrew (39, Miami, FL) - he's a podiatrist, meaning he works on feet, legs, and ankles. He's also of the Jewish faith, meaning he may refuse to do challenges on the Sabbath (at least according to Julie Chen).

This guy could be a sleeper, but he'll have to watch out for alienating himself.
