The Big Brother cast of thirteen is in the house and getting ready for their public revealing on the July 8, 2010 premiere. In this season's twist called "the season of sabotage," CBS has employed a mole to disrupt the entire house. Executive producer Allison Grodner explains why.
I don’t think we’ve ever had so many BB superfans in the house at one time. They have an encyclopedic knowledge of the program and know it better than we do. To throw them off, we’re going to make the game harder to play than ever before.”
During the live episode on July 15, viewers will be introduced to the impostor, and will be given a chance to suggest ways to make the house guests miserable. The house guests will not be told the mole's identity and will not even know of their existence until the show premieres. The longer he or she can stay incognito, the more money they will make.
Cast member Paolo Aviles pulled off the first twist and it was at CBS' expense. As one of the original house guests, he had second thoughts about his role in the game, and backed out at the last minute.
The 13 remaining cast members are oil rig salesman Lane Elenburg, 24, podiatrist Andrew Gordon, 39, deputy sheriff Kathy Hillis, 40, college student Hayden Moss, 24, grad student/waitress Rachel Reilly, 26, high school swim coach Brendon Villegas, 30, shoe store manager Kristen Bitting, 24, college professor Ragan Fox, 34, hotel sales manager Britney Haynes, 22, web designer Matt Hoffman, 32, insurance adjuster Enzo Palumbo, 32, model Monet Stunson, 24, and bartender Annie Whittington, 27.
The savvy cast mates will be keeping some secrets to themselves this season, in an effort to outsmart their opponents. Kathy Hillis has criminal profiling on her resume, which may help her nab the liars, and maybe even the mole. Professor Ragan Fox plans to hide the fact that he has a Ph.D. in communications, while Andrew Gordon, the second oldest player in the house, plans to portray himself as a younger man.
Matt Hoffman is a MENSA member, Monet Stunson is the requisite diva, and Annie Whittington plans to hide the fact that she is involved romantically with another woman.

They certainly have some beautiful people for the cast.
Honestly, I didn't know this show was still even on the air. I don't think I've watched since maybe the 3rd or 4th go round. Sounds interesting.
Looks like another fun season!
What a guilty pleasure!
going to pass this article on to my sister, she's a big brother nut. :)
