CBS announced today the 16 all-new Houseguests who will embark on the milestone 20th season of BIG BROTHER. This season’s cast includes a flight attendant, a former undercover cop, a cyber security engineer and a Vegas entertainer, among others. CBS’ summer reality hit debuts with a two-night premiere event, Wednesday, June 27 (8:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) and Thursday, June 28 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT), on the CBS Television Network. Julie Chen returns as the host of the series.

 

The following 16 new Houseguests will spend the summer competing for $500,000:

 

Steve Arienta (pronounced Ar-ee-in-tah) (40)

Hometown: Parsippany, N.J.

Current City: Wanaque, N.J.

Occupation: Former Undercover Cop

Three adjectives that describe you:  Stubborn, competitive and funny.

Favorite Activities: Motorcycle riding, fishing and playing golf.

What do you think will be the most difficult part about living inside the Big Brother house? Missing my family and missing work.

 

Which past Big Brother cast member did you like most? I don’t know all of them, but it would be Mike “Boogey.”  He made me laugh and was a strategist.

 

Do you have a strategy for winning the game?  Honestly, no.  I believe that anyone that goes into the game with a set strategy is set for failure.  Too many twists and turns.  It’s hard to create one without knowing the players involved.

 

My life’s motto is… Rock on.

 

What would you take into the house and why?

* A family picture to see my family.

* My wedding ring to think about my wife.

* A cellphone to call my family.

 

Fun facts about yourself: 

* Ran for office for Passaic County Freeholder.

* I MUST take baths at night.

* I was called THE HAMMER in college.

* I was my state wrestling champion in high school and also earned a football scholarship to Northwestern University.

* After college, I put my muscle to use in the NYPD and became a lead in their OCID (Organized crime investigation division).

 

 Sam Bledsoe (27)

Hometown: Stuarts Draft, Va.

Current City: Stuarts Draft, Va.

Occupation: Welder

 

Three adjectives that describe you:  Multifaceted, charming and charismatic.

 

Favorite Activities: Making, building, creating things, fishing, swimming, kayaking and dancing.

 

What do you think will be the most difficult part about living inside the Big Brother house? Using the bathroom.

 

Which past Big Brother cast member did you like most? Daniele Donato.  She’s a smart girl who happens to be pretty. Not a pretty girl who happens to be smart.

 

Do you have a strategy for winning the game?  I think I am starting off with many natural advantages. My personality is perfectly suited for this social experiment. My strategy is to draw on my experience working in small town restaurants. I will come in and genuinely be myself, and just lay low until I have an exact reading on everyone. I am extremely perceptive and intuitive, a master of the “mirror” technique. I create a connection and genuine sense of security.  As a hairdresser and bartender, I am an excellent listener, people just want to tell me everything for some reason, and I have a steel-trap memory. I don’t forget. I will “lay low” at first and just have fun! As far as the competitions, I will do what I can to throw them but I want first HOH.  I am a natural leader and I want to establish myself as such and from there, influence the other houseguests by means of gentle persuasion and manipulation.  Another terrible talent of mine. I will more than likely find several alliances but pick just one to take with me and I will inevitably have to abuse them in some way to hide our bond from others.
