“Big Brother 11” will make high-school socializing look complicated when the new season begins (8 p.m. EDT Thursday on CBS).
“You may have graduated, but the truth is, we never leave high school and this summer we are going to prove it,” says executive producer Allison Grodner.
“From the brains to the jocks to the off-beat, everyone will be able to identify to one of these cliques, giving the viewers a group to root for and against from the very beginning. The division will cause instant drama.”
Twelve strangers will move into the Big Brother house and learn that they will be subjected to the same social tortures of high school in order to win the game and earn cash, food and other prizes. They’ll be aligned to four of the most common social orders of high-school: popular, athletes, brainiacs and off-beats.
They also will discover that a mystery 13th houseguest is joining in — and giving an advantage to one of the cliques.
These are the 12 houseguests:
Braden Bacha, 28, Santa Monica, Calif., single, surfer.
Casey Turner, 41, Lakeland, Fla., married/dad, fifth-grade teacher.
Chima Simone, 32, West Hollywood, Calif., single, free-lance journalist.
Jeff Schroeder, 30, Norridge, Ill., single, advertising salesman.
Jordan Lloyd, 22, Matthews, N.C., single, waitress.
Kevin Campbell, 29, Chula Vista, Calif., single, graphic designer.
Laura Crosby, 21, Atlanta, single, model.
Lydia Tavera, 24, Torrance, Calif., single, special-effects makeup artist.
Michele Noonan, 27, Pasadena, Calif., married, neuroscientist.
Natalie Martinez, 24, Gilbert, Ariz., single, tae kwon do champion.
Ronnie Talbott, 30, Belpre, Ohio, married, gamer.
Russell Kairouz, 24, Walnut Creek, Calif., mixed-martial-arts fighter.
The houseguests will live and compete in a house that has been transformed into a mean, green, eco-friendly living machine. The interior walls of the house are covered with a reconstituted wood panel product made from reclaimed wood flakes.
For the first time ever, the houseguests will be made fully aware of the amount of waste they create, and will be required to sort, recycle and place all food items in an outdoor manual compost center, as well as an indoor automatic composter.
