As we eagerly anticipate the official release of the Big Brother 27 cast of new houseguests along with their bios we’re now getting a sneak peek at five of them in a promotional commercial. Take a look at the new promo video below showing some of the cast. These new houseguests are being reported online to be a former professional baseball player Zach Cornell, lawyer Ashley Hollis, student Isaiah Frederich, PR major Katherine Woodman, and former baseball player Vince Panaro. Hopefully with the release of this video, we’ll soon be getting the full cast list, bios and interviews ahead of the premiere on Thursday, July 10th.
Ashley Hollis (29) – Attorney, Utica, NY
Smart, composed, and no stranger to pressure, Ashley steps into the Big Brother house ready to argue her case and win over the jury. As a litigation attorney from Utica, she’s used to navigating conflict with poise and precision. Ashley thrives on strategy, loves a good debate, and isn’t afraid to outwit her competition — all while keeping a flawless poker face.
Isaiah Frederich (25) – Law Student, Kentucky
Don’t let Isaiah’s age fool you — this Kentucky law student is sharp, observant, and ready to cross-examine the houseguests one by one. Known for being calm under pressure, Isaiah brings a quiet intensity to the game, preferring logic over chaos. But make no mistake — he’s here to play hard, not just study the game.
Katherine Woodman (22) – Medical Student, Virginia
With a scalpel-sharp mind and the stamina of a future doctor, Katherine enters the Big Brother house as one of the youngest players, but she’s not here to be underestimated. Juggling med school and a competitive nature, she’s mastered patience and precision — and plans to dissect the game from day one with grace and grit.
Vince Panaro (34) – Welder, Denver, CO
Tough on the outside and chill on the inside, Vince is a blue-collar powerhouse with street smarts and an independent streak. Raised on hard work and loyalty, this Denver welder brings raw strength and a no-nonsense attitude. But under that rugged exterior is a big personality with a sense of humor — and maybe a hidden strategic side too.
Zach Cornell (27) – Marketing Professional, Atlanta, GA
Slick, social, and always one step ahead, Zach knows how to sell an idea — or an alliance. As a marketing pro from Atlanta, he thrives on reading people and crafting the perfect pitch. His charm is casual, his strategy deliberate, and his goal is simple: build the brand, win the game, and leave the house with no regrets (and no enemies).

hi.
not sure if i’m around this season or not. Life lifing more than usual.
thought:
so if i have the correct dates the move in is tomorrow (tuesday), the first episode is on Thursday, and feeds start sunday / monday depending on timezone?
If that is indeed the case the viewership is getting boned.
Why do I say this?
A) without week one feeds season 21 would anyone have known pre-season fan golden child Aquaman lookalike was actually an Aquadouche? Would anyone have known the eventual winner was coldturkey detox withdrawing from whatever crap he was taking? would anyone have known the cast was so toxic and flippant in their use of slurs that prodo actually had to have a meeting after a comp feed block for production notes to determine strategies and safe words to stop slurs?
B) without week one feeds the fandom would not know about Frenchie’s first week HOH… and what a tremendous natural disaster of a trainwreck inside a dumpsterfire THAT was.
Would anyone know that i) the brigade alliance strategy premise was at work with the cookout OR ii) that within the alliance there was a hierarchy that saw mixed race members considered not full members until about week 4?
C) THE PALOMA MELTDOWN WOULD BE UNKNOWN.
Further, NOBODY would give a shit about Taylor… because NOBODY would know the extent of the bullcrap that occurred in week one. THE EPISODES sugar coated it until it became STORYLINE week three.
D) the split dichotomy of the alliancing in week one would be unknown in season 25 because the episodes didn’t include ANY of it. Neither did they include the (how do i say this….. not looking to pick fights) Really screwed up Manson family dynamic that started brewing second night of feeds. Nor would anyone know the bkgrd of Luke’s ouster. Without feeds it could very well have been covered up in similar fashion to how they covered up Jared’s similar verbal spasm of dipshit.
F) Remember Angela’s week one HOH? The feed cuts, then on feed comments that outlined multiple arguments and inflammatory verbal exchanges. Nobody would KNOW that the winner of season 26 Chelsie was the winner of season 26 by comparing week one feeds to week one edit of the program. Nobody would see the beginning of the pattern where Angela gets called to d/r, comes out and descends into madness for hours before having an out of place targeted Meltdown. The Matt debacle. The Lisa debacle. The bathroom debacle with Quinn and T’kor. Yes, the meat of most of this was part of the hours and hours of feedcuts… but we had the lead up of each and the retells.
Yeah… feed watchers are not even getting dinner first, they’re just being driven out to an old dirt road and being told to put out or get out.
Enjoy Grod’s fairytale version… it’s all you’re going to know about week one and the actual storyline and alliancing. Most week one alliance charts look like 20-30 overlapping groups. The edit will show you 2 max 1 headlined and one suggested.
Week one SETS THE TONE. Everyone is about to be tone deaf.
I predict Vince to be a big personality in the house.
