Big Brother 28 cast reveal ('broveal') airs today

tvJul 7, 20261473,035

CBS producers aired the Big Brother 28 cast reveal today, with Entertainment Weekly reporting Survivor castaway Rick Devens and Survivor winner Dee Valladares among the announced houseguests. The official cast list released during the broveal includes named newbies such as Ashley Trail, Barrett (nicknamed Bloomf), Jason aka Salina, Chuk, Drew, Haley, Kamu, La Trice, Lyric, Mallory, Melody, Rome aka Jack, Taylor, and Yash, with several placeholder spots still open. The show's press release says "Additional surprise Houseguests will be revealed on air" for the premiere, and fans noted producers revealed some vets separately after the initial newbie drop, calling the rollout staggered and confusing. Early viewer takes posted today flagged a challenge-coded, Love Island-leaning vibe and praised the strength of the women in the cast, while others pointed out a few politically charged or stunt-style profiles among the biographies. Social conversation around the broveal is active, with supporters celebrating specific returnees and others bracing for how the mixed roster will interact when feeds begin.

Rick will be hilarious on Big Brother. This is positive, IMO. Dee? Meh. Takes herself too seriously. I want a fun summer, and that's Rick. #BB28 #bbsky

I hate big brother cast release day because what do you mean I have to dedicate my entire summer to watching these people I don’t even know eat cereal and whisper. 😭 #BBsky #BB28

I can’t do the munching and chomping so y’all will have to let me know if anything fun happens while they’re eating 😭 Always sat for some whispering, ESPECIALLY a cam talker

Having to learn all their names and voices is such a huge under taking. I’d rather learn French.

but before we get to BB28, can we get a closing statement on you about your client Vince and his latest youtube with Kelsey?

Me, a snob, telling people they aren’t actually watching bb unless they follow the live feeds and they give it a shot and it’s just people laying under various blankets #bb28

Last season we had no idea what a season here would be like. This season we are established and know it works. I think we will have a good season here even if the BB season is awful 💙❤️

Thank goodness it’s not too active like BBTwitter is. That’s why I like this app. Smaller user base.

@jennyautumn.bsky.social

*whispers* sorry y’all, i like rick devens. i hope he has a lot of fun and his joyful attitude only makes #bb28 better. also, dee is good at everything she touches and would easily win a bb season if she was sight unseen. coming in with a fellow #survivor cast mate is an interesting spot.
