The cast of Big Brother Season 19 has finally been revealed, and there’s a lot to unpack in so little time.

We have a week until the premiere of the new season of Big Brother, and we’re only now learning who the housemates will be. To say this season might be the best yet is always going to be hyperbole, but a quick glimpse at the cast seems to suggest things will no doubt get interesting.

The big reason for that is the age gap. This year there will be six contestants above the age of 30, and only four under the age of 25.

Here’s a very brief and not at all exhaustive look at the cast for this season:

  • Christmas Abbott, 35
  • Matthew Clines, 33
  • Dominique Cooper, 30
  • Elena Davies, 26
  • Jason Dent, 37
  • Jessica Graf, 26
  • Cameron Heard, 24
  • Mark Jansen, 26
  • Megan Lowder, 28
  • Josh Martinez, 23
  • Cody Nickson, 32
  • Alex Ow, 28
  • Kevin Schlehuber, 55
  • Jillian Parker, 24
  • Ramses Soto, 21
  • Raven Walton, 23

That’s not a typo, there’s a guy in the cast who is pushing 60 years old. That ought to make for some interesting moments, but don’t assume he’ll be the first one eliminated. It’s a huge cast of wild cards and also let’s not be ageist here.

The biggest wild card in the cast could end up being Christmas. In addition to having a name like a James Bond character, Christmas is a fitness enthusiast who could use her interpersonal skills to good use as well as benefiting from having a physical edge over mostly all of the cast.

You can get the full details on the cast here.

Big Brother premiere next week on CBS.
