Ready to meet the cast of Big Brother season 24? Then keep reading to learn all about our 16 houseguests!

Big Brother season 24 cast

Before we dive into who’s who, we ought to let you know that, just like last season, one houseguest was replaced at the very last minute. Initially, Marvin Achi, 28, was set to be a competitor, however, he was eventually replaced by newcomer Joseph Abdin for unknown reasons (although, fans speculate it may be because of complicated contractual issues).

Don’t you worry! A cast shakeup isn’t enough to stand in the way of all the summertime fun coming your way because, by the looks of it, Abdin seems to be a good time, too. The 24-year-old Lake Worth, Florida native is already gaining the attention of fans all because of his lawyer profession. Perhaps his debate skills will come in handy when he has to campaign his way off the block. Only time will tell!

• Paloma Aguilar – Age: 22 | San Marcos, California | Interior designer
