This year, Big Brother is presenting the “summer of Double Trouble” by welcoming eight new houseguests and bringing back some of the most notorious ‘duos’ from past seasons. The eight new players have been announced, but the identities of the duos will not be revealed until the Big Brother 13 premier with host Julie Chen on Thursday, July 7.

Below are the eight NEW Houseguests who will spend the summer playing alongside the “Duos” in the new season of Big Brother 13:

This season, the houseguests will enjoy a Venice Beach loft-inspired house, featuring an urban design that brings the outside décor in and the inside décor out, according to CBS.

Once again, several unlucky Houseguests will be banished to the “Have/Have Not Room” each week, where luxury and comfort are non-existent.

Following the premiere on Thursday, July 7 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT), Big Brother 13 will be broadcast three nights weekly, beginning Sunday, July 10 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT), Wednesday, July 13 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) and the LIVE eviction show, hosted by Julie Chen, beginning Thursday, July 14 (9:00-10:00 PM, live ET/delayed PT).

At the end of the season, the last remaining House Guest will receive the grand prize of $500,000. 

Big Brother is executive produced by Emmy Award-winning producer Allison Grodner and Rich Meehan for Fly on the Wall Entertainment, in association with Endemol U.S.A.

Ragan and Britney on BIG BROTHER 12 (CBS)

On Big Brother last night, we saw the end of the Head of Household competition. When we left the Houseguests in the previous episode, they were struggling to untangle themselves from a giant spider web of rope. The contest wasn’t finished by the end of the live show and left fans waiting to know who would end up the winner.

For those who didn’t watch the rest of the competition on the Big Brother Live Feeds, it wasn’t long before it was obvious who was probably going to take the competition. Brendon got the upper hand and pretty much kept it. Half the other Houseguests didn’t even really seem to be trying. If you’ve been watching the Live Feeds, you already know why – especially in the case of Enzo and Hayden.

Brendon finally won the Head of Household competition hands down. He also received the right to name the three Have-Nots for the week and chose Britney, Ragan and Matt. Ragan and Britney both pretty much ended up in tears over this during the next few hours.

At the Nomination Ceremony later on the show, Brendon put up Ragan and Lane for elimination. Ragan is the Saboteur, so if he goes home, he’ll lose out on that $20,000 he’s been trying to earn by pranking the other Houseguests.

Matt has the Diamond Power of Veto, of course, so he could choose to shake things up – especially with fellow Brigade alliance member Lane on the block.

Then again, you just never know what kind of insanity is going to happen in the Big Brother house! If you’d like more details on last night’s episode, plus BIG spoilers about what has happened since, visit our friends over at BigBrotherAccess.com for more!

At the end of the last episode, Big Brother 12 fans were left wondering who would end up winning the Head of Household competition. The Houseguests were tasked with holding on to the side of a giant, spinning paint can while being blasted with a slippery paint-like substance and whacked with a giant paintbrush.

We thought it might be one of those truly epic endurance contests from Big Brother shows past, with the Houseguests hanging on for hours and hours. Unfortunately, this season’s Houseguests are pretty much wimps all around.

Big Brother 12 Houseguests compete

One by one, the Houseguests took a dive, leaving only Ragan and Matt to battle it out. In the end, Ragan copped out once again, giving the competition to Matt just like he did in the last endurance contest.

So Matt is Head of Household once more, but this week that position in the house involves a lot more power than ever. Matt was given the opportunity to open Pandora’s Box – which, of course he did. Opening the box gave Matt a huge prize, a Diamond Power of Veto. He can use it any time in the next two elimination rounds to save someone from the block and replace them with someone else.

Opening Pandora’s Box, however, also unleashed a new Saboteur in the Big Brother house. Fans voted to offer the new Saboteur position to Ragan, which he nervously accepted for the chance to win $20,000 if he makes it through the next two evictions.

With Matt as the new HOH, it is virtually certain who he will choose for elimination and he doesn’t pull out any surprises during the Nomination Ceremony. Brendon and Rachel are up on the block together and only a miracle is going to save them this time.

We’re pretty sure most people want Rachel out more than Brendon, but Brendon swears he’d rather have Rachel stay in the house than get the prize at the end of the game himself. We think he is nuts. We’ll have to wait until the Power of Veto ceremony to see if either of them get saved, but we’re betting it isn’t going to happen. [SPOILER: Check out who won the POV contest here.]
