CBS’s long-running reality competition show Big Brother is known for its twists and surprises, and the Season 25 premiere did not disappoint. In a shocking twist, the show announced that four-time Survivor contestant Cirie Fields would be joining the cast as a 17th houseguest.
Fields is a reality TV legend, having appeared on four seasons of Survivor and making it to the final four twice. She is widely considered to be one of the best players to never win the game, and her addition to the Big Brother cast is sure to shake things up.
Fields’s arrival on Big Brother was met with mixed reactions from the other houseguests. Some were excited to have such a skilled player in the game, while others were wary of her experience and strategic prowess.
“I’m so excited to be here,” Fields said in a statement. “I’ve been a fan of Big Brother for a long time, and I’m ready to play the game and win.”
Fields’s addition to the cast is sure to make Season 25 one of the most exciting yet. With her experience and strategic skills, she is a major threat to win the game. However, she will also have to contend with the other houseguests, who are all determined to take home the $750,000 prize.
And “Big Brother” always keeps contestants on their toes with twists and turns, but this one is particularly intriguing since Fields’ son Jared Fields, 25, was already announced as a contestant this season.
The exterminator from Norwalk, Connecticut, even asked his mom for some pointers before heading into the “Big Brother” house, and their video call was briefly featured at the beginning of the premiere episode. However, he didn’t act like he recognized her when she showed up unexpectedly at the end of the episode.
In addition to Fields, the Season 25 cast also includes a diverse group of contestants from all walks of life. There are lawyers, doctors, stay-at-home moms, and even a former NFL player. The cast is also evenly split between men and women, and there is a good mix of ages and ethnicities.
Fields and her son join a whole new crew of “Big Brother” contestants; Felicia Cannon, the first female over 60 to play, Jag Bains, the first Sikh competitor; and Matt Klotz, the first deaf contestant.
