There was a glaring omission from the cast:
Returning players.
Many rumors seemed to suggest that a bunch of past houseguests were returning for another shot at the money.
For now, CBS is keeping quiet about that, and it could well mean that a twist will be unleashed early into the game.
Either that, or the entire season will consist of newbies.
Have a look below.
Big Brother Season 21 debuts Tuesday, June 25 at 8/7c.
