Big Brother 27 is set to premiere on July 10, 2025, with a fresh cast of houseguests, including Lauren Domingue and Kelley Jorgensen. Both bring unique personalities and strategies to the game, promising an exciting season.
Lauren Domingue: The Southern Belle Superfan
Lauren Domingue, a 22-year-old bridal consultant from Lafayette, Louisiana, describes herself as a “super sweet Southern belle” who won’t hesitate to “crush people in competitions” if needed. She is a longtime fan of the show, having watched it with her family since childhood.
“I don’t think Big Brother has seen somebody who is a super sweet Southern Belle but at the same time is willing to crush people in competitions if she needs to, and a superfan as well!”
Her strategy involves laying low early, observing other players, and forming strong social bonds before making big moves. She believes her competitive nature and social skills will help her go far. However, she admits her empathy and inability to lie well could be weaknesses.
Kelley Jorgensen: The Adventurous Farm Kid
Kelley Jorgensen, a 29-year-old web designer from Burbank, South Dakota, brings a free-spirited, adaptable personality to the game. She has traveled solo to 42 countries and all 50 U.S. states, making her comfortable with communal living.
“I’m a farm kid and I have farm kid grit. There’s no such thing as ‘I’m tired of this task’—we finish it. That’s what I’m gonna do in this house.”
Unlike Lauren, Kelley has only watched a few seasons of the show. She plans to avoid early targets by downplaying her experience and relying on her social skills and spontaneity. Her biggest challenge? Competitions, as she admits she’s not naturally competitive and is clumsy.
Big Brother 27’s Exciting Twists
This season, Big Brother: A Summer Mystery, introduces several surprises:
- A masked visitor and a secret accomplice will shake up the game.
- A “Mystery Houseguest” will join the cast, with their identity hidden at first.
- A new segment, Big Brother: Unlocked, will feature past houseguests analyzing gameplay.
The house design, Hotel Mystere, includes a Victorian conservatory lounge and a chess-themed living room, adding a fresh visual twist.
How Fans Are Reacting
Many fans are excited about the diverse cast, especially after complaints about too many influencers in past seasons. Lauren’s superfan status and Kelley’s adventurous background have already sparked discussions online.
“Lauren seems like a dark horse—sweet but fierce. Could be a winner!” – Fan comment on Twitter.
“Kelley’s travel stories are insane. Hope she lasts long!” – Reddit user.
Final Details
The 90-minute premiere airs July 10 at 8 PM ET on CBS, with live feeds starting July 13 on Paramount+.
