‘Big Brother 11′ Contestants Revealed!

The ‘Big Brother 11‘ contestants have been revealed and it’s an awesome bunch!

The 11th season kicks off Thursday, July 9 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on CBS, but the houseguests have already been sequestered and taken over to their new home in the middle of the CBS lot.

This season, the cast will head back to high school as they are divided into populars, athletes, brainiacs and off-beats (which I presume has something to do with mowhawks and piercings). As I indicated from my own 13-hour adventures at the Big Brother 11 house, the house will also be “eco-friendly.”Also, a 13th guest will be introduced into the house, as their “mystery” guest. Will it be a new contestant? One voted in by the public? Or will they bring in a cast member from a previous season? You’ll have to keep watching to find out!

Get the scoop on all the contestants after the jump! And when the season kicks off, make sure to check back on Fancast to get full episodes and clips.
