Big Brother's fifteen season will feature sixteen houseguests when it premieres Wednesday, June 26 at 8PM ET/PT on CBS.  Like prior Big Brother seasons, the fifteenth season will award a $500,000 cash prize to the competition's winner.

While the cast does not include any former Big Brother houseguests, it does include the sister of thirteenth-season Big Brother winner Rachel Reilly.

Earlier this week, CBS announced Big Brother's fifteenth season will feature two new twists that will impact the houseguests' strategic game, as three houseguests -- not two, as in prior seasons -- will be nominated for eviction each week, and the season will also allow viewers to vote for a weekly "Big Brother MVP" houseguest who will have still-undisclosed powers in the competition.

The process in which the three houseguests will be nominated each week and the powers the MVP will have over the house will both be revealed during next week's premiere episode. Voting for the season's first "Big Brother MVP" is now available via cbs.com.
