Big Brother, the American version of the worldwide television show, features contestants (called HouseGuests) that compete against each other to be the last Big Brother house resident and win $500,000.[1] The series first aired in 2000, and thirteen seasons have been completed as of September 2011. Season 14 is scheduled to premiere in summer 2012.[2]

Big Brother contestants are chosen by the show's producers through an application process that includes a videotape submission, semi-final interviews at select cities, and a final interview in Los Angeles.[3] A total of 163 participants have competed, and 23 of them have competed in multiple seasons; Big Brother 7: All-Stars aired with a cast of past competitors. Of the 20 former contestants hoping to play the game during Season 7, 8 were selected by American viewers, while the show's producers picked another 6.[4] Jessie Godderz of Season 10 returned to participate in Season 11. Season 13 featured three "Dynamic Duos" from previous seasons: Brendon Villegas and Rachel Reilly (Big Brother 12), Dick and Daniele Donato (Big Brother 8), and Jeff Schroder and Jordan Lloyd (Big Brother 11). Four returning houseguests returned in Season 14 to play their own game. Janelle Pierzina ("Big Brother 6" and "Big Brother: All Stars"), Mike "Boogie" Malin ("Big Brother 2" and "Big Brother: All Stars"), Dan Gheesling ("Big Brother 10") and Britney Haynes ("Big Brother 12") ) The youngest HouseGuest was Michelle Maradie of Season 4, who entered the house at age 19. The oldest HouseGuest was Jerry MacDonald of Season 10, who entered the house at age 75.

There have been four instances in which a HouseGuest was evicted from the house, but was brought back onto the show as a plot twist: Amy Crews during Season 3, Kaysar Ridha during Season 6, James Zinkand during Season 9, and Brendon Villegas during season 13. Sharon Obermueller was also returned to the house during Season 9, but as a replacement for Neil Garcia. Justin Sebik was expelled from the house on Day 10 of Season 2 after threatening fellow HouseGuests and holding a knife to the throat of Krista Stegall following a night of heavy drinking. Similarly, Scott Weintraub was expelled on Day 8 of Season 4 after he had a violent outburst in the house and the other HouseGuests refused to accept his apology. Neil Garcia of Season 9 voluntarily left the house on Day 7 due to an "urgent personal matter";[5] this marked the first time a HouseGuest of the American version of Big Brother left the show voluntarily. Chima Simone of Season 11 became the third HouseGuest to be expelled from the show for "violating the rules" set by Big Brother producers.[6] The second person to leave the house voluntarily was returning houseguest "Evel" Dick Donato, who was the winner of season 8. He and his daughter returned to the game in Season 13 and on Day 6, left the game for undisclosed reasons.
