Big Brother<\/em><\/a> fans can certainly expect the unexpected because a new contestant entered the game during the season 25 premiere.<\/p>\n \u201cSurprise, guess who\u2019s back? It is me, Cirie, from Survivor<\/em><\/a> seasons 12, 16, 20 and 34,\u201d Cirie Fields<\/strong> <\/a>revealed in a Wednesday, August 2, clip posted to the<\/a> official Big Brother<\/em> Twitter page. \u201cIf you don\u2019t know me, you\u2019re about to get to know me on Big Brother<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n Big Brother<\/em> captioned the post: Surprise\u2026 The #BB25<\/span> Multiverse releases another twist\u2026A 17th houseguest \u2026 #BBCirie<\/span> from\u00a0<\/span>@survivorcbs!\u201d<\/p>\n Hours before the premiere and live move-in<\/a> on Wednesday, the reality show\u00a0hinted that a 17th player would be entering the game days after confirming there would be 16 participants this season.<\/p>\n \u201c\ud83d\udea8 BREAKING NEWS \ud83d\udea8 The #BB25 multiverse will release a mystery 17th HG,\u201d the reality series\u2019 official Twitter<\/a> page teased. \u201cWhat\u2019s your guess for who it is? \ud83d\udc40.\u201d<\/p>\n Fans flocked to the comments section to share their guesses on the identity of the mysterious houseguest. One popular name mentioned was 53-year Cirie.\u00a0When the cast was officially announced on Monday, July 31, it was revealed that Cirie\u2019s son Jared was one of the 16 houseguests<\/a>. Before entering the house, Jared, 25, told fans via an Instagram Reel<\/a> on the show\u2019s official page that his mom was a \u201cSurvivor legend.\u201d<\/p>\n Cirie competed on the competition series four times<\/a> including 2006\u2019s Panama<\/em>, 2008\u2019s Micronesia<\/em>, 2010\u2019s Heroes Vs. Villains<\/em> and 2017\u2019s Game Changers<\/em>. Jared briefly appeared on the Game Changers<\/em> season as his mom\u2019s loved one.<\/p>\n Despite never winning Survivor, Cirie has been deemed one of the greatest players to have never taken home the million-dollar prize. Earlier this year, Cirie was crowned the champion<\/a> of another show \u2014 the first season of Peacock\u2019s The Traitors<\/em>. Following her win, Cirie exclusively told Us Weekly<\/em> about how she is a fan of Big Brother<\/em> and had dreamed of competing on the series.<\/p>\n \u201cI would love to go on Big Brother<\/em>! I think if I would\u2019ve done Big Brother<\/em> first \u2014 when I say that to the Survivor<\/em> people, they say, \u2018No, you\u2019re supposed to come on Survivor<\/em>,\u201d she told Us<\/em> in January. \u201cI feel like if I\u2019d have went on Big Brother<\/em> first, hands down I would\u2019ve won.\u201d<\/p>\n Another potential guess made by fans was that fan-favorite Britney Haynes<\/strong> could be returning to the game. Prior to the cast\u2019s unveiling, Britney, 35, Frankie Grande<\/strong><\/a> and Danielle Reyes<\/strong> broke into the house<\/a> with a time laser to try to fix their mistakes from their previous games. However, the alums\u2019 plan didn\u2019t pan out like they expected and seemingly unleashed a new twist<\/a> into the house.<\/p>\n While Big Brother<\/em> fans were excited by the idea of Britney\u2019s return, she took to Twitter<\/a> on Wednesday to debunk theories that she was entering the game. She shared a picture of herself holding a piece of paper with Wednesday\u2019s date edited on it from when she competed on the Amazing Race<\/em><\/a> alongside fellow Big Brother<\/em> alum Janelle Pierzina<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cTo dispel the rumors, I am obliging to the request of a picture of me holding today\u2019s newspaper,\u201d she teased while poking fun at Janelle who famously told fans she was going to Greece before she sequestered before appearing on Big Brother 14<\/em>. \u201cThis is just how they look in Greece.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
