Big Brother 22: Early Cast Predictions

Due to the current pandemic, there is not a lot of new TV on the horizon. Fans of the long-running reality series Big Brother were worried that there may not be a summer season when it didn't premiere a few weeks ago, like it usually had in prior seasons. Fear not, TMZ reported yesterday that several past cast members have returned to LA this week for an All-Star Season.

The returning houseguests are supposedly sitting in quarantine awaiting the results of their COVID-19 testing. The entire process will take about two weeks, which means we could see the first episode of Big Brother 22 be in early August. If anyone of the contestants test positive for the virus, CBS does have a few alternates sequestered to fill in if needed.

Several sources have provided the following 18 as possible contestants for the all-star season:

Janelle Pierzina - 3 time houseguest starting with season 6

Nicole Franzel - winner of season 18

Josh Martinez - winner of season 19

Danielle Donato - runner-up season 8

Paulie Calafiore - season 18 contestant

Ian Terry - season 14 winner

Hayden Moss - winner of season 12

Bayleigh Dayton - season 20 contestant

Tyler Crispen - runner-up season 20

Derrick Levasseur - winner of season 16

Paul Abrahamian - two time runner-up

Kaycee Clark - winner of season 20

Danielle Reyes - runner-up season 3

Amber Borzotra - season 16 contestant

Da'Vonne Rogers - two time contestant

Christmas Abbott - season 19 contestant

Kaysar Ridha - two time conestant

Enzo Palumbo - season 12 contestant

With 18 possible contestants listed above, this means that some of these individuals could be one of the alternates mentioned earlier. Most of the cast list looks promising, but several of these contestants are hardly all-stars (Bayleigh, Da'Vonne, Amber, Kaysar) since they did not even place in the top three in the seasons they played. Da'Vonne and Kaysar played twice and still didn't make it to final three.
