Just announced - CBS will be revealing the 20 candidates for Big Brother 7 on Wednesday, June 21st.   A portion of the announcement follows……

“…viewers will vote on which former HouseGuests will compete……… On CBS Wednesday, June 21 at 8PM ET/PT, Julie Chen will unveil the top 20 candidates from seasons past. Web voting opens ….. after the show at midnight ET/9PM PT. The polls close Wednesday, June 28 at 11:59PM ET/8:59PM PT.”

“All 20 candidates will be present when Julie Chen announces the ALL-STARS HouseGuests on the season premiere, Thursday, July 6 at 8PM ET/PT. “

So there ya go… in just over a month we will find out who we get to choose from in a “Web Vote”  - be prepared to stuff the ballot because I can’t see CBS coming up with a way to prevent people from voting more than once unless they require you to enter a new email addy each time - and even that method is not too tough to get around to the right person.

I am surprised they didn’t use a phone vote - I guess their pockets aren’t as deep as Fox’s or else they just couldn’t justify it.

No matter how things turn out we should have a pretty good idea who will be going in the house when the show begins on July 6th (actually it will probably start a few days early so they can get some footage for the first episode.)

Names being tossed around as possibilities include several members from last season (Kaysar, Janelle, Howie), previous winners (Will Kirby from season two and Eddie from Season one) and many of the other folks you may recall.

I’ll be covering Big Brother as I have the last four years on this site as well as helping out with the Big Brother area on TvClubhouse as I have for every season of Big Brother.  Be sure to tune in!!!!.
