Earlier, CBS announced that this season will feature a "masked visitor, a secret accomplice and the shocking arrival of a "Mystery Houseguest” whose identity will remain under wraps … at least for now” in addition to the 16 houseguests. However, the guests who have caught the most attention among Big Brother fans are Morgan Pope and Keanu Soto.

Morgan Pope

A model and gamer from Los Angeles, one of the 16 contestants on this season of Big Brother, Morgan Pope, described herself as “bubbly” and funny in a video package shared with NJ.com. Pope is a former division one track athlete and plans on hiding her gamer side from fellow houseguests by presenting herself solely as a model.

"I can't wait to turn this house upside down," said Pope, as reported by USA Today. "Make sure you guys are ready. Bring your teacups. I'm going to bring the hot and steaming tea, serve it up."
