Big Brother 9 Premiere – Sneak Peak at the New Season!

So here's the scoop on the new show:

There are 16 houseguests playing for the $500,000 this year - but there's a catch.  

You see, before the houseguests entered the BB home, each player took a love test to find the characteristics and qualities of their ideal soul mate.

Each player in the house will be paired up with someone who matches the results of their test, ultimately playing the game alongside a complete stranger.  

The couples will be nominated together, participate in the competitions together and, eventually, be evicted together.

From a bikini barista and a former playboy model to a paparazzo and a homeless man biking around the world, there's no shortage of uniqueness this season.

And Big Brother host Julie Chen promises lots of drama!

The new season of Big Brother kicks off tonight at 9 EST on CBS - check your local listings for times in your area.
