The contestants of CBS’s 17th season of Big Brother were announced this week, and rounding out the cast — which includes a professional wrestler, a personal trainer, and a poker dealer — is Audrey Middleton, an attractive 25-year-old digital media consultant who used to be a boy named Adam. (Curiously, CBS chose not to take advantage of America’s so-called “transgender moment” and left this fact out of the official announcement.)
Middleton admits to a nerdy obsession with astrology, hiking and dressing up: “Fabulous hair, lashes, makeup, I’m the Beyoncé of my life story. As I should be, right?” She also hates spiders and compares herself favorably to Dexter Morgan. So there you go.
CBS promised Julie Chen will be returning as host, and claims the new season comes with a shocking twist that will “shake up the house all summer long.” Could the twist be that nobody’s watching Big Brother anymore?

Not a single cast member over 33. Time to move to MTV.

> who used to be a boy named Adam
Dear Queerty, unless you want the trans police going ballistic against you, you may want to change that to “assigned male at birth”.

Actually, Big Brother consistently won it’s time slot and key demographic during it’s three broadcasts a week last summer along with the 15 other summers it’s aired (excluding the winter season, Big Brother 9).
Before making grand statements that no one watches the show anymore, you need to do some research and read the facts.
Kay, thanks, bye.
