Ever since CBS made the announcement, 'Big Brother' fans have wondered which former HouseGuests will be vying for the opportunity to compete in the all-stars edition. In June, they will wonder no more.

CBS has revealed that a special 'Big Brother All-Stars' casting episode will air on June 21st. On 'Big Brother All-Stars: America's Choice', host Julie Chen will unveil the 20 candidates who have agreed to return to the series.

Viewers will then have the chance to vote which of them should compete this season and be able to pick half of the houseguests who will enter house and play the game again.

After the special casting episode airs, viewers can cast their votes at CBS.com. The polls will close on Wednesday, June 28 at 11:59 PM ET/8:59 PM PT.

Each potential "All Star" introduced on the casting episode will have their own profile on the official site which will include a personal plea from them to fans.

CBS says candidates will be able to campaign for themselves and "will be encouraged to use any reasonable means they can to state their case".


During the premiere slated for July 6th, all 20 finalists will be present and awaiting the news of who will play the game. Host Julie Chen will announce the lucky 12, who will immediately enter the house.
