Big Brother returns in its 20th year on the air for a special All-Stars season that’s bringing back some of the show’s best houseguests ever. While most seasons of the show feature a cast of new players all vying to win half a million dollars, the All-Star format sees fan-favorite cast members from previous seasons return to the show for another try at winning the grand prize.

This time around, the cast had to be quarantined for two weeks before the show and undergo testing for coronavirus to ensure they were all virus-free before entering the house. At least one cast member was cut due to a positive test result, and on premiere night, the guests entered the Big Brother house while wearing face masks. The crew behind-the-scenes have been tested and quarantined as well.

Though the cast wasn’t revealed until premiere night, we now know the All-Stars houseguests include Janelle Pierzina, Da’Vonne Rogers, Ian Terr…

The 2020 Emmys are about to present an awards show unlike any other. With proper social distancing measures taken, this year’s show will go on without a live audience and without this year’s nominees in attendance.
