We've seen memorable contestants, from Chrissie Swan to Sara Marie Fedele, star on the show over the years, but who can we expect to see in 2020?

Get to know this year's housemates below.

Mat Big Brother
Seven

Mat

Tradie Mat works as an electrician in one of the local mines. Born and bred in outback NSW, he's first and foremost a country boy.

"I've lived in Broken Hill my whole life. I like to think I'm a pretty genuine guy. I hope that that can take me a fair way in the game," he said in one of the show's first promos.

"It's a game, ya gotta remember that. If someone's coming after my back, it's kill or be killed in my book."

Daniel Big Brother
Seven

Daniel

Will Daniel's stint on Big Brother be more successful than his former career as an AFL player?

"They figured out I wasn't very good at footy. So that's when they sacked me," the ex GC Suns and Carlton player explains in a promo.

"This is redemption for me. AFL didn't go the way I wanted it to go, but Big Brother is something that I know I can win."

Marissa Big Brother
Seven

Marissa

Get your leg warmers out, because we have a morning aerobics star in our midst!

Marissa Rancan was one trio of eighties aerobics group the Rancan Sisters and at 61, is the oldest housemate.

"Underestimating me is a big mistake," she said in a promo. "I'm gonna play this game hard, and I'm ready for it."

Marissa Big Brother
Seven

Angela

37-year-old Perth mum of two Angela is an events manager and says "if you want a good life, work for it."

Loud and tough, Angela says, "Big Brother has met his match because I don't back down. Bring it on!'

If she wins the prize money, the mum has said she'll take her family to Legoland in Japan.

Chad
Seven

Chad

Chad, 27, is an international model "by career" but says he's "a tradie by heart."

He's graced the pages of Vogue, GQ and Superdry, but insists he won't fall in love on the show.

"I think I'll be able to adapt to most personalities in the Big Brother house, and just weave my way in there," he says.

Sophie
Seven

Sophie

Champion gymnast Sophie is sure to bring a competitive edge to the house.

The 25-year-old Darwin local started training as a gymnast from a young age and even made the Australian Olympic team for London 2012 when she was just 18. Sadly, her dreams were shattered when she suffered a back injury that marked the end of her elite sport carer.

Can this former champion walk away victorious from the Big Brother house?

Zoe
Seven

Zoe

Mum-of-two Zoe is a lifestyle blogger and secondary school woodwork teacher - and she's not afraid of the messy stuff.

"If you haven't had things under your nail and wondered if it's Nutella or poo, then you're not a mum!" she says in a trailer.

Zoe describes herself as "as subtle as a brick to the face", but can she go all the way? 

Kieran
Seven

Kieran

A 40-year-old in the body of a 21-year-old, who reckons the celebrity he's most like is Justin Bieber? Meet Kieran.

Dubbed Adelaide's worst driver, Kieran has been on his L plates for three and a half years, but thinks his housemates are going to go down like "a sack of bloody potatoes."

"I'm really competitive. I want to be the king of the house. I'm not here to make friends, I'm here to stir the pot and win," he says.

Allan Big Brother
Channel Seven

Allan 

"Allan is a high-achieving corporate salesman from Sydney who will do whatever it takes to win Big Brother.

Being mediocre just doesn’t cut it for this self-described master manipulator.

He will use strategy, stir the pot, poke the bear and give it his all to be there at the end."

Casey Big Brother
Channe Seven

Casey

“Self-described bogan Casey likes pushing herself and she’s ready to give Big Brother a red-hot crack.

This creative, clumsy, self-deprecating free spirit says that growing up in Kalgoorlie gave her a country mindset and shaped her into the respectful, open-minded person she is today.”

Danni Big Brother
Channel Seven

Danni

“Married mother-of-two Danni feels she’s going to bring the “real” to this reality competition.

Danni wants to be a valued Housemate, but admits she sometimes has a bad case of foot in mouth which hopefully won’t get her into trouble.”

Garth Big Brother
Channel Seven

Garth

“Fab, fun and a little naughty, Garth is setting out on his Big Brother adventure to prove to himself and Australia that you can still play hard at 50.”

Hannah Big Brother
Channel Seven

Hannah

“Confident, cutthroat and super competitive, Hannah is going to tackle the game of Big Brother with a vengeance.

Hannah can’t stand people who are full of themselves or selfish and says that lying men and bitchy girls will push her over the edge. If she doesn’t like someone, they’ll know about it - she is not going to tread lightly. “

Ian Big Brother
Channel Seven

Ian

“Inquisitive by nature, there’s a science to Ian’s motivations for applying to Big Brother.

Growing up in the bush as an only child, Ian developed a fascination with ecology and biology,

Playing with someone’s feelings is one thing he absolutely won’t do. He also dislikes close-minded people who aren’t willing to listen to, or accept, viewpoints that go against their own.“

Laura Big Brother
Channel Seven

Laura

“Fierce, fabulous and unique, Laura is pumped to bring her “good vibez” to Big Brother.

True to herself and mentally agile, Laura is not one to back down in an argument. “It’s my way or the highway” she says and isn’t afraid to play tough to get an advantage.“

Sarah Big Brother
Channel Seven

Sarah

“Sarah is a 4’11” pocket rocket and Regimental Sergeant Major with the Australian Army Cadets.

What she lacks in height, Sarah makes up for with personality, passion and positivity. She loves beating people’s perceptions about her based on her stature.”

Shane Big Brother
Channel Seven

Shane

“Shane is an effervescent husband and father-of-three with a wicked sense of humour.

In coming on Big Brother, Shane wants to prove to himself and his kids that anything is possible.“

SooBong Big Brother
Channel Seven

SooBong

“Adelaide delivery driver SooBong has been a singer, ski instructor, casino dealer, personal trainer, golf coach, sound engineer and vocal coach, and now has his sights set on becoming the winner of Big Brother.“

Talia Big Brother
Channel Seven

Talia

“Talia isn’t your average 22-year-old woman. In fact, people are usually shocked to discover this blonde beauty works in construction and was a homeowner at just 19.

She may be young and look like a “girly girl,” but after growing up with two older brothers and managing a job site of 50 men, she can hold her own with the boys.“

Xavier Big Brother
Channel Seven

Xavier

“Surfer boy Xavier is likely to be the cheekiest and most chilled out person in the Big Brother house. But look past his boyish charm and laidback persona and you’ll find a deep-thinking paramedic with a kind heart.

He admits he can be a bit of a troublemaker and while he doesn’t like fake people, he does like messing with them.“
