Big Brother 26 cast make bold predictions for their season (exclusive)

Expect the unexpected. That has long been the motto for Big Brother. But while expecting anything on CBS’ guilty pleasure reality franchise may be a fool’s errand, it’s always fun to guess at what might be in store. And that is exactly what we did with the current cast of Big Brother 26.

We asked each of the 16 contestants to lay down a bold prediction for what was in store for them this summer, and even though we are less than a week into the game, some of those predictions have already been marked as hilariously incorrect.

Who saw a showmance in his future? Who called out Jag’s brother as being a contestant? And who predicted sartorial greatness on the part of Julie Chen Moonves? Watch the video above or read on below for answers!

A bold prediction that I hope doesn't happen, but I'm nervous it's going to happen — it's me getting in a showmance. But I really don't want to get into a showmance. We'll see.

Some of my predictions for this season is that Jag's brother is going to be on this season, we're going to see a return of the Coaches format, and then my third big prediction is that we're going to do Pressure Cooker 3.0. I need it. I'll hold onto it for six weeks at a time. I'm not scared at all.

My bold prediction of Big Brother this season is it's like some returnees, I think. I know they keep saying that there's not going to be returnees, but expect the unexpected. Hello? I'm expecting that unexpected.

My bold prediction for this season of Big Brother is that we are entering an entirely new era. We finished the quarter, we're entering season 26, and so I think things in this game are really about to change.

The boldest prediction I can make in the Big Brother house is I'm going to win when it comes time that I need to win. There's not going to be a time that I don't have to win, that I'm not going to win. That's my prediction. Game time.

A bold prediction for something that will happen is I think a former houseguest is going to enter the building. I feel it.

Cedric Hodges

Cedric Hodges from 'Big Brother' season 26.

Sonja Flemming/CBS

My bold prediction for something that will happen this season of Big Brother is that for some reason, I don't know when, but half the houseguests are going to be gone. We're going to be like, “Oh, we're going to jury,” and it's going to be like PSYCH restart. Everyone's back in the house. Now there's two eliminations in one week. You don't know what's happening. Everything got thrown, turned upside down and no one is safe ever.

So a bold prediction I have for Big Brother this year is that a double eviction is going to happen in the first week.

Bold prediction: There's going to be somebody in the house who gets on my nerves.

Angela Murray

Angela Murray from 'Big Brother' season 26.

Sonja Flemming/CBS

So my prediction of season 26 of Big Brother is that there's going to be some repeat players, and it scares the s— out of me. UGH!

Matt Hardeman

Matt Hardeman from 'Big Brother' season 26.

Sonja Flemming/CBS

My bold prediction for this year is there's going to be a moment in this game where everybody's going to be like, “Matt's counted out. He's going home, back's against the wall.” But look no further. We're coming through, Power of Veto win, pull myself off the block, and we're ready to keep fighting, baby. That's my bold prediction. Get ready for it.

Chelsie Baham

Chelsie Baham from 'Big Brother' season 26.

Sonja Flemming/CBS

My bold prediction for something that's going to happen this season: I think they're going to sneak in a former houseguest, maybe even a former winner. And if that happens, I'm coming after them.

Cam Sullivan-Brown

Cam Sullivan-Brown from 'Big Brother' season 26.

My bold prediction for Big Brother is that I'm going to make the final three. I don't think that's a bold prediction, but I'm going to just say it now.

Lisa Weintraub

Lisa Weintraub from 'Big Brother' season 26.

My bold prediction is that there's going to be a plot twist. I don't know what it is going to be, but it's going to be like the game has never been played before.
