Did you hear the one about the police sergeant, minister and nurse who shacked up for the summer…?
The beginning of a questionable joke? Possibly, but it’s also the cast of Big Brother‘s 16th cycle, which CBS unveiled Thursday.
Among the 16 men and women competing on the Eyes summer staple: YouTube personality Frankie Grande, former pro baseball player-turned-motorcycle salesman Devin Shepherd, pedicab driver Hayden Voss and minister Jocasta Odom.

Although the cast is predominately young — the youngest houseguests are just 21 years old — school groundskeeper Donny Thompson clocks in at 42. (Editor’s note: Recent nursing graduate Nicole Franzel(see photo, below
) looks suspiciously like last season’s headline-making Aaryn. I know your game, CBS.)
