Popular reality show “Big Brother” premiered this week, featuring two Texas residents who say they are up for the challenge.

Men over the age of 50 in Big Brother are often a crapshoot. It can be hard for them to warm up to a house full of people decades younger than them, but for every Kenney Kelley and Steve Arienta that went home pre-jury, there's a Cliff Hogg and Jerry MacDonald who had a deep run even if they didn't stand a great chance at winning.

The houseguests of ‘Big Brother’s 27th season were unveiled shortly before the premiere! Get to know each of them and their motivation in joining the game.
