Basiri from Drongen (23)
He is there to “push his limits and have the mentality of a hyena”, whatever that may be. Basiri likes to take on challenges. Not so long ago he decided to adjust his diet and lifestyle. As a result, he lost 40 kilos. What intrigues him most about Big Brother are the mental games. Can he stay strong, or will he collapse under the pressure?
Ronahi from Zonhoven (28)
People often shout to her: ‘Take it easy for a moment’. Then you know what kind of meat you are dealing with with Ronahi. She has faced some challenges in the past and has become a bit tough as a result. So she doesn’t play for fun, her goal is to win. Despite all that, she remains positive. She always puts her family first.
Sonja from Antwerp (26)
A domestic type who enjoys cooking and is caring for the people she cares about. But you better not make her angry, because then she becomes – her words, not ours – an unpredictable tornado. Sonja would like to participate to get to know herself a little better, to discover how she develops in a group with seven strangers.
Alice from Groningen (19)
Her Instagram page is all about a healthy and sporty life. But don’t call Alice an influencer, because she thinks that’s a terrible word. The online content creator values honesty, so she will never avoid confrontations. She is in the gym every day, so it is not surprising that she also does not settle for anything less than a win.
Tyron from Heerhugowaard (26)
No, not Tyrion like in Game of Thrones. Although Tyron is fanatical, he will not easily resort to underhanded games or manipulation. He may seem like a tough guy, but he is very gentle and emotional. The biggest advantage of his good looks is that they occasionally lead to modeling jobs. And, perhaps even more importantly, the necessary private messages.
Dilano from Eindhoven (25)
Set his alarm for five in the morning to exercise? No problem for Dilano. Even more, it’s second nature. He will charm the other residents with his looks and talk, but never tell him he can’t do something. Because then he will go for it three times as hard. In his own words: “Who are you to tell me what I can and cannot do?”
Lenie (52) from Arnhem
The nestor of the group was born and raised in a caravan. He would never want to live in a classic house, but you can hardly call the Big Brother house classic. Lenie is an entertainer who likes to have fun and sing a song, but should not be underestimated. Because he is and remains a fanatic.
Ashley (33) from Schagen
Manipulate her opponents and coolly knock them out of the game? Ashley thinks she has little problem with it. However, living with seven others can be difficult for her – especially in the beginning. After all, in normal life she prefers to be alone, because she quickly becomes overstimulated.
