This year's Big Brother housemates have been billed as the most diverse and colourful group yet, with a former religious sect member and dwarf belly dancer making up the ranks.
1. Saxon - SA
Saxon, 22, is heavily tattooed and physically imposing. Since spotting a UFO in the skies over Adelaide a couple of years ago, he has been on a mission to prove that aliens exist.
2. Rory - VIC
While being anti-religion, 21-year-old Rory has his own traditional views and opinions. He grew up in a poor suburb that he calls "the ghetto" and lists his favourite book as FHM Magazine.
3. Rima - VIC
Standing at just one metre tall, Rima is a small package with a big personality. The 25-year-old was born in Melbourne of Lebanese parents, works as a belly dancer and has been married for one year.
4. Renee - NSW
As an abattoir worker and rugby league enthusiast, this 22-year-old tom boy is a country girl at heart and very animated. She is also from the same town as fellow housemate Dixie.
5. Bianca - QLD
This 18-year-old Italian princess is passionate about the works of Plato and Shakespeare and believes her voluptuous body is both an asset and a curse. She rarely goes on dates and says men usually run in the opposite direction when she starts talking.
6. Alice - VIC
Meet the first vet to ever enter the Big Brother house - Dr Alice. The 24-year-old is a high achiever with a private school education, but insists she was a scholarship student who fought hard to keep her place.
7. Travis - NSW
With a high-pitched and squeaky voice, it's easy to stereotype 20-year-old Travis. But don't be fooled - this flamboyant and excitable virgin insists he is all about the ladies. He is staunchly religious and anti-drugs.
8. Rebecca - WA
This 22-year-old promotions model and waitress is comfortable in her own skin, but has a bizarre germ phobia and refuses to ever go barefoot. She even wears thongs in the shower.
9. Nobbi - VIC
This self-described insane attention seeker was born in Japan, and says he is always skating on thin ice. He has only been in love once and was heartbroken, so the 21-year-old remains happily single.
10. Dixie - NSW
Dixie is a uni student and mental health worker, as well as Big Brother's first Aboriginal housemate. The 21-year-old says her commitment issues means she has never had a real boyfriend.
11. David - NSW
Raised as a member of the Exclusive Brethren, David says he "escaped" the religious sect at 19-years-old. Before then, he had never eaten in a restaurant or kissed a girl. These days, the 32-year-old works as a fire fighter and is obsessed with celebrity gossip.
12. Brigitte - ACT
A self-confessed drama queen and wanna-be Paris Hilton, 20-year-old Brigitte describes her hobbies as shopping and "dressing up". One of her biggest fears is being seen on national television without make-up on.
13. Ben - WA
Ben, 19, is easily frustrated and prone to bouts of road rage. As a law student, he is often considered by friends as the voice of reason.
14. Terri - NSW
As Big Brother's oldest-ever housemate, 52-year-old Terri shouldn't be mistaken for a sweet Nanna. This Pauline Hanson fan is passionate and political, and finds the younger generation frustrating.
Three more housemates will be revealed this Sunday night.
