When it comes to Big Brother, fans are always told to expect the unexpected. That certainly applies to Houseguests who are older.
Most of the people cast on the CBS show are between the ages of 21 and 40. However, there were some Houseguests who were decades older than that. Many of them made it pretty far in the game.
The oldest was a man named Jerry MacDonald, who played on Season 10 when he was 75 years old. The youngest contestant ever was Daniele, who was 20 years old. Usually contestants have to be 21, but since she was part of a twist with her dad in the house, she was able to enter the house at 20. The oldest winner was her father, “Evel” Dick Donato, who was 44 when he won Season 8.
Here’s a list of the 10 oldest Houseguests to have played Big Brother and what they are up to now. This list does not include Celebrity Big Brother Houseguests.
