Alyssa Lopez is starting her engines to play the game of Big Brother 23, which means that it's the perfect time to learn more about her life, career, and background. After several delays in 2020, many fans had convinced themselves that Big Brother 22 wouldn't even happen. But when the producers managed to make it happen - and make it an All-Stars season! - the fans got extremely excited for what would come.
Unfortunately, BB22 was not what most fans hoped it would be, placing a huge responsibility on Big Brother 23 to right those wrongs and bring this franchise back to its basics. After such a long wait for any updates or major announcements, CBS has finally unveiled the cast list of houseguests who'll get to compete for $500,000 in 2021. All things considered, this is surely the most diverse cast that has ever been featured on an American season of Big Brother.
The Big Brother 23 fans are paying close attention to Alyssa Lopez, and we already know a lot about this houseguest. Per CBS, Alyssa is 24 years old and lives in Sarasota, Florida. She is a fashion designer who owns a company of swimwear apparel. Alyssa loves working out, going to the beach, and spending time with her two dogs, Jeter and Piper. Her favorite Big Brother duo is Jessica Graf and Cody Nickson, the most notorious showmance from BB19. She also thinks fondly of Jeff Schroeder, because BB11 was the first season she ever watched. Strategy-wise, Alyssa wants to win the first Head of Household competition, and she plans on playing similarly to Tyler Crispen on BB20.
If you want to follow the BB23 stars on Instagram, you can start by giving Alyssa a follow on @alooopezzz. On her Instagram, Alyssa identifies as Puerto Rican and links to the swimwear company that she is a co-founder of. The company, called Molliebird, was created by Alyssa and a friend, Meredith Mickelson. The brand sells bikinis, one-pieces, as well as separate tops and bottoms. Sizes go from XS to XL. A quick scroll through Alyssa's IG grid makes it clear that she loves spending time at the beach with her friends. She will probably be using the pool inside the BB house quite often.
Start your engines, Big Brother fans! With this cast announcement for BB23, this pre-season is officially reaching its peak. This season will get kickstarted on Wednesday, July 7 on CBS, right before the premiere of Love Island USA season 3. Hopefully, we'll get a batch of players who are willing to risk it all to win this game worth $500,000.
Big Brother 23 airs Sundays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays at 8pm ET/PT on CBS.
