The cast of Big Brother 23 has finally been announced, and some fans are already paying attention to Christian Birkenberger and wanting to learn more about him. After the slow burn that Big Brother 22: All-Stars turned out to be, many longtime viewers are looking forward to a season with brand-new houseguests who are willing to risk it all to compete for $500,000. It took a little bit for the BB23 cast to be announced, but it is now here for everyone to look at.
Over the years, Big Brother has become famous for introducing the fans to attractive male players who are able to talk their way out of just about any situation. This tradition certainly started out with Dr. Will Kirby on BB2, but other notorious heartthrobs include Drew Daniel (BB5), Jeff Schroeder (BB11), Brendon Villegas (BB12), Cody Calafiore (BB16), Victor Arroyo (BB18), and Tyler Crispen (BB20), to name a few. Now, there are quite a few men who will be vying for that status on BB23.
From Harwinton, Connecticut, Christian Birkenberger is a 23-year-old general contractor assistant who will now be giving his all to play the game on Big Brother 23. According to his CBS interview, Christian calls himself "charming, friendly, and determined." His favorite duo in Big Brother history is Zack Rance and Frankie Grande from BB16, but his favorite move on the show was Jeff Schroeder using his coup d'etat power to backdoor Jessie Godderz on BB11. In his downtime, Christian really likes golfing, fishing, and playing basketball. He is also a big flirt, so a showmance might be on the horizon for this BB23 player.
On Instagram, Christian can be found at @christian_birkenberger, so the curious Big Brother fans can go follow him on social media. Pictures of Christian modeling and not wearing a shirt are all over his IG grid. He also shows off his talents in riding a unicycle and snowboarding. In his bio, Christian identifies himself as a "modern day Tarzan." He also provides contact info for his modeling agency and links to his TikTok profile at @christian_birkenberger. There is no doubt that Christian will help out his modeling career while appearing on BB23.
It's hard to draw too many conclusions from what we know so far about these Big Brother 23 contestants. With that said, the fandom is excited to watch these houseguests in action once the new season officially starts on Wednesday, July 7. We can't wait to find out how these players will be split into teams (and how they'll form side alliances) to stay alive in the game.
Big Brother 23 airs Sundays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays at 8pm ET/PT on CBS.
