It's time to meet Hannah Chaddha, who will be entering the Big Brother 23 house for a chance to win the $500,000 grand prize at the end of this summer. Since its earliest seasons, Big Brother has been a place where academics have the potential to thrive. Of note, players like Ian Terry (BB14) and Steve Moses (BB17) got to outsmart their competitors and win the show, even if they weren't the best in certain endurance competitions.
With that said, there have also been geeky houseguests who were absolutely smashed by the alpha personalities inside a Big Brother house. For example, Cameron Heard (BB19) and Scottie Salton (BB20) were early-outs, and Jackson Michie chose when and how to dispose of his alliance with Nicole Anthony on BB21. On the other hand, relying on your mental game doesn't mean that you can't also be a comp beast, and maybe it's time for BB23 to feature a player who can do it all.
From Chicago, Illinois, Hannah Chaddha is one of the 16 contestants who'll get to compete on Big Brother 23. According to her official CBS bio, Hannah is a 21-year-old graduate student. She describes herself as a "calculated, composed, and versatile" person who is also interested in dancing, traveling, and watching The Real Housewives on TV. All things considered, she is very passionate about school (primarily math and science) and happens to be a competitive hip-hop dancer as well. Hannah's favorite BB duo of all time is Da'Vonne Rogers and Bayleigh Dayton from All-Stars. Moreover, her favorite Big Brother moment was when Dan Gheesling convinced Danielle Murphree to use the veto on him, which led to the shocking blindside and subsequent eviction of Shane Meaney.
The Big Brother fans who are looking for these new houseguests on Instagram can now follow Hannah Chaddha via @hschaddha13. However, an even better source to learn more about her is via The Bioethics Hub, which included a lengthy interview with Hannah about her college interests and achievements. Hannah graduated with Summa Cum Laude Latin Honors from the University of Illinois Chicago in 2020. Her accolades include a General Chemistry Award and a Liberal Arts and Sciences Merit Award. The interview also revealed that Hannah loves traveling to New Delhi, India, which is where her father's family resides.
Summer is here, which means that it's time for a brand-new season of Big Brother. It is long overdue for the fans to get an amazing season where they can really "expect the unexpected," and there's a lot of hope out there that BB23 will deliver exactly that. We're only now meeting these contestants, but we'll get to watch them throughout an entire summer.
Big Brother 23 airs Sundays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays at 8pm ET/PT on CBS.
