About Haley Thogmartin
In a Big Brother 28 cast that includes a rocket scientist, an MMA fighter, and a RuPaul's Drag Race alum, Haley Thogmartin is the telemedicine executive. The 29-year-old grew up in Neosho, Missouri, now lives in Wildwood, Missouri, and isn't pretending to be a lifelong devotee: she's said she recently started watching the show and got through roughly ten seasons before entering the house, calling the casting a surreal, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Her cast bio and pre-season interview coverage sum her up in three words: outgoing, bubbly, and fun. Her favorite past player is reported to be Janelle Pierzina, the four-time Big Brother legend, whose confidence, competitive dominance, and fearless personality she hopes to channel in her own game.
Thogmartin was part of the initial 14-person cast announced in July 2026, before CBS added surprise houseguests including Survivor alums Dee Valladares and Rick Devens and Big Brother returnee Angela Murray. Season 28, hosted by Julie Chen Moonves, carries a 'Time Trip' theme — house rooms styled after decades like the '80s and Y2K — and an increased $750,000 prize.
So far she's stayed out of the first major fireworks. Week 1 spoiler coverage centers on Dee Valladares winning the first Head of Household, and Thogmartin was not among the initial nominees.
