While it may be Season 23 of Big Brother, fans still don't know what to expect from the CBS reality series. In fact, during the premiere episode, host Julie Chen revealed that not only will the contestants be playing for the biggest grand prize of all time, but this time around, there will be teams.

So, contestants can throw all their strategies out the window because this time around they will be playing in four teams of four. Teams were decided by Brandon "Frenchie" French, Christian Birkenberger, Claire Rehfuss, and Whitney Williams who competed for the first Head of Household — and drafted their teams.

This means that alliances (and showmances) will be a little bit trickier, especially if you are trying to "mingle" outside your designated team. Here is a breakdown of who is playing with who during Season 23 of Big Brother!

Team Jokers

(L-R) Tiffany, Kyland, Claire, and Travis

Captain: Claire — a 25-year-old AI engineer from New York

Pick No. 1: Kyland Young — a 29-year-old account executive from Venice Beach, Ca.

Pick No. 2: Tiffany Mitchell — a 40-year-old phlebotomist from Detroit and proud mom.

Pick No. 3: Travis Long — a 22-year-old sales consultant who lives in Hawaii (and happens to look just like Chase Stokes).

This season, the team that comes in first (or wins the Head of Household competition) is safe from elimination. The team that comes in last will be the have nots for the week. Seems simple enough.

What could go wrong? Watch Big Brother Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays at 8 p.m. or 9 p.m. EST on CBS.
