Meet the Dallas-Fort Worth contestants (including sisters!) on new season of CBS' 'Big Brother'

CBS won't wait until next summer for the next installment of its reality series Big Brother.

The network will have a new version that's online-only, Big Brother: Over the Top that streams on CBS' All-Access ($5.99 per month). It starts Wednesday night.

Three of the contestants, including two sisters, are from the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Alex and Morgan Willett hail from Granbury (which CBS.com lovingly refers to as "Grandbury").

"We're going to try to keep it a secret if possible," Alex tells ET.com. "She might ruin my game, she might not ... day one, if someone calls us out, we're gonna fess up and be open about it."

From her CBS bio

Three adjectives that describe you: Determined, creative, and perceptive.

Favorite activities: Playing The Settlers Of Catan and lifting heavy at the gym. I'm goal oriented and being fit is big to me. And playing piano; I took lessons for eight years.

What do you think will be the most difficult part about living inside the Big Brother: Over the Top house? 100-percent not having access to a "mental escape," having no books, phones, articles, or games as a means to relax. Also, no communication with family will be tough.

Fun facts about yourself:

1. I can do flips! Was a competitive gymnast with Nastia Lukin back in the day.

2. I ate McDonald's for every meal to get all the Pokémon toys once.

3. I've competed in races like Tough Mudder and beat all the boys.

4. I've been to Europe five times and visited over 13 countries.

5. I have to drink energy drinks before movies because I don't have the attention span.
