Dan Gheesling Reveals Heartwarming Update on Big Brother’s Jerry MacDonald at 92!

17 years have passed since Big Brother Season 10 was broadcast, and it featured one of the most remarkable wins by a Houseguest that is still talked about today. Dan Gheesling might not excel at The Traitors, but he remains an iconic figure in the BB world and happens to be the one keeping us updated on the life of ex-housemate Jerry MacDonald.

Indeed, it’s true that Jerry, the oldest Houseguest to ever appear on Big Brother, remains vibrant in 2025. As I indulge myself in Season 10 using my Paramount+ membership, this fact brings me immense delight. Here’s an account of Dan’s conversation with Jerry during their most recent FaceTime chat and a glimpse into the life that Jerry leads as a former Marine:

At 92 years old, it’s no surprise that Jerry has retired, considering his dedication to health and fitness was evident during his appearance on Big Brother back in 2008. He shared with his fellow Houseguests that he didn’t just get fit for the game, but to support his wife following her Parkinson’s diagnosis. His efforts appear to have been worthwhile, as he looks great in 2025 and seems ready to watch Season 27.

The recent news about Jerry is surfacing at a time when many “Big Brother” enthusiasts are advocating for the return of older contestants, and I find myself among them. Although some of Jerry’s heated moments during Season 10 might be instances that the show prefers to let slip from memory, I believe it is essential to have different age groups interacting and conversing on this program.

More On Big Brother

As we eagerly anticipate the arrival of Big Brother Season 27, my mind keeps racing about the groundbreaking twist I fervently hope will make a comeback.

Thus far, the specifics about Big Brother Season 27 remain unknown, but we do have some details. The show is set to air extended 90-minute episodes every Wednesday. Furthermore, there’s a strong possibility that the A.I. Arena twist, which enabled multiple nominees during Season 26, will make a comeback in some form or another.

In addition to this, we’re introducing a fresh series called “Big Brother: Unlocked“, where previous Houseguests will join for discussions on the current season and the game dynamics. It would be fantastic if CBS could arrange an episode featuring Dan and Jerry, should schedules permit. This would offer them a platform to share insights from their past experiences in the game, stories that haven’t been shared extensively over the years. Fingers crossed it becomes a reality!

The twenty-seventh season of “Big Brother” is slated to air on Thursday, July 10th, 2025 at 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time on CBS. Here’s hoping this season will be as thrilling as the last one and that we’ll uncover more fascinating details about the Houseguests leading up to the premiere.
