USA Gymnastics reports that the Olympic champion "Fierce Five" gymnastics team will appear on tonight's edition of "Big Brother" on CBS television (8 p.m. EST).

The talented group of teenagers includes gold-medal all-around champion Gabby Douglas, a home-schooled junior from Virginia Beach, Va.; McKayla Maroney, a home-schooled junior from Long Beach, Calif.; Jordyn Wieber, a senior from DeWitt (Mich.); Kyla Ross, a sophomore from Aliso Niguel (Aliso Viejo, Calif.); and Aly Raisman, a spring graduate of Needham (Mass.).

They will be shown visiting with two contestants, Shane and Danielle. The opportunity arises when Shane wins a luxury prize and invites Danielle to join him. "Big Brother" follows a group of people living together in a house outfitted with more than 52 cameras and 95 microphones recording their every move 24 hours a day. Each week the house guests vote someone out of the house. At the end, the last remaining house guest will receive a prize of $500,000.
