Big Brother season 28 is right around the corner, and most of the Houseguests competing for the whopping $750,000 prize pot were revealed on Tuesday, July 7. While all the fresh faces in the franchise were introduced during a YouTube livestream, one of those unexpected twists that longtime host Julie Chen Moonves teased a while back was unveiled hours later: Survivor 50 alum Rick Devens is officially joining BB28!
According to an exclusive report from Entertainment Weekly, the Survivor fan-favorite isn’t the only tribe member making his way to the BB house. While the identity of the second Survivor alum making their way to Big Brother hasn’t been revealed yet, we can look out for the big reveal as the season premieres on Thursday, July 9.
This isn’t the first time there’s been a BB and Survivor crossover. According to EW, Big Brother 12 winner Hayden Moss made it to sixth place on Survivor: Blood vs. Water in 2013, while Caleb Reynolds from BB16 eventually competed in two (!!!) Survivor seasons, Kaoh Rong and Game Changers.
The casting update comes after The Sun previously reported that CBS execs are “actively planning to bring back a mix of veteran players alongside brand-new contestants for the first time in over six years” for BB28.
“They want people who already know how to play hard, make big moves, stir drama, and create moments fans actually remember,” The Sun‘s source said. “They don’t necessarily want an easy, universally loved cast. They want personalities that get people talking online too.”
Iiiinteresting, considering Rick is considered one of the most polarizing and debated contestants in Survivor history since he first appeared on the show in 2019.
Anyway, EW adds that it’s unlikely Rick and the mystery alum will bring any “physical chaos inside the Big Brother house.” But true Survivor fans know that his gameplay will probably stir the pot this season!
Oh, and in other news: Men’s Journal also confirmed the rumor that Angela Murray will be joining the house alongside the two Survivor players. Things are heating up already!!
