The cast for The Amazing Race 38 has been sequestered.

As previously reported by Monsters and Critics, Tar 38 features a Big Brother alum on each team.

Details are scarce, but the new season features a former Big Brother houseguest teamed up with a loved one on each team.

This is a huge crossover between Big Brother and The Amazing Race and a risky one for CBS.

Many Big Brother alums have found success with The Amazing Race, with two teams of former houseguests winning the $1 million prize.

Cody Nickson and Jessica Graf from BB19 won The Amazing Race 30. Derek Xiao and Claire Rehfuss from BB23 won The Amazing Race 34.

A sequestered cast and online rumors about The Amazing Race 38

“The #TAR38 cast, which will feature Big Brother players and loved ones, leaves for sequester today. I’m actually a little more excited than I thought I would be, but everyone’s expectations are different!

Jackson Michie from Big Brother 21 sat down for a new interview with Julie Chen Moonves.

The interview was part of Julie’s God 101 series, and Jackson got honest about some of his troubled past.

Big Brother fans met Jackson during the Summer 2019 season. That BB21 season was packed with troubled players and controversy.

Jackson was included in a dominant alliance and a showmance that put him in a powerful position.

The showmance between Jackson and Holly Allen continued in the real world after the season finale, but they have since parted ways.

Jackson won Big Brother 21, with Holly finishing as the runner-up. Third place and the America’s Favorite Houseguest title went to Nicole Anthony.

The Tracker season 2 fall finale, "The Night Movers," finally moves the needle on Colter Shaw's Gina Picket case, but the outing may have been better if it focused on its weekly case instead. Tracker, the most-watched TV show of the 2023-2024 season (breaking NCIS' 5-year streak), returned for its sophomore season to high expectations, and understandably so. Marking Justin Hartley's first post-This Is Us series, Tracker follows its titular character as he roams the country for missing people's cases. In season 2, however, the CBS procedural seems to be struggling to find its identity.

Tracker follows lone-wolf survivalist Colter Shaw as he navigates the country as a reward seeker. Utilizing his expert tracking skills, he aids private citizens and law enforcement in solving various mysteries while grappling with issues from his fractured family.

Cast Arianna McGregor, Zia Newton, Dalias Blake, Aggie Bell, Jeremy Jones, Ashley Roxburgh, Paniz Zade, Mattia Castrillo,...

Prime Video's Reacher became an instant hit with audiences when it was released in 2022. Telling the story of a retired special investigator for the US Army's Military Police, the series has adapted one of Lee Child's original novels per season. Beginning with Reacher's arrival in Margrave, where he solved the murder of his brother, the show was praised by critics for pacing, writing, and character development.

Many series fall into the category of a must-see for fans of Reacher, and that mirrors the show's combination of crime, conspiracy, and action. Different shows can appeal to different aspects of what made the Prime series work, ranging from the murder mystery side to the high-octane action. Ranging from weekly, done-in-one procedurals to serialized action shows, there are plenty of stories for Reacher fans.

Updated by Jordan Iacobucci on November 8, 2024: With Season 3 of Reacher about to premiere on Prime Video,...

Tracker star Justin Hartley recently discussed the upcoming second season, revealing his expectations for the show's continued exploration of Colter Shaw's relationship with his on-screen brother, Russell (Jensen Ackles). Russell Shaw will feature more prominently in Tracker Season 2, which premieres on October 27.

In an interview with Collider, Hartley addressed what he would like to see with the relationship between the brothers in Tracker Season 2, given the family bombshell that was dropped on Colter in the first season. "When Colter finds out exactly whats going on and I've struggled with that because there are so many different ways to skin this cat and I don't know which way is better or more interesting and he learns the absolute, undeniable truth," he said. "Does he find out from his sister? Is it from his brother? Is it his mother? Is it a combination of all three? Is it none of them? Is...

Jensen Ackles is best known for his role as Dean Winchester in the longtime CW fantasy series Supernatural. Since then, he joined several other projects, including the CBS hit drama Tracker, which just returned with Season 2.

Ackles plays Russell Shaw, Colter Shaw's brother, who is the lead character, played by This Is Us star Justin Hartley. The actor made his debut on the CBS series in Season 1 and has a recurring guest star role in Season 2. Ackles just appeared in Episode 2, which premiered on the channel on Oct. 20, and his return featured a very sneaky Supernatural reference, as reported by People.

Who will win America’s Favorite Houseguest from the Big Brother 26 cast?

The question of popularity is an interesting one this summer, as one of the houseguests talked about the most might share an equal number of fans from casual viewers and on social media.

Angela Murray is the most talked about houseguest from this summer – not for good gameplay, but for antics that have served her well.

Angela has been able to sidestep being the biggest target due to a feud between Tucker Des Lauriers and Quinn Martin.

With Tucker and Quinn battling and houseguests forced to choose sides, she has become less of a target.

Meanwhile, Tucker is gaining in popularity due to how interesting he has made the show. Blowing up his own game, winning the Power of Veto but using it on someone else (Angela), and his chaotic gameplay may have made him a fan favorite.

A fun Big Brother 26 cast rumor was pushed by an alum this weekend.

During a reunion of Big Brother alums, Kathryn Dunn from the BB21 cast teased her social media followers.

A new season of Big Brother arrives on July 17, and fans are starved for the latest information.

Here’s everything we know about BB26, but it doesn’t yet include the names of the BB26 cast members.

So when Kat teased her involvement and a possible BB26 theme, it got social media buzzing.

Fans met Kat when she finished 10th place during BB21. The summer 2019 season was won by Jackson Michie, with Holly Allen coming in second place.

Since then, Kat has been very active on social media, including interviewing houseguests from recent seasons.

A reunion of Big Brother 21 cast members recently happened under the bright lights of Broadway.

A trio of BB21 alums hung out in New York City with their significant others and shared a special moment.

These folks were featured during the Big Brother season in the summer of 2019.

BB21 was the season that Jackson Michie won, with Holly Allen finishing as the runner-up.

Nicole Anthony, who was at the Broadway reunion this past week, finished in third place on BB21 and was named America’s Favorite Houseguest. She returned later for Big Brother 22.

Ovi Kabir, who finished 15th place and was the second person evicted on BB21, was also there as they joined Tommy Bracco for a performance of his Broadway show. Tommy finished that season in fifth place.

A Broadway reunion for Big Brother 21 alums and their significant others

“They say the Neon Lights are bright on Broadway?!” Nicole wrote on Instagram.

Big Brother fans desperately want to know who is playing BB26.

With no Hollywood strikes to delay production, many fans thought the season would start earlier.

CBS revealed that the BB26 cast will debut with a two-night season premiere on July 17 and 18.

There have also been recent teasers about the BB26 theme that could tie it to artificial intelligence.

It won’t be long until the BB26 cast takes over primetime on CBS and the Paramount+ live feeds.

But when could we learn the names of the Big Brother 26 cast members?

When has Big Brother revealed recent casts?

CBS hasn’t revealed the exact drop date for the BB26 cast list, so we have to look at past seasons to make an educated guess about the big reveal.

The Big Brother 25 cast was revealed only two days before the first episode. We learned the names of the BB25 cast members...

Big Brother fans are getting excited about the new season.

CBS teased BB26 with a new promo and got fans buzzing on social media.

We still have to wait for the July 17 season premiere, but it’s never too early to get excited about new content.

The producers revealed that the BB26 is made entirely of new folks. It will give fans new people to cheer for this summer.

A $750,000 prize is on the line again, and Julie Chen Moonves returns as the host.

Here is a link to the BB26 TV promo, which hints that it will somehow be tied to the past.

What are Big Brother fans saying about BB26?

The social media response to the latest BB26 promo has been largely positive.

Many fans are excited for the new season to arrive, with some noting that it should have started even earlier.

July 17 does seem like a...

A new Big Brother 26 promo was dropped, and it’s exciting.

It appears that the BB26 has a new logo to work with, and the new season will also give a nod to the past.

There is also some conjecture on social media that artificial intelligence could be involved in the summer 2024 season.

As Monsters and Critics previously reported, the Big Brother 26 season premiere is on Wednesday, July 17.

The BB26 cast gets a two-night premiere, with Thursday, July 18, as a continuation of opening night.

The $750,000 prize is on the line again, and a new group of houseguests are competing.

Big Brother 26 promo teases a new-look house

“This Summer. These Walls. Will Talk,” reads the text over a video tour of the Big Brother house.

The new video also features audio clips from previous seasons playing in the background. It’s certainly a hint about what’s coming, but we don’t know the theme yet.

Nicole Anthony is enjoying life as a married woman.

America’s Favorite Houseguest from Big Brother 21 recently celebrated her wedding anniversary.

No, we aren’t talking years yet, but Nicole wanted to mark the three-month anniversary of getting hitched to her husband.

Big Brother fans met Nicole when she played during the summer of 2019. Nicole bonded closely with Cliff Hogg, but the duo struggled against a large BB21 alliance.

Nicole and Cliff nearly reached the end, but Cliff finished in fourth place, and Nicole settled for third.

Big Brother invited Nicole to play on All-Stars 2 (BB22) the following summer.

Nicole Anthony celebrates her three-month wedding anniversary

“3 months ago today I married my best friend. My rock. My love. My forever & always ❤️...

Jackson Michie from the Big Brother 21 cast is now a father.

Last summer, Jackson married Caitlin Goodrich, and now they are parents of a beautiful baby girl.

Jackson played Big Brother during the summer of 2019 season, making it to the finale thanks to a strong alliance.

Jackson was involved in a showmance during BB21 filming with Holly Allen, who finished second place.

The couple took their relationship to the real world, but it didn’t end up lasting.

Nicole Anthony was also featured in that season. She finished third and was named America’s Favorite Houseguest.

Christie Murphy is enjoying being a mom.

The Big Brother 21 alum surfaced on social media to share a new photo with her adorable twin babies.

Christie gave birth to her babies this past winter and became a mom with her wife, Jamie Martin.

The couple married in April 2022 after an engagement in Paris in August 2021.

The surprise proposal in France was part of a romantic vacation for the pair.

Now Christie and Jamie have two beautiful baby girls.

Christie shares a new baby photo

Christie shared a new photo of her babies on the floor with her.

“I’ll lay on the floor for the rest of my life if it means I get to see these smiles,” reads the caption to the Instagram post.

Christie previously revealed that the baby names are derived...

The Big Brother and Jeopardy! crossover has finally happened.

Well, not exactly, but the hit summer reality competition show was featured on a new episode of Jeopardy!.

Big Brother host Julie Chen Moonves and various social media accounts have shared images of the fun new reference to the show.

Julie also got a shoutout – a nice moment for Big Brother fans who happened to be tuning in that night.

Soon, Big Brother will dominate the primetime schedule again on CBS, but getting a mention during the spring is a rare treat.

Are you getting excited about Big Brother returning? Make sure to visit Monsters & Critics for its extensive coverage this summer.

Julie Chen Moonves has returned to creating interest in Big Brother on social media.

She does this around this time each year, especially as fans clamor for news about new seasons.

Soon, the Big Brother 26 cast will dominate our attention, with a new group of players competing for the $750,000 prize.

It was recently revealed that new people are helping create the BB26 cast, possibly bringing in some new ideas on how to keep the show fresh.

Meanwhile, many BB25 cast members are at odds following a dramatic and chaotic season during the Summer of 2023.

But it’s almost time to begin focusing on a new cast. Ahead of that, Julie is looking back at past Big Brother moments.

Julie Chen Moonves asks about memorable Big Brother Double Evictions

“A little #tbt … what double evictions do you remember the most over the 25 seasons of #BigBrother...

The Big Brother 25 showmance between Cory Wurtenberger and America Lopez takes center stage in a new interview from Sharon Tharp.

She sat down for a chat with the BB25 cast members and discussed life for about an hour. It gave them time to cover many topics, including their relationship status, America getting hit by a car, and even the Matt Klotz drama.

As die-hard Cory and America fans already know, he returned to college at Vanderbilt, and she moved to join him in Nashville, Tennessee. The couple also interacts with fans and chats about reality TV on social media.

At the beginning of the interview shared below, America and Cory spoke about what it was like to go from the Big Brother jury house to the real world. America also noted that she learned a lot from Taylor Hale and Joseph Abdin from BB24 regarding how they dealt with fans in public.

The recent New Jersey earthquake (a 4.8 on April 5) has led to people sharing videos of the Big Brother house going through earthquakes.

Since the Big Brother house is located in California, it isn’t rare for the players to experience the earth moving. But for some houseguests, it is the first time they have ever gone through one.

Luckily, no extensive damage has been sustained at the house during the various earthquakes, but it has led to some interesting moments on the Big Brother live feeds.

Live feed subscribers can watch online each season to see what the Big Brother players are up to in between episodes. That’s where juicy conversations and strategizing can take place.

And sometimes, the live feeds pick up something unexpected. We have had fans trying to yell information to houseguests, planes flying over the house with banners trailing, and even several kitchen fires.

Several medical situations have also happened,...

A new season of Big Brother is on the way for this summer.

The producers have been holding live auditions, and applications to be on the BB26 cast have been open for a while.

Soon enough, Big Brother fans will be glued to the live feeds again, and social media users will debate who deserves to win.

The producers have kept certain things under wraps, including the theme and whether or not there is any stunt casting.

During the Big Brother 25 season, the producers dropped Survivor legend Cirie Field in the mix. She was a surprise addition and got to play with her son, Jared Fields.

Below is a breakdown of what Big Brother fans should expect from BB26 and what we can look forward to this summer.

Big Brother 26 will likely be a shorter season, with a start date hitting sooner

The Big Brother 25 cast played the game for...

Some Big Brother 25 drama surfaced (again) on social media between America Lopez and Jared Fields.

America and Jared were on the BB25 cast, but both came up short in their quest to win the $750,000.

Jared was sent home early in the season after trying to play both sides of the house. It was part of an attempt to keep it a secret that fellow player Cirie Fields is his mom.

America made it to the jury phase of the season but got evicted a bit before the final weeks happened. America then voted for Jag Bains to win on the finale night.

As a reminder, Jag beat Matt Klotz to become the Big Brother 25 winner. Bowie Jane finished in third place, and Cameron Hardin was named America’s Favorite Houseguest.

Cory Wurtenberger and America began a showmance in the Big Brother house that has continued into the real world. That...

The cast for House of Villains Season 2 has been released.

The reality competition show from E! features characters who have been called villains on their respective reality TV shows.

It’s a way to get people who create headlines into one house and have them battle it out for a television audience.

House of Villains Season 1 finished airing in December, with Tanisha Thomas from Bad Girls Club winning the inaugural season.

The other players who made it to the finale night were Johnny Bananas from The Challenge and The Traitors, Anfisa Arkhipchenko from 90 Day Fiancé, Johnny Fairplay from Survivor, and Shake Chatterjee from Love Is Blind.

Now, a new group of reality TV stars will show what they can do in a battle to be named the best villain.

Who is on the House of Villains Season 2 cast?

Below are the names and bios of the House of Villains Season 2 cast members revealed today.

Big Brother 23 featured Derek Xiao and Claire Rehfuss.

The BB23 cast members were on the wrong side of The Cookout alliance that summer, leading to their early exits from the game.

But Derek and Claire made it to the jury phase. A romantic relationship developed between them in the jury house.

The secret of the relationship between Derek and Claire was kept close by their fellow jury members, and it only became public after the season finale.

As a reminder, The Cookout dominated that season, taking all six of its alliance members to the end.

The BB23 jury voted unanimously for Xavier Prather to win over Derek Frazier. It made Xavier the first winner of the $750,000 prize. The prize had been at $500,000 for the previous 22 seasons.

A relationship between Deek Xiao and Claire Rehfuss

Derek, a product manager, and Claire, an artificial intelligence engineer, kept busy after playing Big Brother...

Jordan Lloyd and Jeff Schroeder are considered Big Brother royalty.

The couple began a showmance on Big Brother 11, married after the show, and has two kids.

Jordan won BB11, netting the nice $500,000 prize for her efforts. Jeff was voted as America’s Favorite Houseguest that summer.

The couple competed on The Amazing Race 16, then returned for Big Brother 12. It was a busy time for them on reality TV.

During Big Brother 16, Jeff proposed to Jordan at the house, where they had spent many days together.

Jordan also returned to help host Big Brother: Reindeer Games this past winter.

Jeff and Jordan celebrate a fun wedding anniversary

The happy couple got married on March 15, 2016. They have been going strong ever since.

Jeff shared a fun collage of photos for the couple to celebrate their anniversary. The first image shows them chatting with host Julie Chen Moonves at the Big Brother house.

Big Brother 21 is about to celebrate its fifth anniversary and many cast members have been in the news.

It has led to some fan questions about the relationship status of Jackson Michie and Holly Allen.

Jackson and Holly had an intense Big Brother showmance in Summer 2019, leading to them trying to continue that relationship in the real world.

As a quick reminder, an underlying twist from the BB21 cast was that two people knew each other outside the house.

Christie Murphy had been in a relationship with the aunt of Tommy Bracco. They kept it under wraps, but it certainly helped the duo last longer in the game.

This was also the season where Nicole Anthony was named America’s Favorite Houseguest as she found a way to survive a strong eight-person alliance that had controlled the house.

Big Brother 22 was a disappointing season due to the blatant pre-gaming orchestrated by Daniele Donato, which made the gameplay formulaic and methodical. Daniele's previous appearances on Big Brother in seasons 8 and 13 established her as a strong competitor and a polarizing figure due to her relationship with her father, Dick. Janelle revealed that Daniele was the one responsible for initiating the pre-gaming in Bb 22, which ultimately led to a predictable outcome and a lackluster season.

Big Brother 22 was an All-Stars season meant to be one of the best, but many viewers felt it was a flop due to the blatant pre-gaming revealed to be Bb 8’s Daniele Donato’s doing. Filmed during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, Big Brother 22 was the second edition of All-Stars that the series has run, the first being Big Brother 7 in 2006. The first iteration of Big Brother All-Stars featured houseguests from the first 6 seasons of the series,...

America’s Favorite Houseguest from the Big Brother 24 cast was revealed on Sunday night.

This year, a 50,000 cash prize and a seven-day cruise were on the line for the winner.

The voting period was a bit shorter than normal, as it opened after Brittany Hoopes was evicted, and then it closed Sunday (the morning of the finale).

Paloma Aguilar was not eligible to be named Afh, but the other 15 members of the cast were up for America’s Vote.

Paloma became ineligible after she quit playing Big Brother this season for personal reasons. Later, Paloma said she had to walk away from the game for her mental health.

Last season, Tiffany Mitchell won Afh after she helped construct The Cookout and get that alliance to the final six intact.

Coming into the night, there were a few...

Big Brother 24 opens its America’s Favorite Houseguest voting on Thursday night, giving fans a shot to reward their favorite players from this season.

Everyone other than Paloma Aguilar is available to be voted on as the 2022 Afh winner. She has been disqualified due to quitting the show this summer, leaving the other 15 houseguests competing for the title.

Recently, some interesting odds on who would win Afh came out, showing that there are certainly a number of fan-favorites within the cast who could receive a lot of support.

A nice cash prize of 50,000 will be awarded to America’s choice this season, but that’s not the only prize that is being given out.

According to the Big Brother website, the 2022 Afh winner also gets a seven-day cruise for two people that has an...

Big Brother odds about who will win America’s Favorite Houseguest this summer indicate some clear favorites.

The oddsmakers don’t always get it right, but there are clearly a few people who stand out from the rest when it comes to the possibility of them winning Afh this time.

The clear favorites are Taylor Hale, Michael Bruner, Matthew Turner, and Joseph Abdin. Monte Taylor has also become more popular, but his troubling behavior toward Taylor at the start of the season puts him in a tough spot.

Michael had been the clear favorite to win Big Brother 24, especially when he was racking up challenge wins. But when Turner and Monte saw the opportunity to take him out, they couldn’t pass it up.

Now, Michael resides in the jury house, but his popularity also took a...

Every summer in the “Big Brother” house, some of the contestants are punished and forced to eat a food substance called slop. Longtime viewers have been accustomed to the slop diet since it made its bold debut in the first “All-Stars” version in 2006. Prior to that, the go-to food for houseguests was the much more edible (and less mysterious) peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. So, what are slop’s ingredients and rules, and what does it taste like? Read on for all the slop-tastic answers, if you dare.

What is the slop recipe?

Remember in “The Matrix” when people in the real world would eat gross-looking gruel because it contained all the vitamins, nutrients and minerals that a human requires to survive? Well, think of “Bb” slop as the reality TV version of that. All of the daily necessities are included so as not to leave the contestants malnourished. In...

This title comes with eternal bragging rights and a $50,000 check.

“Thank you, America!” Tiffany shouted after being hugged by all of her fellow competitors. “Hi, America. I love you guys. Thank you for giving me something.” When Julie asked if she had a message for her son at home, Tiffany jokingly replied, “Yes son, this money is all mine.” Julie...
