Dan Gheesling was eliminated on the latest episode of The Traitors 2.
Several players clocked the Big Brother 10 winner early in the season. They then voted him out at the Roundtable on Episode 6.
It was the second straight week that a Big Brother alum was Banished, as Janelle Pierzina was eliminated previously.
This means no Big Brother people are left for when the castle guests come across Dr. Will Kirby during an upcoming episode.
Now that Dan is out of the game, he can speak freely about his time in Scotland. He also has some ideas for future seasons.
One idea Dan has shared is who he thinks should make the jump from Big Brother to The Traitors next.
Who from Big Brother should be on The Traitors 3?
Having played Big Brother twice and now being experienced on The Traitors, Dan was the perfect person to ask about fellow alums who should go to Scotland.

Big Brother Reindeer Games, the surprise hit of the holiday season, came to a close on Thursday night (December 21) as the Christmas-themed spinoff crowned its first winner. The two-week special kicked off on CBS on December 11 and saw nine former Big Brother houseguests enter “Santa’s Lodge” where they battled it out in a series of holiday-themed competitions in an effort to “save Christmas.” Those nine returning players were Xavier Prather, Taylor Hale, Nicole Franzel, Frankie Grande, Cameron Hardin, Cody Calafiore, Danielle Reyes, Josh Martinez, and Britney Haynes. The show was hosted by fellow Big Brother alumni Derek Xiao, Tiffany Mitchell, and Jordan Lloyd. Thursday’s finale came down to a face-off between Season 24 winner Hale and Season 18 winner Franzel. The pair had to scale a pile of foam pieces, navigate a maze, and build a tower out of snowflakes, and it was that last part that proved the trickiest.

Not to be hyperbolic, but “Big Brother Reindeer Games” has delivered some of the best and most exciting comps and comp results in franchise history in just three episodes so far. In the second episode, Cody Calafiore, as the Naughty and Nice challenge winner, got to pick his teammates for the Jingle Bell Brawl and assembled a comp beast dream team of his Season 16 cohorts Frankie Grande and Nicole Franzel, in addition to Xavier Prather, leaving Danielle Reyes, Josh Martinez, Britney Haynes and Taylor Hale on Team Underdogs.
But anyone who thought Cody’s super squad would dominate was very, very wrong. Even with Taylor having to decorate an extra tree as her disadvantage punishment, the underdogs breezed through the comp — and at one point were two trees ahead of Cody’s team — and pulled off the upset to secure safety. But the Season 22 champ, who was eliminated in Santa...

Big Brother has been on the air for over 23 years, delivering wild twists, quests for power, and drama.
This year's entry -- Big Brother 25 -- was the show's longest to date, clocking in at 100 days- long, resulting in one of the biggest duds in its history.
If you were in the market for twists that went nowhere, the game being randomly paused for a week thanks to a twist, and evictions not sticking, it was the season you've always been waiting for.
As a fan since the beginning, I want to forget about Big Brother Season 25 because it went on too long and didn't have the excitement of prior seasons due to the terrible pace.
While there were rumors that CBS could be prepping a Legends season for the winter as the network struggles with a lack of shows due to the strikes, we're getting something different.

It’s not nine lords a leaping but nine alums competing again in the “Big Brother” house. “Big Brother Reindeer Games” unveiled its full cast on Thursday and it’s probably who you might’ve expected.
The cast features five “Big Brother” champs — Cody Calafiore, Nicole Franzel, Taylor Hale, Josh Martinez and Xavier Prather — in addition to Season 12 America’s Favorite Player Britney Haynes and reigning Season 25 Afp Cameron Hardin. Rounding out the cast are “Bb” legends Frankie Grande and Danielle Reyes.
The inclusion of Britney, Frankie and Danielle isn’t too surprising since they were the ones who activated the multiverse on Season 25 with the Time Laser and unleashed “Reindeer Games” when they attempted to fix it on the finale last month.

During the season finale of “Big Brother 25,” perennial host Julie Chen Moonves made a big announcement about an upcoming spin-off series. “Get ready for a brand new show from the ‘Big Brother’ universe. It’s called ‘Big Brother Reindeer Games,'” teased the Chen-Bot. “It’s a new game and a new set of rules, as legendary ‘Bb’ players return to compete to be the last one standing. Six action-packed holiday-themed episodes with special appearances from ‘Bb’ favorites — Jordan Lloyd, Derek Xiao and Tiffany Mitchell — as Santa’s Elves.”
Surprisingly, the “Big Brother Reindeer Games” cast members will not live in the “Bb” house and will not vote each other out. Instead, everything will be centered about competitions. In other words, get ready to hear “Let’s go!” a lot. All six episodes will be pre-taped prior to its debut on December 11, which means there will be no live shows and no live feeds.

‘Tis the season to expect the unexpected. “Big Brother” is launching a new holiday-themed spin-off next month called “Big Brother Reindeer Games.”
As seen on Thursday’s “Big Brother 25” finale, alums Frankie Grande, Britney Haynes and Danielle Reyes broke into the house again to try to close the multiverse with the Time Laser. While they accomplished that, the house became festooned in holiday cheer because now they’ve unleashed “Reindeer Games.”
A six-episode series that will air over two weeks in December, “Reindeer Games” will feature nine “Bb” legends — including someone from Season 25 — competing in, per CBS, “the most holiday-riffic, challenging and unpredictable competitions.” They will be guided by three alums, aka Santa’s Elves, Derek Xiao, Tiffany Mitchell and Jordan Lloyd, who essentially serve as hosts (there’s no official host). Each episode includes three competitions, culminating in Santa’s Showdown, which determines who will be eliminated at the end of the hour.

“Big Brother” is back with its milestone 25th season, which premiered a little later than usual. Here’s everything to know about the season.
When will “Big Brother 25” premiere?
“Big Brother 25” premiered Wednesday, Aug. 2 at 8/7c on CBS with a live 90-minute move-in.
Why is “Big Brother 25” premiering later?
“Big Brother” usually premieres in late June or early July, as it did the past two years, but Season 25 was delayed to buy CBS’ some time with the ongoing writers’ strike. Like every network, CBS has adjusted its schedule as scripted series remain out of production. An August launch and a 100-day season mean Season 25 will conclude on Nov. 9 instead of late September. Season 22 also premiered in August in 2020 due to Covid-19 and wrapped in late October.

The 25th season of “Big Brother” is getting ready to roll, and in advance of next week’s premiere a trio of show legends crashed the house to make a big reveal.
Former Houseguests Frankie Grande, Britney Haynes and Danielle Reyes “broke into” the “Big Brother” house and unwittingly unleashed the big twist for season 25, with cameras capturing the moment as the trio rolled a “Time Laser” into the house.

Well, this is surprising.
It seemed like we were going into Big Brother Season 25 with little information about what was on tap for the houseguests.
CBS on Friday afternoon shared a surprising sneak peek ahead of Wednesday's live move-in event.
Frankie Grande, Britney Haynes, and Danielle Reyes "broke into" the revamped house that houseguests will call home and "unwittingly unleashed the season 25 twist."
Cameras captured the big moment and the moment the three Bb alums, who all famously lost their seasons, rolled a "Time Laser" into the house.
"The incident has revealed their plan was to go back in time and change the outcome of their seasons," CBS teases.
"But something went horribly wrong, and they unleashed the Big Brother season 25 twist that will be fully revealed in the special 90-minute live move-in episode Wednesday, Aug. 2 on the CBS Television Network," CBS adds.

Is summer just not the same without the reality spectacle that is Big Brother? Well, three Bb vets are here to deliver an early surprise ahead of next week’s big 90-minute premiere (which kicks off Wednesday, Aug. 2 at 8/7c on CBS), and tease a brand-new twist that will surely turn the Season 25 house upside down.

Big Brother Season 25 is nearly here, and ahead of the excitement, CBS is unveiling a fun break-in featuring vets Danielle Reyes, Frankie Grande, and Britney Haynes. The trio of former players who all famously lost their seasons were captured on camera breaking into the Big Brother house and with them was a “Time Laser,” which was intended to help them go back in time and change the outcome of their seasons. Ultimately, their plan failed, but it unleashed something else into the house, which is Season 25’s big twist.

There will, in fact, be alums in the “Big Brother 25” house this season — sort of. “Big Brother” legends Danielle Reyes, Britney Haynes and Frankie Grande “break in” to the house and unleash the season’s twist, and here is your first look at their not-so covert mission.
After sneaking in, the three also roll the Time Laser into the house. The trio’s plan is to go back in time to change the outcomes of their respective seasons — which they all “famously lost,” CBS notes — but something goes terribly wrong. As a result, they’ve transformed the house decor and accidentally ushered in the Season 25 twist — but you’ll have to wait until the live 90-minute move-in and cast reveal on Wednesday to find out exactly what the twist is.

“Big Brother” alumni Frankie Grande, Britney Haynes and Danielle Reyes have returned to the series to tease Season 25’s twist in a new video.
The video, released Friday, shows Grande, Haynes and Reyes — who all lost their seasons — “breaking in” to the “Big Brother” house. That’s when they unveil their master plan: a “time laser,” which they can use to go back in time, win everything and prevent any hot dog-related mishaps. Of course, something goes horribly wrong, and instead of changing the past, they accidentally reveal Season 25’s twist. By the looks of things, fans can look forward to a classic comic book-themed season.

We are a few short months away from the premiere of Big Brother 25 on CBS. And we’re (not so patiently) awaiting the day we know who’s in the cast, what kind of twists await the future houseguests, and what outfit host Julie Chen Moonves will wear on move-in night. But while fans contemplate the ins and outs of the upcoming season, we’re taking a concrete stand on what we don’t want to see in Big Brother 25.

This might be a hot take, but we don’t want to see the coaches twist return in the upcoming Big Brother season. As fans remember, CBS introduced the coaches twist in Big Brother 14, which featured the return of four legends — Dan Gheesling, Janelle Pierzina, Britney Haynes, and Mike “Boogie” Malin.

It’s been over 10 years since Dan Gheesling played Big Brother, but his presence is still felt on the show and within the fandom. Many viewers consider him one of the best Big Brother players ever. As a result, former and new houseguests constantly try to emulate Dan’s game. But now that the CBS reality competition series is (seemingly) a thing of the past for Dan, what has he been doing with his life?

CBS introduced fans to the legend Dan Gheesling when Big Brother 10 premiered in 2008. He was one of 13 new houseguests to enter the game. And sadly for Dan, he didn’t get off to a great start inside the house. Dan’s closest ally, Brian Hart, was the first person evicted from the game...

Is “Big Brother” on Netflix? Yes. After being on the air for more than two decades, CBS’s hit reality TV show is finally available to stream on Netflix. However, as of this writing, you can only watch two installments: Season 10, which aired in the summer of 2008, and Season 14, which took place in the summer of 2012. If you’re looking for seasons other than 10 and 14, we suggest you check out Paramount Plus instead, as that streamer has the rights to the entire “Big Brother” catalogue.
Here is how the Netflix platform describes the addictive reality series, which is based on the Dutch program of the same name: “In the ultimate test of strategy and social skills, contestants spend the summer in a house under 24/7 surveillance, vying for a 500,000 prize.” Julie Chen Moonves has hosted the CBS show since Season 1 in 2000 and its iconic motto is “Expect the Unexpected.”

For the second week in a row, a “Big Brother 23” double eviction left the so-called pawn stunned. Last week, Hannah shocked Alyssa when she told her she was nominating her, leading to the final non-Cookout houseguest’s eviction. On Thursday, the tables were turned when Azah told Hannah she was putting up her and Xavier with the intention of booting the latter. Hannah did not understand why Azah wouldn’t nominate Kyland, but she did understand that she was doomed unless she won Veto. She didn’t, and to make matters worse, Ky won it and saved X, making Derek F. the renom, and they cast the 2-0 vote to evict her.
The 21-year-old sounds off below on Azah’s “dumb move” of nominating her, how Kyland’s “insulting” and how her game wound up being the complete opposite of how she had planned on playing.

After more than 20 years on the air, Big Brother has more House Guests than most of us can even remember. Still, there are a few people who have stood out over the years. Britney Haynes is one of them. During her time as a House Guest during seasons 12 and 14, Britney quickly became a fan favorite. Her sense of humor and fun personality made her a wiz at the social game and a subsequent reality TV star. In 2019, she returned to the reality world as a contestant on The Amazing Race.

With Cody Calafiore winning his second Head of Household competition this week on “Big Brother 22” and continuing the streak of his alliance strictly nominating players outside their group, we must ask the question: how does The Committee rank against the great alliances in Bb history? Cody has been aligned with Christmas Abbott, Nicole Franzel, Memphis Garrett, Tyler Crispen and Dani Briones in a so-far-unbreakable alliance of six since Memphis corralled the group during his own Hoh reign in week 2. As of this week, they have won 7/8 Hoh and 5/8 Power of Veto comps.

“Big Brother” Season 7 brought us the first ever “America’s Choice Jury Prize.” It was later renamed to “America’s Favorite Houseguest” to include all contestants as contenders for the coveted honor. On each finale night, host Julie Chen Moonves awards a $25,000 check to the “Bb” player with the most votes cast by America. As of 2020, Jeff Schroeder is the only player to win the prize twice.

The Head-to-Head Battle on “The Amazing Race” is a headache, but it doesn’t have to. In a recent poll, 55 percent of readers said the twist needs to be moved earlier in a leg instead of being right before the Pit Stop.
In various international versions of the show, the Head-to-Head, a divisive twist in which two teams face off with the losing team facing the next team to arrive and so on, occurs earlier in the leg. But when it was introduced last season on the U.S. version, it was placed right before the Pit Stop, so the final losing team has no recourse, and it could nullify everything you’d already done on the leg. Moving the Head-to-Head to the middle of the leg would be a nice compromise, so whoever comes in last still has a chance of catching up. It’s just like having the...

Still perplexed about that “Big Brother” beef on “The Amazing Race” after our super accurate dissemination of it? Don’t worry, now the parties involved have weighed in to clear the air.
In the latest episode of their podcast Coco Caliente, Nicole Franzel and Victor Arroyo give an in-depth account of their side of the drama with Rachel Reilly and Elissa Slater, which ostensibly erupted in Wednesday’s episode after the Reilly sisters told the couple that Team Fun, Becca Droz and Floyd Pierce, wanted to U-Turn them, but kept backtracking and changing details so much that Nic and Vic wanted to ask Team Fun about it. “Well, I think people are confused,” Nicole says early in the episode. Understatement of the year.

Another leg on “The Amazing Race,” another leg win by an “Amazing Race” team. The “Race” alums kept their hot streak alive on Wednesday’s episode when Tyler Oakley and Korey Kuhl came in first for the second consecutive leg. That brings the “Race” duos’ perfect leg win record to 7 for 7, but we also marked another milestone on the other end of the spectrum with the Leg 7 results. Nicole Franzel and Victor Arroyo getting saved by the non-elimination leg means that every non-“Race” team has come in last now.
The season started with five “Race” teams, three from “Survivor” and three from “Big Brother.” Outside of Art Velez and Jj Carrell‘s Leg 1 elimination — which was caused by Art’s literal leg issues, spurring their four-hour penalty — it’s clear racers have been superior on a show they’ve done before.

So we were partially right. The “Big Brother” feud between Rachel Reilly and Elissa Slater, and Nicole Franzel and Victor Arroyo on Wednesday’s “The Amazing Race” involved a U-Turn, but not the U-Turn Vote (that’s next week — that Swiss flag don’t lie!). Instead, their argument was about… well, we don’t blame you if you have no idea. So let’s try to break this down.
It all started when the Reilly sisters ostensibly let bygones be bygones with Team Fun, Becca Droz and Floyd Pierce, whom they had U-Turned on Leg 2, over beers with the Afghanimals, Leo Temory and Jamal Zadran, before their flight to Zurich. Team Fun and the Afghanimals agreed that the top U-Turn targets going forward are Colin Guinn and Christie Woods, and Nicole and Victor, given their high finishes so far. Rachel and Elissa were not on board since they had formed...

The first rule of “The Amazing Race” is to always read your clue. Janelle Pierzina definitely did not do that on Leg 6, thinking she was looking for a literal Rolex watch during the Roadblock in Uganda when rolex is just the punny nickname of a chapati dish comprised of rolled eggs. So she spent what felt like half the episode walking around a Ugandan market, dropping her and Britney Haynes to last place.
Their final glimmer of hope to stay in the game, the Head-to-Head Battle, didn’t shake out well either, with Britney losing the drum task to her one-time “Big Brother” enemy and now close pal Rachel Reilly.
So why didn’t Janelle take another gander at her clue? And when did Britney find out how clueless (no pun intended) Janelle was? Find out below!

For the fifth and sixth times this season on “The Amazing Race,” a “Race” team has won both legs. Team Fun, Becca Droz and Floyd Pierce, scored their second first-place finish on Leg 5 after also taking Leg 3, while Tyler Oakley and Korey Kuhl came in first on Leg 6. Those follow Leo Temory and Jamal Zadran‘s twin wins on the first two legs, and Colin Guinn and Christie Woods‘ triumph on Leg 4. Yup, a non-“Race” team still hasn’t won a leg and we’re halfway through the season now. Can this “Race” domination continue or will someone break through?
Of course, it makes total sense that the “Race” alums have been doing well, especially in the early goings. This ain’t their first rodeo. But it is kind of hilarious and also perfect that they’ve still had a stranglehold on first place, as if to say, “This is my house!

After a cry-fest at the mat with the #MomSquad Janelle Pierzina, Britney Haynes, Rachel Reilly and Elissa Slater on Wednesday’s “The Amazing Race,” the preview for next week’s episode teased a far less cordial interaction between the Reilly sisters and their “Big Brother” brethren Nicole Franzel and Victor Arroyo.
All we know from the preview is that they’re arguing on a train. Actually, it’s more like Rachel lashing out while Nicole and Victor stand there silently, and Elissa tells Rachel to calm down. Then we get another scene of Nicole saying she doesn’t want to hurt anybody and Rachel shutting her down, telling her not to play the victim, as Victor attempts to roll his eyes to the furthest point back of his head. Tag yourself. I’m Victor.

After getting edited out of the fourth leg, the Head-to-Head returned on the sixth leg on Wednesday’s “The Amazing Race.” It took out Janelle Pierzina and Britney Haynes, who lost the final face-off to their “Big Brother” pals Rachel Reilly and Elissa Slater. If you don’t like the Head-to-Head, you were Ok with that outcome since Janelle and Britney were already last. If you like or are even just indifferent to the Head-to-Head, you probably were like, “What even was the point of that? It didn’t change anything.” So we gotta ask: Is the Head-to-Head the lamest “Amazing Race” twist?
Introduced last season, the Head-to-Head has already been on numerous international editions of “Amazing Race.” The premise is mostly the same — two teams battle against each other with the losing team facing off against the next arriving team and so on — but they all occur at different...

Fifth time’s the charm? Only alums from “The Amazing Race” have won the first four legs of Season 31 so far, which makes sense since this ain’t their first rodeo like it is for the “Survivor” and “Big Brother” teams. That streak will end eventually and 78 percent of our readers believe it will be Nicole Franzel and Victor Arroyo who do it.
Team Vicole is by far the safest bet. The “Big Brother” couple has performed the best out of the non-“Race” teams, notching three straight second-place finishes after coming in sixth the first leg. Two of those silvers could’ve been golds: Nicole was tricked by the Afghanimals in the second leg, who told her she was going the wrong way, and she and Victor were neck and neck with Colin Guinn and Christie Woods heading to the Pit Stop on Leg 4, but actually went the wrong way this time.

Four weeks into “The Amazing Race 31,” the only teams to have won legs are, well, “Race” alums. The Afghanimals, Leo Temory and Jamal Zadran, won the first two, followed by Team Fun, Becca Droz and Floyd Pierce, who dominated Leg 3, and Season 5 runners-up Colin Guinn and Christie Woods recovered from a Detour flub to take Leg 4 on Wednesday. It’s no surprise that the “Race” veterans are ruling the course right now, but which non-“Race” team — there’s one “Survivor” duo left, while all three “Big Brother” ones are still around — will be the one to end this streak?
The obvious answer is Nicole Franzel and Victor Arroyo. As Phil Keoghan noted in Wednesday’s episode, the “Big Brother” lovebirds have performed the best out of all the “Survivor” and “Big Brother” teams, finishing sixth, second, second and second. They probably would’ve won the second leg if not...

Corinne Kaplan and Eliza Orlins may have nothing against Rachel Reilly and Elissa Slater now, but if you ask Janelle Pierzina and Britney Haynes, they definitely did during “The Amazing Race 31.”
“Corinne and Eliza are not fans of the Reilly sisters at all,” Britney says in a deleted scene (watch above). “So if they see us talking to the Reilly sisters, they get jealous. They’re, like, mad.”
“Or they’ll talk sh–,” Janelle adds. “Like if I walk up to Eliza and Corinne, they’ll start talking sh– about the Reilly sisters, like, ‘Oh my God, when she asked you for that gummy bear, were you pissed?’ I’ll be like [faking it], ‘Yeah, I was so pissed. I didn’t want to give it to her.'”

Whatever the drama was...

This will chart high on the Fun-o-Meter. In a recent poll, 28 percent of our readers believe that Team Fun, Becca Droz and Floyd Pierce, have been the most impressive team on “The Amazing Race 31” so far, which is already a quarter-way done.
Now it could just be recency bias here since Team Fun came out on top last week, crushing both performance-based tasks, dancing and karaoke-ing, which seemed made for them. Their average placement would probably be higher if they hadn’t been U-Turned on the second leg, making them hit the mat in ninth place, following their fifth-place finish in Leg 1. But to go from last to first is nothing to sneeze at.
In second with 24 percent of the vote are Nicole Franzel and Victor Arroyo. The “Big Brother” couple has done the best out of the “Survivor” and “Big Brother” racers, nabbing back-to-back second place finishes to go...

“The Amazing Race” is taking a detour into the water this week. Because that’s what the Detour options are.
New press photos for Leg 4, which again takes place in Ho Chi Minh City, reveal the Detour choices for the remaining nine teams — and who picked what. The options are to row a traditional Vietnamese basket boat to pick up items (the next clue?) or to build a water wheel. And just like the past two weeks, one of these was definitely the more popular choice.
Seven teams opted for the boat: Janelle Pierzina and Britney Haynes; Chris Hammons and Bret Labelle; Tyler Oakley and Korey Kuhl; Corinne Kaplan and Eliza Orlins; Becca Droz and Floyd Pierce; Colin Guinn and Christie Woods; and Nicole Franzel and Victory Arroyo.

We’re three legs into “The Amazing Race 31,” which has already dismissed a “Race” team and a “Survivor” team, and has given us the first non-elimination leg of the season. A quarter of the season is now over, so who has been the best racers so far?
At first blush, it might feel like the Afghanimals, Leo Temory and Jamal Zadran, since they won the first two legs. But then they ran a terrible third leg in Vietnam and barely scraped by in eighth place. They’ve also managed to fool everyone with their fake fights and wrong directions, so either everybody this season is gullible as hell or the Afghanimals deserve an Emmy.
The Afghanimals’ three-peat was thwarted by Becca Droz and Floyd Pierce. Team Fun ran a stellar leg in Vietnam, granted they were helped tremendously by the performing tasks that were right up their alley. Still, after...
