Big Brother Reindeer Games, a new reality series from CBS that will take a different tack from the well-known American reality series Big Brother, is about to premiere. This holiday edition of the show, which is being published, will feature housemates from past Big Brother seasons.
Shortly before the first edition of the competition show aired, the producers finally disclosed the names of the contestants and program hosts. The three hosts of the program are confirmed to be former Big Brother house members Derek Xiao, Tiffany Mitchell, and Jordan Lloyd.
Furthermore, six episodes will be ready in just two weeks, according to the creators. Each episode will end with one contestant being sent home, and only one winner from the final show will take home the prize and winning title.
In the Big Brother universe, the show is now being pushed as a holiday special. It was created to fill the hole left by the 2023 SAG strike. Their name will be Santa’s Elves, and their mission is to create a festive atmosphere throughout the entire space. It is expected that the final episode of the show will air before December 25, 2023.
Unlike earlier seasons of Big Brother, this one has already been filmed so that fans won’t be treated to any in-the-moment pictures of the contestants, and by the time the first episode airs, the finale will already be finished.
Recap
Cameron Hardin was eliminated on the first episode of Big Brother: Reindeer Games. In the Santa’s Showdown competition, Xavier Prather defeated him. Cameron (of BB25) was selected in a prior task by the other houseguests, and Frankie Grande paired him with Xavier for the elimination round.
Frankie, Nicole Franzel, and Cody Calafiore, the three Big Brother 16 contestants, reunited in well-known alliances. Before the trials that night, people were shown scheming. It seemed like Frankie was trying to make amends and wanted to make sure he and Xavier were okay.
Nicole talked to Cody, and Britney Haynes discussed bringing Cody out with Danielle Reyes. Co-host of Reindeer Games Jordan Lloyd arrived with another puzzle featuring a Christmas song. Jordan also promised a “game-changing” advantage to the winner of the Naughty or Nice challenge.
The contestants had to race—and run into each other—to see who could finish first since there were clues hidden throughout the house. The first person to solve the riddle would not only get to choose who would suffer a disadvantage, but they would also gain an advantage.
Xavier claimed to have thrown it during a diary room session. Furthermore, Britney said that the stress level in Episode 1 was too high, which is why she didn’t want to win during a diary room session. The first challenge of the evening was won by Cody. Taylor Hale was afraid someone would pick her apart.
Santa is inviting nine well-known Big Brother alumni to his magical domain, the Reindeer Games, one of whom is a member of the cast of Big Brother 25. Every episode has three competitions leading up to “Santa’s Showdown,” where the winner of that particular episode’s competition decides who gives up on the game.
