Just over 48 hours remain before “Big Brother 28” kicks off. And on Tuesday, fans got their first look at the houseguests who will soon be moving in.
“Big Brother” introduced 14 houseguests competing on “Big Brother 28” throughout the summer. The announcement was made on the show’s official YouTube channel as part of its inaugural episode of “Big Brother: Broveal.”
At the end of “Big Brother: Broveal.” Julie Chen said that additional surprise Houseguests will be revealed during Thursday’s 90-minute premiere, and now they have confirmed that Survivor 50 star Rick Devens is joining the cast of Big Brother 28!
According to Entertainment Weekly, the news anchor will be one of the houseguests competing in the upcoming season of the CBS reality series. Big Brother revealed 14 of this season’s contestants on Tuesday, July 7, via their YouTube channel.
And, according to the outlet, Devens is not the only former Survivor castaway that will be on BB28. A second Survivor alum is also reported to be competing for the $750,000 grand prize, but that person’s identity has not been revealed just yet.
CBS has not confirmed reports that Devens and another Survivor contestant are joining the cast. If true, however, they wouldn’t be the only reality TV alumni on Big Brother 28. Tuesday’s cast reveal confirmed that RuPaul’s Drag Race star Salina EsTitties will also compete this season under their offstage name, Jason De Puy.
Devens first appeared on reality TV in Survivor: Edge of Extinction in 2019, where he finished in fourth place. Although he was originally brought onto Survivor 50: In the Hands of the Fans as an alternate, the fan favorite ultimately made the cast and became one of the season’s biggest standouts.
Most memorably, Devens saved himself from elimination at two consecutive Tribal Councils and doubled the $1 million grand prize to $2 million after winning a coin flip brought to the show by MrBeast. He finished in seventh place.
Devens is far from the first Survivor castaway to cross over to Big Brother. Big Brother 25 featured Cirie Fields, while Hayden Moss and Caleb Reynolds competed on Survivor after their respective Big Brother runs.
Big Brother returns to CBS and Paramount+ on Thursday, July 9. The remaining houseguests will be revealed during the premiere episode.
