Big Brother Reindeer Games 2023 is nothing like original in wild series shakeup Fri 10 November

Big Brother’s Reindeer Games 2023 will see nine former cast members make their comeback. Don’t expect the CBS show to be anything like the original, though. The houseguests aren’t even living together for the two-week festive special, but one BB25 star is making their return.

At the end of the Big Brother 25 finale, it was announced that a new edition of the long-running reality TV show would be hitting our screens. The CBS series is still competing for the cash, but the entire format is completely different. Not even the original host, Julie Chen, will be there to explain what’s happening.

Big Brother Reindeer Games

Big Brother Reindeer Games airs on December 11, 2023. Although the cast has been kept a secret, former legends Danielle Reyes, Britney Godwin, and Frankie Grande all featured in the spin-off promo.

The entire series will be filmed before the premiere episode, meaning that the show is not being shot in real-time like the original. Six episodes over two weeks will air, with a player sent off during each episode.

One part of the original show is being upheld, though, and that’s a whopping $100K on the line! A time laser was set off to tease the upcoming Reindeer Games which features nine former players.

Hosts are three former BB players

Called Santa’s Elves, Jordan Lloyd, the winner of season 11 and from season 13, as well as season 23’s Derek Xiao and Tiffany Mitchell, will be the hosts of Big Brother Reindeer Games.

So say goodbye to Julie Chen for this season, who needs a much-needed rest after BB25, the longest series in the history of the reality show! However, rest assured, nine familiar faces are coming back.

That includes a Big Brother 25 contestant who has only just finished filming the OG show. One fan reacted to the new show: “I did not sit through that stupid segment to find out we’re getting reindeer games.”

They’re not living together

Unlike the usual Big Brother set-up, in which we can watch the live feeds and see what goes on in the house, we won’t see the Reindeer Games Big Brother cast living together.

They also will not be voting each other out. Instead, the BB alumni will be doing battle in “the most holiday-riffic, challenging and unpredictable competitions,” according to the network.

Each episode will feature three competitions called Santa’s Showdown which influences which player is eliminated at the end of an episode. Four players will make it to the finale.
