Big Brother fans can watch former houseguests on a range of shows this winter, giving everyone replacement shows for Reindeer Games.
As previously reported by Monsters and Critics, Big Brother: Reindeer Games 2024 was canceled. The show could return in 2025 but has been shelved for now.
Reindeer Games debuted in 2023 and featured 12 former houseguests. Nine former players competed for a nice cash prize; three were co-hosts.
Unfortunately, a new season of The Amazing Race (debuting in 2025) lacks Big Brother alums.
Many teams of Big Brother houseguests have competed in seasons of The Amazing Race, and two couples have won. Jessica Graf and Cody Nickson from BB19 won The Amazing Race 30; Claire Rehfuss and Derek Xiao from BB23 won The Amazing Race 34.
Big Brother 27 casting has also begun, so fans who want to compete can apply for the Summer 2025 season.
