It’s time for reality television to get a reality check when it comes to LGBTQ+ representation, according to “Big Brother” and “RuPaul’s Drag Race” stars Frankie Grande and Peppermint.

The reality TV icons teamed up with GLAAD to pen an open letter to casting directors, producers, creatives and other innovators on Wednesday, urging the genre to showcase the queer community more authentically and at a rate that more closely reflects its prominence in American society.

“I think there needs to be an industry-wide change, not just casting. I’ll use my experience on ‘The Traitors’ as an example,” Peppermint shared. “I wanted so desperately to be able to show the rest of the world, the rest of the audience, the rest of the viewership that trans people are just like anybody else. And I think that really does reflect how a lot of trans people feel right now.”

“I...

It’s no secret that Drew Barrymore and Reese Witherspoon know a thing or two when it comes to romance. That’s why when the romcom royals pitched a romantic twist for a future season of “The Amazing Race,” host Phil Keoghan was all ears.

While teasing Season 37 of the CBS competition series, Keoghan revealed how the actress’ idea for a Valentine’s Day-themed season echoed a twist he’s long had in mind himself.

“I ran into Drew Barrymore and Reese Witherspoon in a bar in New York like a week, two weeks ago. I knew Drew because I did ‘Hollywood Squares’ with her and I’ve met her a few times,” he told TheWrap. “They both stopped me and they were like, ‘Hey, have you ever thought about a Valentine’s season?’ and then I said, ‘Well, are you guys offering to be on the show?'”

Some exciting rumors reveal that an upcoming season of The Amazing Race will serve as a Big Brother crossover.

Big Brother alums have played The Amazing Race before, but this new season will reportedly have a former houseguest on each team.

The producers have seen former houseguests succeed in the race, leading to a push to add even more for a future season.

Jessica Graf and Cody Nickson from Big Brother 19 won a season of The Amazing Race.

Several years later, Derek Xiao and Claire Rehfuss from Big Brother 23 also won The Amazing Race.

Big Brother legends Rachel Reilly, Nicole Franzel, Britney Haynes, and Janelle Pierzina have also appeared on The Amazing Race.

That $1 million prize is a great incentive to get more people on the show. It has reportedly worked.

Reality TV has given us countless unscripted moments that we can’t forget and Big Brother stands out as one of the most iconic shows in this genre. Since 2000 the show has aired for 26 seasons giving away its considerable prize pool to the winners. These winners didn’t just win the game, they also won the hearts of most of the audience watching them.

For the first time in Big Brother’s history, in season 10 of the show,...

Fans of The Traitors US will see Britney Haynes as a player in Season 3.

Britney is one of the 20+ players invited to the Scottish Highlands to compete for part of a $250,000 prize.

Her background in reality television competitions should help her, but anything can happen on a show like this.

Here’s a link to the Traitors 3 cast list showcasing Britney’s competition.

The season premiere arrives on January 9, with a new episode debuting each Thursday night this winter.

The first two seasons of The Traitors US are streaming on Peacock for fans who haven’t seen them yet.

Britney Haynes is on the cast for The Traitors US 3

TV viewers met Britney Haynes as a Big Brother 12 cast member. She was on the first season featuring Rachel Reilly, Brendon Villegas, and Enzo Palumbo.

Rachel would later become the Big Brother 13 winner and Enzo was the runner-up on Big Brother:...

The last time reality fans saw Corinne Olympios on screen, it was for House of Villains‘ inaugural season, battling it out with other reality baddies for the chance to win a big prize. For her next TV adventure, she’s taking a slightly more charitable route … even if she’s still being labeled a “villain” in the process! Olympios is one of 10 celebrity contestants on the newest celebrity edition of Worst Cooks in America, which premieres on January 5 at 8/7c. She’ll star on Team Villain alongside her former Hov roomie and I Love New York star Tiffany “New York” Pollard, The Challenge alum Wes Bergmann, Love Is Blind‘s Bartisse Bowden, and Amazing Race alum Rachel Reilly. On Team Hero, we’ll see singer Sebastian Bach, Dancing With the Stars pro Cheryl Burke, Big Brother‘s Frankie Grande, Olympian Adam Rippon, and RuPaul’s Drag Race star Trinity the Tuck.

A new season of Worst Cooks in America is beginning on Food Network.

Two Big Brother alums are among the players, as this is another season of its celebrity spin-off.

Ten celebrities are involved in the new season, and the players are split up into teams of heroes and villains.

Worst Cooks in America is a Food Network show that brings together some terrible cooks to improve their abilities in the kitchen.

A $25,000 check is on the line for the most-improved cook, and it also comes with a nice ego boost for the winner.

As previously reported by Monsters and Critics, chefs Jeff Mauro and Antonia Lofaso will try to turn these terrible cooks into kitchen masters.

Could one of the Big Brother alums of this new season emerge as the winner?

Below is the cast list for Worst Cooks in America Celebrity Edition: Heroes vs.

Many Big Brother 26 alums were in Florida for an event this weekend. It was a fun BB26 cast reunion with the former houseguests signing autographs for fans.

Additional Big Brother alums from the past were also on hand for the Over The Edge Celebrity Event.

As a quick reminder, Chelsie Baham won Big Brother 26 in a one-sided vote over Makensy Manbeck.

The BB26 cast featured Quinn Martin, Matt Hardeman, Cedric Hodges, Kenney Kelley, Leah Peters, and third-place finisher Cam Sullivan-Brown (among others).

Tucker Des Lauriers won America’s Favorite Houseguest and was involved in a showmance with Rubina Bernabe.

Rubina and Tucker recently updated fans on their romance. The couple has taken their relationship to the next level and is no longer just a showmance.

Big Brother is represented on The Traitors again this winter, joining the various other reality shows that sent players to Scotland.

Two Big Brother alums appeared in each of the first two seasons of The Traitors US. Viewers saw Cody Calafiore and Rachel Reilly in Season 1 and Dan Gheesling and Janelle Pierzina in Season 2.

Big Brother 2 winner Dr. Will Kirby had a guest appearance in the second season as a staged cabin owner (with wolves) in the Scottish forest.

Danielle Reyes and Britney Haynes are in the mix for The Traitors Season 3, but they must contend with 19 other people competing for the $250,000 prize pool.

Danielle was on BB3 and Big Brother All-Stars, while Britney was on BB12 and BB14. The ladies also played on Big Brother: Reindeer Games last winter.

Will Danielle or Britney be chosen as Traitors? We will have to tune in to find out this winter!

Throughout the history of reality TV, there have been a lot of villains that became hated and famous. With that in mind, House of Villains is a brilliant idea for a show since players like Tiffany "New York" Pollard have a long history of entertaining people and Teresa Giudice fans love her unhinged antics. With all that in mind and the fact that one House of Villains star was hated by a legend, it makes sense that the show has had some must-see episodes.

Despite everything that is great about House of Villains, the show definitely isn't perfect. In fact, House of Villains fans pointed out that the show has a major problem that ruins it and needs to change immediately.

Why House Of Villains Fans Think The Ending Is The Worst Part Of The Show

In many ways, it could be argued that House of Villains is the ultimate reality show.

Co-Hosts Jeff Mauro and Antonia Lofaso, Heroes Trinity the Tuck, Adam Rippon, Sebastian Bach, Frankie Grande and Cheryl Burke, Villains Corinne Olympios, Rachel Reilly, Bartise Bowden, Tiffany Pollard and Wes Bergmann, as seen on Worst Cooks in America, Season 28, Heroes Vs Villians Get ready for a fiery new season of Worst Cooks in America Celebrity Edition, where reality TV’s biggest heroes and villains trade in their drama for dish towels! Premiering Sunday, January 5th at 8pm Et/Pt on Food Network, this season promises epic culinary showdowns and hilarious kitchen chaos. Chef Jeff Mauro is back, and he’s joined by newcomer Chef Antonia Lofaso to whip these celebrity recruits into shape. But this isn’t your average cooking competition. This time, it’s a battle between good and evil! Leading the charge for Team Hero is Chef Jeff Mauro, who’s assembled a squad of reality TV favorites.

Are Big Brother alums among the Worst Cooks in America? We will soon find out when a new season of the hit cooking show debuts this winter.

Worst Cooks in America is a Food Network show that brings together some terrible cooks to improve their abilities in the kitchen. Sometimes it involves celebrities.

The most-improved cook walks away with an ego boost and a $25,000 check to the charity of their choice.

A new season of the show is called Worst Cooks in America Celebrity Edition: Heroes vs. Villains.

Returning mentor Chef Jeff Mauro welcomes newcomer Chef Antonia Lofaso. Together, they will try to turn these terrible cooks into kitchen masters.

But since this new season is entrenched with many familiar faces from reality television, expect lots of drama in the kitchen.

Who is on Worst Cooks in America Celebrity Edition: Heroes vs. Villains?

Below is the cast list for Worst Cooks in America...

The Food Network will be celebrating the new year with some famous chefs and questionable dishes. TheWrap has your exclusive first look at the lineup for “Worst Cooks in America: Celebrity Edition: Heroes vs. Villains.”

The upcoming season, which will be the 28th installment of the reality cooking competition show, will premiere on Jan. 5, 2025, at 8 p.m. Et/Pt with a two-hour premiere. It also marks the 8th celebrity iteration, and the first ever to not feature Chef Anne Burrell.

Team Hero will include Skid Row singer Sebastian Bach; “Dancing With the Stars” pro Cheryl Burke; actor, dancer and “Big Brother” Season 16 contestant Frankie Grande; Olympic figure skater and “Stars on Mars” winner Adam Rippon; and “RuPaul’s Drag Race” winner Trinity the Tuck. As for Team Villain, that will...

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.

Big Brother alums head to Scotland for The Traitors 3

A new season...

Now that the reality show Big Brother has been around for more than two decades, a lot has happened in the show's history. For example, there have been a slew of twists, someone prevailed during the first season, fans have learned how much the houseguests get paid, and the first woman won the game. Throughout all those events and more, fans have always had strong opinions about it all.

Of course, there are some things that fans especially like to debate, like how to rank every season and if Big Brother is one of the best reality competition shows. Similarly, there are a lot of fans who have very strong opinions about which Big Brother winners are the worst in the show's history.

Why Some Big Brother Fans Named Rachel Reilly As One Of The Worst Winners Ever

Among Big Brother's millions of viewers, some of the most passionate...

One of the biggest reasons Big Brother is widely recognized as one of the best reality shows ever is because of how invested fans are in the show. After all, Big Brother fans care about things like ranking every season, what happened to the first winner, and where the first female winner is now. On top of that, Big Brother viewers also want what is best for the players, so they hope they get paid well and they were rooting for Adam Jasinski throughout his struggles and recovery.

On the other hand, sometimes Big Brother fans reject a houseguest because they are concerned about the other players. A perfect example of that is the fact that many Big Brother fans were outraged that Jc Mounduix wasn't ejected from the house.

Why Many Big Brother Fans Think Jc Mounduix Should Have Been Ejected

During Big Brother 20, Jc Mounduix lasted so long...

Throughout Big Brother's history, the popular reality show has aired many seasons that fans loved to rank. As a result, the show has featured many houseguests including the first winner, the first female winner, and Adam Jasinski, who went on to struggle a lot before his recovery. One thing that every Big Brother houseguest has known is that the show features a lot of twists, many of which have helped it become one of the best competition reality shows.

Sadly for Big Brother's most passionate fans, however, the unfortunate truth is that the show has also featured some truly awful twists. According to Big Brother's biggest fans, one of the show's twists is just the absolute worst.

Why Night One Evictions Are The Worst Big Brother Twist Ever, According To Fans

When someone becomes a huge fan of a reality show, one of the things that make...

Since Big Brother is one of the longest running reality shows ever, many fans have lost track of several players from the past. For example, many Big Brother fans don't know what happened to the first winner, how Adam Jasinskis life changed after the show, and where the first female winner is now. Instead, many fans are more interested in ranking Big Brother seasons, tracking who found love in the house, talking about Big Brother 26's twists, and thinking about the best players ever.

Among most Big Brother fans, Dr. Will Kirby, Janelle Pierzina, and Rachel Reilly are all recognized as legendary players. For that reason, it was amazing when The Traitors led to Janelle and Rachel calling out Dr. Will. After that, Dr. Will provided TheThings with an exclusive reaction to Janelle and Rachel.

Big Brother 26 winner Chelsie Baham has established herself as a legend of the reality competition series because of her phenomenal gameplay. Chelsie won Big Brother 26 after Makensy Manbeck became the final Head of Household (Hoh) and brought her to the end of the game with her instead of Cam Sullivan-Brown. Chelsie had won Part 1 of the final Hoh competition, while Makensy had won Part 2. The two women then faced off in Part 3, which Makensy won.

Throughout Big Brother 26, Chelsie navigated the game very well. From her competition wins to her social game, she proved that she's a new Big Brother legend. Here's why Chelsie will go down in history as one of the best players and winners in the history of the show.

Evicted Big Brother 26 houseguest Rubina Bernabe revealed that she wants to continue her relationship with Tucker Des Lauriers after the show. Four place finished Rubina, a 35-year-old event bartender from Los Angeles, CA, and Tucker, a 30-year-old marketing and sales executive originally from Boston, Ma, but currently living in Brooklyn, NY, secretly began a showmance in the early weeks of Big Brother 26. However, they eventually revealed their relationship to their fellow houseguests. Tucker was evicted during week 6, but he expressed that he'd like to continue their romance outside of the show.

Rubina shared that she'd like to continue her Big Brother 26 showmance with Tucker in the real world.

In an interview with EW, Rubina shared that she'd like to continue her Big Brother 26 showmance with Tucker in the real world. When asked what her future with Tucker looked like outside of the house, Rubina responded, "Oh my gosh, how was...

Warning! This Article Contains Spoilers About Big Brother 26!As she heads to the jury house, evicted Big Brother 26 houseguest Leah Peters hinted at a potential showmance with Quinn Martin. Throughout Big Brother 26, Quinn had a crush on Leah, but she thought of him as a friend. When their fellow houseguests tried to intervene by playing a game in which they wanted Leah to kiss Quinn, she told everyone that it wasn't her style, and she reserves her kisses.

However, later, when Quinn asked Leah if she didn't want to kiss him at all, or if it was because, strategically, it wasn't a good idea, Leah told him that it was probably the second reason. In the Diary Room, Leah even confessed that she thought that she might have a crush on Quinn. When she was evicted, Leah told host Julie Chen Moonves that she couldn't wait to see Quinn in the jury house.

After over ten years of serving as the Big Brother Jury Round Table host, Big Brother legend and season 2 winner Dr. Will Kirby has announced that he's stepping down from the role. During the Big Brother Jury Round Table, Will sat down with the jury to discuss who they thought should win the $750,000 grand prize. Will began hosting the Jury Round Table during Big Brother 15, and continued through Big Brother 25. In Big Brother 22 and 23, Will couldn't host due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

I can confirm that I will not be serving as the Big Brother jury roundtable host this season. It's simply time to hang up the proverbial cleats. The run I've had on the show, first as contestant and then as a host, is practically unheard of but nothing lasts forever; I am ready to pass the reality television baton!

According to Parade, Will stated that he won't...

Congratulations to Haleigh Broucher and Alex Caruso!

The Big Brother alum got engaged to the NBA player and she shared it all on social media.

Haleigh was part of the Big Brother 20 cast, playing the game during the Summer of 2018.

She had a strong alliance, but they turned on themselves as the Level Six alliance (the other side of the house) planted seeds of doubt.

Tyler Crispen, Angela Rummans, and Kaycee Clark led the Level Six alliance, with Kaycee beating out Tyler to become the Big Brother 20 winner on finale night.

Haleigh finished in seventh place that summer, but she was an interesting player and should get invited back for a second chance.

In Season 22, Cody beat Enzo Palumbo with a 9-0 jury vote. It was only the second time in “Bb” history that somebody won unanimously, after Dan Gheesling in Season 10. This was an “All-Stars” season that welcomed back 16 fan-faves from the previous two decades, who all had to quarantine before filming began due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Love her or hate her, Angela Murray just entered the “Big Brother” record books for quite an impressive accomplishment. The Season 26 firebrand is now the seventh person throughout the reality TV show’s history to win Head of Household twice during the first four weeks of gameplay. The last time this rare feat happened was during “BB18” with Paulie Calafiore, which means we’ve had eight seasons without a repeat Hoh within the first four weeks.

Prior to Angela and Paulie, there was Shelli Poole in “BB17,” Frankie Grande in “BB16,” Rachel Reilly in “BB13” and in “BB12,” Jessie Godderz in “BB11,” and Janelle Pierzina in “BB7.”

Big Brother 26 spoilers from the Live Feeds have revealed the Week 3 nominees.

The cast returned to work after evicting Lisa Weintraub to end Week 2.

Lisa was shocked about the outcome, and so was Angela Murray. Somehow, Angela survived another week, which likely hints at more chaos coming.

Following that August 1 Eviction Ceremony, the BB26 cast played a new head of Household Competition.

Cedric Hodges won the latest challenge, giving him the power to make big decisions during Week 3.

It also meant another week of people volunteering to go on the block; something that has become frustrating to Big Brother fans.

Who did Cedric nominate for eviction on Big Brother 26?

The Week 3 Nomination Ceremony happened on Friday (August 2). Ahead of it, Cedric had several people volunteer to be pawns.

The definition of a pawn has shifted a lot during recent seasons of Big Brother. Gone is the feeling that a pawn...

The Big Brother 26 cast was revealed, and their pre-show interviews were given.

One of the questions each houseguest is typically asked is who they will model their games after.

The answers to that question can sometimes reveal whether a new houseguest is a Big Brother fan.

Sometimes, when people state who they most identify with, it also teases how they will play the game.

Here’s a link to the BB26 cast list for anyone who hasn’t seen it yet. This summer, 16 new players are competing for a $750,000 prize.

One of those players is a former undercover cop.

The Big Brother 25 season featured several showmances and even a mother-son duo.

Survivor legend Cirie Fields got to play with her son, Jared Fields, creating the first duo that summer.

But several showmances also became very pronounced, and we aren’t speaking about the relationship between Matt Klotz and Reilly Smedley that was doomed from the start.

Jared and Blue Kim became a showmance on one side of the house. America Lopez and Cory Wurtenberger began snuggling up as well.

Jared and Blue had rough patches in the BB25 house, and their relationship didn’t last in the real world.

America and Cory stayed strong in the game and even continued their relationship in the BB25 jury house.

To quickly recap how that season ended, 21-year-old college student Cory was voted out in eighth place on Day 79. It was on Day 86 that 27-year-old medical receptionist America got voted out. They...

Big Brother 26 has released its theme for the new season. The entire house is colorful and will include AI, which should be polarizing to fans based on the controversies surrounding it in current times. However, BB26 is leaning into it, and it should provide a lot of fun for the current season.

Here is a look at the new theme for BB26.

The New Big Brother 26 Theme

The new theme for Big Brother 26 is Artificial intelligence. While many fans might disagree with the idea, Big Brother has been embracing technological advances on the show for some time.

Big Brother 26 | YouTube

During Big Brother 20, the show added a bit of technology with the Bb App Store. This was a hacker twist to the competition’s higher-tech themes. The new Bb AI theme will also deliver some surprises with unpredictability as the AI designs different things for the Houseguests to deal with.

A new book called The Big Brother Bible has been released.

Covering the history of the hit reality competition show, this could be a fun read for die-hard fans.

As the Big Brother 26 season draws closer, the book could provide entertainment when the live feeds are down this summer.

Many folks were interviewed for this book, including host Julie Chen Moonves and alums like Janelle Pierzina and BB13 winner Rachel Reilly.

Written by Brody Stuart-Verner, it advertises “25 Years of America’s Summertime Guilty Pleasure” inside.

Even die-hard fans could learn some new things from this book, as people involved in casting and production also revealed some secrets.

What is The Big Brother Bible?

Set to debut on July 17, 2024, the twenty-sixth season of the hit summer reality extravaganza Big Brother is ready to glue its fans to the live-feed 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The show has even spawned its own lingo that has pervaded the lexicon. Throughout its history, Big Brother has never been shy about its outlandish, controversial, or shocking twists. They've had a season where long-lost siblings discovered each other in the house while twins played as one, twice. There have been secret pairs, arch nemesis, and exes galore. And if the cryptic teaser trailer is any indication, another twist will rock the house. In the teaser trailer for Big Brother 26, voices of past players can be heard in iconic moments...

Big Brother alum Felicia Cannon is home and shared images of herself relaxing next to the pool.

Earlier this month, Felicia asked her followers for prayers.

Before that request, Felicia revealed that she was in the hospital for colitis.

Nicole and Cliff nearly reached the end, but Cliff finished in fourth place, and Nicole settled for third.

The first-ever Postgame Cruise is happening in 2025 and will feature some very recognizable players from the past.

Janelle Pierzina from two seasons of Big Brother: All-Stars is one of those players, and she recently did an Instagram Live to share more details.

The cruise made 200 rooms available for purchase, and presales are already open. For die-hard Big Brother fans, it’s a good way to meet people from the Old School and newer seasons.

The Traitors US is a reality competition show hosted in Scotland.

Players from popular shows in the United States travel to compete for a $250,000 prize at a Scottish castle.

People from shows like Big Brother, Survivor, and Bachelor Nation get invited each season to compete.

So far, two seasons have aired on Peacock, and a third one is coming.

Host Alan Cumming recently revealed The Traitors 3 cast – and it includes two Big Brother alums.

It became the third straight season where some big Big Brother personalities were on the show.

Big Brother alums from The Traitors 1 and The Traitors 2

Danielle Reyes is ready to compete again on reality television.

Returning for Big Brother: Reindeer Games got the competitive juices flowing for Danielle, and she hopes to appear on TV again.

Big Brother fans met Danielle on Season 3 of the hit summer show. She became a favorite to win but finished as the runner-up when the BB3 jury got to see her Diary Room sessions.

Danielle also appeared on Big Brother: All-Stars (BB7), finishing in sixth place. That season saw Mike “Boogie” Malin become the winner.

CBS tried a new incarnation of its hit reality show this past summer, inviting nine well-known players to compete in a winter spin-off.

Danielle joined Big Brother winners Nicole Franzel, Cody Calafiore, Taylor Hale, and five other players to compete on the first season of Big Brother: Reindeer Games.

The Traitors brings in notorious reality TV stars from across many networks. This includes some members of the Big Brother nation. The third season of The Traitors will start filming in Scotland soon and it appears as if a popular Big Brother star is heading out for this season.

Here is a look at who might be coming to The Traitors this season from Bb.

Which Big Brother Star Could Be On The Traitors Season 3?

Big Brother is a show that has lent its stars to various other shows in the past, including The Amazing Race and The Challenge. There have been some Bb stars that appeared in The Traitors’ first two seasons. This includes Cody Calafiore, Rachel Reilly (both in Season 1), Dan Gheesling, and Janelle Pierzina (in Season 2).

In a social media post, GamerVev wrote, “I heard [Traitors] 3 departure is early June. BB16 lives on.” What could this mean?...

The Traitors 3 begins filming soon in Scotland, leading to some interesting rumors on social media.

Several Big Brother alums are expected to be on the new season of the hit reality competition show on Peacock.

During the first season of The Traitors, Big Brother winners Cody Calafiore (BB22) and Rachel Reilly (BB13) participated.

Big Brother winner Dan Gheesling (BB10) and All-Star Janelle Pierzina appeared on The Traitors during Season 2.

The quartet of former houseguests came up short in the competition, but Cody and Dan made waves as Traitors trying to steal money from everyone else.

Viewers were very interested in those Big Brother alums, keeping the door open for more of them to compete in the future.

We have good news for Bachelor Nation fans who want to see Tyler Cameron take on The Bachelor role.

No, we’re not confirming that he’s been cast, but he hasn’t ruled out the possibility.

Tyler is one of the most popular Bachelorette alums, having first been introduced on Hannah Brown’s season.

He came in second place after Hannah chose Jed Wyatt. And while the two ended their engagement soon after, Tyler and Hannah didn’t rekindle the romance we saw on the show.

After her season ended, he wasn’t ready to take on the top role, so his best friend, Matt James, starred on the dating series instead.

But that hasn’t stopped fans from wanting to see him look for love on The Bachelor.

And, according to Tyler, it hasn’t stopped ABC from asking him either.

Tyler Cameron says, ‘Never say never’

Tyler...

Bachelor Nation is still reeling from Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist’s divorce announcement last week.

The Golden Bachelor couple got married less than two months after the finale aired and then revealed they were divorcing just three months after The Golden Wedding.

In the wake of the divorce shocker, many Bachelor Nation stars have spoken out including one of Theresa’s cast members and host Jesse Palmer.

Even Big Brother alum Rachel Reilly had something to say about the split, defending the possibility of finding love on reality TV after critics claimed it just didn’t work.

There has been plenty of support for the couple as they went their separate ways and a bit of shade.

Now, The Bachelorette alum Tyler Cameron has shared his thoughts and they are a bit harsher than what anyone else has had to say so far.

Tyler Cameron compared himself to Gerry...

Reality TV love can last- just look at Brenchel! Fans were heartbroken over Gerry & Theresa's split. Success stories: From Bachelor to Big Brother, reality TV couples like Rachel & Brendon have made it work. Even in the drama of reality TV, stars like Rachel Reilly prove that love found on TV can survive.

Big Brother legend Rachel Reilly shared her feelings about The Golden Bachelor’s Gerry Turner & Theresa Nist as part of another reality TV couple who’s made it through difficult times. Rachel, who first appeared on Big Brother 12 and returned to win Big Brother 13, originally met her husband Brendon Villegas on the series. Dubbed “Brenchel” by fans quickly, Rachel and Brendon got engaged after Big Brother 12, marrying in 2012 and welcoming to children after, in between appearances on The Amazing Race. Rachel returned to reality TV for The Traitors season 1 in 2023, bringing her brand of drama back.

Chiming...

Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist stunned The Golden Bachelor fans last week when they showed up on Good Morning America to announce their divorce.

The pair only got married three months ago and already want to call it quits.

Their reason is a head-scratcher — they can’t decide where to live, with Gerry’s home in Indiana and Theresa’s in New Jersey — because they knew about the distance when they got engaged and when they got married.

Many have spoken out, including The Golden Bachelor cast and even the host, Jesse Palmer.

The news even had Big Brother’s Rachel Reilly talking, as she responded to reality TV fans who think it’s impossible to find love while filming these shows.

Now, it’s Theresa Nist’s turn to say something other than that prepared statement she delivered alongside Gerry last week.

Theresa Nist thanks The Golden Bachelor fans for their ‘love,...

There’s been a lot of chatter in the wake of The Golden Bachelor stars Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist announcing the end of their short-lived marriage.

Many reality TV fans are using this surprising news to affirm that reality TV is not a good place to find love and claim that marriages that originated on TV just don’t work.

It does seem like finding love on a reality show goes against the odds. After all, filming usually takes place over a short period, even on reality dating shows, giving cast members little time to get to know each other.

But several reality TV couples are still going strong, proving that sustainable love does sometimes bloom.

Big Brother winner Rachel Reilly found love after meeting and falling in love with Brendon Villegas on Season 12 of Big Brother.

Now, she’s sharing her reaction and defending reality TV love.
