Big Brother alum Mike “Boogie” Malin has reportedly been arrested again.

This time, Malin was arrested for allegedly shoplifting at a Cvs pharmacy.

The Burbank Police Department stated that Malin was arrested on January 29.

According to a report from TMZ, officers were sent to multiple Cvs Pharmacy locations in the San Fernando Valley after an incident at one location.

A Cvs employee reportedly told the police that he confronted Malin outside one store and told him to pay for items he had allegedly stolen.

TMZ reported that Malin allegedly returned to the store and placed items on the ground before driving away.

The department is said to have then dispatched officers to other Cvs stores, knowing that suspects often try to shoplift at multiple locations of the same store.

Malin’s unoccupied vehicle was then reportedly found running outside another Cvs, where he was accused of stealing alcohol and energy drinks.

The Traitors season 3 is finally here, and the series got off on a fascinating foot with a batch of three episodes that revealed the Traitors in the game, along with some exciting twists. The Traitors, which became the highest-rated reality TV show on Peacock during its last season, has finally returned after a year-long hiatus, bringing the game of deception back to the forefront. While the series hosted by Alan Cumming can feel dark, the show is a strategy game at its core. Coming off a historic season, The Traitors season 3 has a lot to live up to.

Although The Traitors season 2 adopted a new style of gameplay for the US version of the series, separating it from the other international iterations of the show, things are ramping up even more for the newest season.

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 played an amazing game this past season. Though she did get some help from Makensy Manbeck at the end, Chelsie easily won the BB26 jury vote.

Chelsie worked hard every day this summer, even when she wasn’t the Head of Household. Her social game became a big reason why she won the show.

Even when Makensy was the Hoh, Chelsie convinced her to do what was best for Chelsie’s game. That included when Makensy won the final Hoh Competition and took Chelsie to the final two.

Many Big Brother fans were shocked that Makensy seemed unprepared to give her speech to the jury, but that was also because of Chelsie, who had convinced Makensy that her game spoke for itself.

Chelsie was correct in her speech when she noted that she won when needed, including when she won over the jury during the season finale.

On October 13, the Big Brother 26 finale will air, and the coveted $50,000 America's Favorite Houseguest prize will be awarded, and Leah Peters deserves the honor. In addition to the $750,000 grand prize and the $75,000 prize for the runner-up, fans vote for their favorite houseguest. The first America's Favorite winner was legend Janelle Pierzina in Big Brother 7. The only player to win the prize twice was Jeff Schroeder in Big Brother 11 and 13. During Big Brother 24, Taylor Hale made history by being the first player ever to win both the game and America's Favorite Houseguest.

Through the years, Big Brother fans have voted several other incredible players as America's Favorite Houseguest as well. They include James Zinkand (season 9), Keesha Smith (season 10), Britney Haynes (season 12), Frank Eudy (season 14), Elissa Slater (season 15), Donny Thompson (season 16), James Huling (season 17), Victor Arroyo (season 18), Cody Nickson (season 19), Tyler Crispen (season 20), Nicole Anthony (season 21), Da'Vonne Rogers (season 22), Tiffany Mitchell...

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...

Big Brother 26 introduced the Bb A.I. Arena competition, and, as Big Brother legend Janelle Pierzina has suggested, it should become a permanent fixture in the game. During Big Brother 26, the Head of Household (Hoh) nominates three houseguests for eviction rather than the usual two. If one of the nominees is saved with the Power of Veto, then the Hoh names a replacement nominee, so that there are still three nominees on the chopping block on eviction night. However, not all of the nominees receive votes during the evictions, as one has a last-minute chance to save themselves in the Bb A.I. Arena.

The Big Brother 26 A.I. Arena competition occurs right before the live vote and eviction. So far, the Bb A.I. Arena competitions have consisted of timed puzzles, and the competitions play out in real time during the live eviction episodes. The winner of the competition...

Your browser does not support the video tag. The first backdoor elimination in Big Brother shocked houseguests in 2004, setting a precedent for future seasons. The backdoor strategy involves nominating pawns to target true threats, providing a strategic advantage. Big Brother's Power of Veto has evolved with different variations introduced in the game over the years.

A Big Brother backdoor elimination is one of the most powerful moves in the game, often blindsiding the evicted houseguest. The very first backdoor elimination, however, didnt just shock the houseguestsit set a precedent that would shape every future season of Big Brother.

In many seasons of Big Brother, the Head of Household nominates two houseguests to be on the block and in danger of eviction. The two houseguests, along with the Hoh and three other players, compete in the Veto Competition. If one of the Hoh's nominations is removed from the block, he...

CBS has produced popular reality shows like Survivor, Big Brother, and The Amazing Race since 1999, sparking fan interest in the stars' lives. Danielle Reyes from Big Brother is now a real estate agent, while Richard Hatch faced legal troubles and personal challenges post-Survivor. The winners of The Amazing Race 1, Rob Frisbee and Brennan Swain, have pursued successful careers in law and entertainment.

On top of that, fans want to know what happened to former CBS reality stars like Lisa Donahue. With that in mind,...

Big Brother needs to retire some classic competitions to keep viewers engaged and live up to its motto of "expect the unexpected." Otev, The Wall, Slip & Slide, and other recurring games have become predictable and formulaic, making the show feel repetitive. Introducing new and exciting challenges for Big Brother 26 will add a fresh and thrilling element for both the houseguests and the viewers.

Big Brother has many classic recurring competitions, but it's time for some of them to be retired in order to make room for new games that will help the show live up to its motto, "expect the unexpected."

With its intricate gameplay, which requires its houseguests to have incredible physical stamina, sharp mental acuity, strong social skills, and deep emotional intelligence, Big Brother became a phenomenon which viewers look forward to every summer.

However, ahead of Big...

According to Dr. Will Kirby, Big Brother players including Cody Calafiore and Rachel Reilly, have performed poorly on The Traitors US, potentially damaging their reality TV legacies. Dr. Will, known for his strategic gameplay and controversial behavior, is selective about participating in reality TV shows that may undermine his dermatology career.

Specifically telling other houseguests he wanted to leave the game and sharing he hated everyone in the Bb house,...

Dr. Will Kirby is featured on the eighth episode of The Traitors 2.

His ties to reality television made Will the perfect addition to the Peacock show.

It’s a shame the other Big Brother alums from the season got eliminated much earlier.

Big Brother 10 winner Dan Gheesling was Banished after many players suspected him of being a Traitor. He was the first Traitor discovered this season.

Janelle Pierzina played on four seasons of Big Brother, including two All-Stars installments. Having her on The Traitors was a treat, but she played the game too hard and got Banished due to her volume of enemies.

Dan and Janelle would have loved coming across Will outside the Scottish castle, but maybe they will see him at the reunion show.

Who is Dr. Will Kirby from The Traitors 2?

Will recently took to social media to tease his appearance on The Traitors 2.

It was...

Danielle Reyes is considered "The Greatest Player to Never Win the Game" in Big Brother history due to her exceptional social game and strategies.

Danielle returned for subsequent seasons, displaying her strength as a player, and is a revered Big Brother legend.

Big Brother 3 runner-up Danielle Reyes was just eliminated from Big Brother Reindeer Games, and there's a lot to know about this legend, who's widely regarded as "The Greatest Player to Never Win the Game." During Big Brother 3 in 2002, Danielle only won two competitions (one Head of Household (Hoh) and one Power of Veto), but it was her extraordinary social game and strategies that made her a Big Brother icon.

Recent seasons of Big Brother have been lacking compelling villains, with many cast members being either too nice or unlikable. The rise of cancel culture may be a reason why fewer players are willing to embrace villainous roles in the game. Changes in casting guidelines, including a minimum of 50% Bipoc cast members, may lead to the emergence of new-era villains in future seasons of Big Brother.

Big Brother is one of reality TV's longest running series, but in recent years, the series has been missing compelling villains. Over the course of its run, Big Brother has introduced some of the most compelling reality TV characters of all time. While some players choose to play kind, others understand that cutthroat gameplay could get them closer to the grand prize, which is currently a thrilling $750,000. While there have been players who utilize multiple strategies to win the game, some of the most...

Big Brother is considering hosting an all-winners season, fulfilling a longtime viewer suggestion and potentially shaking up the traditional format due to ongoing Hollywood strikes. Viewers are excited about the possibility, as they have been requesting an all-winners competition for years. This would allow houseguests to change their gameplay in a shorter, modified version of the competition. Several iconic winners, such as Ian Terry, Rachel Reilly, Dr. Will Kirby, and others, would be compelling additions to an all-winners season, with their unique strategies and gameplay making for an exciting show.

Big Brother 25 is an ongoing season, but the series is already looking ahead to its winter installment, which may be an all-winners season of returning houseguests competing for the prize. The series has been one of the most long-running reality TV competition shows, airing seasonally since 2001 and adding Celebrity Big Brother to its lineup in 2018. While the summer seasons of...

Big Brother 22 was a disappointing season due to the blatant pre-gaming orchestrated by Daniele Donato, which made the gameplay formulaic and methodical. Daniele's previous appearances on Big Brother in seasons 8 and 13 established her as a strong competitor and a polarizing figure due to her relationship with her father, Dick. Janelle revealed that Daniele was the one responsible for initiating the pre-gaming in Bb 22, which ultimately led to a predictable outcome and a lackluster season.

Big Brother 22 was an All-Stars season meant to be one of the best, but many viewers felt it was a flop due to the blatant pre-gaming revealed to be Bb 8’s Daniele Donato’s doing. Filmed during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, Big Brother 22 was the second edition of All-Stars that the series has run, the first being Big Brother 7 in 2006. The first iteration of Big Brother All-Stars featured houseguests from the first 6 seasons of the series,...

CBS is reportedly considering an all-winners season for the next installment of Big Brother, fulfilling a longtime viewer request. If there aren't enough winners available, CBS may reach out to potential contestants already in the pipeline for the summer 2024 season. A Big Brother season with all veteran houseguests or a mix of winners and veterans is also a possibility, giving past contestants another chance to play the game.

Big Brother season 25 may still be ongoing, but CBS is already reportedly making plans for the next installment of the series, which may be an all-winners season. Big Brother is one of the longest-running reality TV competition series, first premiering in 2000 to mixed reviews. As the game has become more popular through the years, the dynamics have shifted and the gameplay has changed, but the premise of the series has remained the same. The final houseguest to remain at the end of...

The Wall competition is one of the most popular and challenging endurance competitions in the history of Big Brother, with houseguests enduring for hours to be the last one standing on a small platform on a wall.

Past winners of the Wall competition include April Dowling, Matt Hoffman, Danielle Murphree, Elissa Slater, and Daniele Donato, among others, each enduring unique challenges to emerge as victors.

Fans and houseguests look forward to these legendary competitions, and the winners wear...

Big Brother 25 could potentially bring back evicted pre-jury players who weren't sequested, similar to the Big Brother 3 jury that voted against Danielle Reyes. The show has already referenced Danielle's loss and brought back past players. The addition of a pre-jury Battle Back would inject new life into Big Brother 25 and shake up the house dynamics, as the returning player would know everything that has happened so far.

Big Brother 25 has revealed some key information to its evicted pre-jury players so far, making a Battle Back seem impossible, but the show could still bring someone back with a big twist that would throw back to Big Brother legend Danielle Reyes' season 3 loss. Danielle is regarded as one of the best players in the history of the game, but she lost because, during season 3, the jury, which consisted of every evicted houseguest, wasn't sequestered. Danielle's biting commentary in her diary room...

Watching live Hoh competitions in Big Brother is an exhilarating experience with real and raw reactions from the houseguests and live studio audience. Live competitions bring the element of surprise and keep viewers on the edges of their seats, as anything could happen in real-time. Airing live Hoh competitions prevents spoilers from the live feeds and keeps the show more up-to-date and exciting for both live feeders and television viewers.

Big Brother 25 ended its Thursday night episode with a live Head of Household (Hoh) competition in which the winner, Cameron Hardin, was determined before the end of the show, and it was a reminder of why the reality competition series should air these competitions live more often. Through the years, endurance competitions have played out on the live feeds due to time constraints on the CBS shows. However, in recent years, the show often has had the houseguests compete for...

The Big Brother Tiny Veto competition, where houseguests stack tiny cans with giant tweezers, has become a fan-favorite game with iconic winners. Da'Vonne Rogers was the first Black woman in 12 seasons to win the Power of Veto during Big Brother 22's Tiny Veto competition. Alyssa Lopez's underdog win in the Tiny Veto competition during Big Brother 23 threw a wrench in The Cookout alliance's plans.

The Big Brother Tiny Veto competition was introduced in 2020 during the second all-stars season, and has become a classic fan-favorite game, with several iconic winners. During the Tiny Veto competition, the houseguests must stack tiny objects in a pyramid using only a pair of giant tweezers. If the objects fall, the contestants can pick them up with the tweezers and try again. Whichever competitor finishes their pyramid first wins.

During Big Brother 24, the Tiny Veto competition was played as a Head of Household (Hoh) competition instead of a veto contest.

Marcellas Reynolds, a former houseguest on Big Brother, is now 53 years old and still looks incredible. After his time on the show, Marcellas pursued a career in modeling, entertainment reporting, TV hosting, and even became an accomplished author. Marcellas has a significant social media presence, especially on Instagram, where he shares glimpses of his personal life and encounters with celebrities.

Big Brother's Marcellas Reynolds hasn't been part of the series in years, but many have been wondering what he's up to after hearing his name referenced in recent episodes of the series. Originally from Big Brother 3, Marcellas joined the series in 2002 as one of the first openly gay houseguests to compete for the grand prize. During Bb 3, Marcellas committed the first ever instance of a cardinal sin in Big Brother by choosing not to use the Power of Veto to remove himself from the nomination block after winning it.

Jared has nominated Cameron and Red for eviction. Regardless of the Power of Veto competition, both Cameron and Red cannot stay in the house this week. Cameron worked hard as Hoh but may be going home just one week after his impressive performance in the Pressure Cooker competition.

The Big Brother 25 week 5 Head of Household (Hoh) Jared Fields has nominated two of his fellow houseguests for eviction: Cameron Hardin and Red Utley. Jared became the Hoh after Matt Klotz saved Jag Bains from eviction with the Power of Invincibility, which meant that Cameron didn't send anyone home during his Hoh. Now the tables have turned, and Cameron is on the chopping block with his closest ally, Red, with whom he has a Final 2 alliance called The Chillers.

The Big Brother 25 live feeds revealed that Jared nominated Cameron and Red. Cirie Fields, who is Jared's mom, explained to Matt Klotz that...

The introduction of the Power of Invincibility in Big Brother 25 was poorly timed and had negative consequences for Cameron's hard-earned Hoh reign. Cameron's performance in the Pressure Cooker competition was impressive, making the Power of Invincibility twist unfair to him after competing for 13 hours and 49 minutes. The activation of the power was too early in the game.

During the Big Brother 25 week 4 eviction, Power of Invincibility winner Matt Klotz activated the superpower, saving evictee Jag Bains from elimination, but this wasn't an appropriate week for a power like that to be unleashed in the house. The Power of Invincibility allowed the winner to save an evicted houseguest at either the August 31 or September 7 eviction, even themselves. Fans had voted for which of the houseguests they wanted to win the power. The top four vote-getters competed secretly and individually to win it.

All of the remaining Big Brother 25 houseguests were eligible...

Red chose not to use the Power of Veto, sticking to Cameron's plan to evict Jag and not backdoor Izzy. Cirie and her allies are considering evicting Blue. There is a Power of Invincibility in play that could save Jag or Blue from eviction, depending on who wins.

The Big Brother 25 Power of Veto ceremony has occurred and veto winner Red Utley chose not to use it to save one of the nominees, Jag Bains or Blue Kim, from eviction. This week, Cameron Hardin became the Head of Household (Hoh) after winning the Pressure Cooker competition after holding his button for an astonishing 13 hours and 49 minutes. He was able to keep all of the power when his closest ally, Red, won the veto. Cameron stuck to his word to Pressure Cooker runner-up America Lopez, and kept their deal not to nominate her or Cory Wurtenberger for eviction.

Big Brother 25 had a grueling Pressure Cooker competition, with Cameron Hardin winning and America Lopez placing second after 13 hours and 49 minutes, just four minutes short of the record set in Big Brother 6. Several other houseguests had impressive times, with Mecole Hayes lasting 13 hours and 30 minutes, and three others lasting over 12 hours. The houseguests showcased their physical and mental stamina, proving they had the drive to win and making the Big Brother 25 Pressure Cooker an exciting competition to watch.

During Big Brother 6, the Pressure Cooker winner Jennifer Vasquez and runner-up Kaysar Ridha held their buttons for an incredible 13 hours and 53 minutes, making it the longest competition in show history, and the Big Brother 25 winner and runner-up had the chance to break that record. In 2005, the Big Brother 6 houseguests played in the Pressure Cooker Head of Household (Hoh) competition. The concept was simple: be the last person to let go of a button.

Mecole Hayes is a contestant on Big Brother 25 and a member of the Bye Bye B****es alliance. Mecole is a fierce competitor, placing third the Pressure Cooker Head of Household (Hoh) competition. Mecole is a political consultant from Washington, D.C. with an impressive educational background and a passion for the game. #BigBrother25

Big Brother 25 houseguest Mecole Hayes is one of the 17 contestants competing for the $750,000 grand prize on the milestone season of the reality competition show. Mecole, whose nickname is Meme, is a member of the Bye Bye B****es alliance, along with her fellow women, Felicia Cannon, Cirie Fields, Izzy Gleicher, and Bowie Jane. The name of the alliance is a nod to the iconic quote from Big Brother legend, Janelle Pierzina. Felicia came up with the name when she saw the quote printed on one of the walls of the Big Brother house.

The Power of Invincibility could ruin Cameron's plans.

After winning the Big Brother 25 Pressure Cooker competition, week 4 Head of Household (Hoh) Cameron Hardin has nominated Jag Bains and Blue Kim for eviction. Cameron won the Pressure Cooker competition after an incredible 13 hours and 50 minutes of holding his button, with America Lopez placing second.

The Pressure Cooker competition in Big Brother 6 was one of the most challenging and longest in the show's history, lasting about 14 hours. Cameron Hardin emerged as the winner after 13 hours and 50 minutes, with America Lopez placing second. Cameron's victory raises speculation about his nominations and potential alliances, with possibilities including joining The Professors or seeking revenge on Felicia and her allies.

Big Brother 25 week 4 began with one of the most challenging Head of Household (Hoh) competitions, the Pressure Cooker. Last played in 2005 during Big Brother 6, the Pressure Cooker competition was the longest in the show's history at about 14 hours. It was also one of the most infamous as Jennifer Vasquez won the game after she convinced Kaysar Ridha that she wouldn’t nominate him for eviction, and later betrayed that promise and backdoored him. During Big Brother 25, Kaysar appeared in a video,...

Jennifer Vasquez, a former Big Brother 6 houseguest, made history by winning the Pressure Cooker competition after 14 hours.

Jennifer is now married with two children, works as a teacher, and is active on social media, sharing updates about her family and career.

Big Brother 6 houseguest Jennifer Vasquez made history on the show in 2005 when she won the Pressure Cooker competition after a record-setting 14 hours, and, now that the competition has returned for Big Brother 25, it's time to find out what she's been up to. Jennifer was 27 years old and an arena football league dancer from Plano, Texas when she appeared on Big Brother 6. She was a member of The Friendship alliance, along with Ivette Corredero, Beau Beasley, April Lewis, Eric Littmann, and eventual winner Maggie Ausburn.

Big Brother 25 will feature the iconic Pressure Cooker competition, a tribute to the show's rich history. The Pressure Cooker is an endurance competition in which houseguests must hold a button for as long as possible. The competition gained legendary status during Big Brother 6 when it lasted almost 14 hours and led to a memorable betrayal.

Big Brother 25 host Julie Chen Moonves announced that the Pressure Cooker competition will return on the Thursday, August 24 episode, and it's one of the most legendary competitions in the show's history. Big Brother 25 has been full of twists and turns due to the Time Laser, including the unleashing of the multiverse, the addition of Survivor legend Cirie Fields as the 17th houseguest, and the introduction of the Nether Region, which is ruled by the frightening Nether Gorgon. The Pressure Cooker is the first competition that pays homage to Big Brother's rich history in its milestone 25th season.

Big Brother 25 premieres in August, and it's time to take a look back at the previous 24 winners and their ages at the times of their victories. Although the show now requires that contestants are at least 21 years of age, the two youngest houseguests ever to play the game were Michelle Maradie, who was 19 in season 4, and Daniele Donato Briones, who was 20 in season 8. There's no upper limit age requirement for Big Brother. The oldest Big Brother houseguest ever was Jerry MacDonald, who was 75 years old when he placed third during season 10.

Big Brother winners have had a range of ages, but most of them were in their 20s. This is partially due to the younger contestants having an edge on the physical competitions, but also because of the ratio of younger to older contestants who are cast on the show. As fans eagerly await the new Big Brother 25 cast announcement,...

If the rumors are true, the upcoming Big Brother season could feature returning players, and there are a number of old-school houseguests who should get a second chance at the game. Several Big Brother seasons have featured returning players. Most of these seasons have involved a mix of newbies and returnees, but there have been two full All-Star seasons: Big Brother 7 and Big Brother 22.

The upcoming Big Brother 25's around the corner, and, in keeping with the usual pattern of preseason hype, rumors are swirling that the season could feature former players returning to the show. However, there's been no official confirmations from CBS, and nearly every season has similar preseason rumors. However, there has been increased speculation this year that the season could be a "second chances" theme, or a mix of new players and returning vets. There are plenty of Big Brother veterans who should get a chance to return.

There has been much speculation about whether Big Brother legend Janelle Pierzina would join The Challenge: USA season 2, but she now shares why she won't be appearing on the reality competition show. Janelle is widely regarded as one of the greatest contestants in Big Brother history. Known as the "Queen of Big Brother," Janelle competed in four seasons of the reality series. She became an icon when she made her debut on Big Brother 6 in 2005, placing third. Since then, she appeared on Big Brother 7, 14, and 22, making her mark on the game with her outstanding social skills, mental acuity, and physical prowess.

Whenever reality shows cast former Big Brother contestants, Janelle's name is usually at the top of their lists, but she revealed that she will not be competing on The Challenge: USA season 2. In a tweet, Janelle wrote, "I’m not doing the Challenge USA. I was in the process,...

Big Brother always tries to shake things up in their season premieres, but some connect with fans more than others, as evidenced by their IMDb rankings. Every season premiere has a similar structure where they tease what lies ahead in the upcoming months but also have some sort of exciting event, like a competition or an early eviction. These first episodes are so important because they introduce the cast members as well as new and exciting twists for that season.

With these episodes being the viewer's first taste of the season, such as Big Brother season 24, the premieres are arguably just as important as their season finales, which have their own IMDb rankings, since they need to hook the audience to keep watching. Most of the highest-rated premieres are from when the show was still in its original era, as there are only a few that aired in recent years that were well-received.

After just one installment, one thing is true:

The Challenge Season 37 might end up like another War of the Worlds-like season, and I am so here for it.

The Challenge Season 37 Episode 1 confirmed what many expected:

The show needs new blood, and the veterans should be scared.

If you watch The Challenge online, you know the veterans always somehow return, even if they placed low on a previous season.

There's no doubt about it.

But it's hard not to be in awe of such a wonderful cast from around the world.

Many countries that have never been represented on the series are getting their time to shine, and if the veterans have gone after the Big Brother alliance in the past, it's Survivor's turn to feel their wrath.

Seriously though, Survivor players are much sketchier than Big Brother due to the sheer amount of politicking on the former show,...

Nikki Grahame, a reality TV star best known for her appearance in the seventh season of Big Brother UK, has died at 38.

“Nikki Grahame passed away in the early hours of Friday 9th April 2021,” said a statement from her representative. “Please respect the privacy of Nikki’s friends and family at this tragic and difficult time.”

No cause of death was given. Grahame recently received treatment for an eating disorder at a specialist clinic following an online fundraising by concerned friends and fans.

Grahame finished fifth in the seventh series of Big Brother in 2006. In 2010, she was a runner-up in the Ultimate Big Brother competition. She later released two books on her bouts of anorexia nervosa, 2009’s Dying to Be Thin and Fragile, released in 2012.

Her GoFundMe page had a statement mourning her passing. “Nikki not only touched the lives of millions of people, but also her friends and family who will miss her immensely.

Nikki Grahame, star of “Big Brother” and “Princess Nikki,” died Friday morning. She was 38.

The reality TV star’s death was confirmed to Variety by her agent, Freddy White. Her close friend Leon Dee first shared the news on a GoFundMe page set up to raise money for Grahame’s anorexia treatment. According to the GoFundMe, Grahame had struggled with the eating disorder for most of her life.

“It breaks our hearts to know that someone who is so precious was taken from us at such a young age,” Dee wrote on the GoFundMe page. “Nikki not only touched the lives of millions of people, but also her friends and family who will miss her immensely.”

Grahame rose to fame on Season 7 of “Big Brother UK” in 2006, in which she finished in fifth place. Later that year, she starred in her own reality series, “Princess Nikki,” which followed Grahame attempting several jobs,...

While Kaysar is undoubtedly an absolute icon in the world of Big Brother, can he really be considered an all-star? His track record is less than impressive, but at the same time, he's certainly made his mark even with said track record. Kaysar certainly has some points in his favor, but just as many against him at the same time.
