While some say Avengers: Infinity War is the greatest crossover event, a report about Survivor and Big Brother players on The Amazing Race takes the cake.

When it comes to reality competition programming, CBS might be the best provider in town.Survivor, Big BrotherandThe Amazing Raceeach continues to thrive in their own right after years and years of iterations playing out on television, with the passion for their games exhibited by hosts Jeff Probst, Julie Chen and Phil Keoghan still shining brightly.

After seeingBig Brother 19players Cody Nickson and Jessica Graf bringThe Amazing Raceratings back to life (the show was on the brink of cancellation in the season prior), a light bulb must have turned on above a CBS executive’s head. Three separate reports elaborate on a developing story for the show’s next season.

The first came fromTMZ, which reported that season 31 ofThe Amazing Racewould consist of entirelyBig Brotherplayers. Their sources indicate at least one winner will play, but several popular winners had to decline for “family or career reasons.” The next report fromReality Blurredinsisted thatTARseason 31 would be a BB vs. TAR all-star season, sourcing someone with knowledge of casting. They also insist at least oneBig Brotherwinner would compete.

More from Survivor Rumors

Finally, the newest report comes fromInside Survivor,bringing the CBS reality train to a full circle by reporting formerSurvivorplayers have also been contacted to compete in the season. This report is decidedly bereft in details, as no castaways or castaway types were hinted at.

Three different duos ofSurvivorandBig Brotherplayers have competed onThe Amazing Racebefore, with “Boston” Rob and Amber Mariano playing twice. We’ve even seenBig Brotherplayers such as Hayden Moss and Caleb Reynolds, plusThe Amazing Race’sNatalie and Nadiya Anderson, compete onSurvivorbefore. Competitors from three of CBS’ reality shows on one is brand new.

The thing that makes this an awesome venture is the notion of worlds colliding. Seasoned reality personalities will come together to compete in high-stress situations, with qualities like of direction, partner ego management, social game with other players and strategic prowess with using the U-turn. Though I’d rather see it happen onSurvivor,it’ll be neat to see who is represented on each platform.
