Another year, another case of CBS reality crossovers involving Big Brother, Survivor and The Amazing Race excluding a casting combination yet to happen.

It’s an odd time for CBS reality competitions.The Amazing Raceseason 30 had players who hadjust met each otheronBig Brother19,Survivor: David vs. Goliathwill featureThe Amazing Race(and TV/film’s) Mike White,and the next season ofThe Amazing Racewill feature teams from all three CBS reality shows competing against each other!

Despite players from both other shows competing onSurvivor,a castaway has never locked themselves up for 24/7 online viewing consumption just yet. Unless there’s an unseen twist that brings in new players, it won’t happen inBig Brother 20. The show starts next week, andthe cast revealed todaycontains 16 completely new houseguests that have not been on a reality show before.

Just likeSurvivor Ghost Island,this upcoming season ofBig Brotherskews fairly young, even for the show’s ridiculous casting standards as of late. The oldest male player is 40, and the oldest female player is just 34 years old; both of which is actually younger than the oldest female and male player fromGhost Island.

There was speculation duringCelebrity Big Brother‘s leadup to the cast reveal of its first-ever seasonthat there would be aSurvivorplayer, but the palm tree emoji used by host Julie Chen was actually indicating Brandi Glanville fromReal Housewives of Beverly Hills.Update:Survivoris the only show of the trio not to have an original player join a season on another CBS reality show, as it stands.

Next: Survivor: Ranking 35 seasons

Unfortunately, due to all shows culminating in a race against the world, it should be a fairly long time before we see aSurvivorplayer onBig Brother(if that even ever happens). That’s right; Randy Bailey’s involvement with the show will have to be restrictedto hot takes and earnest tweets in an attempt to make it to the live airings.
