Which Survivor 50 players will appear on Big Brother 28?

Summer is usually the best time of the year for most people, except forSurvivorfans who have to endure three months without our favourite show. Though there are other alternatives, one in particular can help us endure the off-season in better spirits.

I’m talking about, of course,Big Brother, which has just released its cast for its 28th season,premiering on Thursday, July 9, 2026, with a special 90-minute episode airing from 8 to 9:30 p.m. ET on CBS.

Early on July 7,14 houseguests' names were released to the publicabout who will compete on the latestBig Brotherseason. For weeks, rumours had been running amok on social media about reality TV stars potentially joining the cast (more on that later), includingSurvivoralumni, but nothing had been confirmed by reliable sources yet.

Well, the speculation is now over, asEntertainment Weekly has officially confirmedthat none other than two-time Survivor alum Rick Devens will compete onBig Brother.Devens was originally cast onSurvivor: Edge of Extinction, where he made a deep and impressive run that ultimately led to his invitation back onSurvivor 50, which wrapped up with a live finale about a month ago.

While Devens didn’t win either season, he is still known for his wit, charm, and savviness in strategic and social gameplay. These skills will certainly help him in theBig Brotherhouse this summer, and there’s no doubt that Devens will use every weapon in his arsenal to make this game his.

But, wait! There’s still moreSurvivorground to cover, as there is a rumored secondSurvivorplayer who will exchange the Fijian islands for the BB backyard. While it hasn’t been officially verified at this time, all evidence points to the second player being none other thanSurvivor 45winner andSurvivor 50contestant Dee Valladares.

Valladares completely dominated her firstSurvivorseason, holding a chokehold on the game from beginning to end, leading to her being crowned Sole Survivor. Like Devens, Valladares was brought back forSurvivor 50for a second run, where she was targeted for being one of the three winners on the season, ultimately leading to Valladares becoming the first jury member of the season.

Seeing Devens and Valladares playingBig Brotheris quickly turning out to be one of my favourite moments this year so far, and I can’t wait to see the chaos they will both unleash! I can also imagine that fellowSurvivor 50contestant Cirie Fields gave them some pointers before they went on toBig Brother,as Fields was the firstSurvivorplayer to compete onBig Brotherduring its 25th season. This duo could become one of the most dangerous, cutthroat, and unmatched ones that BB has ever seen.

Lastly, as previously mentioned, the other houseguests' names were also revealed, including anotherSurvivorconnection. Jason De Puy, also known toRuPaul’s Drag Racefans as Salina EsTitties, will also compete onBig Brother 28, and as every RPDR fan knows, De Puy is a massiveSurvivorsuperfan.

De Puy starred inRPDRseason 15 andRPDR All Starsseason 11, where he made an impression due to his charisma, hilarious commentary, and, particularly during his All Stars run, his knowledge ofSurvivor.De Puy went into All Stars with aSurvivormindset, making alliances with other drag queens and willing to backstab to advance in the competition. However, other players quickly caught up to his game and was promptly eliminated.

I can see a world where Devens, Valladares, and De Puy unite to wreck the house in their favour, while also wanting to get rid of each other, as they are all aware of how lethal each other is. Regardless of whether they end up working with or against each other, these three will give the fans a rollercoaster of a season! Plus,Big Brotherfan favouriteAngela Murray fromBig Brother 26will also be back, so you don’t want to miss this upcoming train of chaos fun.
