Survivor star Rick Devens to compete on Big Brother season 28 (exclusive)
And he is not the only rCLSurvivorrCY star that will be part of the cast.

-a-a-a EW can exclusively report that Survivor 50 star Rick Devens will be part of the Big Brother season 28 cast.
-a-a-a But wait! ThatrCOs not all! Rick is one of TWO Survivor stars that will be appearing on the new season of BB.
-a-a-a Expect plenty of breaking news alerts from inside the house.
No need to flip a coin to determine if Survivor star Rick Devens will
appear on another CBS reality show, because it is already happening.
Entertainment Weekly can exclusively report that the Survivor 50 fan favorite has moved from the island to the Big Brother house, and will compete in season 28 of the reality competition show, which premieres
July 9 on CBS.
And Devens is not the only former Survivor competitor that will be part
of the new cast, as EW has learned that a second former castaway will
also be vying for Big BrotherrCOs $750,000 prize. The identity of that second player has yet to be revealed.
While neither CBS nor producers will confirm the participation of any Survivor competitors on the new season, sources close to the situation
tell EW that the two former island-dwellers are indeed part of the cast, which was announced earlier Tuesday and also includes RuPaulrCOs Drag Race star Salina EsTitties, appearing here under offstage name Jason De Puy.
Devens first came to reality TV prominence on the Survivor: Edge of Extinction season in 2019. After being voted our fourth on day 11, he
could have become a mere footnote, but that seasonrCOs twist allowed the then TV newscaster to win himself back into the game rCo where he gained fame by winning challenges, finding idols, and broadcasting his
trademark breaking news reports. His run finally ended in fourth place
when he lost a fire-making competition to eventual winner Chris Underwood.
Devens almost did not make it back for Survivor 50. He began the process
as an alternate, but when the cast ballooned to 24 people, he was added
to the mix, and proceeded to become arguably the biggest star of the
season.
Not only did Devens hilariously hide and then retrieve a fake idol from Tribal Council, but he also famously risked immediate elimination by volunteering to flip the MrBeast coin that gave him immunity at two different Tribal Councils, while also doubling the prize money to $2
million (eventually won by Aubry Bracco). A huge threat to win due to
all his theatrics, he was finally voted out in seventh place.
Now, Devens and his mystery fellow island transplant become the second
and third Survivor players to later appear on Big Brother, following in
the footsteps of DevensrCO Survivor 50 castmate Cirie Fields, who competed alongside her son Jared on season 25, where she placed fifth and had to endure Felicia cutting toenails on her bed.
The cross-pollination between the two shows has also included two Big Brother contestants who later competed on Survivor. Big Brother 12
winner Hayden Moss was on Survivor: Blood vs. Water and made it all the
way to sixth place, while Big Brother 16rCOs Caleb rCLBeast Mode CowboyrCY Reynolds appeared on two Survivor seasons: Kaoh Rong and Game Changers.
Continuing the connection, Survivor 42rCOs Zach Wurtenberger watched his brother Cory on Big Brother 25, while back-to-back Survivor finalist
Russell Hantz saw his brother Willie get expelled from the season 14
house after charging and pushing Joe Arvin.
ItrCOs highly unlikely the genial Rick Devens or second mystery Survivor will cause any sort of physical chaos inside the Big Brother house. When
it comes to chaotic gameplay, however, strap in for what is sure to be a wild ride.

CBS finally officially admitted that Devens is on BB28. Apparently,
they're saving the reveal of Dee and someone else until tomorrow night
when Unlocked airs. Dee is definitely playing. Hamsterwatch said today
she's the first HOH of the season.
I don't see Devens doing well. I think his act will get annoying very quickly and it's possible he won't fit in. Of the supposed 17 players,
14 of them are in their 20s and all are single. I can see Dee doing well
at BB, but having won $1 million on Survivor is going to be hard to overcome.

I agree with you about Devens, mostly because I don't actually think he
is that smart strategically. On Survivor he is more of a social player
who relies on his ability to make friends, find idols and win physical challenges, and none of that will translate well to a BB season with
mostly younger players.-a In contrast, Dee is right in the right age
range, is very smart strategically, and she should fit in perfectly with
the more cerebral BB game.
