What Is Big Brother Reindeer Games?
Big Brother Reindeer Games is a new spinoff of the hit reality series Big Brother. The holiday special, which debuted in a two-hour season premiere on Dec. 11, features six “action-packed holiday-themed” episodes, but unlike Big Brother, contestants don’t live together.
In each episode, players face off in three competitions and a “Santa’s Showdown” to determine which player will go home at the end of every episode. The six-episode series is hosted by Derek Xiao and Tiffany Mitchell from Big Brother season 23, and season 11 winner Jordan Lloyd.
