Big Brother 28 host Julie Chen Moonves was originally against Survivor legend Rick Devens competing on the show, but she's since changed her mind. Devens was unleashed into the game along with Survivor 45 winner Dee Valladares and Big Brother 26 star Angela Murray as part of a twist that added the three reality TV icons to the cast of 14 rookie houseguests. Now, Devens has made it to the Final 3, along with newbies Taylor Brown and Drew Campbell.

The 90-minute Big Brother 28 finale airs on Thursday, October 1, and host Julie Chen Moonves is teasing all of its surprises. Big Brother 28 premiered on July 9 with 17 houseguests competing for the $750,000 grand prize. They included Angela Murray, Ashley Trail, Barrett Pfeiffer, Chuk Anyanwu, Dee Valladares, Rick Devens, Drew Campbell, Haley Thogmartin, Jason De Puy, Kamu Kirk, LaTrice "Lala" Verrett, Lyric Medeiros, Mallory Aurichio, Melody Morris, Rome Seymour, Taylor Brown, and Yash Patel.

This season of Dancing with the Stars has been full of surprises, and Guillermo Rodriguez is among the biggest. What’s most surprising about Jimmy Kimmel's famous sidekick isn't how he moves on the dance floor, but how he and his partner, Witney Carson, are still in the hunt for the Mirrorball Trophy. Sure, Witney was a defending champion going into this season, but for this team to have survived three weeks of eliminations is nothing short of remarkable.

Survivor has gone through some major changes over the years, but its longtime host Jeff Probst doesn't seem worried about the future of the reality competition series. After Survivor creator Mark Burnett essentially handed the show over to Jeff years ago, CBS is now entering a new era under David Ellison, the chairperson and CEO of its parent company, Paramount. But despite the changes at the network, Jeff appears confident that Survivor isn't going anywhere.

Dancing With The Stars fans are outraged after Britt Stewart and Taylor Hanson's early elimination, and they're now slamming the show. Britt and Hanson frontman Taylor were eliminated on Yacht Rock Night, after they received a score of 18 out of 30 from the judges, Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough, and Bruno Tonioli, for their foxtrot to "What a Fool Believes" by The Doobie Brothers, which Derek called Taylor's best of the season so far.

Jimmy Fallon may have just found the perfect title for Karoline Leavitt’s next chapter. The former White House press secretary is reportedly out shopping for publishers on a new memoir. Like her former employer, U.S. president Donald Trump, Leavitt had a habit of answering reporters’ questions in an aggressive, authoritative manner during that time in office. She often sounded offended and called out questions she believed were either irrelevant or dumb, though not always in those exact words.

The Golden Bachelor's Season 2 finale was met with some backlash from fans in November 2025 when the show's star, Mel Owens, offered his winner, Peg Munson, a golden rose and a promise ring — but not an engagement ring — after admitting his preference was to date younger women. At the time, both Peg and Mel said they were on the same page about wanting their romance to be a slow burn and not rushing a wedding to ensure they could get to know each other fully.

Big Brother 28 will come to an end on finale night on Thursday, October 1, 2026, but the $750,000 grand prize isn't the only award that will be given out, as one houseguest will win the coveted fan-voted $50,000 America's Favorite Houseguest prize. The prize was first awarded in Big Brother 7, when Janelle Pierzina won. Jeff Schroeder was the first houseguest to win twice, in Big Brother 11 and 13.

Another development has emerged regarding Diddy’s prison sentence. The rapper and music mogul appears to have gotten more good fortune regarding his time behind bars. He was convicted of two counts of transporting prostitutes across state lines for sex back in 2025. During his highly publicized trial, prosecutors accused Diddy of engaging in "freak-offs." According to them, the rapper would mainly watch and record his girlfriend’s having sex with male prostitutes, mostly in fancy hotel rooms.

The Big Brother 28 Jury is preparing to crown the season's winner and award the $750,000 grand prize, but first they're revealing which pre-Jurors they wish had joined them in the Jury House. The Big Brother 28 Jury of seven currently consists of LaTrice "Lala" Verrett, Angela Murray, Barrett Pfeiffer, Yash Patel, Melody Morris, and Dee Valladares. On finale night, one of the Final 3, Rick Devens, Drew Campbell, or Taylor Brown, will join them, while the other two will battle it out for the win.
