BetweenBig BrotherandCelebrityBig Brother, we have seen some amazing Reality TV stars inside theBig Brotherhouse including Cirie Fields (Survivor) and Carson Kressley who was a Houseguest onCelebrity Big Brother 3in 2022 and who was voted out on Day 24.

Here are five other guys from the Reality TV universe who we would love to lock in that house in a parking lot in Studio City, California, and see filmed 24/7 for the purposes of our own entertainment and viewing pleasure.

Johnny Bananas

His real name is Johnny Devenanzio, but reality TV fans know him as Johnny "Bananas," and few Americans have made more money and a career out of the genre like this guy. Best known for his appearances on MTV’sThe Challenge, Johnny has won seven seasons as well as on theChamps vs Starsspinoff (Season 1).

Devenanzio first appeared on our TVs onThe Real World(Season 17) back in 2006 and is still competing onThe Challenge 40: Battle of the Eras(Wednesdays, 8/7c, MTV) and would be a fantastic Houseguest onBig Brother, but probably come on too strong as we saw onBig Brother 26with Tucker Des Lauriers.

Johnny "Bananas" is a graduate of Penn State University—one of the two schoolsBB26’sCam Sullivan-Brown played football at—and is now 42 years old and happily living in Fullerton, California where he has his own podcast,Death, Taxes, and Bananason The Ringer Reality TV website. Bananas was also on Season 1 ofHouse of Villains(E!).

Wes Bergmann

Wes Bergmann is a three-time champion onThe Challenge,winningThe Duel, Rivals II,andAll Stars 3. The 39-year-old who calls Lawrence, Kansas home was onThe Real World: Austinand has also been on other reality TV franchises.

Currently, you can catch Wes on Season 2 of E!’sHouse of Villains(Thursdays, 10 ET/PT) along with other reality TV stars like Theresa Giudice fromThe Real Housewives of New Jersey, Richard Hatch fromSurvivor Borneoand Jessie Godderz fromBig Brother 10.

Wes has said that he has retired fromThe Challenge.So maybeBig Brotherand a crack at $750,000 would be a go?


CT Tamburello

His real name is Christopher Tambuerllo, but everyone in the reality TV sphere knows him as “CT.” Like Johnny “Bananas,” CT is best known for his work over the years onThe Challengeand was also introduced to the world onThe Real World: Parisin 2003.

An ideal personality to be onBig BrotherorCelebrity Big Brother, CT was also onThe Challenge 40: Battle of the Eras, but was eliminated. But along with former The Challenge alum and friend Trishelle Cannatella, CT wonThe Traitors2 last winter.


Richard Hatch

The first-ever winner of the CBS monster hitSurvivor, (Survivor: Borneo) Richard Hatch would be an idealBig BrotherHouseguest, although he can come across as abrasive and might not be the best alliance member. But aren’t those the same traits that helped Josh Martinez become a winner on our favorite guilty pleasure?

Like Bananas and Wes, Richard was onHouse of Villains(Season 2) but was eliminated early on. Hatch is now 63 years old and was also onSurvivor: All-Stars,The Biggest Loser: Temptation Nation,andThe Apprentice(Season 11)

Andy Cohen

The host ofWatch What Happens Liveand the genius behind theThe Real Housewivesfranchise on Bravo is Andy Cohen. Few people have created more reality stars than this hugeSt. Louis Cardinalsfan and host extraordinaire.

And the great thing? Andy, a graduate of Boston University, is a hugeBig Brotherfan and has many past Houseguests onWWHL, usually as the bartender. Cohen is now 56 and although his busy schedule andHousewivescommitments might prevent him from being on a season ofBig BrotherorCelebrity Big Brother, Cohen would be an absolute pleasure to watch and a very hard contestant for others to vote out and evict.
