Winning onBig Brothercan be a lucrative and life-changing event, no matter what country it is played in, and a decent number of pastBBalumni have gone on to compete onThe Challenge,Survivor,The Amazing Race,The Traitors, and other shows.

Let’s take a look at three individuals and two couples who went on to win the shows they competed on after, or before, spending their time in the famousBig Brotherhouse.

Cirie Fields

After winning season 1 of the US version ofThe Traitors, Cirie Fields headed straight to Studio City, California to spend time in theBig Brotherhouse, with of all people, one of her three children, her son Jared, onBig Brother 25in 2023.

Cirie was on four different seasons ofSurvivor(Panama, Micronesia, Heroes vs Villains,andGame Changers), and although she never won the famous CBS show, the Jersey City, New Jersey native really made a name for herself and was ultimately invited to compete on some other shows.

One wasSnake In The Grass(USA Network), where Cirie was a co-winner of the show—which was canceled after just one season—along with two otherBig Brotherlegends, Janelle Pierzina and Rachel Reilly. The three split $100,000.

Then Cirie went on the play in the first season ofThe Traitorswhere she actually was one of the Traitors and walked off with the $250,000 prize money, beating runners-up (and Faithfuls) Quentin Jiles and Andie Vanacore.

After that, Cirie, now 54, went toBB25where the surgical director finished in fifth place and was evicted on Day 93. So she wonThe Traitors, was a co-winner onSnake In The Grass, finished in third place onSurvivor: Micronesiaand was in the top six three times, and finished in fifth place onBig Brother 25? Not bad. Not bad at all.


Kaycee Clark

Kaycee Clark wonBig Brother 20along with the $500,000 grand prize, and then the formerpro football playerwent on to compete in five seasons of MTV’sThe Challenge(Total Madness, Double Agents, Spies, Lies & Allies, Ride or Dies, and the currentBattle of The Eras(MTV, Wednesdays 8 ET/8 PT).

The now 36-year-old, a native of San Diego, won theSpies, Lies & Alliesseason, teaming up with CT Tamburello in the Final—his fifth time being aChallengeChampion. In the previous season (No. 36) ofThe Challenge(Double agents), CT teamed up and won with another formerBig Brotherplayer, Amber Borzotra (Big Brother 16).


Jessica Graf and Cody Nickson

Jessica Graf and Cody Nickson met onBig Brother 19, and quickly bonded. Jessica finished in 12th place and was evicted on Day 51 while Cody went the following week and finished 11th and was evicted on Day 58.

But the two bounced back in a big way, with Cody and his then-fiancée winningThe Amazing Race 30, traveling over 29,000 miles together, competing on four continents and 10 countries en route to the victory and the $1,000,000 prize.

The two are nowhappily marriedand live in Cody’s home state of Texas and have four beautiful children, Maverick, Carter, Atlas, and Gemma.


Claire Rehfuss and Derek Xiao

Claire Rehfuss and Derek Xiao also met onBig BrotheronBig Brother 23, where Derek was evicted on Day 51 and Claire on Day 65 on the season won byXavier Prather.

The two would go on to compete on season 34 ofThe Amazing Racewhere they won and became the second couple fromBig Brotherto winTAR. For their efforts across three continents, more than 11,000 miles, and 10 legs, Claire and Derek won $1,000,000.

Unlike Jessica and Cody, Claire and Derek never married but are still very close. Derek also participated inThe Challenge: USA.


Rachel Reilly

Rachel Reilly has become reality TV show royalty, appearing in at least five different shows and winning three of them. The now-40-year-old redhead from Concord, North Carolina first appeared on our TV screens onBig Brother 12where she met and teamed up with her future husband Brendon Villegas.

Rachel returned a season later and was the winner ofBig Brother 13, beating Porsche Briggs in anall-women Final 2and taking home the $500,000 grand prize. Rachel would then go on and compete with Brendon and her sister Elissa (Slater)—also aBig Brotheralum (15)—onThe Amazing Race 20,The Amazing Race 20, The Amazing Race 24, and The Amazing Race 31.

Then the woman who coined the phrase,“Floaters, you better grab a life vest” would notch her second reality TV win onCelebrity Fear Factorbefore being one of those aforementioned three pastBig Brotherladies to be a co-winner on that only season ofSnake In The Grass.

We last saw Rachel on season 2 ofThe Traitors, where she was one of the Faithfuls and was banished in episode 8. So will we see Rachel (and maybe Brendon) in a futureBig Brother: All-Starsseason,Big Brother: Reindeer Games, or another reality TV show?

Rachel and Brendon have kids now and responsibilities so although shows likeSurvivor,The Amazing Race, andThe Challengeare probably out of the question, seeing Rachel one more time might not be.
