Big Brother can open doors for houseguests after they appear on the show. Some go on to pursue a career in social media, while many contestants continue with reality TV often appearing in other reality competitions. Many houseguests and Big Brother couples have competed on The Amazing Race, while others have competed on similar shows like The Challenge and Survivor.
Viewers become invested in contestants during their time in the Big Brother house, which makes it fun for fans to follow those players after the show and root for them in other competitions. Some Big Brother contestants have even performed better and made it farther into the game on other shows.
Rachel and Brendon
Rachel and Brendon were a successful couple who met in season 12, became a Big Brother showmance and came back to play as a duo in season 13. They're successful not only because Rachel won season 13 but also because they found each other on the show and are now happily married. Rachel was especially known for being a competition beast and a powerhouse in the Big Brother game, so after competing in two seasons of that show, the couple took their talents to The Amazing Race, appearing in two seasons together, The Amazing Race 20 and The Amazing Race 24. (Rachel played again in The Amazing Race 31, that time with her sister as her teammate.)
Jordan and Jeff
Jordan and Jeff Schroeder are two-time Big Brother players and are one of the most popular who met during the show. Their time in the Big Brother house was successful, with Jordan winning season 11 and Jeff taking home America's Favorite Houseguest. They came back to play season 13 together and Jeff became the first person to take home America's Favorite Houseguest for a second time. They went on to compete in the Amazing Race as a new couple but didn't have as much success as they did on Big Brother, finishing in seventh place. Later, after they got engaged, they ended up on Marriage Bootcamp so they could figure out their communication issues before tying the not. It paid off: Today, they are happily married with kids.
Hayden Moss
Hayden Moss is the winner of season 12 of Big Brother. He was a strong game player and won many competitions. In fact, he was the only player to win a Head of Household and veto competition in the same week that season. He was also known for his showmance with Big Brother houseguest Kristen Bitting, but they broke up after the show. He went on to compete on Survivor: Blood vs. Water, which makes him one of the only Big Brother contestants to go on Survivor. He went on the show with his new girlfriend at the time, Kat, herself a former Survivor contestant.
Janelle and Britney
Janelle Pierzina is a four-time Big Brother player and a legend in the game. She placed third twice and, in season 7, she set the record for winning the most competitions in a season. Britney Haynes is also a Big Brother legend who played the game twice, and although she didn't make it to the end, she took home America's Favorite Houseguest in season 12.
The two of them met on season 14 of Big Brother and went on to compete in The Amazing Race as a friend duo. Although they managed to do well in the Big Brother house, their bad sense of direction set them back in the Amazing Race, and they finished in the bottom four.
Swaggy C
Chris Williams, aka "Swaggy C," didn't make it far in the Big Brother game, but despite his early eviction, he was a fan favorite and had success on the show in other ways. He met his current wife, Bayleigh Dayton, in the Big Brother house during season 20. He went on to The Challenge with Bayliegh, and it served as a chance for him to redeem himself and come closer to winning than he did in the Big Brother house. However, he still didn't take home the win. The couple also made an appearance on Say Yes To The Dress when Bayleigh was trying on wedding dresses in preparation for their wedding.
Nicole And Victor
Nicole Franzel appeared on three seasons of Big Brother and became a legend on the show. After being evicted early in season 16, she came back to win season 18 and again to finish in third place in season 22. Victor Arroyo appeared on season 18 of Big Brother. He finished in fifth place after he being evicted two times and competing in challenges to win his way back into the game both times. Victor and Nicole met during season 18 but started a serious relationship after the season ended. The two of them got engaged after competing on Big Brother and took their talents as an engaged couple to The Amazing Race 31, finishing in fourth place.
Kaycee Clark
Kaycee Clark is the winner of Big Brother 20, and after becoming a Big Brother fan favorite, she took her success to The Challenge. She was a competition beast on Big Brother, winning five of the last six Power of Veto competitions, so it was no surprise to viewers that she went on to compete in The Challenge. She was the runner-up on "Total Madness" and "Double Agents" and also competed on "Spies Lies and Allies." She continues to show that she is a physically strong competitor.
Josh Martinez
Josh Martinez is the winner of Big Brother season 19 and is remembered for stirring things up in the house, banging pots and pans to cause a ruckus. He didn't always see eye to eye with other houseguests, and he wasn't afraid to speak his mind or start a fight, but that didn't stop him from winning the game.
The competitor moved on to The Challenge, competing in the "War of the Worlds," "War of the Worlds 2," "Total Madness," "Double Agents," and "Spies, Lies and Allies" seasons. He's a great competitor on that show, but his biggest success is still his win on Big Brother.
Faysal Shafaat
Faysal was a contestant on Big Brother season 20. He didn't make it as far as he hoped and appeared to be clueless in the game at times. However, he was remembered for his relationship with Haleigh Broucher and for being a part of the "Foutte" alliance. The competitor didn't want to stop there, so he took on The Challenge along with other Big Brother contestants. He had more luck during his second time around competing on TV, finishing as a finalist during "Total Madness" and "Double Agents" and also competing on "Spies, Lies, and Allies."
Cody and Jess
Jessica Graf and Cody Nickson met while competing against each other on Big Brother season 19. They were a strong couple in the game, which was a threat to other houseguests, and that got them sent home early, placing 11th and 12th. Although the couple didn't last long in the game, they came out with each other and are currently married with kids. Before they tied the knot, the competitors wanted another chance at a win, so they went on Amazing Race 30 and achieved their goal, proving themselves to be strong competitors and taking home the win that season.
