The Bachelor and Big Brother are both incredibly successful reality television shows on ABC and CBS, respectively. In addition to its original format, Big Brother also has a spin-off series title, Celebrity Big Brother, and surprisingly, not a lot of ex-Bachelor contestants have appeared on the program.
Resident bad boy, Chad Johnson, who fans will remember as the guy who swore at Chris Harrison as he was being kicked off Bachelor in Paradise, was recently on the UK's Celebrity Big Brother, but that seems to be the extent of crossovers. Bachelor contestants love being cooped up in a house with cameras watching their every move, so here's a list of ten ex-Bachelor Nation cast members who would be great on CBS's hit reality program.
Nick Viall
Nick is a reality television show veteran, having appeared on two seasons of The Bachelorette, one season of Bachelor in Paradise, starring in one season of Th Bachelor, and competing on Dancing with the Stars. It only makes sense that this still very eligible bachelor would appear on a show like Big Brother. He would have a great chance at not only winning the prize money, but winning a lucky lady's heart as well.
Corinne Olympios
Corinne was the villain on Nick's season and the target for many of the other women in the house. Corinne was one of the youngest contestants and took every opportunity to throw herself at Nick.
Her shameless approach and lack of consideration for everyone else in the house would make her a very entertaining roommate on Big Brother, and if Nick is in the house too, maybe they could rekindle that old flame.
Kendall Long
Kendall was a fan favorite on Arie's season of The Bachelor and equally as lovable while on Bachelor in Paradise. Kendall has a very laid back attitude and seems to get along with just about every personality type. She would be a great roommate and a solid voice of reason and support for other contestants if she ever appeared on Big Brother. The chances of that seem slim though, as she is happily dating Joe "Grocery Store Joe" Amabile after the two met on BIP, and seems to be very happily attached.
Hannah Brown
Like Nick Viall, Hannah Brown seems to be another Bachelor Nation alum making the rounds on different television programs, even making a handful of guest appearances on this past season of The Bachelor where her ex, Peter Weber was on his journey to love.
Hannah certainly loves to stir the pot and isn't shy in front of the cameras, which would make her a great contestant to watch on any reality program, but especially Big Brother.
Tyler Cameron
America wants more of this heartthrob. When Hannah let Tyler go during the finale of her season of The Bachelorette, fans were devastated, but at the same time, anxious to see who Tyler would date next. During the After the Final Rose special, Hannah asked Tyler out on a date and he accepted and the two have been seen quarantining together recently, so maybe if they both ended up in the Big Brother house, they could really give it another shot.
Peter Kraus
Here's another contestant fans wanted more of and were heartbroken to see leave. Peter Krause had one of the saddest breakups in Bachelor Nation history when he said goodbye to Rachel Lindsay on season thirteen of The Bachelorette.
Fans of the franchise haven't seen much of Peter since he left the show as he is one of the few contestants who chose not to ride his fifteen minutes of fame and instead, returned to normal life once he was done filming.
Tia Booth
Tia was a contestant on the 22nd season of The Bachelor, who quickly became a fan favorite. After being eliminated in week eight of Arie's season, Tia returned to the franchise for Bachelor in Paradise, where she fell for Colton. Colton and Tia gave it a shot, but ultimately the two weren't compatible and Colton went on to be the Bachelor, while Tia re-embarked on her journey to find her own happily ever after.
Blake Hortsmann
On Becca Kufrin's season of The Bachelorette, Blake was everyone's number one choice for Becca, but ultimately, Becca chose Garrett over Blake.
Fans changed their opinions about Blake when he appeared on Bachelor in Paradise and was the center of some intense drama and a couple of love triangles. An appearance on Big Brother might give Blake the redemption he needs after the rough season.
Hannah Ann
Hannah Ann is everyone's new favorite contestant after her break-up with Peter Weber, where she didn't back down and really spoke up for herself. After the cameras stopped rolling, Hannah Ann stayed in the spotlight, publicly voicing her opinions about her ex and the multiple relationships he's had with different contestants from the show post-taping. Hannah Ann would be great on another reality program that lets her be herself and tell it like it is.
Maddie Prewett
If producers on Big Brother really wanted to stir the pot, and Hannah Ann was already in the house, they would add Maddie to the mix and watch both fans and Peter squirm. Hannah Ann and Maddie seem to be friends post-Bachelor, but that could change if they were put in the same house again and started to re-hash the past. At the very least, it would be an interesting experiment for fans to observe.
