Huge Brother Season 23 modified the sport as we all know it and topped the flagship model’s first Black winner. The Cookout alliance has gone down in historical past, and plenty of of them have gone on to take part in The Problem and the superb BB vacation spinoff Reindeer Video games. Truly, all besides one has carried out that, and it is Derek Frazier. With that, the star simply referred to as out CBS for snubbing him in the case of different TV gigs.
Derek completed in second place in Season 23 of Huge Brother and have become the second participant to succeed in the finale with zero competitors wins since Dr. Will Kirby. Superfans could also be fast to level out each Houseguests took drastically totally different paths to attain that aim, with Dr. Will’s transfer totally intentional. I can see the gripes some would have with Huge D being granted one other shot on TV given his aggressive historical past. Nonetheless, after listening to his newest feedback, I feel he deserves a shot.
What Derek Frazier Had To Say To CBS About Not Being Invited On Extra Actuality Exhibits
Again when CinemaBlend first interviewed Derek Frazier after Huge Brother, he wasn’t afraid to take goal at CBS for not making extra comps for various physique varieties. Whereas the present has made fewer competitions that favor ripped twenty-somethings who hit the gymnasium twice a day, it hasn’t prolonged an invitation to Derek on any of its CBS manufacturers. In a snarky X thread, a part of which has been deleted, he “thanked” the community for excluding him when all his different alliance members have appeared elsewhere:
CBS, thanks. Since Huge Brother 23, 5 out of six members of The Cookout have competed on CBS competitors reveals, and I admire you making it clear how you are feeling about me. Belief me, it doesn’t really feel good, I undoubtedly really feel overlooked…And let me simply say this for all of the folks telling me to “get a full-time job.’ I’ve been a director full-time since 2021, for the final three years. Oh, and I’ve additionally misplaced over 71 kilos, figuring out seven days every week. So let’s be clear, there aren’t any excuses right here. I’m simply talking information and telling the reality!
CinemaBlend beforehand reported on Derek’s weight reduction journey and the motivational replace he shared with followers after shedding the kilos. It looks like he is doing all he can to get one other shot a actuality TV, and I am on his facet that it must occur.
Why Derek Deserves One other Alternative On A Actuality Competitors Present
Whereas I’ve lengthy advocated for a lot of BB gamers deserving of a second probability, Derek Frazier’s case is far totally different from different Houseguests’. Here is a man who made it to the top of Season 23, however did not win a single competitors. Along with his newest weight reduction journey behind him, it looks like pure storytelling for him to go on The Problem and present he isn’t as hopeless in the case of competing as he was portrayed the primary time round.
In fact, there’s all the time an opportunity Derek will get that chance and proceeds to compete as poorly as he did on Huge Brother. Nonetheless, it appears like compelling actuality TV to me, and he appears greater than OK with taking that threat if it means teaming up with a few of his former Cookout members as soon as once more. Additionally, he is the son of boxing legend Joe Frazier. That has to depend for one thing, proper? If CBS will not spotlight him, possibly The Traitors will. That mentioned, possibly Huge D will need to discuss to Gabby Windey concerning the pay earlier than committing.
Huge Brother is on hiatus proper now however will return for Season 27 sooner or later this summer time. I do not count on Derek Frazier to be part of the solid, although this franchise is all the time good at delivering surprising twists. We’ll simply have to attend and see who finally ends up a part of the solid!
