There is no denying that contestants on CBS’s The Amazing Race could be great competitors on some of television’s other reality competitions.
One such that many envision the Racers could take on is CBS’s reality competition Big Brother. Those two shows, both slightly different in how they go about their games, aren’t really that different from each other, with the exception that one has their contestants racing nearly non-stop around the world, and the other having games that determine who the “head of the house” would be. With this premise in mind, here are 10 Amazing Race contestants who fans would love to see enter the Big Brother house.
Tyler & James
The Season 10 winners, Tyler & James were a force to be reckoned with right from the start, and their willingness to go all the way and get a roadblock or detour done in order to move on to the next clue would make them perfect contestants for the Big Brother house.
It’s not a sure bet that they would win that competition, but they would certainly make a formable duo who would have to go against each other to claim the grand prize.
Will & Tara
Watching Will & Tara from the second season of The Amazing Race was a headache-inducing experience. They fought tooth-and-nail against each other, and the insults were flying non-stop.
Despite their water-and-oil relationship, they nearly won Season 2, and their personalities, combined with their do-whatever-it-takes attitudes would make them a great fit for the Big Brother house if for nothing else, all of the drama they would produce.
Joe & Bill
Joe & Bill will go down as the show’s first try villains. They treated the other racers as if they were beneath them, and that drama made for great ratings.
Joe & Bill were pioneers of sorts, as they were the originators of the strategies that other teams would use in later seasons. It would be very interesting to see how they would react to contestants in the Big Brother house, or how the other contestants would react to them.
Kendra & Freddy
Few fans of The Amazing Race will ever forget Kendra & Duffy, To fans, this team was the very definition of insufferable, and not many cheer when they won their season.
As rocky as this team was as racers, it would be very interesting to see how they would do inside of the Big Brother house, where drama and individualism rules.
Nick & Vicki
Another toxic couple among the few that competed in the series, Nick & Vicki are ranked as one of the most hated teams in the history of the series.
Much like Flo and Zach, most of the hate was aimed at Nick, who was rude and insensitive to his partner, Vicki. Nick would definitely cause some dramatic moments in the Big Brother house. Vicki? Perhaps not so much. But they’d be interesting to watch.
Dan & Jordan
This team won Season 16, but they were highly controversial as they were accused of cheating to win the season.
Cheating may be frowned upon in the Big Brother house, but that would also make for some truly dramatic moments if the two were able to compete in the reality competition.
Charla & Mirna
These two would make perfect contestants on Big Brother. They were another team that was particularly detested by fans, more so with Mirna than with Charla.
That personal dislike, however, would make for juicy drama in the Big Brother house, as one could see these two battle it out for the right to be the Queen of this drama-filled house.
The Weaver Family
They were a family, yes, but the rules could be bent a little bit to allow the entire family to compete in the Big Brother House. Their time on The Amazing Race was full of ratings-induced drama.
They were complete bullies on the series, and that attitude, while a bit detested on The Amazing Race, is what will make them amazing contestants on Big Brother.
Brendon & Rachel
One was a complete jerk, and the other was a bit of a complainer and crybaby. Brendon & Rachel were some of the few truly insufferable racers on the hit series.
These qualities brought in a lot of drama, and much like every other team on this list, it would interesting to see how their dynamics would transition over into the Big Brother house. Could Rachel take the pressure? Would Brendon’s attitude bring a lot of drama to the house? The possibilities are endless.
Jonathan & Victoria
The Big Brother house would not be the same if Jonathan & Victoria entered the contest. Ranked as one of the worst contestants ever on The Amazing Race, their explosive dynamic was what had viewers tuning in week-after-week.
One would think that their personalities would only magnify in the Big Brother house, in which being snarky, sneaky, and deceitful play a hand in how that game is played.
