How Will Big Brother Reindeer Games Work?
The official synopsis for the show reads, “This ultimate holiday showdown brings together legendary former players, including previous winners and America’s Favorite Players. The holiday special filled with the most challenging and unpredictable holiday-themed competitions will pit BB legends against each other as they face a new game with an all-new set of rules.”
Big Brother Reindeer Games will eliminate contestants solely by competitions, rather than eviction votes. Each episode will consist of three games ending in “Santa’s Showdown,” which determines the elimination of one contestant. There will be no live feeds for the spinoff show.
