Big Brother: Christian Reveals Why He’s Not On The Challenge

screenrant.com:

Many fans thought that BigBrother season 23 favorite Christian Birkenberger would be cast on either The Challenge: USA or The Challenge 38, but, now that his name does not appear on either cast list, Christian explained why he will not be competing on the shows. On Big Brother 23, Christian became a frontrunner when he won the first competition and was able to handpick his Kings team, one of four teams that started off the season in a surprise twist. He was immediately targeted by the first Head of Household (HOH), Brandon «Frenchie» French, but he earned his safety for the week when he won the first Wildcard Competition. Christian's physical prowess and incredible social game made him an ideal alliance member, and he became a part of the powerful Royal Flush alliance, which consisted of the Kings, Queens, and Derek Xiao from the Aces. He won a Head of Household competition and two vetoes for his alliance, but, even though they were aligned, Derek X began to see him as the biggest threat in the house.

When Derek X became the HOH the week after Christian, he took the opportunity to backdoor him from the Big Brother house because he was ineligible to play for the HOH and he did not get selected to play in the veto competition. It was one of the biggest betrayals of the season. Although Christian was only in the house for 37 days, he became a fan-favorite because of his competitive spirit, sweet and fun personality, and short-lived showmance with Alyssa Lopez. His curly hair earned him the nickname Goldendoodle.
