One of the most exciting names on the stacked cast of The Challenge USA is Derek Xiao, a Big Brother 23 fan favorite who will be one of nine former Big Brother players representing the show on the inaugural season of the Challenge spinoff. Derek and the other BB alumni will be joined by contestants from Survivor, The Amazing Race, and Love Island in a fierce battle between CBS reality stars. Though former seasons of The Challenge have featured alumni from CBS reality shows, this will be the first season to air on CBS and the first to feature a cast exclusively comprised of CBS reality standouts.
Derek will be one of several of his Big Brother 23 castmates on The Challenge USA. Joining him will be Alyssa Lopez, Tiffany Mitchell, Azäh Awasum, Kyland Young, and Xavier Prather, the season 23 winner. Additionally, Big Brother All-Stars David Alexander and Enzo Palumbo will be a part of the cast, as will Big Brother 20's fourth-place finisher, Angela Rummans.
