‘Amazing Race’ cast to be entirely former ‘Big Brother’ houseguests

The next Amazing Race cast is going to be entirely comprised of former Big Brother houseguests. Can CBS capitalize on the positive buzz that Jessica and Cody have created?

News about the fall 2018 Amazing Race cast is quite exciting. A report by TMZ states that CBS is going to present a crossover of its two most popular reality competition shows. The new Amazing Race cast will have only people who have also starred on Big Brother.

This appears to be a tactic to capitalize on the popularity of both shows. The television ratings for Celebrity Big Brother were quite good this winter. Also, two former Big Brother contestants just won The Amazing Race. This has created even more positive buzz.

Jessica Graf and Cody Nickson

As previously reported at Inside the BB House, two members of the Big Brother 19 cast just won The Amazing Race. Fresh off their time in the Big Brother house, Jessica Graf and Cody Nickson did well on another show. The couple proved that they had what it takes to win the $1 million cash prize. Now they have opened the door for another pair to do that in fall 2018.

The new Amazing Race cast

While the return of Jessica and Cody seems unlikely, there are a lot of possibilities for the next Amazing Race cast. As TMZ also noted, at least one former winner has already agreed to take part in the show. Their name hasn’t been revealed yet, but a lot of speculation is taking place on social media.

There is still time for CBS to work out the details, but this looks to be an installment primed for cross-promotion. Big Brother fans are likely to tune in to The Amazing Race. In turn, it should create more buzz for what the network does next with Big Brother. Could it be used to advertise for a second season of Celebrity Big Brother?
