Also appearing are David Alexander (seasons, 21, 22), Enzo Palumbo (seasons 12, 22), and Angela Rummans (season 20).

The competitors will also be vying for a spot on The Challenge: Global Championship (working title), which will stream exclusively on Paramount+.
There are 28 reality television show alumni competing on The Challenge: USA, which will be hosted by TJ Lavin. The Big Brother contestants will face competitors from several shows. From Survivor, fans will see Domenick Abbate, Tasha Fox, Danny McCray, Shan Smith, Desi Williams, and winners Tyson Apostol, Ben Driebergen, and Sarah Lacina.

In a video shared by The Challenge: USA. Kyland said that he is "pretty good at chess" and a pretty big strategist. Tiffany explained that because she is a mom, her secret talent is wisdom.
Another very important part of playing The Challenge: USA will be forming alliances, which requires a strong social game. Enzo said that he can "definitely boom box" and rap a little bit too, so he will "definitely use that in here with these knuckleheads." Azäh shared that she is known to be "great cook, a fantastic singer, and an incredible crier," referring to her emotional experience on her season. Big Brother 23 winner Xavier also mentioned a talent that could help his social game by being funny. He said that he can do a "London accent," which he did a lot in the Big Brother house. He attempted to recreate it during the video, jokingly apologizing to anyone who is British or Australian because he is "working on it."
The Challenge: USA is sure to be one of the most exciting shows of the summer. The Big Brother houseguests who are competing revealed some of their secret talents, but fans of the show know that they have even more to offer. After witnessing Xavier, Tiffany, Kyland, and Azäh dominate the game in the iconic Cookout alliance, seeing Enzo stay loyal to his alliances The Brigade and Cody Calafiore in his seasons, and watching Angela get so close to her Level Six alliance that she fell in love with and eventually got engaged to fellow member Tyler Crispen, fans know that these players have the potential to win the game. Alyssa, Derek, and David are also amazing competitors who deserve another chance to win. The Big Brother houseguests are trained to "expect the unexpected," so they are ready for The Challenge: USA.
The Challenge: USA premieres Wednesday, July 6 on CBS.
