Hours after the Big Brother 28 cast was announced, Entertainment Weekly came in with quite the headline, which is only proper for a former newscaster. The outlet revealed that allegedly two-time Survivor player Rick Devens will be entering the game and playing as a full-fledged houseguest. Devens was arguably the biggest star of his reality TV debut in Season 38, Edge of Extinction, ultimately going out in fourth place. He returned to the game more than a half-decade later on Survivor 50, where he placed in seventh after yet another standout performance. If hiding fake idols and flipping a do-or-die MrBeast coin is any indication, Devens is ready to create some shenanigans inside the house!
Age: 42Location: Macon, GAOccupation: Director of CommunicationsDescribe yourself in 3 words: Fun, chaotic, and loyal.What made you want to spend your summer in the Big Brother house? I wanted to spend my summer in the Big Brother house because it's the next great adventure, and I love an adventure!How do you think Survivor has prepared you for Big Brother? On that island, you're dealing with some big personalities, you're trying to figure out how things work, and you're causing a little bit of chaos. And I think those are things that are going to transfer well into the house.What aspects of Big Brother do you think will be harder than Survivor? I think the main thing that's going to be harder on Big Brother than Survivor is the pace. You're in here for such a long time. I really like to get going, and I'm really going to have to slow myself down just a little bit. Also, being away from my young kids is going to be really tough. It was tough out there on the island for 26 days. Now I'm going to be here all summer, hopefully!What's one Survivor skill that you think will translate to the Big Brother house? I think fire making is something that's...oh, wait, no. [Laughs.] Probably relationships with people. Understanding how to bounce back when a relationship goes bad, not take it too personally, but be able to get right back on that horse and let them know we didn't vote together this time, but that doesn't mean we can't vote together next time.What would you anticipate being scarier: Tribal Council or being on the block? think being on the block is going to be scarier than Tribal Council, because Tribal Council is where I do some of my best business. Whereas being on the block, you know you're one of two people that has a chance of going home. It's not everybody that could be going home, it's just you and that one other person.What do you think is your reputation coming into Big Brother? I think the reputation I developed in Survivor is that I can be a chaotic player, and then I can make it hard for other people to play the game they want to play. They have to spend too much time reacting to me. So I need to kind of give the impression, whether it's true or not, that, "No, I'm easy to play around! You don't have to worry about me."Who from your previous Survivor seasons do you think would thrive in the Big Brother house? I think that Christian Hubicki and Rizo [Velovic] — R-I-Z-G-O-D, RizGod — baby, would both thrive in the Big Brother house. They both have such social games. I think Christian would crush the challenges. Rizo doesn't really do challenges. I think Ozzy would be in misery because that dude needs to be outdoors. That guy needs to be catching fish, he needs to be swimming, making fire. And as far as I know, you can't do any of that in the Big Brother house. I think people would get upset if he tried to cook one of the fish that's in the Big Brother house.What's your strategy going into the house? I do have a strategy coming into the Big Brother house. I have some things that I like to think of as my equivalent to planting a fake idol at Tribal Council that I'm looking forward to bring it into the house. And I just think that letting people know that when I find my group I'm super loyal is going to be a big thing to me, even though it might not be true this time around. We'll have to see how it goes!Related: ‘Big Brother 28’ Cast Name Their Favorite Players — and One Has a Shocking Connection Outside of the House (Exclusive)
Angela Murray

After much speculation among Big Brother fans of the possibility of returning players, Men's Journalconfirmed that indeed, a previous houseguest will be walking back through the door. Angela Murray immediately made a name for herself two years ago, becoming the first HoH on Big Brother 26, where she went on an iconic rant against Matt Hardeman. After that, she was labeled a house pariah, nominated a whopping seven times. But she was also involved in some of the most chaotic moments of the season, including the veto being used on her thrice. After taking a brief stopover to Europe on The Amazing Race 38 with her daughter Lexi Murray, Angela is ready to take another bite of Big Brother like a fresh charcuterie plate.Age: 52Location: Syracuse, UTOccupation: RealtorPrevious Season:Big Brother 26 (6th place)What have you been up to since we last saw you in the house? What haven't I been up to? I have been traveling. Very exciting for me, because I went on my first cruise. I got to go to New York. I went through Europe. I was on The Amazing Race, so that was super cool. And just loving life, loving my family. So many opportunities I've been afforded since being on Big Brother and The Amazing Race.How did being on The Amazing Race prepare you for Big Brother again? I have to tell you, it was very unexpected to be asked back. Very unexpected, super exciting. Honestly, I feel like Big Brother is more of a marathon, where Amazing Race is just that: It is a race for your life. Here, Big Brother, you can just chill just a little bit, and maybe now I won't be so anxious and paranoid. Who am I fooling? Yes, I'm gonna be paranoid! Yes, I'm gonna be anxious! I'm just gonna wear my heart on my sleeve, like I always do.Why did you feel like now was the time to come back on Big Brother? I definitely feel like there's unfinished business in the Big Brother house. I felt it in my core that I could win, and had I just made a few slight adjustments there at the end, I very well could have been one of the Final Three. So, this time around, I have a little bit of a strategy going in that I hope I can pivot where I need to. And now that I've been through it, I feel like I can see and recognize things that you know that I should be aware of more. I have a plan, I think, somewhere in my head of what I'm gonna do. But you know me! I wear my heart on my sleeve, I tell it like it is. I really just don't have a filter, so I'm going to have to really bite my tongue a little bit more. Maybe, but probably not.What was the biggest mistake you made on your first season? The biggest mistake I probably made was not aligning myself with Chelsiea. I should have conveyed to her that I was less of a threat and wanted her to be there and wanted to see her, Cam and Makensy and solidify something with them. I wish I had done that, and kind of seen more clearly what was going to happen now. Looking back, I can clearly see the way that the events happened, and a pivotal point where I could have really ensured my stay.What can we expect from a second season of Angela Murray? I think fans can expect to have the same old Angela. I don't know how to be anybody but me. I'm 52 years old, and I've come this far, and I just feel like you're just gonna get the same. I can tell you all day long I've got strategy, which I do. But it always changes. Things change in life, and you just have to roll with it. I roll with my emotions. I'm a very emotional type of girl; Big Brother brings that out in you. And so you'll probably just get the same old Angela. Sorry!
