Josh Duhamel Adds Fun Twist to Big Brother Challenge
Get ready for a Big Brother episode like no other! Josh Duhamel, the charismatic 50-year-old actor, is spicing up our Wednesday night. On September 13th, he’s stepping into the CBS show’s spotlight to host a special Power of Veto game, inspired by his exciting new show, Buddy Games.
In this competition, contestants must roll balls up a hill while feeling dizzy, all in a quest to earn the coveted Power of Veto. This nifty power lets them save one fellow housemate from the chopping block. But beware, the players with the lowest scores in each round will get booted out of the game and face some peculiar punishments.
We’ve got exclusive pictures revealing how the Big Brother house has transformed into the Buddy Games set. You’ll find log cabins, outdoor gear, and lush greenery as the backdrop. Buddy Games, the real deal, premieres on September 14th.
Buddy Games: Duhamel’s Real-Life Fun on CBS
But that’s not all! Josh Duhamel isn’t just making a cameo; he’s bringing his real-life tradition to CBS through Buddy Games. Picture six teams of pals at a lakeside location, battling it out with a mix of physical and mental challenges in the great outdoors. They’ll also be bunking together in a cozy lake house.
This show sounds a lot like Duhamel’s 2019 comedy film with the same name, where friends reunited to compete for a $150,000 prize. It was such a hit that it even spawned a sequel, Buddy Games: Spring Awakening, which dropped in May.
Duhamel himself shared his excitement: “Being able to bring Buddy Games to CBS is truly a dream come true for me. This is something my buddies and I have wanted to share with the world for a long time as we knew there was a relatability to it with other people doing similar things to strengthen their friendships.”
Big Brother: Where the Unexpected Happens
We all know Big Brother sticks to its formula, but it loves to throw curveballs at us. Whether it’s a twist that helps or hinders the players, you can expect the unexpected. Remember season 8’s “America’s Player,” Eric Stein? Some twists have shaken things up, while others have been a golden ticket for clever houseguests like Jun Song.
Josh Duhamel is thrilled to be a part of all this action, saying, “Getting to executive produce and host Buddy Games while observing these groups of friends let loose and become part of this big family has been an honor and will be a lot of fun for viewers to watch.”
A Baby on the Way for Josh and Audra
But wait, there’s more in the Duhamel news department! Josh and his wife, Audra Mari, just announced they’re expecting their first child together. They posted cute sonogram photos on Instagram on September 11th, with the caption “Baby Duhamel coming soon 🤍.”
Even Josh’s ex-wife, Fergie, joined in the celebration, writing, “I am truly happy for you guys 🥰🥰. Axl can’t wait to be a big brother.” (By the way, they share a 10-year-old son named Axl.)
So, mark your calendars for Josh Duhamel’s Big Brother cameo on September 13th at 8 p.m. And don’t forget to catch Buddy Games, the real show, on September 14th at 9 p.m. ET. It’s going to be a wild ride!
