Big Brother 23’s Derek Frazier Posts Motivational Update About His Fitness And Weight Loss Journey To Ring In The New Year

by

As we move towards the 2025 TV lineup, it’s becoming increasingly challenging not to daydream about another fresh installment of Big Brother. This anticipation is fueled by our fond memories of Season 26 and the latest updates from the cast members as they welcome the new year. Notably, Derek Frazier from Season 23 recently shared a video to update his followers on his social media platform, offering an uplifting message about his weight loss journey.

Back in Season 23 of Big Brother, I can’t forget the towering figure known as “Big D,” or Frazier, who was famously part of the “Cookout” alliance. You might not recall his name immediately, but he was the son of boxing legend Joe Frazier. After finishing as runner-up that year, he voiced his concerns about the show’s lack of diverse competitions catering to various body sizes to TopMob. Fast forward a few years, and he shared an Instagram video, proudly revealing his weight loss journey – a testament to the hard work he put in to reach this point.

In the season of “Big Brother,” Big D failed to secure a single victory and was ultimately defeated by Xavier Prather. While players like Dr. Will Kirby and other past houseguests were applauded for navigating the game without winning, Big D faced ridicule from online viewers and jabs about his lack of potential to win the game in the end. Although Big D did not discuss any specific struggles he encountered during his weight loss journey, it’s likely that fan criticism was something he had to deal with following Season 23.

Is Tucker Des Lauriers and Rubina Bernabe, the contestants from Big Brother 26, Still a Couple After the Show’s End? Here’s the Current Update.

I’m really excited to imagine Frazier competing on The Challenge, having transformed so impressively. It doesn’t necessarily mean that this entire journey was without purpose if he can’t re-enter the reality TV scene. Still, I have no doubt that those who watched Season 23 on CBS or with a Paramount+ subscription would be thrilled to see his recent makeover.

An alternative could be that Big Brother might ask Big D to participate in another installment of Reindeer Games at some point in the future. Although CBS declined the chance to revive the popular holiday special last year, showrunners are hopeful it will make a comeback in 2025. It’s unlikely we’ll see a season featuring returning houseguests in Season 27, but there might be a possibility for that down the line. I don’t believe he meets the criteria to join Celebrity BB, and even if it were to return, it wouldn’t be any time soon.

After leaving the Big Brother house, Derek Frazier has joined forces with fellow contestant Tiffany Mitchell, producing podcasts centered around the show and other reality TV. On The Heavy Crown network, they offer candid insights into the current season, unafraid to share strong opinions about strategy. Reality TV enthusiasts should definitely give it a listen, especially those who found Frazier amusing during Season 23. I’m thrilled to see that he’s thriving and in high spirits!

Regarding “Big Brother,” it is understood that the series will air its 27th season on CBS, though a specific launch date has yet to be announced. It’s likely that fans will get more information as summer approaches, so perhaps you can keep yourself entertained in the meantime with all the exciting programs coming up on television this winter.
