Makensy Manbeck finished as the runner-up on Big Brother 26, getting to the final two after winning an amazing number of competitions.
Having Big Brother producers invite Makensy to return for a future season seems like a given. Makensy might even be a great addition to a new season of Big Brother: Reindeer Games.
But she might not be interested in that opportunity. Makensy has made it known that she would walk if she found out a future season included a fellow BB26 cast member.
Maybe that sentiment will change now that everyone is free from the Big Brother house. And maybe public perception will also impact how she interacts with them in the future.
So who is that person that Makensy wants nothing to do with? It’s Angela Murray. Yes, the same Angela who finished as one of the top three vote-getters for America’s Favorite Houseguest.

Although Wes Bergmann announced his retirement from The Challenge during CBS’ USA Season 2 spinoff, many fans continue to beg for his return.
He’s been among the noticeable absences in Season 40, aka Battle of the Eras, which has many of the all-time greats assembled in its 40-person cast.
They include show winners Johnny Bananas, Laurel Stucky, Jordan Wiseley, Chris “Ct” Tamburello, and Cara Maria Sorbello.
While he’s retired from the show, he’s been visible, appearing on Bananas’ podcast and expressing his opinions on social media.
With the former Real World star still heavily involved in the show’s fandom, some might think he’s contemplating a return to the competition.

Wes Bergmann from The Challenge reveals he was ‘collecting data’ for his show, House of Villains. It seems the reality TV show alum was being a “game player” as usual to be successful in his competition. He even spoke to previous competitors.
Preparing For The Challenge Was Hard For Wes Bergmann
Wes Bergmann is a reality show star known for appearing on The Challenge. The series is a spinoff of Road Rules and Real World. However, the series also brought in “fresh meat.” Bergmann did not have to take this route as he was an alum of The Real World: Austin.
Now 40 and married with a one-year-old daughter, Lucy, Wes looks back on his difficult days on The Challenge. The TV personality explained to People, “My fans are on me all the time. They’re like, ‘You’ll come back and you’ll do this. What do you doing?’” The...

Many Survivor contestants do not have many things nice to say about its host Jeff Probst, given the extreme rules that he imposed. While several contestants, who initially developed a romantic bond, found it difficult to continue following the extreme stressful and dire nature of the reality show, this isn’t to say that every relationship in the show was doomed.

As their recent online remarks clearly show, there’s no love lost between The Challenge castmates Laurel Stucky and Wes Bergmann.
Monsters and Critics reported about Wes’ recent comments that Laurel is “not good” at The Challenge regarding her entertainment value or growth over her seasons.
While she’s won several seasons, Wes also suggested she wouldn’t be good at competing on the show if she were the same size as most of her female castmates.
His remarks arrived during a podcast with his rival-turned-friend, former castmate Johnny Bananas, who strongly defended his friend and Season 40 castmate.
Despite that, Wes continued to point out how Laurel has had “opportunities” to showcase growth throughout her time on The Challenge, but he hasn’t “seen it” occur.
After fans mentioned Wes’s criticisms and comments to Laurel on social media, she fired back with some thoughts of her own.

“America’s Got Talent” is TV’s only competition show that embraces all forms of variety acts, whether you’re a singer, a comedian, a magician, an aerialist, or anything in between. Throughout its nearly two decades on NBC, seven solo singers have claimed victory, with the most recent one being Season 14’s Kodi Lee. (See the “AGT” winners list.) However, there are four specific categories that have yet to win the top prize of $1 million and a headline show in Las Vegas. Can any of these types of acts make “AGT” history during the Season 19 finale on Tuesday, September 24?
First up, here’s a refresher on this year’s Top 10 finalists: singer Richard Goodall, quick-change artist Solange Kardinaly, air-dance group Airfootworks, dance crew Brent Street, singer Dee Dee Simon, acrobatic group Hakuna Matata Acrobats, comedian Learnmore Jonasi, dog act Roni Sagi & Rhythm, aerial duo Sebastián & Sonia, and drone group Sky Elements.

Spoiler Alert: This story contains spoilers from the Wednesday, August 28, episode of “The Challenge 40: Battle of the Eras.”
If one thing is known by the cast of “The Challenge” — and the viewers — it’s that Tj Lavin doesn’t mess around. He proved just that during the latest episode. After Era 3 won the daily challenge, captains Tony and Averey were forced to select which other team captains would have to face the losers, Jodi and Darrell, in elimination. However, they couldn’t get on the same page.
While Tony wanted to send Derek and Aviv into the arena, since that’s who Darrell asked for, Averey was extremely close with Derek and refused to turn on them, instead wanting to target Kaycee and Kyland.
They both knew that if they couldn’t agree on who to send into the sand, Tj would make them compete. When neither budged, that’s exactly what happened.

Ever since its humble beginnings on Logo TV in 2009, “RuPaul’s Drag Race” has gone from the little engine that could to one of the highest rated shows on TV and scooping up awards and high-profile fans along the way. More importantly, during these fractured times, “RuPaul’s Drag Race” has provided a safe and happy space for the queer and transgender community.
Yes, there are sickening lewks, backflips and battling lip-syncs, and yes, the show is led by the mother of all drag queens, RuPaul. But as states across the country seek to pass anti-lgbtq+ legislation and restrict drag performances, the show has become a place of identity and community.

The international takeover of “Drag Race” is impossible to ignore.
After earning 10 Emmy nominations for Season 16 of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” and its sister show “RuPaul’s Drag Race: Untucked,” the franchise brought its collective number of nominations to 85 since first airing in 2009.
In its greatest worldwide reach yet, “RuPaul’s Drag Race Global All Stars” premiered Friday, bringing global glamazons from 12 different countries together to compete for the world title.
Tom Campbell, an executive producer since the show’s first season, told TheWrap that even he learned new things about the “Drag Race” fandom in producing the new global franchise.
“I felt I knew everything about ‘Drag Race.’ I could tell you every lip sync, who won, who didn’t win,” Campbell shared. “But now because of the international franchises, I think there are 16 or 17, it’s hard to keep up.”

After winning two of The Challenge: All Stars seasons on Paramount+, Jonna Mannion returned to MTV as one of the 40 cast members for Battle of the Eras.
The epic 40th season features four teams of 10 competitors, determined by the eras they represented in MTV’s 39 previous seasons of The Challenge.
Jonna was part of the Era 3 team, which includes castmates Nia Moore, Averey Tressler, Amanda Garcia, Tori Deal, Cory Wharton, Jordan Wiseley, Leroy Garrett, Tony Raines, and Devin Walker.
Unsurprisingly, Jonna revealed one teammate she particularly fears having to go against: Tori.
Viewers saw them clash during their time on CBS’ spinoff, The Challenge: USA 2, and it was a lopsided matchup in favor of Tori.
Despite that, Jonna revealed that she’s formed a friendship with Tori and feels her castmate gets a “bad reputation” online but is truly “genuine.”

It’s officially “The Challenge” season. Season 40, “Battle of the Eras,” which makes history as the first-ever season of the MTV hit with all returning players, debuts on MTV Wednesday, August 14, and may be the most intense — and emotional — yet.
For those who have been there since the beginning — “The Challenge” launched as “Road Rules: All Stars” in 1998 then changed to “Real World/Road Rules Challenge” the following year — it’s been a surreal journey.
“I’m excited to see people like Ct, Johnny Bananas and Mark Long. I’m old school,” says Jon Murray, founder and executive consultant of Bunim-Murray Productions. “You’ve seen how Ct has emerged and how he went from being this, sort of, tough guy who could trigger at a moment’s notice to someone who is sometimes the calmest guy in the room. It’s great to be able to tell those long, evolving stories.

Leroy Garrett is back on The Challenge for its landmark 40th season, Battle of the Eras, and fans shouldn’t expect this to be the last time he returns to the arena, either. Garrett previously retired from the MTV reality competition series, thanks in part to an incident in which Camila Nakagawa used racist language against him on the set of Dirty 30 and she wasn’t sent home. He later returned to the series for subsequent seasons but decided to formally call it quits after Double Agents, his 12th season. The allure of the competition show was too strong for him to resist, though, and he returned alongside partner Kam Williams for All Stars 4. Now, he’s representing Era 3 in Battle of the Eras and promises to never formally retire again. When asked by TV Insider if he’s fully back now, he answered in the affirmative but added...

Mark Long is “The Godfather” of The Challenge, so it’s only fitting that he’ll represent Era 1 in the upcoming Battle of the Eras.
He’ll have nine other Og castmates with him, several of whom have appeared on the All Stars spinoff seasons with him.
They include Brad Fiorenza, Jodi Weatherton, Darrell Taylor, Derrick Kosinski, Katie Cooley, and Aneesa Ferreira.
However, several of Mark’s castmates, including Rachel Robinson and Chris “Ct” Tamburello, have yet to participate in a season of the All Stars spinoff with Mark as their castmate.
He recently discussed MTV’s upcoming Battle of the Eras season with his friend Johnny Bananas on the Death, Taxes, and Bananas podcast.
During the episode, Mark talked about his team’s chances of competing with the other Era teams and revealed which teammate he felt was a “wildcard” for Era 1.

When Kobe Bryant returned to Philadelphia for his final game, one of the reporters at his press conference was Evan Monsky, Bryant’s former high school basketball teammate at Lower Merion. During the Q&a, Monsky asked Bryant to name the best point guard he ever played with and Bryant, without skipping a beat, saluted “Evan Monsky” as the best passer, before listing the Hall of Famers and All-Stars from his various NBA teams.
It was a good moment because it captured something extremely satisfying in dramatic terms: Every NBA superstar — every superstar in any sport — at some point in their life shared a roster with somebody who did not, in fact, become a superstar themselves. Somebody who may not have played college or even high school ball. That person went on to live a normal life filled with normal highs and lows and probably multiple times every year, that...

Megyn Kelly vehemently rejected Vice President Kamala Harris’ Thursday appearance on the finale of “RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars,” calling the show “disgusting” and “blatantly misogynistic” while adding that she has no right to be weighing in on how “weird” Donald Trump’s running mate Jd Vance is.
“She wants us to listen to her on what’s weird? Not a word of condemnation for that, an endorsement of the show, an appearance on the show,” Kelly decried.
On Monday’s episode of “The Megyn Kelly Show,” Kelly sat down with conservative political pundit Ben Shapiro to discuss the “reinvention” of Harris since she replaced President Joe Biden as the presumptive Democratic nominee going into November’s presidential election.
“The media are trying to convince themselves they’re in love with Kamala Harris after years of recognizing what a political incompetent and buffoon she is. But I think what this...

Kamala Harris will appear on the season nine finale of “RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars” advocating for voting.
Set to air this Friday on Paramount+, the episode will begin with a special appearance from the vice president. “Each day we are seeing our rights and freedoms under attack, including the right of everyone to be who they are, love who they love, openly and with pride,” she said. “So as we fight back against these attacks, let’s all remember no one is alone. We are all in this together, and your vote is your power. So please make sure your voice is heard this November, and register to vote.”
Taped a few weeks before Harris announced her bid for the presidency, Harris joined judge Michelle Visage, Emmy-nominated choreographer Jamal Sims, Lance Bass, Leslie Jones, and Cheyenne Jackson and made her plea, encouraging Americans to register to vote.

All Stars 4 cast members Laurel Stucky, Kam Williams, and Leroy Garrett were among his recent guests.
