The Anonymous season 1’s Xavier Prather, a former Big Brother winner and The Challenge: USA competitor, reveals which BB houseguest would be the biggest threat on the brand-new reality TV competition. The Anonymous season 1, which will feature familiar faces in reality TV and newcomers to the competition world, mixes several different competition shows together to create an entirety new concept. With twists from shows like The Traitors and The Circle, the social competition asks its participants to play in both in-person and online modes, with the players hoping to remain the most anonymous in order to remain undetected.
“If people don’t know her, she’s a terrifying threat”
In conversation with Screen Rant, Big Brother 23 winner Xavier Prather shared he had ideas about which of his former BB houseguests would be the most threatening on his new series, The Anonymous. Xavier, a strong physical and mental competitor on Big Brother, felt many of his past BB co-stars would be able to handle The Anonymous, but one stood out. “I feel like Tiffany [Mitchell] would do great, but do people know her? If people know her, then she’s an obvious threat – but if people don’t know her, she’s a terrifying threat and people don’t realize it,” Xavier explained.
Which Big Brother Players Could Handle The Anonymous?
Past Houseguests Have Had Varied Success On Other Shows
The Anonymous’ Xavier shared more about who would do well on the new show, which mixes social strategy and strategic ability to create a high-stakes, high-risk game. From his season, Xavier shared he feels, “Big D [Derek Frazer], could do well, too, but Big D might pop off.” Outside his season of Big Brother, Xavier felt that Dan Gheesling, who took on The Traitors season 2 and made a tough run may be good at changing between in-person and online modes of competition, and BB 14 winner Ian Terry would be able to fly under the radar on the series.
While Xavier named a few members of his past franchise who he felt would be a good fit for The Anonmyous, BB players don’t always have the best track record coming into other competition shows. Traditionally, former houseguests don’t tend to have strategies that other competitors enjoy on The Challenge, and struggle to compete with the elements on shows like Survivor. With Xavier coming into a new series entirely from the social strategy of Big Brother, it’ll be interesting to see how he does on a show like USA’s The Anonymous, which bends social strategy in an entirely new way.
As The Anonymous season 1 rolls out, learning more about the series should bring reality TV competition fans to the show. A mix of traditional reality TV competition and high-tech anonymity, The Anonymous has something to appeal to every reality TV competition lover. Xavier, who is one of the strongest BB players in the last several years, has other reality TV competition experience and shared that his new show was incredibly difficult, creating a brand-new style of play that the veteran hadn’t experienced before. The Anonymous may be throwing BB alumni and the rest of its cast for a loop.
The Anonymous premieres on Monday, August 19 at 11 p.m. EDT on USA.
