Amanda Garcia is known for not holding back when it comes to castmates from The Challenge she dislikes or doesn’t get along with.

That includes her former partner from MTV’s competition series, Zach Nichols, who criticized her appearance in the upcoming Battle of the Eras.

Amanda will appear in the new season as one of the 40 “legendary” cast members selected from 39 seasons of the reality TV competition series.

While other competitors include multi-time finalists and Challenge winners, Amanda has yet to reach a final or win the show.

However, many fans root for her due to her heart and the drama she provides for entertainment during the episodes.

On his new Zach Nichols Podcast, Zach addressed being the “biggest snub” on Season 40 and gave his thoughts on the cast members in the MTV show’s cast.

With Big Brother season 25 right around the corner, there have been many rumors circling regarding the upcoming season. One of the main rumors claims that the season will consist of former houseguests. While initially, this rumor was exciting to many fans, there are some past houseguests that viewers would not want to watch compete on the show yet again.

When talk of the new season first began, rumors claimed it would be a second chances season. Many believed that past houseguests who either had their game cut short or came just shy of winning the cash prize would get another chance to compete and potentially win. Now, as the milestone season nears closer, rumors claim that the theme of Big Brother 25 may be Vets vs. Newbies. If this is true, the cast would be made up of brand-new players as well as past houseguests.

We recently reported that Jessie Godderz from Big Brother seasons 10 and 11 dropped a new music video. Now, we've got another former houseguest doing the exact same thing! We got the tip off from Usmagazine.com that former Big Brother season 18 castmember Jozea Flores has gotten in on the music video release action, and he included a couple of other reality stars in his video. I just got through watching it, and it has this very weird undertone to it. Jozea is seen dancing like a stripper throughout the entire video. He's also rapping. His lyrics are surprisingly ok, but the video still has a weird vibe to it. It is entertaining to watch though. The...

If the cast of “Celebrity Big Brother” votes out Omarosa first, they’ll be making a huge mistake. In the past, houseguests have united together to send home controversial players early on, including Devin Shepherd (Season 16), Audrey Middleton (Season 17), Jozea Flores (Season 18). As a result, the show suffered in the long run by losing such colorful personalities. Even though Omarosa is bound to be an annoyance to her fellow “Celebrity Big Brother” houseguests, it’s imperative that they keep the reality TV villainous for one reason: Drama!

Omarosa became a household name in 2004 thanks to Donald Trump when she was cast in Season 1 NBC’s “The Apprentice.” She returned four years later for the first cycle of “The Celebrity Apprentice.” Despite losing both competitions, Trump saw something special in Omarosa and hired her as a political aide after he was elected president in 2016. Omarosa lasted a year in the White House...
