“Ted Lasso,” “Yellowjackets,” “RuPaul’s Drag Race” and Renee Rapp were just a few of the winners from the 35th annual GLAAD Media Awards, held Thursday night at the Beverly Hilton.
It’s the first of two dual ceremonies — the second happens May 11 in New York City — but we’ll go out on a limb and say it’s the best one because it’s first, and in Los Angeles (just kidding). And prior to the awards actually being handed out, the stars were out in force with some absolutely iconic looks for the Red Carpet.
Among them were Sydney Sweeney, Wayne Brady, Chlöe, Jason Sudeikis, Niecy Nash, and that’s barely a sample. Read on and see some of the best outfits and fiercest attitudes from the GLAAD Media Awards 2024.

Big Brother Reindeer Games, the surprise hit of the holiday season, came to a close on Thursday night (December 21) as the Christmas-themed spinoff crowned its first winner. The two-week special kicked off on CBS on December 11 and saw nine former Big Brother houseguests enter “Santa’s Lodge” where they battled it out in a series of holiday-themed competitions in an effort to “save Christmas.” Those nine returning players were Xavier Prather, Taylor Hale, Nicole Franzel, Frankie Grande, Cameron Hardin, Cody Calafiore, Danielle Reyes, Josh Martinez, and Britney Haynes. The show was hosted by fellow Big Brother alumni Derek Xiao, Tiffany Mitchell, and Jordan Lloyd. Thursday’s finale came down to a face-off between Season 24 winner Hale and Season 18 winner Franzel. The pair had to scale a pile of foam pieces, navigate a maze, and build a tower out of snowflakes, and it was that last part that proved the trickiest.

And then there were four. Heading into the season finale of “Big Brother Reindeer Games,” Frankie Grande (BB16), Nicole Franzel-Arroyo, Taylor Hale (BB24) and Xavier Prather (BB23) were all still in the hunt to win the $100,000 grand prize. But which ho-ho-houseguest ultimately claimed victory and saved Christmas?

Put on your Santa detective hats because there’s a perp on the loose on “Big Brother Reindeer Games.”
In an exclusive sneak peek of Monday’s episode (watch above), Elf Ambassador Derek Xiao reveals the details of the Naughty and Nice challenge to the remaining six players. Jill Frost, the North Pole’s resident pop star, has been kidnapped and they must search Santa’s Lodge for clues to identify the culprit.

While some players did not want to win Naughty and Nice in earlier episodes to avoid having to give someone a disadvantage, that sentiment has gone out out the window with fewer people left. “I wanna win this Naughty and Nice challenge because even though the Naughty and Nice advantage always comes with a curse, I wanna be in charge of where that curse is headed,...

Not to be hyperbolic, but “Big Brother Reindeer Games” has delivered some of the best and most exciting comps and comp results in franchise history in just three episodes so far. In the second episode, Cody Calafiore, as the Naughty and Nice challenge winner, got to pick his teammates for the Jingle Bell Brawl and assembled a comp beast dream team of his Season 16 cohorts Frankie Grande and Nicole Franzel, in addition to Xavier Prather, leaving Danielle Reyes, Josh Martinez, Britney Haynes and Taylor Hale on Team Underdogs.
But anyone who thought Cody’s super squad would dominate was very, very wrong. Even with Taylor having to decorate an extra tree as her disadvantage punishment, the underdogs breezed through the comp — and at one point were two trees ahead of Cody’s team — and pulled off the upset to secure safety.

Big Brother has been on the air for over 23 years, delivering wild twists, quests for power, and drama.
This year's entry -- Big Brother 25 -- was the show's longest to date, clocking in at 100 days- long, resulting in one of the biggest duds in its history.
If you were in the market for twists that went nowhere, the game being randomly paused for a week thanks to a twist, and evictions not sticking, it was the season you've always been waiting for.
As a fan since the beginning, I want to forget about Big Brother Season 25 because it went on too long and didn't have the excitement of prior seasons due to the terrible pace.
While there were rumors that CBS could be prepping a Legends season for the winter as the network struggles with a lack of shows due to the strikes, we're getting something different.

It’s not nine lords a leaping but nine alums competing again in the “Big Brother” house. “Big Brother Reindeer Games” unveiled its full cast on Thursday and it’s probably who you might’ve expected.
The cast features five “Big Brother” champs — Cody Calafiore, Nicole Franzel, Taylor Hale, Josh Martinez and Xavier Prather — in addition to Season 12 America’s Favorite Player Britney Haynes and reigning Season 25 Afp Cameron Hardin. Rounding out the cast are “Bb” legends Frankie Grande and Danielle Reyes.
The inclusion of Britney, Frankie and Danielle isn’t too surprising since they were the ones who activated the multiverse on Season 25 with the Time Laser and unleashed “Reindeer Games” when they attempted to fix it on the finale last month.

During the season finale of “Big Brother 25,” perennial host Julie Chen Moonves made a big announcement about an upcoming spin-off series. “Get ready for a brand new show from the ‘Big Brother’ universe. It’s called ‘Big Brother Reindeer Games,'” teased the Chen-Bot. “It’s a new game and a new set of rules, as legendary ‘Bb’ players return to compete to be the last one standing. Six action-packed holiday-themed episodes with special appearances from ‘Bb’ favorites — Jordan Lloyd, Derek Xiao and Tiffany Mitchell — as Santa’s Elves.”
Surprisingly, the “Big Brother Reindeer Games” cast members will not live in the “Bb” house and will not vote each other out. Instead, everything will be centered about competitions. In other words, get ready to hear “Let’s go!” a lot. All six episodes will be pre-taped prior to its debut on December 11, which means there will be no live shows and no live feeds.

‘Tis the season to expect the unexpected. “Big Brother” is launching a new holiday-themed spin-off next month called “Big Brother Reindeer Games.”
As seen on Thursday’s “Big Brother 25” finale, alums Frankie Grande, Britney Haynes and Danielle Reyes broke into the house again to try to close the multiverse with the Time Laser. While they accomplished that, the house became festooned in holiday cheer because now they’ve unleashed “Reindeer Games.”
A six-episode series that will air over two weeks in December, “Reindeer Games” will feature nine “Bb” legends — including someone from Season 25 — competing in, per CBS, “the most holiday-riffic, challenging and unpredictable competitions.” They will be guided by three alums, aka Santa’s Elves, Derek Xiao, Tiffany Mitchell and Jordan Lloyd, who essentially serve as hosts (there’s no official host). Each episode includes three competitions, culminating in Santa’s Showdown, which determines who will be eliminated at the end of the hour.

“Big Brother” is back with its milestone 25th season, which premiered a little later than usual. Here’s everything to know about the season.
When will “Big Brother 25” premiere?
“Big Brother 25” premiered Wednesday, Aug. 2 at 8/7c on CBS with a live 90-minute move-in.
Why is “Big Brother 25” premiering later?
“Big Brother” usually premieres in late June or early July, as it did the past two years, but Season 25 was delayed to buy CBS’ some time with the ongoing writers’ strike. Like every network, CBS has adjusted its schedule as scripted series remain out of production. An August launch and a 100-day season mean Season 25 will conclude on Nov. 9 instead of late September. Season 22 also premiered in August in 2020 due to Covid-19 and wrapped in late October.

Well, this is surprising.
It seemed like we were going into Big Brother Season 25 with little information about what was on tap for the houseguests.
CBS on Friday afternoon shared a surprising sneak peek ahead of Wednesday's live move-in event.
Frankie Grande, Britney Haynes, and Danielle Reyes "broke into" the revamped house that houseguests will call home and "unwittingly unleashed the season 25 twist."
Cameras captured the big moment and the moment the three Bb alums, who all famously lost their seasons, rolled a "Time Laser" into the house.
"The incident has revealed their plan was to go back in time and change the outcome of their seasons," CBS teases.
"But something went horribly wrong, and they unleashed the Big Brother season 25 twist that will be fully revealed in the special 90-minute live move-in episode Wednesday, Aug. 2 on the CBS Television Network," CBS adds.

There will, in fact, be alums in the “Big Brother 25” house this season — sort of. “Big Brother” legends Danielle Reyes, Britney Haynes and Frankie Grande “break in” to the house and unleash the season’s twist, and here is your first look at their not-so covert mission.
After sneaking in, the three also roll the Time Laser into the house. The trio’s plan is to go back in time to change the outcomes of their respective seasons — which they all “famously lost,” CBS notes — but something goes terribly wrong. As a result, they’ve transformed the house decor and accidentally ushered in the Season 25 twist — but you’ll have to wait until the live 90-minute move-in and cast reveal on Wednesday to find out exactly what the twist is.
