## Summary

Reality television and drag fans have a new crossover to watch, as Big Brother has confirmed that Jason De Puy — better known by his drag persona Salina EsTitties from RuPaul's Drag Race — is joining the cast of its 28th season. The announcement was made on Tuesday 7 July as part of a wider cast reveal, and it matters as another example of Drag Race talent moving into mainstream competition formats, potentially drawing that fanbase to the long-running CBS surveillance show.

De Puy first competed on season 15 of Drag Race in 2023 and is currently appearing in the 11th season of Drag Race All-Stars, as well as releasing music under the EsTitties name, including the 2026 single "Pek Pek". He described himself as a "low-key superfan" who has watched Big Brother since season 16, and outlined a strategy of initially playing coy about his Drag Race background before revealing it to catch rivals off guard. Fellow announced cast members include Melody Morris, Barrett Pfeiffer and LaTrice Verrett, with the new season set to premiere on 9 July on CBS.
