The cast for the new season of US Big Brother has been announced – and it includes none other than a RuPaul’s Drag Race All Star.
Jason De Puy, better known to Drag Race fans as Salina EsTitties, has been announced for the 28th season of Big Brother on CBS. His bio lists him as a 35-year-old drag queen from San Francisco, based out of West Hollywood.
The Big Brother stint comes immediately after the queen was eliminated from RuPaul’s Drag Race: All Stars 11.
Salina was part of the “pink bracket”, competing against Crystal Methyd, Silky Nutmeg Ganache, April Carrión, Aura Mayari and Vivacious.
Fans expected her to make it through to the main competition, but she was eliminated after failing to get enough points from Ru and her co-stars.
Now, fans are hoping Jason will do better on Big Brother.
One person said: “I gotta root for Jason because Salina EsTitties was already robbed on one show this year.”
Another said: “Salina EsTitties robbed in plain sight.” A third commented: “Salina EsTitties was robbed.”

In his announcement video, De Puy says: “It feels crazy to be on Big Brother. I’m low-key a super fan, I’ve been watching since season 16, so I’ve been around.”
He adds: “I’m gonna say that I’m a professional drag queen and I’m gonna read the room to see if anyone clocks my tea, and if they clock me, I’m just gonna be like, ‘Yeah, I was on Drag Race.'”
