The “Big Brother” house wasn’t very merry for one former houseguest Monday night.

“Big Brother Reindeer Games,” the first-ever "Big Brother" holiday special, premiered Dec. 11, with nine former cast members competing in a series of holiday-themed challenges and vying for the $100,000 grand prize.

So, who went home during episode 1? Here’s a look.

Who went home on ‘Big Brother Reindeer Games’?

Cameron Hardin, who just won America’s Favorite Player in "Big Brother" season 25, went home during the first episode.

Britney Haynes, a season 12 and 14 alumna, won the Naughty and Nice Challenge, earning an advantage in the Jingle Bell Brawl, plus the ability to give a disadvantage to another competitor. She elected to give it to "Big Brother 22" winner Cody Calafiore.

Neither played a big role in the grand scheme of things, though, as season 16 star Frankie Grande won the Jingle Bell Brawl. Grande then sent Hardin and "Big Brother 23" winner Xavier Prather into an elimination challenge, in which Prather won and sent Hardin home.

What is 'Big Brother Reindeer Games'?

"Big Brother Reindeer Games" is a spinoff of "Big Brother," where nine former houseguests compete in holiday-themed competitions. They will not live in the house, nor will they vote each other out. (So it's not really "Big Brother.") There also won't be live feeds, and Julie Chen Moonves isn't the host.

Every episode has three competitions, and each competition has a showdown at the end, deciding which player is eliminated from "Reindeer Games." There will eventually be four finalists competing for $100,000.

Does 'Big Brother Reindeer Games' have live feeds?

No. The contestants are not living in the house, therefore there are no live feeds.

What channel is 'Big Brother Reindeer Games' on?

"Big Brother Reindeer Games" airs live on CBS, Paramount+ and other streaming services with live TV, such as Hulu + Live TV. Episodes are available the next day on demand on Paramount+ and various live TV streaming services.
