On March 22, four of the contestants from “Big Brother” Season 25 hosted a meet-and-greet in Pigeon Forge, TN. The four contestants included winner Jag Bains, Juror Cameron Hardin, and Pre-jurors Red Utley and Reilly Smedley were at Three Bears General Store, and anyone was able to come and meet them for free. They also offered a “VIP Dinner” for $130, which included free merchandise the night before. This isn’t the first “Big Brother” meet-and-greet held in Pigeon Forge, as Red and Cameron hosted two others back in January.
I was lucky to be able to attend both meet-and-greets, and they were both really enjoyable. As a huge fan of reality TV, and especially “Big Brother,” it was amazing to meet up with some of my favorite cast members in person. While at the meet-and-greets, we were able to chat with the contestants, get pictures taken, and get anything signed that we would like. They also had merch available for purchase.
It was nerve-wracking going into the first meet-and-greet, because we didn’t really know the area that well, but in my opinion it was very well set up. They had a clear area to line up, and once they started letting people in, it didn’t take too long to get through at all. It seemed like the second one went a lot quicker, because a lot of people probably went to the dinner on the night before, so they didn’t want to go again.
All four of the contestants took time to talk to everyone, sign their items, and take as many pictures as requested. Jag’s brother Jas also came along, so it was awesome to meet him as well. As we walked out Jas handed us a free coupon to see the live bears the store owns, and a free ticket to the gem mine attraction right beside Three Bears.
