On July 5, the Big Brother Instagram account posted a photo of a table with a framed photo of an ocean shoreline and a bowl full of wine corks, and captioned it "life's a beach."
A background mirror also showed a glass of red wine on the table, and the hashtag included #BB27, #BigBrother and #Clue.
While Derek is originally from Baltimore and currently lives in San Francisco, CA, he and fellow Big Brother 23 houseguest Claire Rehfuss began dating and moved to Los Angeles, CA together shortly after their 2021 season of Big Brother ended.
In 2022, Derek and Claire also competed on -- and subsequently won! -- Season 34 of The Amazing Race, which included a leg where the teams traveled to Italy and Derek and Claire completed a Detour task named "Window of Opportunity."
"Window of Opportunity" required the teams to find three shop's wine windows and then pick up and deliver some Italian items to a trattoria to receive their next clue.
