Kandi Burruss has been on reality TV many times and now she'll also be in the finale of this season of "Celebrity Big Brother."

She's had her fair share of reality TV spin-offs. CBS

Kandi Burruss is from the "Real Housewives of Atlanta" and has starred in a series of miniature Bravo spin-offs like "The Kandi Factory," "Kandi's Wedding," and "Kandi's Ski Trip" — so clearly she's no stranger to having all eyes (and cameras) on her.

Burruss also co-wrote the 90's R&B girl group TLC's hit single "No Scrubs," and if the lyrics to the independent woman's anthem are any indication, this woman knows what she wants, and how to get it.

 

Ricky William is a professional football player who made it to the final five.

Ricky Williams is a retired NFL legend who ESPN considered "one of the best Dolphins running backs to ever suit up." Unfortunately his accomplishments — like winning the Heisman trophy and rushing upwards of 10,000 years in his career — have been sometimes overshadowed by his use of marijuana that landed him on the suspension list for an entire year, as per ESPN's reports.

Ryan Lochte is a six-time gold medalist on the United States Olympic swim team. People called him the second most decorated swimmer in history, but he's also among the most controversial swimmers.

In August of 2016 The New York Times reported that during his time at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio, Lochte and a few of his US teammates had been robbed by locals in Brazil when, in reality, the swimmer had been "drunk and unruly," damaging property at a gas station after a party.

Although the 34-year-old is suspended from swimming until July of 2019, according to ESPN, you might've caught Lochte on season 23 of "Dancing With The Stars."

Lochte was the sec0nd person evicted from the game.

In and out seems to be Anthony Scaramucci's style these days. Otherwise known as "The Mooch," Scaramucci is a New York financier who served as the White House Director Of Communications under President Trump for less than 10 days before being fired by Chief of Staff John Kelly.

Scaramucci's time in the "Big Brother" house was even shorter than his time at the White House, though. Coming into the game as a special twist, The Mooch told Entertainment Weekly his quick cameo was a "straight-up, well-planned twist for the show," one he thinks is "probably one of the more bigger, historical twists where somebody that everyone thought was a houseguest slipped out in the middle of the day."

Scaramucci was a "fake houseguest" who left the game on day six.
