Caleb Matthew Reynolds (born November 27, 1987) is an American hunting guide and reality TV star from Hopkinsville, Kentucky. He is best known for his appearance on the sixteenth season of the reality series Big Brother, where he placed fourth. He also competed on the 32nd season of Survivor, Survivor: Kaôh Rōng. He was medically evacuated on day 9 of the competition, after he collapsed from heat stroke due to extreme heat; this resulted in him placing 15th. He then returned two seasons later, for the 34th season, Survivor: Game Changers.
Caleb was a contestant on the sixteenth season of Big Brother. Frequently referred to on the show as "Beast Mode Cowboy," Caleb was recruited after applying for The Amazing Race with his friend. He was in the second group to enter the house and became the Head of Household after winning the "Over the Coals" competition. He later became the first official HoH after his nominees (Donny and Paola) failed to win the "Battle of the Block" competition. Caleb created the "Bomb Squad" alliance with his fellow HoH Frankie, which includes Amber, Christine, and all of the men except Donny and Hayden.
In week 3, Caleb volunteered for Derrick to nominate him so Derrick and Nicole could backdoor Devin; Derrick then nominated Caleb and Jocasta. In week 6, Caleb was nominated alongside Victoria by Donny, who was HOH along with Nicole. However, Caleb and Victoria won Battle Of The Block, dethroning Donny and securing their safety from the block. However he had to endure three punishments, which included eating slop for 2 weeks, Adam and Eve (chained to Victoria in leafy costumes for 48 hours) and one had to shave their head. On Day 49, Caleb won his second HOH of the season making the him the first person to hold the title twice officially.He nominated Hayden and Donny for eviction. However, Donny won the POV and Caleb named Hayden's showmantic partner Nicole as the replacement nominee, resulting in Hayden's eviction.
On Day 70, Caleb won his third HOH of the season, which was an endurance competition making him the first person to be HOH officially three times unlike Frankie and Nicole who have four and three HOHs respectively and were dethroned twice. He nominated Nicole and Christine for eviction. Christine won POV, which meant that Caleb named Victoria the replacement nominee alongside Nicole, in hopes that Nicole would be evicted a second time. In Week 12, Caleb won his fourth HOH of the season. Only counting official or permanent HOHs, he is tied with Drew Daniels (winner of season 5), Janelle Pierzina (third place on season 7), Hayden Moss (winner of season 12), Rachel Reilly (winner of season 13), Ian Terry (winner of season 14), Aaryn Gries (eighth place on season 15), Vanessa Rousso (third place on season 17), and Steve Moses (winner of season 17) for the most HOHs in a single season. He then nominated Frankie and Victoria for eviction.
