‘Big Brother’ Derek Frazier Unrecognizable With Drastic Weight Loss
Derek Frazier made an impression on fans thanks to his time on Big Brother. The reality personality recently shared a life update in a video on social media. One of Frazier’s fellow contestants even commented on Frazier’s recent transformation.
Derek Frazier Served As The Runner-Up For Big Brother 23
Originally from Pennsylvania, Derek is notably the son of professional boxer Joe Frazier. At the time he appeared on Big Brother, he was known to be working as a safety officer.
Frazier appeared on Big Brother 23, the show’s 23rd season, back in 2021. Notably, after 85 days competing, Frazier ended up the season’s runner-up, with Xavier Prather as the winner.
Back in 2024, as noted by Us Weekly, Frazier went on a mission to lose weight. The Big Brother alum recently shared his results in a video on TikTok, sharing a “before and after” as he lifted up a barbell.
Frazier captioned the video, saying, “Call it a comeback. To everyone who said ‘no,’ ‘too fat,’ or ‘you’ll never be picked again’ — thanks for the fuel.” He shared his results, noting, “That’s a total of 71 pounds lost in just 10 months. And trust me, I’m just getting started.”
The clip contained audio from an acceptance speech Kanye West gave after winning the Rap Album of the Year at the 47th annual Grammy Awards. At the time, West received ten nominations, ultimately winning three. As West says in the audio, “Everybody want to know what I would do if I didn’t win. I guess we’ll never know.”
Another Big Brother 23 Alum Also Responded To The Video
Fans took to the comments to share their support. In fact, one of Frazier’s fellow contestants, Britini D’Angelo, shared a reaction: “SO SO PROUD OF YOU! YOU INSPIRE ME!!”
D’Angelo and Frazier sparked up a friendship during their time on the show. Notably, D’Angelo has also been on a similar journey over the past year. As shown in an Instagram video released in late December 2024, she detailed a similar transformation,, having lost 37 pounds. At the time, she wrote, “The journey is just beginning.”
“At the beginning of 2024, I made a commitment to take better care of myself. Coming into this year, I was eating extremely unhealthy, wasn’t working out consistently, and I just wasn’t feeling great. I knew I could feel better, so thus, our journey began.”
“This isn’t the end of the journey, but yet, just the beginning. I want to bring what I’ve learned about myself into 2025 and become even stronger.”

In turn, Frazier also shared a response to D’Angelo in the comments, “Going through a fitness journey is not just tough physically. It’s tough mentally and you are doing such a great job. I’m so proud of you and such an inspiration.” He continued, “You look amazing. I’m so proud of you.”
