The finale of Big Brother season 28 just aired and the winner has been revealed!
The latest season of the long-running CBS reality competition series, hosted by Julie Chen Moonves, featured 17 houseguests and spanned across 87 days. Among the contestants were three “icon” players from previous seasons of Big Brother and Survivor, with two of them defying the odds and making it to the final four.
Heading into the finale, the final three contestants were Taylor Brown, Drew Campbell, and former Survivor player Rick Devens. In the finale, we watched the three-part head of household competition, which determined who would go to the final two.
Who won Head of Household? Who went to Final 2?
Rick Devens won the competition and was given the option of choosing to bring Taylor or Drew to the final two.
In a moment of betrayal, Rick decided to eliminate his ally and bring Taylor to the final two.
Ultimately, Rick realized he would have a better chance of winning jury votes against Taylor, than against Drew.
The final two talk to the jury
After Drew left the house, the only thing remaining for the final two was to plead their case to the jury.
The jury joined Julie in the live studio to ask their final questions to Rick and Taylor, to help them determine who to vote for in the end.
After the jury cast their votes, Julie revealed the winner.
And the winner is…
Rick Devens is the winner of Big Brother 28
Rick Devens won the $750,000 prize and is the winner of Big Brother. He won 6-1, with Taylor‘s only vote coming from LaLa.
Taylor Brown is going home with the runner-up prize of $75,000.
Rick also won the prize for America’s Favorite Houseguest, which is an extra $50,000. He also got $10,000 from the Pharaoh Curse.
Rick’s final winnings are $810,000.
How much money are Big Brother houseguests paid during the show?
We found out that Big Brother contestants are paid $1,000 per week.
Season 19 contestant Elena Davies spilled on the Trading Secrets podcast, “We’re paid a stipend per week. $1,000 per week, [for] as long as you film. So if, like say you are the first person sent home and you only film six hours in the house, you get your thousand.”
This season, the show spanned 12 weeks.
