Big Brother 28 crowns champion with $750,000 prize

Big Brother 28 has crowned its champion following a dramatic live finale, with the winner taking home the show’s $750,000 grand prize after defeating the runner-up in a six-to-one jury vote.

The season finale aired on October 1 and featured three houseguests competing for the final spot in the championship showdown.

The final Head of Household competition was divided into three parts. The eventual winner secured victories in the second and third rounds, earning the crucial power to decide which houseguest would join them in the Final Two.

The decision resulted in a dramatic last-minute eviction, sending the third-place finalist to the jury before the final vote.

The two remaining contestants then faced questions from the jury about their strategies, alliances and overall gameplay throughout the season.

After hearing from both finalists, the jury cast its votes. Six jurors backed the eventual champion, while one supported the runner-up.

The winner’s earnings did not end with the main prize. The champion was also named America’s Favorite Player, securing an additional $50,000.

Earlier in the season, the houseguest had also won a separate $10,000 prize through the Pharaoh’s Curse twist. With the additional awards included, the champion’s total earnings from the season reached $810,000.

The latest season featured a time-travel-inspired theme and brought together a mix of returning reality television personalities and new contestants.

The eventual champion entered the competition as one of the returning players and steadily built momentum throughout the season. Multiple competition victories helped the houseguest secure a place in the final stages of the game.

The finale also delivered an emotional moment for the third-place contestant. The houseguest had formed a close alliance with the eventual champion but was ultimately eliminated just before the final showdown.

The dramatic conclusion brought the season-long competition to an end, with the champion leaving the house with the biggest prize and several additional awards.
