‘Big Brother’ Season 28 Winner Revealed: Who Won the $750,000 Prize?

The 28th season of "Big Brother" concluded with Rick Devens crowned as the winner, claiming the grand prize of $750,000. Competing for the final Head of Household title, Devens outplayed the other contenders, including runner-up Taylor Brown, who earned $75,000. The final episode showcased the jury comprising evicted houseguests voting Devens as the winner with a 6-1 majority.

As the victor, Devens was also declared America's Favorite Houseguest, winning an additional $50,000 in fan vote. Throughout the season, Devens famously "betrayed" Campbell, leading to his eviction after Brown had convinced him to evict his day-one ally, as Campbell was left heartbroken and alone. The show also introduced Jason DePuy's drag persona Salina Estitties to the cast and cemented the bond between Jack "Rome" Seymour and Lyric Medeiros, who are reportedly close to moving in together.

With the 1,000-episode milestone reached, CBS Chair George Cheeks expressed his appreciation for the show, stating its ability to maintain "water cooler" TV conversations, despite the fragmented audience landscape. "Big Brother" has now been renewed for its 29th and 30th seasons, with casting already open for the upcoming season.

The show has proven to be a ratings success, averaging 5.1 million multi-platform viewers, an 8% increase compared to last summer.
