Video: Chelsie Baham reflects on winning ‘Big Brother 26’
Roughly 14 hours after winning “Big Brother 26,” Chelsie Baham discussed her journey and more.
In a surprising twist of events, the “Big Brother” 27 winner has been crowned.
Morgan Pope and Ashley Hollis were set to compete in part three of the Final Head of Household competition. Hollis beat out Pope and decided to take Vince Panaro to the Final 2 with her.
“I love both of you very much,” Hollis said. “You two have both played amazing games, different games.” To Morgan, Ashley said, “You are my best friend in the house. I don’t know if I can beat you in the Final 2. I think it could be a toss-up with Vinny.”
Hollis and Panaro then gave speeches on why the jury should pick them as the winner of “Big Brother” 27, America’s Favorite Player was also crowned and the Mastermind(s) of the season were revealed.
Here’s who won “Big Brother” 2025, the status of Vince’s relationship with his girlfriend Kelsey and with Morgan and where to watch “Big Brother.”
Who won ‘Big Brother’ 2025?
By a vote of 6-1, the winner of “Big Brother” Season 27 was Ashley Hollis, a 25-year-old attorney from Illinois.
How much do ‘Big Brother’ winners get after taxes?
The prize money for first place on “Big Brother” is $750,000. This money is subject to federal and state income taxes, which depend on your tax bracket and the state you live in. The federal tax rate can be as high as 37%, which would already bring winnings down to $472,500.
Who voted for Vince on ‘Big Brother’?
The only person to vote for Vince Panaro on the jury was Morgan Pope.
Was Vince’s girlfriend at the ‘Big Brother’ finale?
No, Panaro’s girlfriend of seven years, Kelsey, was not at the “Big Brother” 27 finale.
Did Vince’s girlfriend dump him?
It is unclear what the status of Panaro and his girlfriend, Kelsey, is. She did not attend the finale and had stopped sending him letters during his HOH wins on the show.
Are Vince and Morgan together?
It does not seem like Panaro and fellow houseguest Morgan Pope are together. After finishing in second place on “Big Brother” 27, it appears that Panaro may still be dealing with the fallout from his close relationship to Pope on the show.
His girlfriend of seven years, Kelsey, apparently didn’t seem pleased with how close Panaro got to Pope on the show. She stopped writing him letters for his HOH wins and didn’t show up at the finale.
Some fans even claimed that what Panaro and Pope had was a “cheatmance,” although Panaro claims that his relationship with Pope was strictly platonic.
Who won Favorite Houseguest on ‘Big Brother’?
The winner of America’s Favorite Player and of the $50,000 prize on “Big Brother” 27 was Keanu Soto.
Who was the Mastermind on ‘Big Brother’ 27?
