Survivor Alum Rick Devens Wins Big Brother 28 and $810,000 Total

Rick Devens is your Big Brother 28 champion. The former Survivor contestant took the crown in a 6-1 jury vote over Taylor Brown, locking in the $750,000 grand prize and bringing his total winnings to $810,000 thanks to $50,000 for America’s Favorite Player and $10,000 for the Pharaoh’s Curse. Brown took home $75,000 as runner-up. LaTrice Verrett was the lone juror who voted her way.

The finale twist? Devens won the final Head of Household and chose Brown for the final two instead of Drew Campbell, the ally he affectionately called“son”all season. He admitted his heart wanted to stay loyal, but his brain knew Campbell could beat him. Campbell landed on the jury, and several evicted Houseguests had plenty to say about his gameplay afterward.

So the debate now is whether Devens pulled off a masterstroke or a cold-blooded betrayal, and whether Survivor players simply have the edge in crossover competition. Either way, the Big Brother house has a new king. Who do you think deserved that final two spot: Brown or Campbell?
