Big Brother Season 25 Finale: Jag Bains Emerges Victorious
Warning: This article contains spoilers for the Big Brother season 25 finale.
After 100 days locked inside a fake house, a winner finally emerged victorious from season 25 of the CBS reality franchise on Thursday’s live two-hour finale.
Jag Bains, Matt Klotz, and Bowie Jane formed an alliance called the Mafia, and then proceeded to mow down every single name on their hit list, including competition beasts like Cameron Hardin, strategic threats like Cory Wurtenberger, and reality TV legends like Cirie Fields. After they ousted Felicia Cannon on Sunday’s live eviction episode, it was time to compete against each other to sit in the final two chairs and plead their case to the jury.
The first part of the three-section final Head of Household competition was an endurance challenge that forced the players to sit on big bubbles and be thrown against a haunted house while also being dipped in scrambled eggs and blasted with colored paint. Bowie Jane was the first to drop, leading to an endurance battle between Matt and Jag. With no end in sight and the competition closing in on the three-hour mark, the Minutemen decided to settle it with a game of rock, paper, scissors. Matt went with rock and Jag chose scissors, leading to Matt winning part 1 of the final HOH and automatically advancing to part three.
In part two, Jag easily defeated Bowie Jane to advance to yet another battle against Matt in part three. Ultimately, Jag won part three to guarantee himself a spot in front of the jury.
During the finale, Jag made the decision to evict Bowie Jane and take Matt to the final two. While it appeared that Jag’s decision may have cost him $750,000, the jury ultimately rewarded Jag’s competition and strategic prowess over Matt’s social game, handing him the win with a 5-2 vote.
In the end, Jag Bains became the first Sikh winner in franchise history, walking away with the $750,000 prize.
It was an eventual finish to a topsy-turvy season, but in the end, Jag Bains emerged as the ultimate victor in Big Brother season 25.
