On October 13, the Big Brother 26 finale will air, and the coveted $50,000 America’s Favorite Houseguest prize will be awarded, and Leah Peters deserves the honor. In addition to the $750,000 grand prize and the $75,000 prize for the runner-up, fans vote for their favorite houseguest. The first America’s Favorite winner was legend Janelle Pierzina in Big Brother 7. The only player to win the prize twice was Jeff Schroeder in Big Brother 11 and 13. During Big Brother 24, Taylor Hale made history by being the first player ever to win both the game and America’s Favorite Houseguest.
