Tonight! Julie Chen-Moonves will Crown the $750,000 Winner of “Big Brother 6 AI” During the Live Two-Hour Season Finale Beginning @ 9PM on CBS & Global

On July 16, 2024, sixteen houseguests entered the Big Brother 26 AI House to begin their quest for the $750,000 grand prize. The season featured an artificial intelligence theme. The 16 contestants lived inside a custom-built house on stage 18 in the CBS Studios Center, also known as the Radford Studio Center, which was built in 1928 by silent film producer Mack Sennett. The house is outfitted with hundreds of ants, cameras, and microphones recording their every move 24 hours a day. The Houseguests were sequestered with no contact with the outside world.  During their stay, the Houseguests share their thoughts on their day-to-day lives inside the house in a private room known as the Diary Room.

This week began with only four guests remaining, Cam Sullivan-Brown, a physical therapist from Bowie, Maryland; Chelsie Baham, a nonprofit director from Rancho Cucamonga, California; Makensy Manbeck, a construction project manager from Houston, Texas; and Rubina Bernabe, an event bartender from Los Angeles, California.

The final four, with Cam and Rubina nominated for eviction, competed in a Power of Veto contest, which allowed the winner to determine who would be in the final three. The competition concluded with Makensy as the winner; she proceeded to evict Rubina, leaving Cam, Chelsie, and herself as the final three.

The three-part final HoH competition began Thursday night with an endurance competition that ended around midnight (PT), and Chelsie won this first part and will automatically move on to part three. On Friday, Cam and Makensy faced off against each other in the second part, and Makensy won. Makensy and Chelsie will compete in a Q&A contest, live TONIGHT! The winner of this contest will become the final HoH and will choose who they want to take to the jury.

Tonight’s evicted houseguest will become the seventh member of a jury of evicted guests that includes:

Quinn Martin, a nurse recruiter from Omaha, Nebraska.

T’kor Clottey, a crochet business owner from Atlanta, Georgia.

Leah Peters, a VIP cocktail server from Miami, Florida.

Angela Murray, a real estate agent from Syracuse, Utah.

Kimo Apaka, a mattress sales representative from Hilo, Hawaii.

Rubina Bernabe, an event bartender from Los Angeles, California.

Each of the final two houseguests will try to convince the jury that they deserve to win Big Brother 26 and take home the $750,000 prize. The votes will be cast live. Hostess Julie Chen-Moonves will count the votes and present the results to an audience that includes previously evicted BB26 houseguests, Joseph Rodriguez, Tucker Des Lauriers, Brooklyn Rivera, Cedric Hodges, Kenney Kelley, Lisa Weintraub, and Matt Hardeman.

After the winner is crowned, Julie has one more task, which is to reveal who the viewers voted to win $50,000 “America’s Favorite Houseguest” prize.  CLICK HERE TO VOTE AT CBS
