The Super Bowl-level excitement for Big Brother fans is palpable as the blockbuster CBS reality show will unveil its winner tonight, and fans can trade Big Brother odds on prediction markets. Big Brother 28 will conclude with one of Rick Devens, Drew Campbell, or Taylor Brown bringing home the $750,000 prize. The season’s evicted houseguests will determine who will win. There will be a jury questioning process.
The season has been unusual, with a time-travel vibe to go along with it, also being called Big Brother: Time Trip. There are references to the dinosaurs, a prospective “future,” and the 1980s. It is a 90-minute show.
Prediction markets are active, with investors making their picks and trying to profit from being right as to who comes out on top.

Big Brother Season 28 Winner Prediction
The finale of Big Brother 28 and its accompanying odds on the markets are unusual in that there is no overwhelming favorite. The split between Devens and Campbell is only 10 percentage points. Brown is far behind in the 15% range. With that, there is a good return in picking either of the top two and a massive return if Brown happens to win.
Rick Devens walked into the Big Brother house already known to reality show competition aficionados from his time on Survivor. In addition, he worked as a newsperson with a likable, polished persona. His strategy has been to be a team player who was willing to put his interests to the side to work for the greater good. But it’s not the fans who will vote. It’s former cast members. There is a good chance he gets through and takes the prize, but it’s not assured.
Drew Campbell is gregarious and uses his personality to advance his agenda. He has not made enemies and has not been associated with a particular faction, lending credence to the idea that his seeming harmlessness will benefit him in the finale. The cast members who are voting will know better whether that was a perspective that was put forth through the televised narrative and he was more conniving or was a 24/7 thing. It’s safe to assume that his portrayal is legitimate since reality shows try to maximize as much conflict as possible.
At around 40%, he too would bring in great profit.
Taylor Brown has some support as a person who works with children in her everyday life as an elementary school counselor. She’s witty, funny, and does not fall into the “troublemaker” category as she was initially perceived. Again, the voters will know her well, and her advancement to the final has been something of a surprise until people realized that they could relate to her and her popularity among fans grew. While few seem to think she will win, the profit would be enormous given the current low percentage to take home the cash. Maybe the other two finalists will split the vote and open the door for her to squeak through.
Campbell might be the wise pick here. It appears as though he was effective at forging alliances in addition to showing a moderate and inconspicuous attitude toward the show, trying to make friends with people and avoiding overt disputes. It would be a large ROI were he to win, given that Devens is the current favorite. Picking Campbell is a hedge since he’s right between the other two finalists. It would be worthwhile to go with him.
