Everything to Know About ‘Big Brother’ Season 26 (Including Who Won)

Last year, Big Brother's 25th season set a number of records for the veteran reality franchise. But before we knew it, summer is on it's way. And it won't be long before another group of houseguests come into our lives to face extreme challenges, close-quarters conspiring and game-shaking powers as they avoid being nominated and subsequently evicted from the house.

Read on to find out everything we know so far about Big Brother season 26 (BB26).

Who won Big Brother 26?

Chelsie Baham

Chelsie spent the first month of the game setting up a perfect nested structure, only to have it all blown up in the course of two evictions. Chelsie recovered immensely, though, rallying to lead a house flip, convince her allies to make some huge moves on her behalf, and win a record-tying amount of HoHs. As she remarked in her final jury speech, she was a diamond that could be looked at from any angle. And the jury valued her diamond at the game at about $750,000.
