Who won America's Favorite Houseguest on 'Big Brother 25'?
In the end, Cameron won America's Favorite Houseguest on Big Brother. And when Julie announced his name as the winner with the most fan votes, he looked absolutely shocked. For some of the season, Cameron had been seen as something of a villain and he likely knew that. So to hear his name after a season of blindsides and backdoor moves, he was visibly shook.
This means that on top of whatever Cameron earned from lasting long in the Big Brother house and making it to the jury house, he walked away with a $50,000 check. It's not a bad consolation prize or what may be considered an honorary third place prize on Big Brother.

One 'Big Brother 25' contestant will return for 'Reindeer Games.'
At the end of the Big Brother 25 finale, Julie revealed that December 2023 will feature a new Big Brother season with just six episodes and nine players. She shared that former Big Brother players, including someone from Season 25, will join the cast in the Big Brother house for the special season.
While it's unlikely that it will be one of the final three from Season 25, it could be someone like Cameron, whose game play was pretty impressive all season. Or, the returning player for Reindeer Games could be someone who was evicted prior to jury. Whatever the case may be, Big Brother 25 definitely kept the surprises coming, including the America's Favorite Houseguest winner.
