‘Big Brother’ Fans Debate Who Will Be Voted America’s Favorite Player
Big Brother Season 27 is coming to a close, and that means it is almost time to not only crown a winner, but America’s Favorite Player as well. Fans have debated who they think will get it this season, and there are four strong contenders.
The winner of Big Brother will take home $750,000. Second place wins $75,000. America’s Favorite Houseguest is awarded $50,000. These prizes changed in Season 23 in 2021 after being the same for its entire run, which were $500,000 for the winner, $50,000 for second place, and $25,000 for AFP.
America’s Favorite Houseguest prize began in Season 7: All Stars, which was awarded to Janelle Pierzina. It was first called America’s Choice Jury Prize, which was given to a member of the Jury, but later expanded to include all houseguests. The prize isn’t necessarily for who played the best game, but for who was the houseguest that made fans laugh or seemed like a friend to everyone.
Reddit fans debated who will take home the prize this year. “America’s favorite houseguest,” they began. “This is the first season I’ve felt so strongly that so many people shouldn’t win America’s favorite houseguest. It should be an absolute landslide victory for either Keanu [Soto] or Rachel [Reilly]. They’re the only two people who haven’t been whining, boring, or just unwatchable. These 2 are such amazing characters for the season, and everyone else has been a dud or worse.”
Most of the votes were for Rachel Reilly or Keanu Soto, but others said Ava Pearl and Clifton “Will” Williams are strong contenders as well.
“Top 2 will be Keanu & Rachel, almost confirmed. For the third, I’m guessing Will or Ava,” one said.
“I think Ava to make the top three since she’s the comic relief. But yeah, only either Rachel or Keanu will win,” another said.
“I’ll kind of be surprised if it’s not Will. His edits are complimentary and funny. I also think Ava has a dedicated demographic. Rachel and Keanu both make sense in their own way, but in general, those popularity/congeniality prizes on any reality competition show seem to favor players who aren’t considered potential game winners,” a third added.
“Keanu, Rachel, and Will are the top 3. Keanu for his comp beast edit without showing his terrible gameplay; Rachel for the name recognition; Will for being the comic relief and having the best DRs. I’m almost certain the next two episodes will portray Rachel as a villain and Keanu as a hero, so I’d put my money on Keanu for now,” another said.
“I’d vote Will. Rachel will likely win because of the Rachel Reilly brand and familiarity. Beyond that…not a lot of top candidates for America’s fave to be honest,” a fan wrote.
“Keanu 1st with Rachel and Will top 3 seems almost locked in at this point,” a Reddit user said.
“It sucks, but a returning player on an otherwise all-newbie cast seems locked for AFP,” a fan wrote.
“It’s really only between Rachel, Will, and Keanu at this point. Keanu has gotten a good edit, but Will has an awesome edit too and has more longevity in the game. Rachel is Rachel,” a fan commented.
“Hello?!?! Ava is right there,” another said.
“If it isn’t Rachel, I’d be shocked. It’ll be her, and then Keanu & Ava almost certainly,” one last fan said.
Who do you want to win America’s Favorite Player — one of the four mentioned above, or someone else? Let us know in the comments and tune in to the finale on Sunday, September 28, to find out who wins.

CBS edits make Ava out to be a silly fun loving klutz. Those who watch the live feeds know just how fake and attention hungry the REAL Ava is! Very doubtful true Big Brother fans will vote for her to be AFP. She's way too much of a phony.

Keanu is mine and my husband's favorite. He wins comps and keeps his cool. He is a really nice guy.

Rachel shouldn't even be playing, she should have been voted out 1st. She is a bully!!! I hope Keanu takes it all!!!!

Keanu!

I'm confused why anyone would think Will has a chance of being the final 3. He doesn't do anything and he hasn't win anything. Being under there radar doesn't mean your playing the game.

Same with Rachel but she'll win it because the teens love her and they create many accounts and vote numerous times. Plus this season has been all about her even by production favoring her. She is a flop at comps. Even back on season 10 and 11.

I choose Keanu! He's real with all his game play. Rachel is a big bully. If she doesnt get her way or the other players dont listen to her, she bullys them. If this is who she is in real life shame on her!!!

Has to be Ava, she has a funny side to her and she just kinda pops in and out. Her facial expressions crack me up. What's Grandpa Will done besides throw a comp 🤔 he is slow as molasses and his racist remark in the beginning uncalled for. He deserves nothing. Keanu for the win, if he can get his act together get away from Vince.

It should be Keanu, but it will probably be Will - the ultimate floater!

AGREE ! Will hasn’t won anything and is around because no one thinks of him as a threat. My choice is Keanu because he was targeted the first week and has had to fight all the way. I really liked Rachael before but she is my least favorite now. She is a bully and unfortunately most are afraid to go against her except Keanu. I also dislike Ashley who is also cocky like Rachael and Mickie are. Will is a coward and can’t be trusted but I did like him at one time but when he went against his Allies I didn’t like that at all!!

How do we see percentage of the votes, anyone? Please explain
-
R
why Will he was a floater who did nothing Rachel already won the real winner should have been Keanu and he is the only one who should get Favorite player can't stand Vinny the 4th woman in the house now all he does is cry and brush his hair
-
O
Obviously you haven’t been watching the live feeds and seeing where she has not only called Rachel the B word over and over, but also called her the C word! The girl is nasty and mean. Also trying to show cleavage thinking thats how AFP will win. She is a hateful mean person.
-
R
Everyone is saying Keanu for sure thing. Sometimes when it looks like a sure thing it turns out completely different and the shock sets in. I say Kneau as well, but who knows. You still have Vince and ppl do like him as well. He is playing a great game with everyone. Rachel will take BB Favorite houseguest. I don't know why as I would vote for Ava.
-
C
It looks like I’m in a minority, but my vote is for Vince.
-
G
Ava

I’d like to know how to vote!! I can’t figure it out anywhere!!

Go to CBS website.

Keanu 100%
-
G
I'm hoping Keanu wins. He has had his back against the wall from the beginning and has fought the hardest to stay in the house. #TeamKeanu all the way!!
-
R
I'm not too thrilled with BB this season although interesting I think a player who already won competing with the newbie's isn't fair to them. I don't think Rachel should win anything and take it away from the newbie's. Keanu, Ava, Will.

G
Keanu
-
O
Keanu.....hands down....we think he should get all the votes....We think Rachel should have been gone ...with whining.

O
Rachel Riley.

G
Until Keanu just got on his knees for Vinny the Lip this week, I woulda thought he had a chance. Now he’s the biggest loser in the house. Ava is the only real option.

It will definitely be Rachel because of her fan base and all of the pre-teens and teens love her. For what reaso I haven't a clue . They obviously haven't watched the past two seasons she was on driving everyone crazy with her baby talk and her whining to Brendon all of the time. Plus on Amazing Race it is just as much as big brother on her seasons. On Amazing Race I almost could stand getting through some episodes because of her whiny ass voice to Branden on that as well. God i feel sorry for that man. And to know they've been together 13yrs!!! I guarantee you he is on something for his anxiety and depression over her.
Anyways, my vote for AFP is going to Adrian because he wanted to help his mother so much and was taken out just because (no reason) thanks to Lauren putting him up as a damn pawn. That girl is weird as hell. It takes her forever just to get something out let alone just a regular conversation. Her game talk she would talk real slow and have no clue because she was scared all of the time of hurting someone's feelings. Honey,you're on big brother, that's what players do!!

Keanu

I want Will to win something.

Wow Ashley really needs to go. She is a floater. That speech and clap nope. Everyone needs to have a seat on the block . No one else acted like that. Real mature.

Rachel is the only one that makes you laugh, cry, get mad or uses her brain.

P
Rachel ultimate mean girl brand

R
Will should win

I'm voting for Keanu, but if he doesn't win it, I hope Rachel does. The others are boring and just fillers.
