Big Brother 24 Finale Preview, Odds and Predictions
Season 24 of Big Brother USA has been very solid, with blindsides, surprising twists and solid strategy. It’s now down to the final three houseguests, with Monte Taylor, Taylor Hale and Matthew ‘Turner’ the final three. All of them are fantastic players and are worthy of winning the $750,000 prize.
The runner-up makes $75k, and don’t forget, America’s Favorite Houseguest makes a cool $50k. In the early going of the season, we were all over Monte as the best value to win the game at +900. Now, he’s at +125, with him seemingly having an easy path to the final two with Taylor and Turner most likely taking him, should he not win the final Head of Household competition.
Lets’ take a look at the Big Brother 24 odds to be crowned champion, and offer you our pick for Sunday’s finale.
Big Brother 24 – Odds to Win Season
All odds as of September 23rd.
It’s a very close three-horse race to be crowned champion, with Brittany being voted off Thursday, who was very much a longshot to take the title.
The Big Brother 24 finale two-hour event will air Sunday, September 25th on CBS at 8:00 pm EST.
Monte Is Slight Favorite
It’s not very surprising that Monte is the favorite to win the game, as he’s played a pretty flawless social game and hasn’t upset the jury all that much. Realistically he probably makes the final two in every scenario, whether by winning the three-part final HOH competition, or Turner or Taylor will bring him to the end.
Should Taylor win, she’d become the first black woman in a non-celebrity version of Big Brother USA to win the contest. After initially appearing to be on the outs early in the season, she persevered to stay in the house, despite being on the block six times. Her story is a great one, and she’d be a very difficult player to defeat in the final two.
Turner has been in the corner of several players and there will be some that resent him for voting them out (see, Alyssa), but ultimately the jury seems to be fair and understand they’re playing a game. There’s no clear-cut obvious winner among three worthy potential champions. However, the favorite Monte was our pick early in the season, and he’s in the best position to be crowned champion.
Pick: Monte Taylor (+125)
Who Will Win America’s Favorite Houseguest?
Not only could Taylor Hale win the entire season, but she seems like she’d be a lock to win America’s Favorite Houseguest, and the $50k prize that goes along with it. She endured a slew of hatred from Paloma, Daniel and other houseguests in the first few weeks of the contest.
She became a sympathetic character, especially as the other women found ways to denigrate her. She was a firm fave in the early going, and not much has changed. Social media has had her back in going to bat for her.
Big Brother 24 – Odds to Win America’s Favorite Houseguest
It’s five challengers and that’s it, with Terrance Higgins sporting the sixth ‘shortest’ odds at +10000, which isn’t going to happen.
Kyle Capener, who found himself embroiled in controversy after he intimated that there could be another ‘Cookout 2.0 alliance’ (following an all-BIPOC final six alliance last season), is surprisingly tied with Turner at +1400 to win AFH. Some fans have sympathized with him, claiming that wasn’t his intention to divide the house by race. He’s also got half a million TikTok followers who could throw votes his way in droves.
The real challenger to Taylor’s throne is Michael, who was incredible at challenges, winning three HOH’s and six Power of Veto competitions (a Big Brother record). It’ll probably come down to the both of them, but he’ll probably lose public support for the way he handled the Kyle situation, which lost a lot of respect of fans of the show.
