25 year old Bains holds the winner title
Big Brother 25 winner Jag Bains, a 25-year-old Washingtonian businessman who owns a truck company, created history. He defeated competitors Matt Klotz, a 27-year-old Louisiana Deaflympic swimmer, and Bowie Jane Ball, a 46-year-old Australian DJ and barrister, to win at the conclusion of a demanding 100-day season.
At the end of the show, Bains told host Julie Chen-Moonves, “That’s exactly what I wanted to do is, win this with integrity and loyalty the whole time”. Not only did Jag win the title, but he also set records for both competition and veto wins during the show. He is the first player to win the competition after being eliminated from the field.
Bains is the first Sikh-American to have competed in and won the title of Big Brother in the United States. He is currently Big Brother’s third consecutive winner to make history in the United States. As the first Black player to win the game in 2021, Xavier Prather was first. Taylor Hale, the first Black woman to win in 2022, came in after him.
He receives $750,000 prize money
In his dramatic farewell speech, he asked for your vote by stating, “My hands are covered in your blood”. While Klotz, the runner-up, only received $75,000 in prize money, Bains will receive $750,000.”
In this house, I am the most formidable, skillful, and cunning player. Bains said, “I have earned this victory; I don’t just deserve to win. In addition to being the first Sikh contestant on Big Brother, you all must choose wisely this evening in order for me to become the show’s first Sikh winner. I have earned it at every turn, and it is the right thing to do.

His journey throughout the game
In July, Jag wrote, “IT’S OFFICIAL!!!” The prospect of joining Big Brother 25 as a houseguest excites me greatly! The amount of excitement I am experiencing as I set out on this amazing journey in the Big Brother house this summer is beyond words! Being a part of the show now, after watching it as a young child with big eyes, feels like a complete dream come true! As the show’s first-ever Sikh, I am incredibly grateful, humbled, and honored.”
Jag collaborated closely with Matt and Bowie Jane for most of the game. After moving into the renowned house, he and Matt quickly became the best of friends. Early on in the game, Jag and Matt not only forged a “bromance,” but also the “Minutemen” alliance. Not only did they dominate the Big Brother game, but they also supported each other throughout. So much so that Matt overcame a unanimous vote to save Jag by using his hidden Power of Invincibility.
As the game came to a close, the two invited Bowie Jane to join them in the three-person group known as “The Mafia.”A 25-year-old businessman from Washington, Jag is the owner of a trucking company. Matt Klotz, the season’s runner-up.
