Three players are left in 'Big Brother' and $750,000 is on the table. Can Rick Devens win the Oct 1 finale?

Rick Devens, a two-time "Survivor" contestant, won Big Brother season 28 in the Oct. 1 finale, taking home the $750,000 grand prize after the season's jury voted 6-1 in his favor over runner-up Taylor Brown. Devens reached the final three alongside Brown and Drew Campbell, won the final Head of Household competition, and evicted Campbell to set up the finale vote. He was also named America's Favorite Houseguest in the fan vote, adding another $50,000, and with a $10,000 "Pharaoh's Curse" prize finished the season with roughly $810,000 in total winnings.
Devens became the first "Survivor" alum to win "Big Brother" and only the second houseguest to sweep both the season title and the fan-favorite award. His win capped a season built around returning competitors with prior reality-TV experience, a casting strategy CBS has leaned on in recent cycles to boost strategic gameplay.
Only 36% of Predict Six forecasters picked Devens to win, so the community underestimated him relative to the jury, which rewarded his competition record and social game over Brown's.
