Story summary

In Big Brother 28, Drew Campbell was evicted in third place after the final Head of Household (HOH) competition, where he lost to Rick Devens. After his eviction, Campbell learned from the six other jurors that if he had been pitted against Taylor Brown, who ultimately won the grand prize of $750,000, he might have emerged victorious. This revelation was particularly heartbreaking for Campbell, as he felt it indicated how close he came to winning the entire competition. He attributed his downfall to not securing the final HOH position, which would likely have taken him to the finale two against Brown. Devens ultimately took Brown to the finals and won with six out of seven jury votes, including Campbell's.
