Season 1: Eddie McGee, the inaugural winner of “Big Brother,” made history as the first amputee to participate in the game. In his video audition, the 21-year-old McGee introduced himself as Eddie from New York, a basketball player in Texas who lost his leg to cancer. McGee expressed his willingness to share more about himself if anyone wanted to know.
In a 2017 interview with Amplitude, McGee revealed that he had never watched his season and described it as “boring” and “terrible.” Since his victory, McGee ventured into acting and appeared on shows like “The Equalizer,” “Elementary,” and “9-1-1,” where he portrayed Jennifer Love Hewitt’s therapist.
Season 2: Will Kirby, a cunning strategist, captivated audiences and ultimately emerged as the winner of “Big Brother.” Kirby revolutionized the game by forming a memorable alliance known as “Chilltown” with Mike “Boogie” Malin. His gameplay was so impactful that he returned for the show’s seventh season, which was titled “Big Brother: All Stars.”
Aside from his achievements on “Big Brother,” Kirby showcased his talents in various endeavors. He conquered “The Price Is Right,” hosted a short-lived dating series called “Love Shack,” and appeared on two seasons of “Dr. 90210.” In 2022, Kirby shared with Entertainment Weekly that he also worked as a health and beauty reporter for Life & Style magazine. Kirby even made a cameo appearance as Karales the Bounty Hunter in “The Book of Boba Fett,” a popular “Star Wars” series.

During the pandemic, she initiated a photo series called “The Quarantine Project,” where she photographed families and individuals from behind a window.
Season 4: Jun Song triumphed over adversity when she competed against her ex on the season she emerged victorious. Song, the first Asian winner in “Big Brother” history, recognized the typecast she was associated with as a superficial New York banker. Understanding her circumstances, Song purposefully played up this character for television and to avoid becoming a target.
Following her journey on “Big Brother,” Song moved to Belgium and ventured into the restaurant industry. She owned a Korean restaurant called Rice House from 2014 to 2017. Currently, Song utilizes her expertise to assist tech companies with their content marketing strategies and takes pride in being a single mother raising her son.

However, his most memorable moment came when he controversially evicted his showmance, Diane Henry, toward the end of the season. This strategic move allowed him to secure a spot in the final two and ultimately claim victory.
After his triumph on “Big Brother,” Daniel pursued an acting career. Unfortunately, details about his personal life, including an alleged domestic dispute in 2012, remain scarce.
Season 6: Maggie Ausburn, an ER nurse from Las Vegas, emerged as the leader of “The Friendship” alliance during her time on “Big Brother.” This season introduced fan favorites Kaysar Ridha and Janelle Pierzina, who went on to participate in the game in subsequent seasons.
Ausburn has maintained a low profile since her victory on “Big Brother.” Details about her life after the show are limited.
Season 7: Mike “Boogie” Malin made a triumphant return to “Big Brother” and clinched the title on “Big Brother: All-Stars.” The season featured selected houseguests from the first six seasons, leading to the reunion of Malin and his ally, Dr. Will Kirby, and the reformation of their iconic Chilltown alliance.
Malin made multiple appearances on the show, including a brief return in season 14. However, his personal life took a dark turn when he was arrested for threatening Kirby in 2019. He was subsequently found guilty of felony stalking, sentenced to two years probation, and ordered to pay restitution to Kirby. In September 2022, his probation was reportedly revoked after failing to appear in court. Malin also filed for chapter 7 bankruptcy in the same month. In addition, he faced legal troubles in 2020 when he was arrested for a DUI.
Currently, Malin offers personalized video messages to fans on the platform Cameo, with prices starting at $25.

Their strategic gameplay led Reilly to the final two alongside Porsche Briggs, ultimately securing her victory with a 4-3 jury vote.
Following her success on “Big Brother,” Reilly continued her winning streak on reality TV. She won $50,000 on “Celebrity Fear Factor” for charity and another $100,000 on a show called “Snake in the Grass.” Reilly married Villegas in 2012, and they have two children together. She has transitioned into a casting producer role and appeared on Peacock’s “The Traitors” in 2023.
Season 14: Ian Terry showcased his deceptive skills on “Big Brother” season 14 and emerged as the winner. Terry, an engineering student at Tulane University, participated in the season’s “Coaches Twist,” where former players returned to mentor new houseguests before entering the game themselves. Terry famously betrayed his former coach and idol, Mike “Boogie” Malin, by aligning with “The Quack Pack” alongside Dan Gheesling and Brittany Haynes. His impressive gameplay led him to the final two with Gheesling, resulting in a 6-1 jury vote in Terry’s favor.
Following his victory, Terry graduated college and pursued a career in physics. He transitioned to management consulting in 2019 and, in 2020, returned to “Big Brother” for the second All-Stars season, where he was eliminated in week six.
Season 15: Andy Herren emerged as the winner of a controversial season of “Big Brother.” The season garnered attention due to the racist behavior exhibited by some contestants.

He won the game with a convincing 7-2 jury vote against GinaMarie Zimmerman.
During his time on “Big Brother,” Herren worked as a professor. In 2022, he shared with Entertainment Weekly that he briefly returned to teaching after his victory before deciding to pursue other ventures.
