Taylor became the first Black woman to win Big Brother, as well as the first winner to also win the prize of America's Favorite Houseguest.

How is Big Brother handling the coronavirus crisis?
The world is on the mend with regards to handling the coronavirus. However, if needed, the show can continue its health and safety measures put into place for season 22. That protocol includes quarantining the cast for two weeks prior to move-in, weekly COVID tests, the lack of a live audience on eviction nights (though this was changed at the end of season 24), and staff and crew members cycling in two weeks at a time.
