The first time this TV Show has ever have 6 African Americans lead the show naming their team The Cookout. It would seem they had worked this game show in their favor and in seeing that is what made this an history making show.
The Cookout alliance has made history on Big Brother 23 by having an all-Black Final 6 consisting of Azah Awasum, Derek Frazier, Hannah Chaddha, Kyland Young, Tiffany Mitchell, and Xavier Prather. For many years, fans clamored for Big Brother casting changes in order to better reflect the society that Americans live in. There was also a consensus that people of color on the show were largely excluded from joining strong alliances and were then targeted for being a minority within the game.
The six Black contestants in the BB23 cast understood the importance of representing themselves not only within the context of this franchise but also for the reality TV genre as a whole. The Black community is still widely underrepresented on reality TV in the US, with long-running shows like The Bachelor taking 25 seasons to cast a Black lead. Last year, Da'Vonne Rogers became the first-ever Black winner of America's Favorite Houseguest on Big Brother. Now, a Black player will officially win BB23.
On Thursday, September 9, the Cookout alliance made history by finally reaching its plan to have a Final 6 consisted entirely of Black contestants. History was made during this first Double Eviction on BB23, which started with Tiffany as HOH evicting Claire Rehfuss in order to stay loyal to the Cookout. Then, Hannah won the next HOH and successfully sent Alyssa Lopez to the jury house. This meant that Azah, Derek F., Hannah, Kyland, Tiffany, and Xavier all got to Final 6. Live feed fans had known that this was the Cookout's mastermind plan all along, but some viewers wondered if they'd be able to pull it off as the competition added new obstacles.
Good Luck to whoever wins
