Big Brother Crowns Its First-Ever Sikh Winner, Makes History for Third Year in a Row

Jag Bains became the first Sikh-American to win the reality television show with his 5-2 victory over the show's first-ever deaf contestant, Matt Klotz

For the third straight year, the winner of Big Brother is entering the show’s history books.



Jag Bains, a 25-year-old truck company owner from Washington, was crowned the winner of the record-setting 100-day season over fellow alliance member Matt Klotz, a 27-year-old Deaflympics swimmer from Louisiana, and Bowie Jane Ball, a 46-year-old Australian DJ and barrister.

Bains was the first Sikh-American to enter the Big Brother house in the U.S. and is now the first Sikh-American houseguest to win the U.S. version of the international series.



After his 5-2 victory over Klotz, Bains said he was "on top of the world," adding, "This has been the greatest experience of my life."



"To be able to win this with integrity and loyalty the whole time is exactly what I wanted to do," Bains told host Julie Chen-Moonves at the end of the episode.

Bains is now the third straight winner to make history on the U.S. version of Big Brother. Xavier Prather was first, becoming the first Black individual to win the game in 2021. He was followed by Taylor Hale, who became the first Black woman to win in 2022.

The 2023 winner also entered the show’s history books this season by setting the record for the most Power of Veto competition wins in a single season, with seven.

Bains nearly left the competition in Week 4, but was saved by Klotz, who won the Power of Invincibility that same week. During the Jury Roundtable, 34-year-old stay-at–home father Cameron Hardin applauded Bains’ resilience.



“The fact that he left, came back in and he’s got an opportunity to win this entire game on the back of all of the people who voted him out,” Hardin told his fellow jurors. “That makes him look like an incredible competitor.”
