Andy Herren Crowned Winner of CBS's BIG BROTHER

Andy Herren wins CBS's BIG BROTHER. The show's finale aired last night, Wednesday, September 18, on the CBS Television Network. The 26-year-old professor hails from Chicago, Ill.

The latest edition of BIG BROTHER featured two new twists: for the first time on the series, three Houseguests were nominated for eviction, and America played an important role in the game by voting for the weekly "Big Brother MVP."

BIG BROTHER follows a group of people living together in a house outfitted with 65 cameras and 98 microphones recording their every move 24 hours a day. Each week, the Houseguests will vote someone out of the house. At the end, the last remaining House Guest will receive the grand prize of $500,000.

BIG BROTHER is executive produced by Emmy Award-winning producer Allison Grodner and Rich Meehan for Fly on the Wall Entertainment, in association with Endemol U.S.A.
