Big Brother Season 26 winner Chelsie Baham played an excellent game this season, strategically making power moves in the house that earned her a historic victory.
Chelsie was the first woman in Big Brother history to play a Perfect Game and the first person of color to win four Head of Household (HOH) titles in a season. While on the red carpet at the 2024 Reality Television Awards on Monday night, this season’s Big Brother contestant spoke with The Mirror reporter Angelica Cheyenne about taking Season 26 by storm. The TV star admitted she didn’t realize she was playing such a Perfect Game while competing.
“It's surreal, I didn’t know I played a perfect game until I got out of the [Big Brother] house,” Chelsie said.

I was like ‘What!’ it feels amazing I love the show and to be deemed as a great player is just an honor,” she added. For those wanting to follow in Chelsie’s Big Brother’s footsteps, she revealed that an individual could win the competition if they employed these tactics.

“Be yourself, be a great storyteller, and have fun and be smart, don’t go in there and be crazy off-the-bat,” Chelsie listed. “Be a smart player and enjoy your time,” she added, sharing that being on Big Brother “is a dream [and] so live it big.”
Chelsie’s win was made possible partially because of the strong alliances she made in the Big Brother house. One fellow Season 26 contestant that she got close to on the show was Cam Sullivan Brown. The two developed such a close friendship that viewers watching at home questioned if they were dating after the show was over. Within the last month romance rumors between Chelsie and Cam have been sparking up online
Although Chelsie didn’t confirm or deny if she and Cam were now dating, she did admit that he was “actually with her” at the ARTAS, seemingly implying he was her date for the night.
“Cam is actually with me tonight, he’s somewhere in the building,” Chelsie noted. We’re great friends, we’re enjoying life and we’ll see where it takes us.” She went on to confirm that they’re “best friends.” Only time will tell if their relationship evolves into an actual romantic one.
Big Brother Season 26 wrapped last month.
