About Taylor Brown
Most houseguests show up with vague plans. Taylor Brown arrived with a named one: the "Big B Blowout," a three-part team approach built around floaters and two tethered teams working together. The 27-year-old elementary school counselor from Deerfield Beach, Florida is playing for Big Brother 28's $750,000 prize on the "Time Trip" season, hosted by Julie Chen Moonves, which premiered on CBS July 9, 2026.
Brown is one of two South Florida cast members this season, alongside Delray Beach pickleball coach Rome Seymour. She's also an HBCU alumna — she earned her bachelor's degree from Florida A&M University in 2021 before continuing at the University of Georgia, and per HBCU-focused coverage from ClutchPoints, she is the third HBCU graduate to appear on Big Brother since 2021.
She calls her social game her biggest strength, saying younger houseguests find her naturally likable while older players connect with her self-described "old soul."
Her day job might be the real edge. School counselors read emotions, mediate conflict, and earn trust quickly — the exact skills that decide who gets confided in inside the Big Brother house. Two days into the season, Brown's mix of emotional intelligence, a defined strategy, and cross-generational appeal has her near the top of early cast coverage.
