Jagateshwar "Jag" Bains (born February 14, 1998) is an American reality television personality. He is the winner of the 25th season of the American reality television series Big Brother, becoming the first Sikh-Punjabi to win the series.[1] He is the first Big Brother winner to also win The Amazing Race.
CBS announced Bains as a Big Brother 25 houseguest on July 31, 2023.[2] Initially, Bains struggled to gain traction in the game and was actually evicted in Week 4 by a unanimous vote. However, his closest ally, Matt Klotz, used the Power of Invincibility to save him and give him a second chance in the game.[3]
Bains was awarded the $750,000 grand prize by the season's jury, winning by a vote of 5–2 over Matt Klotz, and he became the first Sikh-Punjabi player to win Big Brother.[4] He was also the first houseguest to win after previously being evicted from the house.
Bains appeared on a special episode of Big Brother 26 alongside fellow winners Cody Calafiore (from seasons 16 and 22) and Taylor Hale (from season 24) to look back on the first three weeks of the season and reveal the next twist.[5] He made also a guest appearance on Big Brother: Unlocked in a segment called "Get Jaggy with It".[6]
