Andy Herren is the winner of the 15th season of Big Brother, winning a cash prize worth $500 thousand. It was dubbed the most controversial result in the series' history.
Herren is a 26 year old professor from Chicago, Illinois. The resident gay guy of the season, he considers himself wacky and comedic. He admitted that he did not watch any of the feeds, but says he is obsessed with the television series. He auditioned because many told him that he would be good on the show.
According to Andy, his intelligence would take him farther in the game, though he thought that his housemates would underestimate him and label him as the “wacky gay guy.” He entered the show without any real strategy apart from hoping to have a good relationship with everyone right from the start.
Andy Herren also admitted that, though he wanted to make friends, his main objective was the money that he would take home if he won. Despite being deemed the “rat” by both the audience and fellow contestants, he still won the game with a final vote of 7-2.
