After 62 days and 21 new and returning housemates, the 2022 Big Brother Grand Finale takes place tonight at 7:30pm on Channel Seven and 7plus.
The final three contestants in the Big Brother: Royalty Vs New Contenders finale include Big Brother royalty Reggie Bird, and newbie contestants Taras Hrubyj-Piper and Johnson Ashak.
Hosted by Sonia Kruger, in a live Grand Final television event, Australia will vote to determine who deserves to win the $250,000 prize.
Last night on Big Brother, the final four celebrated with their loved ones in the house.
Then Brenton, Johnson, Reggie and Taras faced one last monumental hurdle before getting to the Grand Final: a six-stage obstacle course. The power to chose the final evictee from Big Brother’s game would rest on the winner, giving the remaining housemates a one-in-three chance of taking home $250,000.
After a neck-and-neck battle, Taras overtook Brenton at the ball maze, claiming victory just one second ahead of the competition. The task then fell on Taras to decide who the final three would be.

“Choosing two means I leave one out. And leaving one out means that I’m breaking someone’s dream. I’m saying to someone that your battle is at an end right at the final hurdle. That’s a big decision,” Taras said.
In the end, Taras saved Johnson and Reggie, evicting Brenton.
“It sucks. I got so freaking close to the end,” said Brenton. “I just can’t believe that if I’d won that challenge today, which I was millisecond off, I would be standing in the top three. I cannot believe it came down to that.”
This season saw the return of eight returning housemates including Anthony Drew, Dave Graham, Estelle Land, Tully Smith and Tim Dormer as well as a group of newbie contestants.
