10 Most Popular Big Brother Contestants Ranked By Instagram

For CBS, Big Brother has been a long-lasting success, having aired for 22 seasons thus far (with no end in sight). While inside the house competing for the final cash prize, contestants are completely cut off from the outside world for ninety days. No television, no cell phones, and obviously, absolutely no social media.

Outside the house, though, many contestants are active on social media platforms like Instagram. Only one houseguest per season goes on to win the game. But when it comes to the social media game, some former housemates are the clear winners.

*Houseguests from Celebrity Big Brother, for obvious reasons, are excluded.*

10 Zach Rance – 332k Followers

Zach may have only placed ninth in his season, but his ‘are they or aren’t they?’ showmance with fellow houseguest Frankie Grande, along with his personality, won the hearts of fans. He was nominated for America’s Favorite Houseguest, clearly making an impression on fans.

In 2020, Rance came out as bisexual, crediting his relationship with Frankie and time in the Big Brother house for allowing him to discover this part of himself. Today, he works as a “Life, Health, and Spirituality Coach,” hosts a podcast, and runs a community mental health page called the Mental Health Connection.

9 Angela Rummans – 340k Followers

Angela came into the house during Season 20 of Big Brother, a former professional pole vaulter, and fitness model. She played her cards close to the chest, only slowly revealing her athletic and business experience once she started getting close to fellow houseguest Tyler Crispin. After playing a solid game, Angela came in fourth place in her season.

Since her season of Big Brother ended, Angela has continued to pursue several different business endeavors and has written and released two books, including a cookbook of plant-based recipes. In January of 2021, she and Tyler revealed their engagement.

8 Derrick Levasseur – 347k Followers

Commonly regarded as one of the greatest players Big Brother has ever had, Derrick’s huge following makes a lot of sense. Levasseur played an impeccable game in season 16, taking the win with a unanimous vote from the jury.

Derrick went on to write a book about how people can use techniques from undercover detectives to maneuver everyday social situations. He now and owns a consulting and private investigating firm, and is married with two daughters. His Instagram consists of half wholesome family photos, half video clips from his true-crime podcast.

7 Kaycee Clark – 408k Followers

A post shared by Kaycee Clark (@kcsince1987)

Former professional football player Kaycee Clark made history as the first openly LGBT woman to win Big Brother. Kaycee’s strategy of laying low and playing a good social game for the first half of the season paid off, as did her final two alliance with Tyler Crispen, when she went on to win the season (and the $500,000 prize) after a tight 4-5 vote from the jury.

Kaycee is now featured on the MTV show The Challenge, where she came in an impressive second place among the women on her debut season.

6 Tyler Crispen – 435k Followers

Tyler is originally known for his smart strategic play on season 20, where he made it to the final two along with Kaycee Clark, narrowly losing in the jury vote, and went on to win America’s Favorite Houseguest. In 2020, he went back into the house for the All-Stars season, where he again played a strategic game from day one, sadly only making it to sixth place this time.

Today, fans can (and do) keep up with Tyler on Instagram, or on the YouTube channel he shares with Angela Rummans, his now fiancΓ©.

5 Cody Calafiore – 453K Followers

Fans first met Cody when he came into the house on season 16, at the end of which Cody made the fatal mistake of choosing to bring Derrick Levasseur to the final two with him, resulting in a 7-2 jury vote in favor of Derrick. Luckily Cody got a chance to redeem himself, and in 2020, following an impeccably played season, Cody won the All-Stars season with a unanimous vote from the jury.

Cody’s Instagram followers get a glimpse into his life outside the house, as his feed often features photos of him and longtime girlfriend Cristie Laratta.

4 Jessica Nickson – 669k Followers

Though she came into the house during season 19 as Jessica Graf, she immediately had sparks fly with fellow houseguest Cody Nickson (spoiler alert: they got married after leaving the Big Brother house, and now have two children). Unfortunately, their showmance led to the pair being targeted for most of the season until both were eliminated.

After leaving the Big Brother house, Jessica, along with husband Cody Nickson, went on to win The Amazing Race. Fans keeping up with Jessica on Instagram will find her feed filled with adorable baby pictures.

3 Christmas Abbott – 700k Followers

A post shared by CHRISTMAS ABBOTT ✨ (@christmasabbott)

Christmas is perhaps most remembered for competing on season 19 of Big Brother – despite breaking her foot in week two (taking this former fitness model out of the game for all physical competitions), she managed to take third place. She returned for the All-Stars season in 2020, again falling short of a win, but definitely proving herself in the competitions.

After the show, Christmas has focused on continuing to build her fitness empire. She is currently in a relationship with Memphis Garrett, a fellow houseguest from season 22.

2 Nicole Franzel – 735k Followers

A post shared by π™½πš’πšŒπš˜πš•πšŽ π™΅πš›πšŠπš—πš£πšŽπš• 🐣 (@coconuts_)

Nicole spent more time in the Big Brother house than anyone on this list (all the more time for her to gain Instagram followers?), having competed in seasons 16, 19, and 22. A solid all-around player, she took the win in season 19, narrowly missing a second win on the All-Stars season to a last-minute blindside from Cody Calafiore.

In March of 2021 she and former houseguest Victor Arroyo, who are expecting their first child, tied the knot. Despite her long history with the show, Franzel currently seems to be attempting to distance herself from the franchise.

1 Frankie Grande – 2.1 Million Followers

A post shared by Frankie James Grande (@frankiejgrande)

Frankie made a big splash on season 16 when he waited several weeks to reveal to other houseguests that his sister was none other than rising pop star Ariana Grande. After leaving the house, he went on to compete in Big Brother UK, becoming the first US houseguest and finishing in sixth place.

Since then, Grande has gone on to have guest spots on several Nickelodeon shows, and is currently starring in a streaming revival of the musical Rock of Ages. Although Frankie didn’t win his season, when it comes to Instagram followers, he has every other former houseguest beat.
