Taylor Brown, who finished second on "Big Brother 28," criticized Drew Campbell, the third-place contestant, calling him a "lapdog" to the "Icons" alliance during the finale. After being evicted by Rick Devens, Campbell's ally, Brown told Page Six that she believes the jury misunderstood her gameplay and strategy, which left her unable to form solid alliances throughout the season. She argued that the “Icons” had an unfair advantage due to their fan bases and prior reality TV fame.

Story summary
Taylor Brown, runner-up of Big Brother 28, criticized fellow contestant Drew Campbell after his eviction during the finale. According to Brown, who was aligned with a group called the "Icons" led by Rick Devens, Dee Valladares, and Angela Murray, Campbell had been following their lead throughout the entire season, acting like a "lapdog." During the finale on Thursday night, Devens evicted Campbell despite their alliance earlier in the game. Brown won $75,000 as second place and claimed she was not surprised by Campbell's eviction since he did what they expected him to do.
