Why Big Brother 25’s Felicia Cannon Deserves To Win America’s Favorite Houseguest

Big Brother 25 houseguest Felicia Cannon has made it to at least the Final 4 of the game, and Felicia deserves to win America’s Favorite Houseguest. Felicia is a 63-year-old real estate agent originally from Tacoma, Washington, who’s now living in Kennesaw, Georgia. She made history as the oldest female player to ever play Big Brother. Although she’s only won one competition so far this season, she’s come to close to winning others and has given the younger houseguests a run for their money.

Throughout Big Brother 25, Felicia has been a strong competitor and an entertaining houseguest. She’s also been one of the driving forces behind some of the evictions of the most powerful players. Affectionately called Mama Fe by the other houseguests, Felicia has maintained her personal relationships with her fellow houseguests, even when their alliances crumbled, proving her strong social game. Here’s why she deserves the America’s Favorite Houseguest prize.

Felicia Beat The Odds

Felicia’s been nominated for eviction eight times during Big Brother 25. She was sometimes a pawn, but she was also the actual target a few times. However, she managed to flip the house in her favor and survive the week. Felicia has had to play a game of defense rather than offense, and she’s managed to make it all the way to the Final 4 with her strategy.

Felicia Deserves To Be Recognized For Her Gameplay

Felicia won one Head of Household (HOH) competition during week 3. She worked hard to blindside and backdoor her former Professors alliance member, Hisam Goueli, who was a competition beast. It was a bold move that changed the trajectory of the game by evicting Hisam, who’d won one HOH and two Power of Veto competitions in the first two weeks. Felicia felt that he had to go, not only because he was a physical threat, but because he was dominating every conversation within the alliance, and trying to get others to play his game.

By showing that she was unafraid to turn on an ally, Felicia proved that she was a strong contender. Felicia should be recognized with the America’s Favorite Houseguest prize for the unconventional game that she played. She has shown that there are other ways to play the game besides winning competitions. The odds are stacked against her winning the grand prize, but the America’s Favorite Houseguest prize would be a beautiful way to honor her.

Felicia Has Been Very Entertaining

Felicia should win America’s Favorite Houseguest not only because she’s played a strategic game, but also because she’s been very entertaining. She’s had some hilarious moments on the show, from dropping her microphones into the toilet bowl to stuffing her bathrobe pockets with food to filing her toenails on Cirie Fields’ bed. She also embraced her Big Brother punishments, including moving around the house in a kayak with Cirie for 48 hours and being in solitary confinement. She fulfilled them with gusto. Although it’s not a reason to win the whole game, being a player that makes Big Brother fun to watch definitely qualifies Felicia for the America’s Favorite Houseguest prize.

As Big Brother 25 heads towards its exciting finale, Felicia still has a chance to win the $750,000 grand prize, but, if that doesn’t happen, her strategic gameplay should be acknowledged. She also should be recognized for surviving spending eight harrowing weeks on the chopping block. Felicia’s Big Brother 25 game is a masterclass in how to play defensively, and will always be remembered. Felicia should take home the $50,000 America’s Favorite Houseguest prize.

Big Brother 25 airs Sundays at 10 p.m. EDT, Tuesdays at 8 p.m. EDT, and Thursdays at 9 p.m. EDT on CBS.
