The fans are dying to know what America's Favorite Houseguest winner Tiffany Mitchell has been up to since she left the set of Big Brother 23. All season long, the viewers fell in love with Tiffany by watching her in the BB23 live feeds and in the episodes. Some had worried how a 40-year-old phlebotomist mother would do when living in a house mostly filled with young people, but Tiffany didn't just play the game - she set the tone for it.
It was Tiffany's strategic and Big Brother-obsessed mind that put together what became known as the Cookout's master plan. In it, each Cookout member picked a "pawn" duo that they could sit next to on the block. Week after week, the Cookout worked to get each of those duos sitting on the block, except that they always only voted out the non-Cookout players. This guaranteed that all six members of the Cookout made it to Final 6 together.
After being declared America's Favorite Houseguest, Tiffany got to meet with some of her co-stars during an informal BB23 after-party hosted by Todrick Hall, as seen in the many screenshots included below. Every person in that room was clearly very happy about Tiff winning AFH/AFP, including Derek Xiao, who also received a lot of votes. Speaking of which, Tiffany said in her Us Weekly interview that she'd love to play BB again with Derek X. Tiff did confess that she wants to go see her family now, but she isn't turning down future appearances. "I love TV. I love film. I do love cameras. So if this takes off and I get to do something for the world to view me, I'm here for it," Tiffany revealed.
Meanwhile, Julie Chen took it upon herself to celebrate Tiffany winning America's Favorite Houseguest via her personal Instagram. Julie even called Tiffany a "Queen" in the caption of the post (included below). It is unclear when Tiffany's flight back home was scheduled for, but she did have some time in Los Angeles to celebrate her journey on the show. For instance, she got to meet up with her Cookout allies one last time while they're all still in the same city. Posing for the picture alongside Tiffany were Xavier Prather, Hannah Chaddha, Azah Awasum, Derek Frazier, and Kyland Young.
Last but certainly not least, Tiffany got to talk about her game and her America's Favorite Player victory with Big Brother winners Derrick Levasseur and Cody Calafiore. In her interview for Derrick and Cody's The Winner's Circle podcast, Tiffany cleared the record when it came to Derek F.'s claim that he put the Cookout together. She then went on to be interviewed by RHAP, where co-hosts Rob Cesternino and Taran Armstrong asked her about Kyland's comment that Hannah and Derek F. were "interchangeable" players. In response, Tiffany fiercely rejected Kyland's comparison: "What he should've admitted, [which] is what we all know is true: you couldn't control [Hannah], like you couldn't control me." Tiff's full interviews with The Winner's Circle and RHAP can be watched below.
One thing is certain: Tiffany was the rightful AFP winner on Big Brother 23. As expected, she is already living up to that title. Whether as a TV personality, reality TV star, or accomplished phlebotomist, the future is looking very bright for Tiff.
