Xavier Eugene Prather (born May 12, 1994)[2] is an American lawyer and reality television personality. He is the winner of the 23rd season of the American reality television series Big Brother, becoming the first African American to win a regular season in the show's 21-year history.[3] In 2022, he appeared as a contestant on The Challenge: USA where he was eliminated in episode 4.

Outside reality television, Prather is a lawyer, model, and a former college basketball player.

Personal life and career

Prather was born on May 12, 1994, in Kalamazoo, Michigan. He graduated from Gull Lake High School in 2012, where he stood out as a member of the school's varsity basketball team.[4] He attended Spring Arbor University from 2012 to 2017, earning his Bachelor of Arts in criminal justice. While there, he played for the Spring Arbor Cougars men's basketball team.[5] He went on to attend the Valparaiso University School of Law in 2017, before transferring to Marquette University Law School in 2018 and subsequently earning his Juris Doctor in 2020.

After graduation, he worked as an attorney for one of the top 200 largest law firms in the United States until he founded his own law practice, LawyerLike, in April 2024. Outside of his legal career, Prather is a model signed to Option 1 Models, a modeling agency with offices located in Chicago, Illinois and Los Angeles, California.

On May 27, 2023, Prather became engaged to Kenzie Hansen.

Big Brother

Season 23

CBS announced Prather as a HouseGuest for Big Brother 23 on July 1, 2021.[6] During his time in the house, he became a member of the six-person alliance named "The Cookout". The alliance, consisting of only African Americans, was created to ensure the crowning of the first black winner of a regular season of Big Brother.[7] During the September 9 double-eviction episode, the last non-Cookout HouseGuest was evicted, leaving the final six composed solely of members of The Cookout.[8]

On September 29, 2021, Prather won the final Head of Household competition of the season, evicting HouseGuest Azah Awasum and earning a spot in the final two. He was crowned the winner of the season by a unanimous vote, defeating Derek Frazier and earning the $750,000 prize.[9] He is the third player in the history of the show to win by a unanimous vote in a regular season, following Dan Gheesling and Cody Calafiore.

Reindeer Games

In 2023, CBS announced that Prather would be returning to Big Brother to compete in the holiday spin-off season, Big Brother Reindeer Games.[10] He made it to the finale and tied for 3rd place alongside Frankie Grande.

The Challenge: USA

On June 8, 2022, CBS announced Prather as a contestant on The Challenge: USA.[11] He competed alongside former Big Brother HouseGuests from his season and past seasons. Attempts for the former HouseGuests to work together ultimately failed and during the July 27 episode, Prather and his partner Shan Smith were thrown into elimination against Justine Nbdia and fellow Big Brother alum David Alexander. Prather and Smith lost the elimination and were eliminated from the competition.[12][13]
