The Cookout
The Cookout was an alliance formed between the six Black players in the Big Brother 23 house. Though the group formed initially with the intention of looking out for each other in the game, at one point it coalesced into ideally making the final six together. And the group ultimately succeeded at doing that on Day 65.
Usually, only one or two Black houseguests are in a season, and they are usually picked off early and don’t make it to jury. Aside from that, for years, previous Black players have been at the receiving end of microaggressions and outright racism in the house — until now. Season 23, was also the first in the show’s 20-year history that a white male player did not make it to the jury that decides the winner of the show.

There are not a lot of Black people at this school, so we need to need to look out for each other to make sure that we all succeed. We will call ourselves, "The Cookout."
