CBS' Big Brother Season 24 is coming to an end, with just one final episode left before one house guest walks away with a massive cash prize and a seven-day cruise for two.
On Friday night, September 23, the famed reality TV competition series aired a bonus episode, which took the finalists - Matt Turner, Monte Taylor, Taylor Hale - as well as the viewers on a walk down memory lane, looking back at some key moments throughout the season.
While some past snippets left fans in splits, others made them emotional. However, one particular moment drew mixed reactions. This was the segment where the series celebrated Indy's first anniversary as a US citizen.
While some fans found it emotional and were proud of what she had attained, some were also upset with her and claimed that she didn't deserve the airtime after she was rude to Taylor.
Read on to learn more about why fans reacted the way they did in Big Brother Season 24's special episode.
Indy celebrated her anniversary as a US citizen in Big Brother Season 24
The bonus episode included a throwback to Day 13 in the Big Brother house, where Indy was shocked to see the houseguests celebrating her one-year anniversary as a US citizen. During her confessional, she shared:
"Having the houseguests celebrating this big day for me it's amazing. I think that sometimes people don't really know how hard it is out here and all these years of hard work so being able to share my story with them makes me feel like so happy."
Indy told her Big Brother housemates that she moved to the US nine years ago. Opening up, she said that she was born into a really poor family and revealed that she started working when she was just 14, since she didn't have any other choice.
Indy also shared that she always dreamt of moving to California. She then added that she still hoped to take her parents away from their old place and show them around.
Indy's story made Joseph emotional. He broke down and told the former houseguest that she was his dad's favorite player and that she won over him. During his confessional, Joseph shared:
"I love being a part of the celebration with Indy. Because being the child of an immigrant, I know the hardships that she's gone through. And I'm so glad I get this chance to share it with her."
Although the house guests were moved by Indy's story, fans didn't feel the same.
Fans have mixed reactions about Indy's anniversary celebrations
Taking to Twitter, many fans claimed that her story was "heartwrenching,", adding that they were proud of her and all that she had achieved. However, some fans claimed that her sob story didn't give her the right to be rude to Taylor throughout the season.
