George Allen Boswell (better known by his nickname Chicken George) was a houseguest on Big Brother 1 and later appeared on Big Brother 7. In both seasons, George placed fifth.

On Big Brother 1, George was known for his goofy antics and good nature which made him a likable figure amongst his fellow housemates and the viewing public. However, George later became surrounded in controversy when his wife and family members began campaigning for viewers to vote out some of the more popular houseguests to keep George in the game, which Brittany Petros became the victim of when she was evicted on Day 57. Since the other houseguests were unaware of the controversy, George appeared to be in a good position to go really far in the game, until a twist in the game had banished houseguest Brittany informing Josh Souza about the controversy surrounding George and his family. Josh didn't tell the other houseguests, including George, about the controversy until various "anti-George" banners were flown over the house, leading Josh to inform them about the news surrounding George. After hearing about the controversy surrounding him, George wanted to walk from the game, and attempted to convince the other houseguests to walk with him during the next live episode. However, when the next live show came around, nobody chose to walk from the game. Nonetheless, George was "marked for banishment" on Day 74 and was eventually banished on Day 79, landing him in 5th place.

In the early days of the game in Big Brother All Stars, George was often ridiculed and dismissed as a minor resident of the house. As time passed, however, he began gaining recognition as a potential threat due to his under-the-radar personality. However, he was nominated on Day 60 during the first live Fast Forward Eviction. He was evicted during the second half of the fast forward week by a 2-0 vote, placing 5th and becoming the fifth jury member. He voted for Mike Malin to win.
