On Day 1, four coaches entered into the game to coach the houseguests. Ian was placed on Mike "Boogie"'s team. On Day 48, Ian won his first HoH competition. After that initial victory, he went on to win the rest of his eligible HoH competitions. With his win on finale night, he tied the record of the most HoHs in a season: four. On September 19, 2012, Terry won Big Brother 14 and the $500,000 prize after defeating Dan Gheesling, who was the winner of Big Brother 10 and one of the four returning coaches, by a vote of 6–1. Terry is one of nine HouseGuests, including Drew Daniel, Janelle Pierzina, Rachel Reilly, Aaryn Gries, Hayden Moss, Caleb Reynolds, Vanessa Rousso, and Steve Moses in the show's history to win Head of Household four times in one season, and managed to avoid being nominated until Day 62, much to the collective chagrin of the house. Ian also holds the record for most consecutive HoH wins at 4. At 21 years and 6 months old at the time of his win, Terry became the youngest winner in American Big Brother history.

Terry re-entered the Big Brother house on August 5, 2020, to compete again in season 22, Big Brother: All-Stars. He was evicted on Day 44 by a 5–3 vote, finishing in 11th place, becoming the first Jury member. [2] He voted for Cody Calafiore to win.

On Episode 3 of Big Brother 22: All-Stars, Terry disclosed to a group of houseguests that he is on the autism spectrum. [6] During the live feeds of Big Brother 22: All-Stars on September 8, 2020, fellow houseguests, Memphis Garrett, Nicole Franzel, Dani Briones and Christmas Abbott were seen privately mocking Ian's quirks related to his autism diagnosis, specifically his rocking back and forth during conversations. This caused uproar from Big Brother fans on Twitter to admonish this behavior. Former Big Brother contestants also criticized the behavior of the other houseguests towards Terry on Twitter. [7]
