Last night’s highly anticipated finale of Big Brother 11 was definitely one to remember – and was definitely one that America enjoyed.
Year after year, the winner ends up being someone America (and most of the houseguests) despise but this year was definitely an exception.
Since day one America fell in love with Jordan Lloyd, 23, and rewarded her honesty and loyalty by giving her America’s vote last night.
But the millions of viewers weren’t the only ones who fell in love with Jordan, her housemate Jeff Schroeder also did. The two had a solid pack to become the final two and take home the $500,000 first place prize and the $50,000 second place prize.
Needless to say, that did not happen. Jeff was the 5th last houseguest to be evicted from the Big Brother house, eliminating his chances of winning any money. But alas, America pulled through once again and gave Jeff the title of America’s Player and a cash prize of $25,000. Not bad!
Jordan says she’ll spend her winnings on a down payment for a house for her mom and brother (she and her mom are currently sleeping in the same bedroom because they can’t afford a big enough house), college tuition for her cousins and maybe buy herself a new car.
So it appears that everything worked out extremely well during last night’s finale – oh except that money-whore Natalie won second place – but we can deal with that if it means Jordan won.
We’re pretty sure we don’t even need to ask the question but we’ll ask it anyways: Are you happy Jordan won Big Brother 11 – or do you think someone else was more deserving?
Check out the Julie Chen's interview with Jordan and Jeff today where Jeff criticizes Jordan for snubbing him after she was announced as winner.
