It's been a long road to travel, but last night 'Big Brother 11' finally ended. And thankfully, Natalie did not win! Congratulations are in order for Jordan Lloyd. This year's winner of the $500,000 prize.Here's a recap of the finale show:
The top of the show was all about how the three remaining Houseguests psyched themselves out and lied to each other. Natalie asked Kevin if they were still sticking to their plan and he assured her that all systems are go. But, of course, he had no intention of taking her to the final two with him (yay Kevin!). Then Kevin asked Jordan if they were still sticking to their plan and Jordan told him to stop asking her because he's making her think that he's going to back out. Lastly, Jordan told Natalie that she is sticking to their plans for the final two - and she means it this time.
The show then went into the Jury House and showed Jeff wanting to see Kevin enter, Russell wanted anyone but Michele and Lydia predictably echoed Jessie's conviction that it will be Michele. So, when Michele walked in, Jessie cheers like a jerk, Jeff says "I'm so disappointed" and Russell told her that he had hoped she would win. Michele revealed details on the second Pandora's Box and how Natalie's boyfriend proposed to her. Jeff's response? "Was he a tool?" Without really answering, she continued on about how Natalie lied to everyone (again) about a double reversal.
It seemed that the Jury House had become pretty sour on Natalie at first, as they watched groaning at her antics, outfits and general attitude - going so far as to call her "Queen of the trailer park". But as we watched them debating on the final 3, it appeared that there wasn't a clear loser. While Natalie never won anything, Jeff was too stuck on his ire at Kevin and I thought that his desire for Jordan to win made others question how deserving she iwas to win. As Russell said, she was the nicest girl in the house but her only game move was attaching herself to Jeff. In the end, they all agreed to put it off until they are down to the final two.
At the final part of the HoH competition, Jordan and Kevin faced each other in a competition that was supposed to gage who knew the members of the Jury House best. It was neck and neck all the way through, forcing Julie to go to a tie breaking question. Which was when Jordan took the final win. Predictably, Jordan cast her vote to send Kevin to the Jury. She apologized to him profusely and it took him a moment to realize he's supposed to leave the house. Outside, Julie asked Kevin if he regretted evicting Michele and his head nearly exploded.
The Jury was brought out and when Kevin joined them, he collected hugs from everyone except Jessie. Even Jeff, though somewhat reluctantly, I'm sure. Lydia told Julie that there were two witches left in the house, which got a rounds of "OOoo!" from the audience. They wee allowed to ask Jordan and Natalie a series of questions, which amounted to the usual "Why do you deserve to win?", "What was your strategy?" followed by the predictable answers. The most interesting moment was when Lydia asked Natalie who she saw as her biggest threat in the jury house and what role she played in their eviction? Being a clearly personal question, Natalie answered just as Lydia would want to hear - that it was her. Michele also asked Natalie why it was so important for her to tell the Jury House about how she is "supposedly engaged". Natalie got a bit touchy and said there is no "supposedly" and that she wanted to share the good news with all her friends in the Jury House.
While casting their votes, the Jury House members were allowed to give a brief statement. Most were nondescript ("I voted strategically"), but Lydia gained the audience favor by coyly grinning "Jordan, I love a good blond". With Chima having been kicked off the show, America was the 7th juror and Julie locked in that vote. But before we got to find out what the count was, the four first evicted Houseguests were brought in.

During their segment, Ronnie brought up all Natalie's lies right away, shocking Kevin and Jordan with her real age, while Casey said the biggest mistake in the game was Jeff falling for Natalie and Kevin's lies about Russell.
Braeden was just impressed with how Jessie got all the girls in bed and no one wants to defend Chima. In fact, they were all still offended by her actions and it's consequences for her team. Ronnie admitted Michele was not the worst person ever, Jessie admitted that his relationship with Lydia was more than platonic, and Jeff agreed that Jordan is on the short list to go to Hawaii. The audience was less than pleased with him for not being more certain about her.
Finally we get to the votes! America cast 11 million votes for Jordan. Next we found out that Jessie voted for Jordan - which shocked everyone. Probably Natalie most of all. Next was Lydia - who also voted for Jordan, and that's it. Jeff would clearly have voted for Jordan, so we automatically knew she was this year's winner. We then heard Russell's vote - which went to Natalie, but then Jeff's vote came up and that's all she wrote. Michele also voted for Jordan and Kevin voted for Natalie.

With her winnings, Jordan mentioned she plans to put a down payment on a house for her family, help her cousins with college and maybe get a new car. Jeff was America's favorite Houseguest, which is not a shock at all. He won the $25,000 prize.
Congratulations to Jordan for winning an awesome season of Big Brother. Until next Summer for the 12th season of Big Brother.
