Rachel Wins Big Brother 13

Wednesday, September 14 2011: 
  
 

We're not done yet!

 
This is it, the day we've been waiting for, and the day three shut-ins in the Studio City, CA Big Brother House are very anxious for. The big show starts at 9:30PM ET, it's live, so check your local listings. The BB finale follows the premier of Survivor South Pacific, it's not the Oscar Hammerstein South Pacific (that's what they need, Survivor: The Musical).

It's day 75 in the BB House.  Adam has been promising us a surprise last minute strategy that will convince the winner of tonight's HoH competition to take him to the final two. I can't imagine what he has left to say, and we may never know, as he intends to wait until just before showtime to launch his last campaign.

The polls show the viewers are rooting for Rachel to win, and I think her chances are very good.  There's also the winner of America's Favorite player to be determined.  Fan favorites Jeff and Jordan lead the polls in that contest.

9:15AM BBT:  Can you believe it, they're still sleeping.

9:40AM BBT:
 The feeds are back with the HGs in the BY. Adam and Porsche chanting "Last Day! Last Day!" The music is really over, says Porsche. Sounds like they had an extended wake-up because Rachel looks like she's still asleep. They are surprised they are not on indoor LD yet. Rachel is sitting on a stool by the hot tub, Adam smoking another cigarette and Porsche goes into the bathroom area to wash her face.

9:50AM BBT: If you enjoy the sights and sounds of teeth brushing, check out Porsche on Feed 3. Rachel now at the BY couch with Adm. They talk about how excited Adam will be to see Farah tonight. Rachel says she has stuff to take care of, like her two speeding tickets. It's their last day of no responsibility, she says. Adam says the reality show ends and reality begins. Rachel says they have to to Brendon's school to explain why he disappeared all summer. Rachel explains that he got permission to take an extended vacation but they didn't know why and Brendon is afraid they will be angry.

Porsche joins them in the BY. Rachel wonders if their families are here already or coming in later. Adam thinks last night to make sure no travel problems. They are discuss what they need to bring up into the HoH when they go on LD. Porsche says they'll make coffee before the show. Adam and Rachel joke about being over caffeinated for Julie.

10:00AM BBT: WBRB Then we come back to talking about questions they have in the world today: Is Lindsey Lohan still alive? Do we have any fans? Are we still on TV? What were our ratings?

Porsche says that's why they brought Brendon back, for ratings. Talk about how Rachel was asked last season about sex in the BB house. WBRB again.

12:20PM BBT:  I didn't note the time feeds went off, but it's just been the "Who Will Win..." screen for a long time.

1:30PM BBT:  It's still not one big happy Big Brother family in the jury, as you'll see in this brief clip from tonight's show.

6:00PM BBT:  The jury's been painting, and you can win one of their masterpieces.  Click Here for details.

To watch the show live, here's a link to an East coast feed.

6:30PM BBT:  It's showtime!

The show starts out with a flashback of how the season started and the reveal of the Duo Twist, and how we got down to just three players. Now, 11 HGs have departed, and seven will decide who wins this season of Big Brother.

When we last saw the final three, they were standing on the beater of a giant mixer, over a bowl of batter.  Rachel's not sure she can trust Porsche, and feels that her only chance of winning BB, is to win HoH.  Adam is feeling pain, and drops. He drops into the slop at 28:50 as Rachel and Porsche say good job. From the DR, Rachel says, "This has been his life-long dream.  Now he wants to give up $500,000 because of a little pain."  Porsche is getting motion-sick, but Rachel is in the zone.  Porsche drops after 46 minutes, and Rachel has won the first part of the HoH contest.

In DR Rachel squeals: "Oh my gosh! Yeah, this is crazy! Cinderella story right here! If my Bookie Bear was here right now, we would be super celebrating, he would be so proud."

Adam: "I must step up my game now more than ever. If not now, when? If not me than who? Round II is mine!"

"I love swimming so I think I will be good at this." Porsche reads from the card: "Welcome to Part II of the three part HoH competition. Before you is an underwater maze, at the bottom, the faces of the previous HoHs. On go, hit your button and dive into the tank. Find face of the HoH and slide it through the maze to the correct slot. When all 11 HoHs are in their correct slots, climb out of the tank, hit your button and lock in your time. The HG who correctly completes the maze in the shortest amount of time will move on to compete in Part II against Rachel for the final HoH for the summer."

Adam is next, saying it is redemption day for him, "A second chance to win, part II is his, let's bring it." He hits the buzzer and dives in. A massive amount of water spills out of the tank as Adam dives down to begin working the maze. From the DR he says he knows the HoHs like the back of his hand."

His strategy is to get the bottom ones first and work his way up. His goggles are filling up with water and he can't see, so he takes them off and throws them out of the tank. He gets back under water and he can't see, "It's all fuzzy." He has to climb out of the tank and retrieve the goggles, wasting precious time. He hits his buzzer, completely out of breath.

The final three assemble in the BY and Rachel says, "Let's see who the winner of the second part of the HoH competition is. The winner will face me in Part III of the final HoH competition. Adam, let's see what your time is: 6:03. Porsche, your time was 3:50 and Porsche wins HoH Part II."

DR, Porsche says she won Part II and no matter what happens in Part III, as long as Rachel honors our final two deal we'll be sitting in the finals and I'll be sitting pretty. Rachel comes over and gives both a half hug. In DR, Adam says I had my chance and let it slip through my fingers, now my fate is in Porsche and Rachel's hands. I hope they realize it's good strategy to take me to the finals. Rachel and Porsche hug. In DR, Rachel says we're moving on the Part III of the HoH and I have a final two deal with Por. Hopefully if she wins she takes me, but hey, if I win, I have to do what's best for me, even if that means breaking our deal.

Adam thinks it would be a good idea for Rachel or Porsche to take him to final two.  Porsche and Rachel aren't worried.

Julie Chen: "So, Rachel and Porsche will face off in Part III of the HoH competition a little later. But who ultimately wins BB will be in the hands of the jury who recently gathered to discuss the F3. The question is, can they get past their differences and get to the task at hand?" Brendon leads the jury into the Jury House patio where six chairs are set around a coffee table. It's Jeff and Brendon sitting on one side, Daniele and Shelly on the other. "OK, guys," starts Shell, "Who do you think is coming next?"

Jeff says he hopes it's Kalia and Porsche. Shelly asks Brendon and he says Porsche. Daniele wants to see Rachel this evening. Brendon responds with mocks shock, "Shocker!" Shelly wants to see Adam or Rachel, "Adam kind of coasted and it's time for him to get out here." Kalia walks onto the patio and Shelly says wow. "Hey guys," she says. "I'm so sorry," says Daniele. "It's OK," says Kalia.

They ask for the update. Kalia tells them Rachel won the next HoH (Brendon fist pumps), "It was the hardest HoH ever there were like maple glazed donuts everywhere..." Jordan enters the patio and sees Kalia, "Oh No, screams Kalia! Did you miss me, guys?" "How did you leave and who voted you out?" Jeff demands. Kalia: "Porsche, because she won the Veto."

Shelly: "In the end, Porsche, Adam and Rachel. I would be interested to hear what you guys are going to judge other people on to win in this game." Jordan says she is very proud of Rachel, "She's played an awesome game, she's won half the competitions and I think she should win, I do." Daniele says Rachel did her song and dance every week about how she hates floaters but she's the biggest floater in the house. "Rachel floated to the HoH, whoever was the HoH and tried to be friends with them." Brendon: "If she didn't play like that, I would be upset with her because she would be sitting out here with us. Being a strong competitor, able to change up her strategy half way though the game, that's what it takes to be a good game player."  Daniele is stone faced but Kalia slightly nods her head in agreement. "Being as annoying as she was," says Jeff, telling Brendon no offense (he nods OK).

She made it through to the end. Daniele says, "The way she treated people was terrible, absolutely terrible." Brendon says "I've always said, 'she is as smooth as a rhinoceros in a china store.'" (even Daniele smiles). I totally have changed my opinion of Rachel, says Kalia, "At least on a strategic and game level, I think she's probably had the hardest road to run to the end and I do believe she deserves to be at the end."

Shelly: "I don't understand at any point where you viciously, maliciously tear people out personally and then send them out with half a million dollars. I struggle with that." Jordan: "You lied to everybody! And you said some pretty mean things about some people." Shelly: "I know, and you said a lot of mean things too about Rachel, you said things about Daniele, Kalia, you said things about Porsche." Daniele refuses to back down, saying, "I still think that Rachel's level was different and that it wasn't strategic. So you feel like you're rewarding someone for that behavior."

Jeff: "You guys had opportunities to get her out. Couldn't be that brutal because..." Shelly: "It is brutal because there's a lot of things she's done." Jeff: "I'm saying you could have done something about it if you guys felt really in your heart that disgusted about it."

Brendon has been quiet throughout all this but says, yeah. Daniele turns to Shelly and says they tried really hard. Kalia says she would really like to talk about the other two as well. Jeff: "As far as Porsche goes, I've talked to her seriously about eight minutes the whole time we were in the house but maybe you guys could argue reasons why she does deserve it and I would like to hear." Kalia says she thinks Porsche has played the game, "But when there isn't a need for you to jump out and do something, why would you jump out and put a bullseye on your back? You say, let me be quiet and shut my mouth, and chill until it's time for me to play this game."

Jordan jumps in, saying "Porsche has done nothing in this game, she just walked around in bikini and cooked..." Jeff says he didn't even know she was in the house until Day 52. Kalia says Porsche has played enough so that she's where she is and she's won when she needed to. Jeff says Kalia isn't giving him anything. Jeff: "Give me an example.." Kalia: "She just won Veto when she was on the block. She won Veto the week of the double eviction with you, and won the next HoH, she won when she had to."

Jordan asks if Kalia thinks Porsche played a better game than Adam? Daniele says that when it comes to competitions, Porsche still won more than Adam. Shelly: "Adam made no big moves in the game. He was offered several opportunities to make big moves and he coasted." Kalia nods her head.

Jordan: "Adam did play both sides to keep himself safe, but he showed his loyalty to me." Jeff adds staying loyal is a big part of winning this game to him. Shelly says Adam, when he gave his word, he was loyal to it, however, he wiffle waffled all the time. Jordan says Adam walked in the house from Day 1 and was playing the game. Porsche wasn't playing the game until Day 50.

Daniele: "I just think at the end of the day, he just, he would go to you [she points to Shelly and Kalia], he would go to you [she points to Jeff and Jordan], whoever, for what's my final decision, what am I going to do? And that's what he would do."

Jeff says he thinks Adam did what he wanted to do Daniele says "I 100% disagree," Jeff shrugs her off. "I believe that Adam has created a new place," Daniele continues, "and that is called a Piggy Backer." Adam never ever thought for himself. Porsche, at the end of the day, made her own decisions. "But Porsche didn't really do much of anything," says Shell, "the only time I ever heard her talk strategy was when you (Kalia) and Porsche played Daniele's game." (Dani's head snaps around)...

Kalia: "How we played Daniele's game? OK. You guys talked about Daniele all the time. Let's just clear it up." Shelly: "We don't need to clear it up." Kalia says I'm going to clear it up. Jeff raises his hand and says, "He needs to clear it up." Kalia: "By all means, I will say until the cows come fricking home, I did not play Dani's game, I played my own game." "Your cows came home." Jeff retorts. Kalia: "My cows came home but I didn't ride anybody's cape, OK!" "Let me talk," says Jeff. "Brutal attack is what I always wanted," says Kalia, "Surprise surprise. You're the one yelling louder than me," Jeff yelled loudly. "I played my own game, we played together, end of story, period." ends Kalia. "Well good point," says Jeff, "I guess the show's over then, Kalia." "OK, let's go," retorts Kalia. "OK," says Jeff. Shelly just smiles. Daniele takes a deep breath as if to say this isn't worth it. Brendon says with a big smile, "Meeting adjourned."

Julie Chen: "Welcome back to the season finale of BB. In just moments, Porsche and Rachel will battle it out live in the final round of the HoH competition. And then she will decide whom she wants to evict and in doing so, whom she will go up against for the half million dollar prize. Let's go to the living room and get things started. Hello, HGs." HGs: "Hey Julie...", say Porsche and Rachel. Porsche is seated to the left and Rachel to the right of a simple podium, separated by a divider. Both look lovely this evening.

"Well, for the final time this season, the power is up for grabs. Porsche, Rachel, as winners of the first two rounds of the HoH competition, you are the only ones eligible to compete. It's time to see how well you know the members of the jury."

We now see Adam is seated in the kitchen around the corner, able to hear but unable to see the competition. Rachel and Porsche each have a rotating A/B block in front of them. Julie Chen says, "I will read the beginnings of statements made by each of the six members of the BB jury. For each, I will give you the choice of two possible endings. You must decide how you think that juror completed that statement. (Porsche is smiling, Rachel is listening intently.) Your answer will be either A or B. For every correct answer, you will receive 1 point. The HG to receive the most points at the end of six questions will be crowned the final HoH. Are you ladies ready? Yes, they say. Then let's begin. "

Q1 - Brendon said the moment in the house I'm afraid of having my friends and family see is A) the moment I was evicted the second time, or B) Not doing better in endurance competitions. Both say B. Brendon reveals the answer was A. We get WBRBfor something someone (probably Rachel) said. Both got it wrong, neither gets a point.

Q2 - Daniele said the most shocking moment in the house was when A) When America voted Brendon back into the game, or B) I found out my dad would not be returning to the game. Answers please. Both choose A, then Rachel changes her mind and selects B. Daniele says the most shocking moment in the house was when I found out my dad would not be returning to the game. Rachel gets it right and takes a 1-0 lead.

Q3 - Shelly said her fatal error in the house was A) Turning against Jeff/Jordan or B) Voting to evict Jeff one week too soon. Both select A. Shelly says it was voting to evict Jeff one week too soon. Both get it wrong. No points. When we come back from commercial, the camera shows Adam's parents in the audience.  Adam's dad looks like Adam with better hair.

Q4 - Jeff said the best thing about being in the house was A) getting to spend the summer with Jordan, or B.) Getting rid of Daniele. Both say B. The audience laughs. Jeff says it was getting to spend the summer with Jordan. Which means both got it wrong.

Q5 - Kalia said the biggest lie told in the house this season was A) Adam was loyal to the newbies or B.) Anything that came out of Shell's mouth. Rachel quickly selects B. Porsche thinks then selects A. Kalia tells us the biggest lie told in the house was, dramatic pause, anything that came out of Shell's mouth. Rachel gets it right, takes a 2-0 lead and with only 1 question left, there is no reason to continue it, this makes Rachel the final HoH!

Rachel has won the final HoH!

Realization sets in and Rachel starts screaming and crying. Julie: "Congratulations, Rachel." Adam comes in to hug both girls. Rachel is crying, covering her face with her hands. She reveals her face to say, "Sorry, this is so surreal right now. I can't even believe this just happened."

Julie: "Rachel, it is now up to you to decide who you would like to evict and I will be back in a few moments for your decision. Thank you, says Rachel. Who will Rachel choose to face off against for the half million prize and who will walk out empty handed? Stay with us!"

Julie: "Welcome back to the season finale of Big Brother. Rachel just became the final HoH of the summer. Now she must choose to evict either Porsche or Adam, automatically ensuring the other HG a spot in the final two. Let's head to the living room for her decision. Hello, final three. Porsche, Adam, in just a few moments Rachel will cast her vote to evict, but before she does, you each have one last chance to plead your case. And Porsche, you're first."

Porsche: "Well, Rachel, we started this game as really good allies and we ended it that way as well, so I would really love for you to take me to the final two, you've been a great competitor, Um, honestly, you just totally killed me in that last HoH, so I wish you the best of luck."

Julie: "Thank you, Porsche. Adam?"

Adam: "To all the metal heads at Yankee Stadium, hope you're DVRing this, Big Four Metallica Slayer Mega Death Anthrax Rah! (he shoves his fists with fingers extended in a cow horn). Addressing Rachel he says: You told me week one you did not want to see a floater win this game. When Porsche needed a Golden Key she was with you guys. As soon as Brendon left, she was not with you. I was with you, I supported you, I pumped you up, I kept you going, as soon as the game neared an end, she came to you again, right back to you. Last year you said 'Floaters grab a life vest,' this year you say, 'Floaters grab a paycheck?' It's up to you. Sorry, had to do it. But congratulations, you kicked butt, You're a great competitor."

He sits down. Rachel: "Thank you.' Julie: "Woah. Adam!" Porsche: "Seriously?" Julie: "Thank you, thank you both. Rachel, you are now guaranteed at least second place and at least a $50,000 prize. But you have a huge decision to make. By deciding whom to evict, you are also deciding who will be sitting next to you when you face the jury later tonight. Rachel, this is a half a million dollar decision. Are you ready?" Rachel: "No." Julie: "Too bad."

Julie: "Please stand, Rachel, and cast your vote to evict."

Rachel: "It's been amazing competing with both of you, side by side, uh, this is so surreal for me. I have fought my heart out of this entire game. I was a target walking in that door and I had to win HoHs, PoVs, and my fiancé was evicted twice, I've had to play this game 100% by myself. I had allies, yes, but by the same token, I was one of the biggest targets in this game and I fought and feel like I earned my spot here. The last few weeks, I have fought side by side with one person and this person has helped me with the game and (Rachel is struggling to maintain her composure) I know you said to earn your spot here, Adam, and I've earned it (she is tearing up now) Adam, I am so sorry, I have to evict you."

Adam: "That's fine."
Rachel: "I made a deal with Porsche..."
Adam: "No problem." Adam gives her a hug.
Julie: "It's official, Adam, you are the last person to be evicted from the BB house."

Adam hugs Porsche, tells Rachel she had to do what she had to do. Rachel apologizes again, hopes that... Adam says it's all right, you kicked butt. final three, he says, we had so much fun. He gives them a big hug and then says, "Julie, I'm coming out to see you, then Farah, you're next. Just the way I came in, I'm coming out."

He pauses by the front door, turns to Rachel and Porsche and lets loose his trademark roar. Big applause as he enters the studio and gives another roar, working the crowd. He gives Julie Chen a big hug.

Inside the house, Porsche says if it holds any ground (she is fiddling with Rachel's mike), he has a bunch of other people all feeling the same. Rachel is silent and in private thought, doesn't respond. Porsche says that was rude, why do people do that? Rachel is still silent. Relax, says Porsche as we watch Adam's memory wall picture go into B&W.

Outside, Julie says to Adam, "That was quite a speech." Adam: "Thank you, he says, I'm sorry, thank you, thank you!"

Julie: "The fate of the final two rests in the hands of the jury.  Please welcome Brendon, Daniele, Jeff, Shelly, Kalia and Jordan."

Julie: "How surprised are you at Rachel's decision? Did she make the right decision by choosing to sit next to Porsche at the end? Because let's face it, you weren't the best at competitions."

Adam: "No, but I did step up, I did well."
Julie: "And Porsche stepped up at the end."
Adam: "Yes she did. I won OTEV and the final HoH before this, so I think I did pretty well. I think she made the right decision."
Julie: "She made the right decision by evicting you?:
Adam: "Of course. Because if I was in the final two, Adam says confidently, I would have won."

The audience and Julie Chen all laugh and applaud. "I played an honest game this year, I played with people, I used my sense of humor to get to know people, and in the jury the people who are there would definitely have voted for me." Julie: "Well, you are a member of the jury and you will help decide who wins BB." Adam: "Thank you Julie. Adam: "Thank you. Julie, it was great to meet you and I'm sorry you aren't handing me a check. And tell your girl Sharon that whenever Ozzie comes around, to please..." Julie: "I will hook you up. Thank you. Up next the jury questions the final two, casting their votes for the winner. The live interrogation is next. Stay with us!"

Julie: "The fate of the final two now rests in the hands of the jury. Please welcome Brendon, Daniele, Jeff, Shelly, Kalia, and Jordan." They take their seats, with six seats taken, one empty. Julie: Please help me welcome the seventh member of the jury." (the six turn to see who it is). Brendon is really excited to learn that Rachel is in the final two.

Adam walks back into the studio, hugs Shelly, shakes hands with Jeff, Jordan and Brendon, hugs Daniele and Kalia. Julie: "Adam, please, I know you are emotional right now but please take your seat. We have a live show and have to crown the winner." Adam sits down. "Just so everyone knows, Rachel just won the last HoH competition, (Brendon muffles a private double fist pump) and she chose to evict Adam. Now, in a few moments, I am going to ask you to lock in your votes on who you want to see win BB. But, before you do, you will have one last chance to question the final two. As a group, you have agreed on the questions for each finalist.

Julie: "Let's get that started. Rachel, Porsche, in just a few moments, the jury will be voting for the person they want to see win BB. But, before they do, they have some questions for the two of you ladies. Brendon, what is the first question from the jury?" Brendon: "I love you very much, but that's not my question. Rachel, some in the jury think you did and said a lot of hurtful things that had nothing to do with strategy. Why do you think you should be rewarded for this behavior?"

Next Jordan gets to question Porsche and asks what she did to be worthy of the prize. "I started playing this game week one. Even though I had a golden key, I still played, and made game moves."

Rachel: "I do apologize if I did or said anything that was hurtful, but I should be rewarded for this behavior based on game play. I have fought, I was a target from the second I walked through the doors, I have done nothing but fight in this house, I won four HoHs and two PoVs, the final HoH and I think that, you know, you have base this decision on game play and base this decision on someone who has competed this entire game, someone who has done nothing but fight to compete, fight to be here, has put their heart into on the line in every single competition and fought my heart out. I do apologize if I was ever hurtful to anyone, and I don't know what else say."

Julie: "That's OK, we're running out of time so I'm just going to cut you off anyway." Laughter. Rachel: "Thank you."

Jordan: "Porsche, some people in the jury think all you did in the house was wear bikinis and cook. What else did you do to deserve half a million dollars?"

Porsche: "OK, well, starting this game off, I was given the Golden Key the first week but that wasn't my decision necessarily. It was part of the twist in the game and it was what I had to do. I decided to play a social game, I was friendly with everyone, got along with everyone, played the game with each one of you who is sitting in the jury, or talked with you at some port and gotten to know you. So I did not just hang around in a bikini, I was here just as much as everyone else, and I competed In as many competitions as I was allowed to compete in."

Julie: "Thank you Porsche, Kalia, you're up."

Kalia: "Hi, Rachel. Hey! Aside from winning competitions, what did you do to deserve to win this game?"
Rachel: "I had one of the biggest targets in this game. I was nominated four times and I was on the block five times. So I was the person nominated the most (Jordan puts her hand on Jeff's knee and Jeff smiles), the person who won the most competitions, when Brendon left the game, I had to completely change my game play. And I played in as many competitions as Porsche even with her Golden Key and I won more competitions. When Brendon left, I had to play a social game, had to branch out, I always always listened to everyone, Kalia, one of the biggest moves I think I made was evicting you because I think you would have won this game if you were, you know, if you were in the final two you would have won the game."

Kalia nods either in agreement or satisfaction. Julie says, "Thank you Rachel. Shelly, you're question from the jury?"

Shelly: "Ladies, you look beautiful, congratulations (they say thank you). Porsche, when did you start playing the game and tell a little about some of your big game moves?"

Porsche: "I started playing the game week one. Once she learned there was the Golden Key, Keith was definitly standing in her way when she was on the block. I tried to work with him as much as she possibly could and then he started trying to mess up my game with half of the house. So unfortunately at that time I had make a game move and that I was willing to accept a Golden Key and sit out some competitions even though I was up in the HoH room crying about it because I did not want to sit out of anything. I came here to compete and that's what I have done the entire summer, and I've made bigger game moves since Fast Forward, and you know, I'm very happy I got to make all these game moves that I have but sometimes you just, you're taken what your given in BB and at first, yes, I was given a Golden Key."

Julie: "Thank you Porsche. Ladies, in just a few moments you'll each have a chance to make a final statement to the jury. When we return, a speech that could be worth half a million dollars. Stay with us."

"Welcome back to the season finale of Big Brother. The jury is just moments away from casting their votes to determine who will win the half million dollar prize. But before they do, let's check back in with Rachel and Porsche. Hello again, ladies. Before the jury casts their votes, you each will have the chance to tell them why you deserve to win. And Rachel, you're up first."

Rachel; "Thank you for all you guys, this season has been amazing." Rachel can see the jury on the living room TV screen. "Walking through that front door, she says, I've been one of the biggest targets in the game, on the block, nominated four times, on the block five times. I had to either win HoH or PoV or be on the block so I have competed my heart out, my full heart, this entire game. One of the bigger games moves this season was exposing Daniele's plan to back-door Jeff. That changed the entire game as everyone knows. Another big move I made was when I had to evict Kalia. If Kalia had made final two, she would have won This game. She was standing in my way. I made strategic decisions this entire game. I have fought my heart out. When Brendon left the game, I had reformulate my game entirely (Brendon is nodding), I had to play more of a social game and be more of a social competitor but still keep winning competitions to save myself and Jordan to keep us in this game. I have competed in the same amount of competitions as Porsche, even with her Golden Key and won four HoHs, two PoVs and other competitions. I have had talks With each of you guys, and I have really listened to what you guys have said this entire game, and listened and considered options, stayed true to my alliance and stayed true to what I thought would be strategic game moves to further myself in the game."

Julie: "Thank you, Rachel." Rachel: "Sorry." The audience laughs. Julie: "We want to leave some time for Porsche. Porsche, you're up."

Porsche: "Adam, I know I have already discussed a lot with you but to the other six of you already in jury, You are the people who voted for me in week one to stay in this game and I showed you what I can do. I am in the final two and competed as hard as I could, I tried to respect everybody, played a social game, respected everybody, was second in four competitions and won four competitions, you know, I won PoVs, I won an HoH, I am definitely here to compete and I want to show everyone (Brendon is smiling but I doubt it's at Porsche) that you can do it, that you can respect people in this game and hopefully pays off. You guys were my first six votes, and Adam, you know I love you too, even with your speech, but you guys saw something in me to compete in this game and I hope you see something good in me also to compete in life with this money and do something good with it. And that's what I want to do so thank you so much."

Julie: "Thank you Porsche, and thank you both. All right, Jurors, it is time to vote for the winner of BB. One at a time, you will step up to the voting box and Insert the key of the person you want to see win the game. Brendon, you are up first."

Brendon: "This is going to be a very hard decision. Rachel, because of you, I've had to spend about five weeks in the jury house and have not got to play this game too much, but Julie asked me one thing when I was evicted, she asked why I left you in the game, why I thought you could go further and I think you def shown that you did go further. Baby, I'm proud of you and no matter what happens, I love you with all my heart." The women in the audience go awe. The men just suck it in.

Daniel is next. "Porsche, I adore you and am very proud of you. Rachel, you are very lucky this is not a personality contest." Shocked laughter. "Rachel just lets it brush off."

Jeff" "I don't have anything cute to say. This is a funny game, this BB and thank you up there (he points I think to a sign in the darkened audience). Congratulations to you both for getting here. Was that secretive enough?" Julie says, "Yes. Shelly, it's your turn."

Shelly: "I'm proud of you guys, you did a great job, it's a game, I love the heart that you have, even spilling your heart out here, I love you guys a lot too, just not as much as Brendon loves you, Rachel." Nervous laughter from Rachel and Porsche. "Good luck to you both." Shelly is shaking as she tries to fit her key into the slot. "Thank you Shelly," Julie says. Kalia, it's your turn to vote." She sings and sashays her way to the voting box.

Kalia: "Um, gosh, I don't have a lot to say other than Pajama Pajama!" Porsche has a big smile on her face, Rachel resigned to not having expecting that vote. Julie: "Jordan, you're up."

Jordan: "Hey Rachel, I have missed you (Rachel blows her a kiss) and congratulations to you both (thanks, Jordan). You both did good."

Adam is the final vote: "Rachel, your best move was getting rid of me, I would have won this game. I got four answers right in that final HoH and if I didn't throw my goggles And I didn't I would have won this game, half a million would be mine (he turns to face Farah in the audience). Sorry, Baby, next time I come back to play All-Star's, I'm winning this game!" Laughter from the audience, the jury and Julie as he raises his arms in non-victory. "Thank you Adam, and with that, the voting is complete. Up next, Keith, Cassi, Dominic, Lawon and Evel Dick. The HG who saw it all join us to give the others a piece of their mind. Stay with us."

julie: "Welcome back to the season finale of Big Brother. They left the Big Brother house early, but they got to watch the entire summer unfold. Please say hello to Lawon, Dominic, Cassi, Keith and Evel Dick! Welcome back everyone, know you had a fun summer watching everything unfold from home, and you have a lot to say, so let's get started. And I'm going to start with you, Dick."

Dick: "All right, Julie, I'm ready." Julie: "You only got to play this game for six days before you had to leave unexpectedly. But in that short amount of time, you formed the veterans alliance and it appeared to be a strong alliance. What do you have to say about that group now?" Dick: "Woulda, shoulda, coulda been the best alliance that has ever played the game (Daniele shaking her head no), if they had stuck together, but my lovely daughter blew it up with an atomic bomb and and there it went." Julie:"You think Daniele single handedly destroyed the vet alliance that you worked so hard to form?" Dick: "Absolutely, there's no question what so ever." Julie: "Would you agree with that, Daniele?" Daniele: "Absolutely. The biggest problem people have in this game is making big alliances on Day 1 or Day 2. When we came into the house, we were kind of forced into this situation. But then two weeks later, I was like, I don't want to work with these people. There's all my friends over there, I wanted to work with the people I cared about, who I had formed relationships with. I did what I had to do, it got me sitting here, but I had really great friendships I made in this game and I know I made big moves, so..."

Julie: "One of the things you felt you had to do was get rid of Jeff. Dick, was that a smart or dumb move?" Dick: "You want me to say it was a dumb move right in front of my daughter? Talk behind her back, not in front of her. No, uh, it was kind of and I hate to say this, but it was kind of typical in playing too hard to fast, if she had waited and eventually the newbies were going to win an HoH and that's when you get into their ear, a secret alliance with Kalia or Porsche and let them do the dirty work, when we first started, I said we weren't going to run four weeks straight, we were probably going to lose one or more persons along the way. They're going to win HoH and one of us was going to get lost along the way side and I said to Daniele, just don't let it be one of us."

Julie: "Cassi, I know a lot surprised you from home, what surprised you the most?" Cassi: "How darn cute Adam is under that beard." Julie: "Careful, his GF is here." (Adam points to her) Cassi: "Probably the most shocking is Shelly, the through me for a loop." Julie: "What do you mean she through you for a loop?" Cassi: "You know, I honestly thought Shelly was just so happy to be there, hanging out, playing with former HG, she really had me fooled, but in her defense where she lacked competitively, she definitly made up in he social game and I hate that I was the first sacrifice to the vets but kudos to her game, she really did play a great game." Julie: "Shelly, what do you have to say in your defense? Cassi said you had her fooled." Shelly: "Well, I didn't have Cassi fooled in how much I adored her (I believe that, Cassi says). To this minute, to this day, we will be friends when we walk out this door, I can't wait to give her a hug. I knew I couldn't win competitions coming in, I had to play both sides of the house. I knew I was a social butterfly so my way of playing was to social here, social there, get on both sides and manipulate the best I could. Is it a little dishonest? Yeah, but it's a game and when you come to BB, you've got to play. So I played but I never hurt Cassi, I adored her." It is a game, agrees Cassi, you have to play for yourself and obviously everybody's there to win, so..

Julie: "Let me just have Jeff weigh in a little here. Because Jeff, when you and Shelly were in the house, things were tense in the end. Did the two of you make up in the jury house?" Jeff: "I think so, you have to put some of that aside, and I was, huh..." Shelly: "Upset, says Shelly, very upset." Jeff: "Yeah, I mean the last time we spoke was not on good terms but in the (jury) house we kind of put that aside and she did what she had to do Obviously I wasn't happy with it on a personal or a game level, but I think we put that aside. It is a game, you've got to move on from it, and terrific." Julie: "Good. we like to hear that. Kalia, you said at one point part of your strategy was to bite your tongue. (Uh Huh, she says) Well, you're not playing the game anymore (Shelly and Daniele laugh as Kalia breaths deep), and I'm kind of hoping you're not going to bite your tongue right now because I want to know now that you are No longer playing the game, what is on your mind? What do you have to say to anyone in this room right now?" Kalia: "OMG, I bit my tongue a lot." Adam: "When did you bite your tongue?" Kalia: "I'm a big, I have a really big bark and I open my mouth way too much. There are a lot of people that I wanted to say a lot of things to, and probably the biggest thing, and I've already addressed it, I met Daniele when I came in that house, I came in to play, I have watched all 12 seasons Of BB, I knew exactly what kind of game I wanted to play and I played it. I'm nobody's slave, no one is my master, and I went in there and did my thing. As much as anyone things I played her game, I'm not going to leave my whole life behind to play with some girl. OK, says Julie Chen simply. But, Kalia says to Daniele, I love you."

Julie: "Jeff, I want to go back to you. You and Shelly have made up but how about you and Daniele? It looked really intense between the two of you in the jury house. Is it really that bad? What's the status of this relationship? Jeff:"We gave each other back our friendship bracelets and, uh, Daniele's a strong person and I'm a strong person, you know, and we both have our feelings. Not everybody likes each other in this room and that's understandable. You move on from that. I don't dislike Daniele, I just, I guess I do dislike her, I don't like her (the audience laughs as Daniele sports the frozen expression reserved usually for her father). But it's no big deal, I don't mind if she don't like me, we both go our separate ways and there's a lot of room."

Julie: "How about I sprinkle a little good news because I think you'll all be happy to hear that there's still one prize that is up for grabs tonight. And that is for America's Favorite HG. Viewers have been voting all week long for who their favorite HG was, and that person will receive $25k to take home, and I will announce who America chose a little later on."

"But up next, it is the moment of truth, Rachel or Porsche, who will leave the BB house with the $500k grand prize? Stay with us!"

"Welcome back to the Season Finale of Big Brother. After a summer long power struggle, it is finally time to crown the winner. Rachel, Porsche, I am about to reveal the jury's votes. The winner will receive $500k and the runner up, $50k. I will pull the keys from the box revealing who each juror chose to win BB. You need at least 4 votes to win. Rachel sits silently in the left chair, Porsche waits nervously in the right. Here we go:

Brendon has cast his vote for Rachel.

Daniele has cast her vote for Porsche to win BB.

Jeff's vote goes to Rachel.

Shelly has cast her vote for Rachel to be the winner of BB. Rachel's hands go to her face as she realizes that with Jordan's vote yet to come, Shelly may have put her over the top.

We have three votes for Rachel, one vote for Porsche. Kalia's vote goes for Porsche. Rachel is now crying behind her hands as Porsche reaches over to comfort her.

"Jordan's vote goes to... Congratulations, Rachel, you are the winner of Big Brother!" She jumps up jiggling all over as Porsche gives her a congratulatory hug.

Julie: "Ladies, come on out!" Porsche heads to the front door to get her purse as Rachel wipes tears from her eyes and throws her flaming red hair back. Screaming in ecstasy, Rachel exits through the front door to the studio audience and is greeted first by a burst of confetti and then by a bear hug from her man. We may never know what was said during that lengthy embrace. Julie did not try to intervene, walking away.

The jury and the other HG reunite in the middle and Brenchel turns to join in on the throng. Dick hugs Kalia first and Keith embraces Shelly. Cassi goes straight to Jeff and Rachel begins thanking all the jury members who voted for her. Even Big Game Shelly and Big Jeff hug it out. Rachel says something to Brendon that starts out with OMG and ends with WBRB and returns with a hand over her mouth.

Julie: "When we return, who did you choose to be America's Favorite HG? Stay with us!" A whole lot a huggin' goin' on.

"Welcome back, again, a huge congratulations to you. Just for the record, Adam voted for Porsche." "Woah," says a surprised audience as Rachel looks over at him as if to say, WTF? Julie: "That means you won by one vote." Julie gives Porsche Adam's key and says but don't worry, you still get $50k. "And there is still another prize at stake, $25k for America's favorite HG, and that prize goes to...Jeff!" Jeff says yeah! "Congratulations, Jeff, where are you?" He walks over to her. Jeff high-fives Brendon and gives Julie a hug.

"All right, join me tomorrow afternoon on The Talk when Rachel goes head to head in a competition with one of our hosts. Thank you to all of our HG for an incredible season, from outside the BB house, I'm Julie Chen. We'll see you next summer. Goodnight, everybody! Rachel and Brendon hug again as the other HG reunite, congratulate Jeff and celebrate the end of BB. That's a wrap!
