'Big Brother 11' names a winner

First of all, for tonight's finale of Big Brother 11, host Julie Chen appears to be wearing a blue satin Snuggie with a bubble hem. And that starts off this entry of disjoined thoughts about this season-ender.

I can barely stand to listen Natalie speak anymore. How delusional can she be? Nice that she totally didn't address the fact that she's not 18 when it was brought up in jury questioning, glossing right over that while championing how awesome and forthright her gameplay was. Ick.

I love that Jordan won the final Head of Household competition since Natalie and Kevin had written her off as an easy target.

Best part of the jury interaction was that Jeff was really, truly funny. Was he that funny during the season?

Ronnie's [Square Root of] All Evil shirt cracks me up. I'm a geek; it's cool. Also love that he was trying to shock Jordan with the news that Natalie was actually 24 and not 18, but what do you hear? Kevin yelling, "WHAT???"

But the biggest news of all: Jordan is the winner. Who would have predicted that oh, even two weeks ago?

Not surprisingly, Jeff was the winner of the $25K "America's Favorite Houseguest" prize. "It wasn't even close," Julie said.

What do you think of the results? The crowd seems thrilled!

Love that Jeff won America's favorite. Not only gorgeous but also a stand up guy with a good grip on respect and reality when it got crazy in the house. Jordan may not have been that bright but she was such a likable girl and a good role model for young girls. Not trashy or willing to sacrifice her morals for anything. I am pleased with the end result, even if I was really rooting for Jeff to be the big winner.

Who dresses Julie???? That was the worst maternity dress I have ever seen, most of what they dress her in this season was awful. Now about Jordan, way to go girl. She may have rode Jeff's coat tails but she came out on top. He should definately pursue a relationship with her. I don't think he could find anyone as beautiful inside as she is outside.

I'm thrilled that Jordan won!! I had no doubt that Jeff would win America's vote... he certainly had mine! And, yes, he was very funny all through the show. I'm surprised you didn't notice his great sense of humor. The show was so boring after he left.


I love it that Jesse voted for Jordan!! I am sorry that Kevin couldn't have taken 2nd place. I didn't want Nasty Gnat to win a penny! But, it was a smart game plan for Jordan to take her. I love that Jordan would have won even without America's vote!

Gnat is in for a rude awakening when she starts reading the blogs! Time for a big wake up call!

I had to mention one of the funniest Jeff lines of the show...

Jeff was asking Michele about her work as a neuroscientist and the conversation was a charming as you could get! Michele was telling Jeff that she works 7 days a week and that she works on things like “the sugar component of [a] protein.” Jeff was completely honest regarding his total ignorance and replied, “I was impressed when I made a Lego castle — with instructions!” He was so genuine and self deprecating that you had to love him. He had some wonderful lines like that all through the season. Pretty funny, no?

I am so happy that Jordon won. I wish Kevin could have taken 2nd place. Gnat did nothing to deserve the 50K. But, Jordon was not a shoe in against Kevin, as she was with Gnat. It was a great game play decision on her part. I really hope that there are sparks with Jeff and that their romance was real. I think we will be seeing more of Jeff in Hollywood.

My wife and I were thrilled with the results. I would have almost paid $50,000 if Jordan had stood up during Natalie's speech saying why she should win and stuffed a sock in her mouth! Hearing her voice is like nails on a chalkboard.

I am so happy that a genuinely nice person who really needs the money won the game...Kudos to Jordan....

It pains me deeply to see Gnatalie win even 2nd place. She should PAY BB $50k for her crappy behavior. She got only 2 votes-Kevin because Jordan evicted him, and Russell because Jeff backdoored him.

I'd like to get Gnatalie's BF's address and send him a sympathy card.

Thoughts on the BB finale:

*Julie's outfit made her look like she was graduating from something. (or singing in a church choir.)

*Michelle on Natalie: "She's a dirty little trixter." LOL... that's one way of looking at it. Other ways may not have been airable on live TV.

*Lydia on Nat: "She can be Queen of the Trailer Park." I believe she would know.

*I wonder if Michele has ever walked in heels before. She looked like she was going to topple over.

*Braden was impressed by Jesse. Not coincidentally, so was Jesse.

*I was predicting a 3-3 split with America voting for Jordan. Was very surprised that Jesse went for Jordan rather than his lapdog Natalie. I bet she is really ticked.

*I'm thrilled that Jordan won. I know she's a little dim but she pulls it off, much in the same way as when a little kitten runs into things, chased its tail or falls off of things and you just go, "Awwwwww.." By just being herself, she kind of Forrest Gumped her way to 500 Gs.

Now bring on Survivor!

I kenw Joedan was going to win. I wished she had taken Kevin with her instead of Natalie. I am glad Jeff won the 25K. He was one of the best. Sweet, handsome and honest.

Jeff was pretty funny during the season. When he asked Jordan what animal she would be and she answers 'a squirrel' because they live in neighborhoods or a dog. His reaction was hilarious. "So you could be any animal in the world, and you'd be a squirrel?"

The Jeff imitation of Russell during one of their arguments had me laughing so hard. He was one of the highlights this year, and the interaction with him in the Jury House was good.

Congratulations to Jordan, I am happy she won!!

I couldn't be happier that Jordan won. I wish Kevin was sitting next to her since Jeff had been evicted. (Really liked Jeff) Kevin was a good player, he did a few underhanded things, but it wasn't for anything other than advancing in the game. Gnat was deceitful, selfish and very immature for a 24 year old.

I have been a fan of Big Brother from the start. THis is the first time that a truly deserving contestant won. Jordan is great and won when she needed to! I would venture to sya the Jeff is the most liked contestant in Big Brother history! Glad he also won.

so happy jordan won! jeff was hilarious. best season since big brother all-stars w/janelle, kaysar and howie. for future reference...please please keep jesse away!
