Waitress Wins Latest "Big Brother"

(CBS/AP)  Jordan Lloyd was served the $500,000 grand prize on "."

The goofy 22-year-old waitress from Matthews, N.C., bested Natalie Martinez, the scheming 24-year-old recent college graduate from Gilbert, Ariz., on the season finale of the voyeuristic CBS reality show.

Lloyd received five votes from the show's seven-member jury, which included viewer votes as the possibly tie-breaking seventh pick for the first time.

Lloyd, who spent most of the season aligned with and romantically linked to charming 31-year-old advertising salesman Jeff Schroeder, defeated Kevin Campbell, the cunning 29-year-old graphic designer from Chula Vista, Calif., in the last round of a three-part Head of Household competition, which allowed her to choose Martinez to battle against for votes.

"It was my fault," Campbell lamented. "I should have won the last competition."

"Big Brother" is hosted by "Early Show" co-anchor Julie Chen.

Martinez, who earned a $50,000 second-place prize, had been aligned with several jury members, but her lies in the game apparently caught up to her in the jury house and cost her votes. Her biggest fib? Fooling most of the contestants - or houseguests, as they're referred to on the show - into believing she was an 18-year-old recent high school graduate.

"She acted like she was 12," said Schroeder, who was voted "favorite houseguest" by viewers and won a $25,000 prize.

Lloyd outplayed her 12 competitors, who were all isolated from the outside world and monitored by dozens of cameras and microphones, for 73 days inside the "Big Brother" house.

She cited her unbreakable bond with Schroeder and ability to win competitions after he was eliminated as the main reasons why she should win.

So what is she going to do with the moolah?

"Put a down payment on a house for me, my mom and my brother," she said.

The live two-hour finale also featured the jury's interrogation of the final two and a reunion of the "Big Brother" cast - except for Chima Simone, the 33-year-old freelance journalist who was expelled after tossing a microphone into a whirlpool spa. Because Simone wasn't part of the jury, viewers cast the possibly tie-breaking seventh vote for Lloyd.

I absolutely do not want to see a Nat wedding!!!!!!

[texasgram1]

Soooo glad that Jordan won! Hated the fact that Natalie and Kevin were in the final three with her. They were both such nasty little liars! Lydia was pretty nasty but those two were the worst! I couldn't stand either one of them. I stopped watching after Jeff made the mistake of believing their lies!! Come on Jeff, they lied and cheated from day one! At least Jeff won the 25K...too bad Gnat won 50K. She didn't deserve a penny of it! Anyway, I hope BB stops scouring the bottom of the barrel for the next season! We had a few of them this time. I won't even comment on Chima....disgustingggggg! Yuck! Good job Jordan and Jeff!! Woohoo!!!!!

[gojeffjordo]

Totally agree with texasgram1.

[kitkat1138]

I think Jordans Mom and Grandpa should be really proud. I would love to have my daughter be so overwhelmingly devoted to family. She is a great girl even behind the scenes on After Dark.

[kitkat1138]

I agree I have waited all this time to watch more interaction with Jeff and Jordan. We loved to watch after dark just for them. They clicked so well and were a delight to watch. They have a wonderful repertoire together,and I
want to know if they go on.

Jeff and Jordan, I truely hope you get married and have children... it is hard to find what you two have found, I hope you realizeit... and make it work...
I would love to see your wedding on TV... and CBS should pay for it because you two made them a lot of money....

[Gina123452]

I too was disappointed with the interview, I want to know more about Jeff and Jordan... I would like you to follow up with them so we can know what is going on and did they make it... or a series of shows and take a camera crew out on dates with them... lol

I did not want to hear about Natalie... and I for sure do not want to see her get married on TV.... She is a liar and a snake and she is a very troubled soul... she steals, she took Kevin hoodie, and she bullied him and he was afraid of her... It was all too sad...
and other thing... she is a control freak and she likes telling people what to do... she gets into other peoples business and it really is upsetting... especialy when she bullied Kevin around... He had no chance with her and her mouth...
One rull should also be in the BB house is that you shower and brush your teeth... that dirty girl went days without a shower or brushing her teeth... it was just gross....

Congrats to Jordon and Jeff.!!!!! We've laughed with you, we've cried with you, we've had a very entertaing summer because of you. Get ready to be bombarded with fans when you leave that house. And Jordon, PLEASE, don't give that gnat your phone number.She never liked you or Jeff, and she is not worthy of your friendship, now or EVER!!! Stay true to yourself, and enjoy your new beginning. It is all that WE, your fans want. CBS, PLEASE..give us some kind of updates in the future of these two. They deserve all the air time you can spare. Plus, we want to see more of them in the future!!! I'm sure I speak for many J/J fans. And .... Nat-a- LIE, go home and make your dad and fiance miserable. I'm sure you're good at it. Hope to never see that face or hear that voice again..... Kevin, Michele, we loved you guys too. But J/J had us from the start. If you ever get to read this,"Lots of luck to you all, and thankyou for a dramatic summer".... hope to see you again on the tube, one way or another....
BB 11 Fan, for sure!

Congrats Jordan! I was so happy that she won. I felt like I won when she did:)! Def would love to see more of Jeff and Jordan!

Seriously, after watching both of the available video clips from the interviews, I was confused! I knew Jordan had won, but I couldn't understand why she was only interviewed for a few seconds, but Natalie and Kevin were interviewed for several long, and agonizing minutes! I was hoping once Jordan had won, I wouldn't have to ever listen to that annoying "Nat" voice again! It was bad enough that she actually won second place. But, she did. However, based on the interview, a person who hadn't watched all season would have thought Nat won the $500,000! What kept me watching was the SHOWMANCE between Jeff and Jordan. After Jeff left, I watched because I wanted to see Jordan win. The very next day, at work, I got online to see the interview...such a disappointment! Then, today, I got on again looking to see if I had missed something. Again, disappointment! Julie herself said earlier in the interview that she isn't thinking straight because she is pregnant. Maybe that was the problem with this issue as well.
