CLIP FROM BIG BROTHER FINALE
The winner of Big Brother is Adam. Applause.

Julie: Congratulations to both of you. Adam, you just found out you're
the winner of Big Brother and you have a check for half a million
dollars. How do you feel.

Adam: Five hundred thousand dollars, Julie, count it. You know, I'm
blessed, The Lord helped me through this, my family pulled me through
in times of need, and this man right here is my ace in the hole, I
mean, I think it was a lot of hard work, and 81 is a lot of catching up
I need to do.

Julie: Ryan, you're going home with fifty thousand dollars, not bad. How
are you feeling.

Ryan: Just fine, I walked out that door with my head held up high. I
didn't get evicted out of here. And there's nobody I'd rather have the
500-thousand dollars than this boy right here. He's going to do good
things with the money. And I'm happy for him.

Julie: Do you think Adam deserved to win over you? Cuz the vote was six
votes for Adam, one for you.

Ryan: I mean, I don't know. He played a great game. I felt he was
deserving. I felt I was deserving too.

Julie: Was this game what you thought it was going to be? Adam, you
first.

Adam: Me, pretty much, my cousin also gave me a tip, he said, play your
base, when the ball comes to you, field it, play your position. And it
was what I thought it was going to be but yet is was so much different.
The monotony in the house gets to you.

BIG BROTHER CLIP.
WHAT DID I DO TO MAKE YOU TREAT ME LIKE THIS?

Adam: And the other houseguests overthink the game too much. You know,
ask Ryan, it's more of a simple game, make a decision when needed, and
that's it. Everybody just thinks it out, as Sheila would say,
scenarials, really aggravated me.

Julie: Ryan how about for you, was this what you expected?

Ryan: Um, It was a little more anxiety and stress ridden than I thought,
I went to bed stressed, woke up, had dreams about campaigning, being
stressed out, woke up stressed out, I mean it was tough all around and
so it was more stressful and hard than I thought it would be.

Julie: Was it worth this 50-thousand dollar check I'm about to hand you?

Ryan: It was definitley worth it, if I was booted out last week it
wouldn't have been worth it.

Julie: Wow. And here you go, 500-thousand dollars. You guys do have to
pay taxes on that, I just want to say for the record. Adam, Ryan, thank
you both, congratulations.

Applause.
