'Big Brother' Plan Pays Off

The endurance test we call "Big Brother 4" is now over. And today, Jun Song, a 28-year-old investment manager from New York, is half-a-million dollars richer by a vote of 6-1.

It all came down to a contest between Jun and Alison and for voters, the pick was the lesser of two evils.

Jun tells The Early Show co-anchor and show host Julie Chen, that the housemates apathetic attitude toward her win took away from her happiness.

She says, "I thought I would be just ecstatic. The fact they barely clapped and didn't look me in the eye a lot of times."

Though Jun admits Jack, who, like Dana, had previously been evicted, did give her a hug, it was an icy reception and there were still loose ends to take care of. Jun says, "I think they got over things a little bit because they realized, you know, it's over and we need to move on. But I really did not get a very warm welcome from most of the houseguests. Jean congratulated me and Jack gave me credit and Dana said, 'I'd have to apologize later,' but I guess now we're OK."

Apologize for what?

Jun says she is not sure. "I know other people said worse things about her and to her so maybe she's upset we cannot take it to the finals," Jun says.

Jun had expressed concern while she was in the house about how she was being portrayed and how her parents were taking it because she had described them as very traditional. Now that she is out of the house, she is pleased with what her family and friends saw in her.

She says, "My parents are talking to me. They're kind of busy right now. I talked to my brother and he says that they're proud. My aunt used the words 'inspirational.' And so I'm impressed with my family, the fact that they've kind of embraced this whole experience and now they're really proud that I'm bringing some money home."

The prize is $500,000, but Uncle Sam will get a chunk of that.

As for her love life, at the show's finale, she was reunited with her ex-boyfriend, Bob. Jun talked about missing him, hoping she could get back together with him. At the time of the interview with Chen, just a few hours out of the "Big Brother" house, June says things stand as before.

She says, "He's always been there for me and vice versa, so last night, I had a hard time falling asleep and he rubbed my back until I fell asleep. But it turns out he fell asleep before me, so he got a more restful sleep than I did. What is important is he was there and he really comforted me."

This season of "Big Brother" started off with an interesting twist. Houseguests found out after being in the house only a few minutes that their ex-boyfriends and girlfriends were coming in, as well.

Going back, Jun says that watching another ex walk through the door "definitely made me feel sick and then it pissed me off."

Jun and her ex Jee had not seen each other or talked for three years. "Not one word," she notes. Now she says having him there was a positive experience.

She says, "As far as the game went, it was a huge plus for me because I knew there was one person I could manipulate. Even though it had been three years, I knew he still had some of that little boy in him that I could control and I did. And, actually, I'm a little regretting the fact that I was kind of harsh on him, but as far as the game went, it was great for me."

Surprisingly, Jun and Jee had a secret alliance that no one else knew about. Then, Jun says, "I basically dropped him a little later in the game because I was through with him."

Her strategy has been described as a floater, going from alliance to alliance.

Jun says, "If that's the term I'm given, that's fine. I'd like to think I'm my own little island in the 'Big Brother' house."

She says she plans to invest the money she won. She says, "Probably invest it in a nice apartment in the city and then that will probably be all I have."
