Big Brother 11: Why Jordan Won

Big Brother 11 Winner Jordan Lloyd

 

By David McAlpine

 

I have to admit, I was surprised by the outcome of Big Brother 11. Pleasantly surprised, don’t get me wrong, but shocked nonetheless. Coming into the game, who would have thought that Jordan, the girl who had never seen Big Brother, who didn’t even have internet before she applied for the show, who was even deemed by CBS as “naïve” would walk away with the $500,000?

 

Initially, I was rooting for Laura, because I thought she would rip through the house. When Jordan aligned with her, I thought she’d probably make the jury, but she’d be one of those sacrifice 7th or 8th place evictions. And then as the game progressed and Braden and Laura were the first two evicted, I still expected Jordan to make the jury, but get evicted after she’d been dragged along by the stronger players.

 

Something must have clicked in her head around the time that Casey left, though, because she wisened up, stopped being so lazy in the house and really started playing the game. Most of the time on the feeds, she was listening to what everyone had to say and she was truly collaborating with Jeff—not being his puppet like everyone says she was.

 

Granted, she didn’t win that much, and what she did win was more or less handed to her by Jeff (with the exception of the final HoH), but she still played a solid game. She didn’t have any individual responsibility for any big moves made, but she was still a key player in many of the decisions from the start of the jury leading up to Jeff’s eviction.

 

After Jeff’s eviction, though, I thought it was over for her. She seemed really upset that he was gone and it was almost as if she had accepted the fact that Jeff had been her crutch and now she was completely hopeless. But maybe that played into her strategy, because Kevin and Natalie targeted Michele over her, which allowed her to slip into the final three and take the whole game home.

 

Was she a perfect winner? No, of course not, she could have been so much more active, and there were points in the season when she was borderline annoying because of how dependent on Jeff she was. But compare her to Natalie or Kevin and she totally deserved to win the finale. Kevin had zero strategy whatsoever and I honestly forgot about him during the middle stretch of the game. It was hard for me to like his gameplay because I liked him so much as a person that I wanted him to play a lot harder than he was and stop being so scared of everyone hating him.

 

Natalie, on the other hand, just straight up blew her shot in the finals. Had Natalie not been so cocky and given a lot more credit to the people on the jury (i.e. Jessie and Lydia), she could have won the game. But instead, she was proud of all the lies that she told. Since when does being proud of blatant deception win anyone over, especially against one of the most innocent people ever on national television? I guess Natalie never thought about that one.

 

I really do give props to Jordan for winning this season, because I think of all the winners, she ranks up there as one of the biggest underdogs at the beginning of the season. I think the best part about it all that you know she’s going to improve her life with the money and she’s not going to let the temporary stardom go to her head. Though the end was slightly dull, I think this season earned Big Brother’s highest ratings for a reason, and I’m totally happy that Jordan came out on top.
