Good triumphed over evil on last night's season finale of 'Big Brother.'In a vote of 5-2, 22-year-old waitress Jordan Lloyd defeated the villainous Natalie Martinez to win the coveted $500,000 prize.
Martinez was awarded $50,000.
For the first time ever, viewers were asked to cast their vote on who should win the game. The decision was made after producers evicted Chima in August for violating show rules.
Staying true to her nice girl image, Jordan said she hopes to use the $500,000 for a number of things (among them a down payment on a house for her mom and brother). As for Natalie -- who at one point claimed to be 18 years old when she was actually 24 -- well, we're afraid to ask.
Also leaving 'Big Brother 11' a winner: Jeff Schroeder of Norridge, Illinois, who was named America's Favorite Houseguest -- a title that includes a $25,000 cash prize.
Meanwhile, Kevin Campbell, a graphic designer from Chula Vista, California, finished third, after head of household Jordan evicted him earlier in the episode.

I was hoping either Jordan or Jeff would win. My hopes came true. Natalie was way out of line by not being truthful about her age.You go Jordan Congratulations!!!!! Chima deserved what she got.She should be made to pay everything Big Brother gave her. My grandson is 9 Jordan and he is in love with you

You're entitled to your opinion, but if you're such a Chima fan, maybe you could spell her name correctly.

Only a racist would agree with you. How blind can you be. Chima did everything she was told not to do and you still defend her? If Kevin would have won the last HOH, he would have one.
Its people like you that make us minorities look like racist.

I am offended by what chrisclay is saying in his/her rant ... I have watched BB for many years and was pleased to see someone win who actually should have. As for being racist chema got tossed because of her actions not her skin color and me being the same skin color was appalled by her actions and disrespect for the rules. I cannot say BB should or should not get more variety of races in the house but I agree with them booting the rule breakers ... that's life Way to go Jordon!!!

Jordon should have been disqualfied from BB when she chest bumped Russell — That was physical. If Russell would have bumped Jordan he would have been DQ’d. BB have doubled standards and I’m getting annoyed, something does’t seem copacetic.
In the future contestants should get rid of the weaker players first. It is such a dis-satifcation to see a winner who was slow and piggy-backing to the end. I feel like I was the ediot wasting my time to watch the show end up like this.

What about when Kevin Chest bumped Ronnie; should have Kevin also been disqualified? Come on people Jordan won fair and square so get over it; she deserved to win.
