Which of the final three players played the best game?

That was the main question as we went into the final episode of Big Brother. 

We picked up at the first part of the HOH competition.

The houseguests followed a red beam around the garden and held on to whichever object it stopped at. 

Nicole swiftly dropped, followed by James. 

That meant Paul won part one of the HOH competition.

We then got to witness the jury getting some tips from Dr. Kirby. 

It’s become something of a tradition, but most of the fans have long forgotten who the heck he is. 

As expected, Michelle continued to be totally bitter over Nicole making it further than her. 

Any way you look at it, it’s pretty obvious Michelle is jealous that the other super fan in the house got her out.

Maybe if Michelle showed some loyalty around the house, she might have made it further. 

As expected, Michelle started bawling like a baby when the jury realized she had it out for Nicole. 

Da’vonne pretty much called it when she said that regardless of what everyone thought of Nicole, she played a solid game. 

James and Nicole then faced each other in part two of the HOH competition. 

Nicole absolutely trounced James. She completed the competition in just over seven minutes. 

James struggled and finished just over 12 minutes later. 

That paved the way for the final part of the competition. 

It was super tense and Paul eventually beat out Nicole. 

He then shocked the audience by sending James out the door.

There’s absolutely no way Nicole would have kept Paul over James, so there’s that. 

James was confused by Paul’s speech. 

It basically called him out for being a snake.

Paul has been very vocal about him not liking the way James has played the game.

The jury asked the final two generic questions about their decisions throughout the game. 

When we got to the vote, it sure seemed like Paul was going to win the game. 

Then, when the votes came in, Nicole won!

It was probably the most shocking jury decision in the history of the series. 

The vote was 5-4 in Nicole’s favor. 

Before the show was over, Victor won America’s Favorite Houseguest. 

Julie also revealed that a either Jason from Big Brother 17, or Jozea from this year’s series would be making their way into the house next week on CBS All Access. 

What did you think of the Big Brother finale?

Did Nicole deserve to win?
