'Big Brother 15' Finale Recap: Winner Crowned in Landslide Vote & Elissa Wins America's Favorite HouseGuest [VIDEO]
The finale of Big Brother 15 aired Wednesday night, featuring the crowning of the winner.
HouseGuests: Andy Herren, GinaMarie Zimmerman and Spencer Clawson
The episode began in the midst of part 1 of the final HOH competition. The competition involved the houseguests roller-skating on a rink while holding onto a bar. Spencer quickly dropped, eliminating him from the competition. Andy dropped next, meaning GinaMarie was the winner of the competition. She was automatically granted the right to advance to part 3 of the HOH competition.
Andy and Spencer then competed in part 2 of the competition to determine who would face GinaMarie in part 3. They had to find plastic crabs with the faces of evicted houseguests on them and put them in order of eviction. Whichever houseguest did it in the shortest amount of time would advance to part 3. It was revealed that Andy had beat Spencer by 15 minutes, meaning he would advance to part 3 against GinaMarie.
Finally, Andy and GinaMarie faced off live in the final part of the HOH competition. Host Julie Chen asked them about statements by the jury. Whoever had the most points by the end of the competition would win the final HOH. Andy won the competition by one vote, giving him the power to evict either GinaMarie or Spencer.
Andy decided to evict Spencer, saying that he was keeping his word to GinaMarie from Day 1. Spencer was officially the last person evicted from the house.
The nine jury members then cast their votes on who they thought deserved to win Big Brother 15. By a vote of 7-2, Andy was officially crowned the winner of Big Brother 15. He received $500,000 while GinaMarie received $50,000 as runner-up.
Elissa Slater was then rewarded America's Favorite HouseGuest and given a $25,000 prize.
