Don't forget us in our new permanent spot at cbsbigbrother. We just updated on Big Brother 9's winner Adam, and his immediate future after his drug arrest a few months ago. Join us!

We're re-sending this entry as a new one. The Twitter accounts of the house guests have been updated, and everyone now has one, except Braden (although he is on Facebook). Enjoy!

If you have a question about whether a certain Twitter account you find is real or not, CHECK THIS PAGE. We work to find the real accounts, and we are not posting fake ones. There are fake ones for Russell, Jeff, & Jordan (at least). The ones on this page ARE REAL. Period. Anything else is fake, and you're on your own if you follow those.

If you follow these folks, some have YouTube accounts and/or Facebooks. You'll find those links within their Twitter pages. Lydia posts videos a lot, and Kevin has posted a couple of videos too (he already had a YouTube before being a house guest).

Confirmed "rumors" are that Jeff and Jordan taped an episode of The Bold and The Beautiful. No word on the air date yet. We'll let ya know when we find out.

UPDATE: October 27th, it will air. Set your DVRs. Or at least make a note until then. haha

We noticed that with the big get together in Las Vegas this weekend, as many of the house guests from Big Brother history gathered to party and celebrate, we thought the biggest drama was Keesha and April in the pool together at a hotel, and not talking to each other. But then we noticed that Scrappy wasn't there. Then, someone at the parties, tweeted this:

Hot news!! Nat is not here cuz she was & I quote a pre-madonna & made a ton of commands!

Shocked? Yeah, we're not either. After Chima's walking off the show and taking a shat on her opportunity, Scrappy is riding coat tails again a close second. What an ungrateful biznatch! She was still ranting about the first Big Brother wedding, and demanding CBS pay for it. Well sorry honey, that won't happen, and your engagement wasn't the first either. Remember Boogie? Yeah, he did that on the air already. So yet again....second place for you.

By the way, recheck the Twitter entry. Apparently we got duped by a fake-Russell account. He has a real one, and we've updated that entry to reflect that. Still no Jeff, Jordan or Kevin twitters. However, if you watched Kevin's video on the previous entry, you'll notice he said he is active on his Facebook. Look for "Kevin Campbell".

We have gotten some sort of responses from Russell, Lydia, Ronnie, and Chima on Twitter. Michele Big Brother10 interacts with us on Facebook a bit, which is great. Steven from Big Brother 10 has said hello a few times and emailed us on Facebook as well. It seems that the Big Brother 11 house guests are just happy to be out in the real world again. We blogged everyone's Twitter that we found. Please note that the Twitter accounts out there for Jeff and Jordan are FAKE! Ronnie purposely asked them yesterday because so many were asking (everyone is in Vegas for the big party this weekend) if they had a Twitter. Both Jeff and Jordan said they do not have a Twitter account. Remember, Jordan said she didn't even have an email until just a couple of weeks before the show, so CBS could get in touch with her about the show coming up.

Once Vegas settles, we are going to try and get a phone interview together with Ronnie. We'll post it as a podcast on the blog for you, if/when it happens.

Russell is now well aware of his muscle being flashed on the feeds and, now, all over the blogasphere.

Russell answered a few people's question about advice to be on the show. He said, "Many of you are asking for tips. I would just say to be yourself and to amplify your greatest attributes that you can contribute to the game"

We responded with, "If that's the case, do you contribute your idea of "playing a character" to your leaving the house before you wanted?".

He responded with, "not necessarily. people saw me as a strong player so I understood that they wanted me out!"

We followed up with, "You were definitely strong. It seems your paranoia did you in more, no? "SCHEMERS!" FYI Jordan/Michele WERE talking books.".

In a separate tweet, Russell mentioned that he was scouted by a producer just three weeks before the show started. He was quite cool to talk to, even ever-so-briefly.

Lydia mentioned she used Kat Von D makeup on the show. We told her we loved her makeup, and would love to see her on Kat Von D's show L.A. Ink to get her Big Brother Key tattoo she mentioned on the show. We asked her to let everyone know if/when that happens.

Ronnie is very personable, and still a dork at heart, but aren't we all? We can be when it comes to certain things we love in our life. And HELLO....we've run a Big Brother blog for two years now! That SCREAMS "dork".

Wait! It’s over? It’s done? Yes, my Big Brother friends, the season has come to an end. Phooey. Granted, I’ve got some stuff going on (Baby ChenTot is on his way…well, soon!), but it’s always a bit sad when I say the final goodnight at the end of each season. Sigh…what a season it was!

BUT FIRST… (Chenbot lives on!)

FINAL H.O.H. PART ONE:
First round of HOH: “Log Jam”
WINNER: Kevin

Set-up: The Houseguests stood on a log while keeping contact with their key. As the seasons began to turn, so did the log. We threw wind, rain, leaves and snow at them. Jordan fell first.

Cut to…Natalie thinks Kevin is good on his word to take her to the final two and jumps off the log roll 10 minutes or so after Jordan fell (she was having a shower when it happened). WOW! As I watched, I couldn’t help but think…“You get to the Final 3 and you believe anyone??” Sigh. I’m not going to lie…Natalie played a good game, but, that was a stupid move. I’m sitting at home screaming at the television, “Stay on the damn log!” Not because I’m partial…I just couldn’t believe she’d be that big of a gambler! Having said that, she may not have been the dominant force in our Big Brother competitions, but she ultimately got herself far in this game. Natalie haters, think it through. It’s a GAME, she played it good enough to get her to the Final Two.

SIDE NOTE: Folks, I know some of you think there was some sort of conspiracy with this challenge…Natalie didn’t break any rules on this. I do appreciate the passion, though…thanks for caring!

Natalie to Jordan: “What the hell was that white stuff?”
Jordan: “It’s snow, Natalie.”

DID YOU KNOW?, PART ONE:
The Big Brother pets this season were fish – Tiger Barb from Sumatra and Rand Garra Algae Eaters from Borneo.

HOH – PART TWO: “Heads Will Roll”
Winner: Jordan

Since Kevin won Part 1 of 3 for the final H.O.H. competition, Part 2 was between the ladies of the house.

Natalie and Jordan took turns (while the other was in lock-down, unaware of the end result…Kevin was sweating it out, also in lockdown, somewhere in the BB house). One at a time, each stood at the base of a ramp with the names of former Houseguest printed on balls which they then needed to roll up the ramp in order of this season’s H.O.H. reign.

Jordan won (Natalie: 5 correct; Jordan: 9 correct).

DID YOU KNOW?, PART TWO:
There are 52 cameras used in the Big Brother House.
There are 95 microphones used in the Big Brother House.
There are 119 one-way mirrors in the Big Brother House.
It takes approximately 230 laps in the pool to equal a mile.
There are approximately 200-300 hours of footage shot to produce one episode!!

H.O.H. COMPETITION PART 3: “Jury Rules”
Winner: Jordan

Talk about a nail-biter. It came down to a tie between Kevin and Jordan and up to…the chalkboard. And a question about the total votes cast (including tie-breakers) this entire season. I thought Kevin had it. He was counting on his fingers while Jordan seemed panicked. Readers…we all under-estimated Jordan. The correct answer was 51…she wrote 50. Well. Done. Jordan.

FINAL HOUSEGUEST QUOTES:

Jeff to Lydia during the Jury House Debate: “I might as well talk to that plant!”…It’s like talking to a road cone!”

Jeff to Jessie during the Jury House debate: “This room doesn’t fit your head, and we’re outside!”

Lydia (while casting her vote): “Jordan, I love a good blonde.”

I (and my alter ego, Chenbot) would like to thank all of you for supporting the show and supporting me. I’m not going to even try to spin this…I was sweating it…as much as I wanted to host the Big Brother Finale, I wasn’t sure if Baby ChenTot had different plans for me. We all made it to the end…I thank all of you for your kind words and support. You have no idea how much this has meant to me. Big Hug to All! I’m off to have A BABY…YAHOO!! Big Brother fans…you’re the best!

BTW: You can see Jeff on “The Bonnie Hunt Show” this Friday…check your local listings! They’re both from Chicago…should be fun to watch!

VIEWER QUESTIONS:

Question: There are those who believe that the Big Brother producers favor certain houseguests. Examples include Kevin’s statement that the diary room producers pressured him to keep Michele in the game, and the fact that Jordan was not expelled despite approaching Russell in a threatening manner. In a 2007 EW interview Alison Grodner admitted that the Big Brother rules can be changed at any time. In the Netherlands, Australia and UK, there have been several lawsuits alleging that Big Brother is rigged. How do you respond to current allegations that Big Brother 11 is rigged?

Julie: Big Brother is NOT rigged. I think the scandal of the 50’s game show, Quiz Show, was a lesson for all as to why you cannot rig a game show. It’s ILLEGAL! Plus, it would defeat the concept of Big Brother. Our show is about human behavior and the consequences of that behavior. Sometimes the good guys win…sometimes they don’t. It’s like life. If it was rigged, the show would be boring and predictable! The drama is in the surprise of what happens every week…be it something you’re happy about or not.

Viewer: Julie, Please say that you will continue to host BB after you become a mother. This show wouldn’t be the same without you. It is by far my favorite reality show on TV. I eagerly await it every summer. Congrats.

Julie: Absolutely! I love the show too…hosting it, watching it, working on it, blogging about it…the list goes on. I cannot imagine having the show continue without me hosting it. I have so much fun doing it. Thank you!

Viewer: Will you be back next year to blog Big Brother 12 at EW? I absolutely loved your insights on the best television show of the summer! (Editors note: we would LOVE to have you back, Julie!!!!)

Julie: Yes, yes and yes! Thanks for asking (fans and editors!). I had a blast doing these blogs. It made me feel hip and young and I didn’t even have to tweet!

If you could ask Ronnie a question or two or three, what would you wanna ask him? Be nice, but be honest.

We might just get to score a phone interview with him, which we plan to record and upload, if it happens. Shoot us your questions.

In the end, good triumphed over evil.

OK, so maybe that's a bit simplistic. But fans of CBS's "Big Brother" had to be happy with Tuesday night's end-of-game, which saw perky blonde Jordan decisively defeat scrappy martial artist Natalie.

During most of the season, TV MoJoe has been talking to "Brother" showrunner Allison Grodner about each week's eviction. She took time for one more conversation, revealing a slew of tidbits about the finale and the season just passed.

Big thanks to Grodner and CBS publicity for making these chats happen. And a word about last week's trivia contest:

We asked you to identify which of the annoying house intruders from a recent episode had appeared in a previous season. The answer, according to Grodner?

The Mad Hatter, who spouted famous quotes in season eight, was back this year as well-- this time as the copycat.

The first person to correctly identify this fact was reader Melissa Fowler. Email me at joe@thewrap.com to claim your prize.

Thanks for reading "Whoa, Brother" this summer. Keep checking TV MoJoe all season long for more reality news and interviews.

So if I had said to you three weeks ago that Jordan was going to win "Big Brother," you probably would have laughed at me.

Very possibly. Even last night during the finale, it was the first finale we've been through without any idea of who would win. People are very happy with the outcome. Viewers were behind her. People were rooting for the nice person, and the person everyone considers the nice one won.

Clearly Jordan made the right move taking Natalie with her.

Kevin was going to win in either scenario (where he was in the final two).

Was it luck that got Jordan to the end?

It was an amazing guess. And Kevin admitted later he just had a brain fart and couldn't figure it out.

If Kevin had won the final HOH....

He would've taken Jordan. It would have shocked Natalie, but he insisted in all his diary rooms that's what he would've done.

And if he had made it to the final two, do you think he would have won?

Yes. Of the three of them (Natalie, Kevin, Jodan), the vote would have overwhelming been for him. He played the social game well and scored in the key competitions.

Some of the final votes were shockers. Like Jessie voting for Jordan.

It was surprising. I never would've thought he'd choose Jordan over Natalie. Natalie claims something in her goodbye message was nasty to Jessie. But nobody here remembers that. I think something happened in the jury house, maybe with Lydia, to change his mind.

Why did Jessie say "hakuna matata" when voting?

We were baffled-- as we often were when it comes to Jessie and his use of phrases. Then we started singing the song, which is about having no worries for the rest of your life. So maybe he was telling Jordan she didn't have to worry?

It was funny he chose a song from "The Lion King." Because (production) had felt that Kevin and Natalie were actually like those two characters in that movie, Pumbaa and Timon. They were also sitting around making fun of people behind their backs. It all came full circle!

I was surprised Russell chose Natalie.

I think he just respected her game more. He had a hard time agreeing that Jordan played a good game.

So what are you most proud of this season?

I'm proud that we made it through. And that after 11 seasons. the show continues to stand up as a force to be reckoned with, and that the ratings grew. People were just truly addicted to the show this seasons.

And the cast was so invested in the game this year. Sometimes toward the end, they check out. But these people cared to the bitter end. It all played out in a way that worked really well.

Any thing you wish you could change?

It would've been nice to see stronger players stay in, but there's ultimately there's nothing we could do to change that. That's how the game is sometimes. My guess would be that next year the strong players are going to take note and get rid of the floaters early.

What was the best moment of the season for you?

I loved the coup d'etat. I love that it got used. It was electric being there in the studio. It really was a terrific moment.

Will it be back?

It's tough to repeat things. Game-changing power is fun, but next year, if we have a power, it will probably be earned. But we'll continue to find ways for viewers to interact.

OK, word association time. Tell me the first thing that pops into your mind when I mention the names of players.

Jordan.

Sweetheart.

Natalie.

Cunning.

Kevin.

Hilarious.

Jeff.

Genuine.

Jessie.

Eccentric.

Michelle.

Misunderstood.

Russell.

Any hints about next season?

It's too soon to say.

But I do think we'll continue to use our annex.

So it's possible we'll see an extra room next year, as with Pandora's Box.

Could be!
