ADAM
JASINSKI WINS "BIG BROTHER" AND THE GRAND PRIZE OF $500,000
Based On Viewer Votes During The Live Finale, "Crazy James"
Is Awarded $25,000 For Being Named The Fan's Favorite Jury Member
After living in the BIG BROTHER house for 81 days, Adam Jasinski
emerged triumphant last night as the BIG BROTHER Grand Prize winner of
$500,000 based on the votes of his former housemates on the jury. Ryan
Quicksall will receive $50,000 as the second place winner.
Last night, Adam Jasinski, the 29-year-old public relations manager
from Delray Beach, Fla. via Cherry Hill, N.J., faced a jury consisting of
the last seven evicted Houseguests (listed in order of eviction): Matt,
Chelsia, Joshuah, James, Natalie, Sharon and Sheila. Jacob Heald, Parker
Somerville, Jen Diturno, Amanda Hansen, Allison Nichols and Alex
Coladonato were also present, but were not part of the jury.
After each of the jury members had the chance to ask the finalists
questions, the seven members of the jury voted live on-air for whom they
wanted to win. By a vote of 6-1, Jasinski became the grand-prize winner of
$500,000. James, Matt, Chelsia, Natalie, Sharon and Sheila voted for
Jasinski. Joshuah was the sole jury member who voted for Ryan Quicksall,
the 27 year-old college student from Columbus, Ohio. In addition, a viewer
vote for their favorite jury member awarded "Crazy James"
$25,000.
After leaving BIG BROTHER, Ryan and Adam were met by family and former
housemates and interviewed by Julie Chen.
