Celebrity Big Brother has come to an end.The house guests of Celebrity Big Brother may not have agreed on much this season, but in the end they were able to agree on a winner. In Wednesday’s Season 2 finale, Tamar Braxton received a unanimous vote to become the second-ever celebrity winner of the CBS reality show. Plus, she broke the “First In” curse.
Ricky Williams and Lolo Jones battled it out for the big win on the Wednesday, February 13, finale.
The episode picked up where the last left off — midway through the puzzle HoH competition. It was a close comp, with the exception of Dina, who forgot the rules and was disqualified. Ricky ended up winning the HoH — his first of the season; he put Dina and Kandi up on the block. He then made a final two deal with Tamar. They also agreed that if Kandi or Dina won the veto, obviously Lolo was going up.
However, when it came time for the veto comp, Lolo earned the W. The jury was also shocked to see Lolo, but were excited to all be together again to ask the final two questions. Ricky and Tamar both gave stand-out speeches, and if the game was based on that, they may have tied. However, it wasn’t. In fact, the votes weren’t even close. Every single one went to Tamar. She is an American singer, songwriter, media personality, reality star, and reality game show winner.
She was named the winner of Celebrity Big Brother season 2, taking home $250,000! Ricky was awarded the second place prize of $50,000. Meanwhile, Tom Green received America’s Favorite Houseguest!
Fans took to twitter to offer the celebrity congratulatory messages.
