Beware of spoilers below and STOP READING if you do not want to know what happens and who wins the HOH during the season 21 finale of Big Brother. We will provide live updates once the episode airs.
After a lengthy jury discussion, the episode recaps the events of last week, when Jackson Michie won the first leg of the HOH competition. Because of his victory, he is able to sit out during the second. That means Holly Allen and Nicole Anthony are the finalists who square off.
The second leg of the competition sees Holly defeat Nicole in thrilling fashion. While the Big Brother twitter feed suggests that Nicole had a hard time breathing towards the end of the challenge, the episode cut around it. She is visibly upset by the loss, and she warns Holly not to take Jackson with her Holly counters by saying that she doesn’t want to appear as a backstabber before the jury, and gears up for the third and final leg of the competition.
Jackson Michie Won the Final HOH Competition
While there was some speculation as to who would let who take the third leg of the HOH competition, the inevitable happened: Jackson won, and was subsequently crowned the Head of Household. The duo were forced to identify false statements about the summer at “Camp Big Brother,” and Jackson finished with a perfect score of 8 to Holly’s 7.
As many fans predicted, Jackson decided to evict Nicole to third place, and take Holly with her to the final two. Jackson admitted to being paranoid over whether Holly would betray him, but he stuck to his word and eliminated Nicole instead.

Nicole finished in third place, but that doesn’t mean she will go home empty handed. Given how popular she has been with fans and other contestants, she was a easy choice for “America’s Favorite Houseguest.” The prize for winning the award is $25,000, and she looks pleased with her condolence.
Despite the pushback against Jackson and his aggressive game play (including footage that makes him look pretty unsavory), he comes out on top. He defends his actions against the jury, saying that he never betrayed anyone he didn’t have to. Despite being unhappy with the footage that was shown, Jackson is crowned the winner of Big Brother 21. He wins the grand prize of $500,000, and the runner-up, Holly walks away with $50,000.
