After a season filled with drama, the winner ofBig Brother‘s 21st season was finally declared on Wednesday night.
Jackson Michie ultimately walked away as the winner on the season finale after defeating his showmance Holly Allen in a 6-3 jury vote. Nicole Anthony, meanwhile, was evicted earlier in the show, finishing in third place.
Prior to Wednesday’s finale, Michie, 24, defeated Allen and Anthony in part 1 of the three-part final Head of Household competition of the season, allowing him to move directly on to part 3 on finale night.
After Allen, 31, beat out Anthony, 24, in part 2 during the episode, she and Michie faced off in a live competition to become the final HOH. Michie won, earning him his fourth HOH win of the season, and the power to choose who would be joining him in the final two.

Unsurprisingly, Michie opted to hold true to his relationship with Allen and evict Anthony from the house. After her exit interview with host Julie Chen Moonves, Anthony joined previous evicted houseguests Jack Matthews, Kathryn Dunn, Analyse Talavera, Nick Maccarone, Jessica Milagros, Christie Murphy, Tommy Bracco and Cliff Hogg as the ninth and final member of the jury.
Meanwhile, Allen took home $50,000 as the second place finisher with votes from Dunn, Milagros, and Anthony.
