JULIE TALKS TO THE GROUP
The ten evictees are in the studio with Julie Chen. Julie starts her interview by asking Jason if his experiences with the HouseGuests has changed any of the ideas he entered the House with. Jason says that he came into the House and fell in love with everybody, which he didn't expect, and made the game tougher for him.

Josh tells Julie that he still plans on spending his life with Merritt, but jokingly says, "I want to see the Grand Canyon, but I'm not going to see it tomorrow." Julie asks Eric if he's learned anything new about Lisa since leaving the House. Eric says that watching her from the outside, he's learned to appreciate her kindness even more.

Chiara says that she thinks her and Roddy will be "amazing friends," but that she doesn't know after that. Julie refers to her exit interview with Roddy, when he said that he absolutely used his charisma in the House, but that he never lied. Roddy says that using his charisma wasn't an immoral thing, like lying, and feels OK with his strategy, since his "mission statement" was to not lie.

Tonya responds to some of the in-House criticism she received first by stating that the air has been cleared with the other HouseGuests and saying that she feels she "can be a mom and still be sexy." Julie asks Lori how she thinks she would have fared if she had survived eviction the first week. Lori says she definitely would have "stirred things up," thanks to her outspoken nature.

Gerry says that since returning to school he's been perceived as the "cool teacher," but people also poke fun at him a little. He adds that he was considered the cool teacher before he went in the House, so that's not much of a change for him.

Marcellas tells Julie that it was his heart that cost him the game and not his ego, adding that if he were truly an egotistical person, he would have used the Golden Veto to save himself. Amy jokingly tells Julie that she plans on moving in with Chiara now that they're out of the House. Finally, Julie tells the evictees to return to the House, where the final votes will be revealed.

THE WINNER IS…
Inside the House, Lisa and Danielle talk, hug and laugh with all their former roommates. Sitting in the nominee chairs, Lisa and Danielle watch as the HouseGuests pull their keys from the Nomination Box, saying who they're voting for. Lori goes first, casting her vote for Lisa to win. Tonya, Eric, Josh, Chiara, Gerry, Roddy, Marcellas and Amy follow suit, pushing the vote in Lisa's favor. Casting the final vote, Jason votes for Danielle, making the final tally 9-1 for Lisa, the winner of BIG BROTHER 3.

Lisa starts to cry as the keys are being pulled, then finally puts her face in her hands as it becomes clear that she's the winner. She leans over to hug Danielle before Josh leads the charge of HouseGuests who come over to offer their congratulations. Everyone makes their way to the front door, where Danielle's husband and children are waiting for her, along with Lisa's father. Danielle cries, hugging her family close as Lisa also gives her father a hug.

FINAL INTERVIEW
The two finalists talk to Julie Chen in the studio. Danielle says that she's "not shocked" that Lisa won, saying that she "did a lot of bad things." Danielle does say that these bad things got her to the final two, but that the voting HouseGuests "have ethics" and "are kind." When Julie asks her what she'd do, if she could do it all again, Danielle says that she'd "do it all the same."

Lisa says that she's surprised that she won and became nervous when Danielle "confessed her sins" earlier in the week, thinking the others might reward her skillful gamesmanship. After playing word association about their fellow HouseGuests, Lisa and Danielle join the others on the front steps of the House as Julie Chen signs off on another successful season of BIG BROTHER.

Congratulations to Lisa, Danielle and all the HouseGuests on a well-played game!
