Big Brother Winners: RANKED!

Nineteen.  It's hard to imagine there have been nineteen winners in the history of Big Brother.  Whether they won competitions, floated along or manipulated their way to the finish line, all of the house guests below have won $500,000 as a result of coming out on top of this show.  But who was the BEST winner and why? Let's count them down! 19. Adam Jasinski Adam was a decent player, but he was part of the Winter edition of the series that was only on the air because of the 2007 Writer’s Strike. With bizarre changes to the format, it was the worst edition of the series. After winning the $500,000, Adam thought it was a good idea to use the money to fund his one drug ring. Yes, he’s the worst. 18. Lisa Donahue Lisa Donahue made some bold moves during her time in the house, but there’s no denying that Danielle Reyes played the better game. Danielle never won because the jury was bitter as hell because she got them all out. Lisa’s win paved the way for a rule change that meant the jurors were sequestered. 17. Steve Moses Steve was a genuinely nice person in the house, but his strategy did not match up to Vanessa Rousso’s. She had more competition wins, and manipulated everyone in the house. Steve pretty much coasted to the end, but because Vanessa was evicted at the final hurdle, he was in the final two with a less deserving winner. 16. Jordan Lloyd Jordan Lloyd only won because she was the nicer of the two at the end. She took Natalie Martinez. Jordan had a higher competition win, but Natalie was a solid strategist who fought for her survival every week. Unfortunately, Jordan didn’t really start playing the game until she returned for Big Brother 13. 15. Eddie McGee Eddie won Big Brother when it was a completely different show. He was a deserving winner of the initial iteration of the series. There was no strategy at that point, but he was a likable guy. 14. Maggie Ausburn Maggie Ausburn was part of the infamous “The Friendship” alliance. Some argued that she was protected throughout her time in the house. Others would say that she knew when to cause a scene. With just one HOH win, she is one of few winners who managed to float to the end with little wins. View Slideshow

Big Brother Winners: RANKED!

Zach Roloff Cradles Newborn, Gushes Over Fatherhood

Simply put, it doesn't get much more adorable than this. On May 12, Tori Roloff and Zach Roloff welcomed their first child into the world. His name is Jackson Kyle and we later learned that he does, indeed, carry the same gene as his famous father; despite measuring “normal” length at birth, he will grow up to be a Dwarf. This will be a challenge, Jacob has openly admitted. Speaking to People Magazine, the TLC star talked openly about his own difficulties as a child with this genetic disposition. He was called names. He was chosen last for sports. There was no talk of him getting elected Homecoming King. “I grew up with the name-calling,” Roloff said in a feature piece for the publication, adding: “I look at my childhood and being a boy on the farm, it was a little tough because boys are very alpha-doggy and follow the pack. “I was always chasing the back and way behind the pack. It was tough.” The result is that “you have to encourage a dwarf child a little more because it will take them five steps to do what others can do in two,” Roloff said a few weeks ago. Now, about a month into fatherhood, Zach has talked once again about this life-changing experience. In new footage for his vlog with Tori – aptly named “Z and T Party of Three” – he discussed the first few days at home with the baby. “It felt super surreal and natural the first time I held baby Jackson,” says the Little People, Big World star below, going on in a bit more detail as follows: “Infants, I always thought, were fragile and hard to hold, but with your own child, it’s super confident.” It's strange, but true. Only parents can really understand this. As for Jackson being born with achondroplasia? “Baby Jackson came in as [a little person] — just like me,” the new dad says, emphasizing: “We’re super excited for it, though. We’ll hope to just give him a healthy, happy life and support him in every way. “He can experience as much as the world as Tori and me have been able to and hopefully much more.” And look how cute he is! Check out the full video and see what else Zach and Tori have to say about their son right now:
