Ashley has checked out of the Hotel Mystere as the winner of Big Brother 25.

Ashley Hollis, the lawyer from Chicago, defeated Vince Panaro, unemployed, from California by a vote of six to one. Morgan, Vince’s partner through the final part of the season, was the only vote for him to win.

Ashley has won $750,000. Vince won $75,000.

Vince’s cutthroat and emotionally manipulative gameplay was clearly not appreciated by the jury who could be seen chuckling or smirking at his explanations throughout their questioning.

“I cannot believe it! I really played an honest and loyal game as much as I could and stayed loyal to those who were loyal to me as much as I could! I am really happy!” said Ashley to host Julie Chen-Moonves.

Keanu Soto was awarded with America’s Favourite Houseguest by the viewers and the $50,000 that went along with it. He won by claiming over 65% of the vote.

“I am so thankful! When I came here I wanted to play a relatively clean game, I wanted to make sure if I won I didn’t change as a person and I am glad you appreciated that about me,” he said in accepting the prize.

Ashley decisively won the final HoH of the season and picked Vince to take to the jury. Morgan’s sole focus on her game, her experience at the cost of developing deep relationships with the other houseguests cost her the game in the end as was witnessed in the final competition of the season.

The Mastermind was revealed to be ‘Doctor Evil’ Will Kirby during the second phase of the final HoH…but that turned out to be a red herring.

The Mastermind was actually three past Big Brother players whose games ended because of a twist: Jessie Godderz, Eric Stein and Frankie Grande.
