Jordan Lloyd was crowned the big winner of the night on the 11th season finale of the voyeuristic CBS reality series Big Brother.

The 22-year-old waitress from Matthews, North Carolina won the competition and the $500,000 grand prize thanks to the show’s seven-member jury and viewer votes. Scheming housemate Natalie Martinez, a 24-year-old recent college graduate from Gilbert, Arizona, came in second place and went home with a $50,000 cash prize

When asked what she’ll likely do with her half-a-million in winnings, Jordan said, “Put a down payment on a house for me, my mom and my brother.”

Big Brother will return for its 12th season in the summer of 2010.
