Kaycee's 'Big Brother 20' Win Was Well-Deserved And Rightfully Hers

"Big Brother" is a competition reality show in which about 15 strangers live in a house together for 100 days with no contact with the outside world in hopes that one of them will walk out with $500,000. The show just finished its 20th season (yes, 20th!!!), so it's pretty safe to say it's popular and successful. Unfortunately, I didn't start watching until season 19, and I'm pretty sure I've never regretted anything more, so please don't come for me. With that being said, the 20th winner of "Big Brother" was crowned on September 26, and I would be lying if I said the entire 90-minute finale didn't have me shook.

*SPOILERS AHEAD*

To many, it might have been a surprise when Kaycee landed the five jury votes to crown her the winner. However, if you think about it, she played the best game of the entire season. Yes, even better than Tyler.

From the moment Kaycee, a professional football player, entered the "Big Brother" house, she had a strong social game. She formed relationships with just about every houseguest and gained their genuine trust and loyalty. Yes, Tyler did this too, but he did so in a strategic, manipulative way. He wanted to gain followers who would give him their undivided trust so that he could manipulate all of them into helping his game. He also repeatedly made promises he couldn't keep, which ended up being his biggest downfall. Kaycee, however, formed genuine bonds with people and was fiercely loyal to each and every one of the people in the house without being snakey, secretive, and manipulative.

The reason it might have been such a massive surprise that Kaycee not only won "Big Brother 20" but made it so far in the game, in general, is because she flew under the radar for almost the entire game. At the very beginning of the summer, Kaycee formed her final two alliance with Tyler and her alliance with Level 6. No one, from what viewers saw, ever really suspected anything about her. Every single one of her other alliance members made enemies and got blood on their hands, but Kaycee floated through the game with just her social game until the last six weeks or so.

During the last few weeks of the game, Kaycee ended up winning 9 competitions. One being the Hacker Competition, five being the Power of Veto, and three being the Head of Household (including the two wins in the three-part HOH competition). She proved herself to be a beast at competitions and still managed to get no blood on her hands. In fact, despite winning the POV five times, she never ended up using it. She always let her alliance get the blood on their hands, instead.

It's easy to say that Kaycee was an average player because she floated under the radar for so long and avoided making big moves in the game, but her strategy worked because she let everyone else get blood on their hands. It's ultimately the reason she won the game. Tyler left a bitter taste in the jury's mouth after evicting almost all of them and did a terrible job at explaining himself during the last few moments of the finale. Yes, Tyler played a strong game through his willingness to make major moves and his ability to win so many competitions, but he lacked the loyalty and genuineness that Kaycee possessed.

At the end of the day, Kaycee was always herself and never pretended to be anything but. She remained loyal and genuine to every single houseguest in the game. And that is why she deserved to win the half-million-dollar prize.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
