Marissa Winkour may have dominated her fellow celebs in the Celebrity Big Brother house, winning the first season of the CBS reality show, but not all her fans believe she deserved the win.
The Broadway star took home a $250,000 grand prize after defeating her fellow four houseguests who made it to the finale — Omarosa Manigault, Mark McGrath, Ariadna Gutierrez and Ross Mathews.

Omarosa was evicted in the first hour. In the second, Winkour won the second Head of Household contest, giving her the authority to evict Gutierrez and McGrath on the spot.
This left Winkour and Mathews as the potential winners. The jury, made up of the already evicted houseguests ended up voting the Hairspray star as the winner, although Mathews was coined America’s Favorite Houseguest.
Many fans thought Winkour didn’t deserve her title, however.

I don’t hate @MarissaJWinokur but come on. She admitted to riding @helloross coattails to the end. Jury not bitter towards her not bc she “played an honest game” but bc she didn’t play the game! #CelebrityBigBrother
