Samantha Adamson

 is the winner of Big Brother 1.

Samantha was one of the biggest underdogs in her season, which made her a fan-favorite near the second half of the season to win. Samantha started the game quiet, bonding with Carla Hamelton and Omid Brunson. Because of her quiet game, Samantha was nominated on multiple occasions as a pawn. She was a pawn in a backdoor plan against Sam Harris in Week 2, and was a pawn against her ally Carla in Week 3. Samantha survived both evictions, and ended up winning the Double Eviction PoV in Week 4. Samantha managed to escape the Pre-Jury unscathed, but it didn't end without getting blood on her hands. Samantha ended up making one of the biggest moves of the season by flipping the vote against Christine McGraw, evicting her and aligning herself with her former rival Robin Hale. This made her position in the game stronger, but also led to the other side of the house to target her on multiple occasions. She was nominated by Thomas Lockwood as a Post-POV nominee after Avery Cornell got in his ear. This led to her targeting Avery on her first HoH reign, and Samantha was successful. Samantha was then nominated by Cris Peters as a pawn, which angered her, but she yet again survived. Samantha then won her second HoH, but was shockingly dethroned by Juliet Darnell when she used her HoH Recast Power. Samantha was immune for the rest of the week, but when another Double Eviction was announced, she won the following HoH, being the first person to win back-to-back HoHs due to a twist. She evicted Juliet, making it to the Final Four. Despite being nominated yet again at the Final Four, she once again survived when her number one ally, Omid, saved her. Samantha won the Final HoH and took Omid with her to the Final Two. The jury ended up respecting Samantha's willingness to adapt to any situation, being nominated more than any houseguest in the season, and always kept her cool. She won with a vote of 6-3, being the first ever winner of Big Brother.
