Josephine Winters

## Season History

**Josephine Winters** was a houseguest of *Big Brother 1*.

Josephine was deemed from "early fan favorite" to a highly-controversial houseguest. Weeks later during Week 6, she was at the center of controversy inside and outside of the house due to comments made that were deemed as racist and life-threatening, even being read back some of her comments during her eviction interview. Josephine was also a huge competition threat, winning winning 3 HoH and 2 BotB competitions throughout her time in the game.

She was also known for her showmance with Aiden Levy. On Week 1, she and Aiden started off as "close friends," but soon became early targets from Eliza Pancakes's showmance allegations against them. But she and her showmance partner managed to stay out of everyone's radar after the house shifted against The A Team. Josephine soon formed a secret partnership with Jacob Okumura and somehow dictated the house for the second-half of the season by controlling the HOHs nominations.

However, Josephine and her second closest ally were nominated against one another in during Week 8. When Jacob won the PoV and took himself off the block, Josephine stayed on the block and successfully flipping his vote. When she was nominated again, but this time, against her only ally/showmance Aiden in week 9, she was evicted unanimously during the first half of the second Double Eviction, seeing as the more significant threat of the duo. She placed 6th and was the fourth member of the jury.
