Da'Shon Lott

**Da'Shon Lott** is the winner of *Big Brother 1 (US)*.

In Week 1, Da'Shon started off joining the dominant Royals alliance, which led him being an almost comfortable position throughout the first half of the season, despite being Brian Monty's primary target. However, when former ally Ramani Copperman exposed his alliance's tracks and bases, it caused him, along with his allies, being on the outs. With the Revolutionaries alliance dominating the following weeks, Da'Shon was nominated in three consecutive rounds but managed to survive, despite helplessly watching his remaining allies getting evicted.

Despite being in the minority, his savvy social game, along his growing showmance with Carly Villanueva, successfully persuaded into flipping the votes to evict Callum Scott. During Weeks 11 & 12, Da'Shon regained power as he won the final Power of Veto to annihilate the strategic prowess Carly (with his sole vote), and final Head of Household to take his former ally Ramani instead. His sharp-witted persuasion and the jury's distaste towards Ramani's poor jury management won him the game in a 6-3 vote, thus declaring Da'Shon as the first ever winner of the series.

### I Love Money

* Da'Shon competed on *I Love Money 1* alongside Annetta Landrum, Brittani Lyles, Brooklyn Clifford, Kole Kabirii, Macey Lincoln, and Pedro Pérez. Da'Shon was a very relaxed player in the game, rarely getting himself involved with any drama this season, he managed to make close ties with now partner Dwayne Jackson, and also friendships with Daniello Camb, and Danielle Sato. Despite starting off the game in a rough spot being sent into the second tribunal challenge which he ended up surviving, Da'Shon managed to help sail through the competition with his team winning 4 back to back challenges, allowing him to move forward, up until the purge and the team switch happened. Da'Shon's downfall came when he volunteered as Team Captain at the Top 12, and his team lost automatically sending him into elimination, alongside volunteered nominee's Malika Evanns, and Dwayne Jackson. Unfortunately for Da'Shon, despite his efforts, due to his lack of connection as well as being a winner from a different show, winning captain Pedro knew it was best to take out a big threat. He was eliminated from the competition, placing him in 12th overall. (Retrieved from the *I Love Money* wiki)
