And her graduation gift is $500,000!!!
That's right, our girl from Matthews went all the way, winning Big Brother 11. (She said spending time in the Big Brother house without her family made her feel like a grown-up.)
She beat Kevin in the final part of the HOH competition, then ousted him from the house. (She felt awful!)
And then, in the final vote, she won 5 to 2 with Jessie, Lydia, Michele, Jeff and America giving her their votes.
Biggest Loser (8pm, NBC) - Tonight is the season premiere and three of the sixteen folks on the show are from NC (Antoine Dove, Daniel Wright, and Tracey Yukich). They'll be working to lose weight and get back on the healthy track, and we'll be recapping the show, so check back with us tomorrow!
Big Brother 11 (9pm, CBS) - It's finally over! Jordan Lloyd (right) and Kevin compete for HoH and the winner gets to evict one person from the house. Then jury members question the final two and select a winner. Of course we're hoping Jordan, from Matthews, N.C., wins it all, but even if she doesn't, she's done amazingly well. Good job, Jordan.
Shaq Vs. (9pm, ABC) - Shaq takes on Olympic swimming machine Michael Phelps. Phelps will be heavily handicapped to give Shaq a prayer.
The Jay Leno Show (10pm, NBC) - Jay has Michael Moore, Tom Cruise, and Cameron Diaz.
Flipping Out (10pm, Bravo) - Jeff falls ill and accuses Zoila of poisoning him, so Jenni has to take over for him on job sites.
And it kicked in just when she needed it!
She lost the rolling log HOH part one contest, after Kevin told her to shake to stay warm (in the rain, wind, and snow), believing that it would distract her and get her off her game.
It worked and Jordan promptly fell off the log.
It seems possible.
With this live show, the houseguests have been in the house 66 days, and our girl Jordan has made it to the final four. And my summer has slipped away in a Big Brother haze.
Really, how many of you on day 10, 12, 25, even 50 thought that she would be this close?
Honestly, I thought I'd be done blogging about her adventures by now. But our girl Jordan has become the cockroach of my TV life. She's done Matthews proud.

That became clear during the luxury competition.
The 4 remaining houseguests had to split up in teams of two, and in separate rooms find matching articles of clothing -- aiding each other by shouting through the wall -- put said clothes on, and then pose in the 'store' window.
Jordan's signature pose: Stunned statue. She did the same, stand ram-rod straight, look dazed pose each time.
Bless her heart.
That's the only thing our girl Jordan and Jeff had to look forward to on this, THE DAY THEY NEVER WANTED TO SEE HAPPEN.
Knowing they'd both be on the block, Jeff promised that if he went, he'd give Jordan a dramatic kiss by the door.
They even practiced. In bed. Jeff suggested a nasty kiss but Jordan didn't think that was appropriate for a live show.
Big Brother (8pm, CBS) - We could be singing "Happy Trails" to Matthews, N.C.'s own Jordan Lloyd tonight. She's up for eviction and things are looking dicey for her. Tune in tonight to see how America votes.
Ace of Cakes (10pm, TLC) - A bride and groom both order surprise cakes for each other on the day of their wedding rehearsal. It's a win-win for rehearsal guests. Also, Elena makes a cake shaped like a human torso for a medical grad student.
Real Housewives of Atlanta (10pm, Bravo) - Kim gets a new nanny, hopefully one who won't tell Kim's children that they are going to hell. Then she tries to make amends with Lisa (next up - peace in the Middle East). NeNe goes full diva directing a RHoA photo shoot, and Kandi cancels her engagement party because of a family tragedy (please don't be Uncle Bebow!).
That was our girl's excuse for her dismal performance during the POV contest.
Donned in space suits, the houseguests had to identify six merged faces of two houseguests in the shortest time possible to win POV and a Visio home entertainment system.
In the end, Jordan came in dead last, finishing in 5 minutes and 9 seconds.
Jeff didn't do so hot either at 3:01, but he's carried Jordan all along and in his time of need, she wanted to make him proud.
At least if you look at the results of Kevin's little game.
Kevin asked Jeff a series of questions about the type of women he's attracted to.
The list:
1. likes chicks in sweat pants with hair pulled back because if you can look pretty dressed that way, you are pretty.
2. prefers brunettes.
Dem's fighting words!
Our girl sweet Jordan went off when Russell, who was trying to mess with Jeff, got into it with Jordan, who sought to defend her man.
This confrontation followed an earlier shouting match in which Russell said that Jeff let his girlfriend fight his battles.
But in the second event, Russell was a bit more desperate to save himself from eviction, so he got more provocative. He called Jordan fat and said she should go eat cookie dough. It was on like popcorn.
