Gina has finished Big Brother in third place!
8 mins ago
After 68 days, an array of hotpants later and the introduction of 'redonkolous' to the Oxford Dictionary (okay, maybe not the last bit), Gina has entered the BB alumni, coming a respectable XXXX place/ has been crowned your winner!

Things didn't start out too well for Gina, who got into a little bit of a verbal fracas with Sallie on her very first night. It was a rivalry that was as short-lived as it was unexpected, as they soon became mates, but this was to be the first of many dramas for our girl about town. She definitely lived to stir things up in the House, exchanging heated words with many of the ladies during her nine week stint.

There was more drama in Week 3, when she exited the House to rapturous applause. But to her delight it was a fake eviction, and she entered the Safe House with Dexter, to spy upon their unaware housemates. Armed with a stash of dirt, it's not surprising that their re-entry to the House caused a bit of a stir. Her relationship with Hazel in particular broke down, with the pair eventually coming to a head during the Queen Bee task. Suffice to say, she wasn't sad to see her rival leave on Day 58.

But it hasn't been all squabbles for our Gina, who's provided many a comedic moment with her unique take on the world, such as the moment she found out trains run to Manchester. Who'da thunk it, eh? And let's take moment to appreciate her wardrobe - this girl cannot do dress down and we love her for it.

Gina entered the House a self-proclaimed high maintenance lady, but during her incarceration she has come to wash dishes, share her designer gear and bury the hatchet on more than one disagreement. It's been an emotional journey, for sure, and we'll always remember her for her anecdotes and the touch of glamour that she brought to the House.

Gina Rio, you've been a blast. We look forward to seeing what you have in store for the future.
