Melrose: It was great to make it to the final two, and it was even better to finish second in a way, because now I have the freedom to do whatever I want. I'm a winner to my family and friends and to everybody in my life who knows, loves and supports me. So I couldn't have come out of this better. I'm grateful for everything that has happened to me, and I have no ill feelings toward anybody in the house. I even wish CariDee nothing but the best!
Melrose: I'm not going to say that I competed better than CariDee because that is not my place to say, but to my friends and my family I am the winner. For me that's enough.
