Victory in Defeat!
Robert Roman exits house as Peoples Champion
Wins Hearts of BB fans Worldwide!
Robert, the reluctant player, who avoided entering the game only until his daughter encouraged him to go (just days before taping began) was one of the only players in BB history targeted for eviction, by a majority, before he even entered the game!
Before that he had already been saddled with the impossible 18-1 odds against him by Las Vegas odds-makers!
The 'ugly duckling' in the slick young cast of 'Abs and Bikinis', Robert was the man who wore it all on his sleeve - good, bad and ugly!
He was cast and presented to fans as the 'crass and obnoxious' character. His fan popularity was amongst the lowest of any contestants ever.
He was not even 'supposed' to make it past week 2!
Then something began to happen...
He went from a 'typecast' to a truly sincere and fun-loving fan favourite.
Then he went from disaffected longshot to a truly involved player with the triple-threat of the Dream Team. - not by slander and intrigue - but by a little something called loyalty and determination.
A fire ignited and Rob began to not only survive but win.. and not just one or two times but a total of :
various luxury competitions
2 Power of Vetos in a row
One great big Head of Household
Three consecutive America's Choice wins! (A new record in BBusa history!)
It was the final victories as America's Choice though, that reflect the real story of the summer in the BB house..
A recovering alcoholic, Robert kept focused and did not pick up a bottle in what in what amounted to either a summer long backyard hot-tub party or a pressure filled prison of non-stop stress.
Robert didn't even realise that as each day he stayed sober he was inspiring thousands of recovering alcoholics to stay strong and do the same!
On the anniversary of Jee's fathers passing , Robert never left Jee's side and stood in awe and respect for Jee's ceremony till the end.
Robert began to soften his heart with one time foe Erika - in an amazing moment of reconciliation he mended fences with Erika, both forgiving and asking for forgiveness.
Robert was changing (or just revealing his true self) right before out eyes this summer ..and what we saw was a good thing, a darn good thing...
Robert not only became a stronger person but he began sharing that strength to fellow contestants. His heartfelt talks with Jee to stay off the cigarettes (Jee's father having died young of cancer) and even putting out a shoulder to Jun and Alison when they cried.
Robert Roman changed this summer. He became a bigger and better man. A better father. A better human being.
Congratulations Robert Roman - you are the real winner of the summer and will always be remembered as The People Champion of BB4!
