It's been 82 days of some of the most controversial and divisive gameplay in recent memory, but Season 24 has finally crowned a new champion.Sunday's two-hour finale all came down to the final three houseguests — who, coincidentally, were also all members of the defunct Leftovers Alliance, which ruled the house for several weeks before falling apart in dramatic fashion during the Split House Twist midway through the season.The whole season came down to Taylor Hale, Matthew «Turner» Turner, and Monte Taylor.
