Andrew Theodore "Drew" Daniel is the winner of Big Brother 5 (US).
Drew began the game and quickly became a member of the Four Horsemen alliance. This alliance dominated the game for the first three weeks getting out targets on the other side of the house. However, after the alliance lost power, Drew quickly abandoned the alliance, opting to align with his showmance Diane Henry and his Four Horsemen ally Michael Ellis, even being a key figure in betraying his former ally Jase Wirey. Drew laid low for the next few weeks, allowing Adria Klein and Natalie Carroll to become house targets. Drew faced trouble for the first time at the final five after Nakomis Dedmon nominated him and Michael. However, thanks to the help of his showmance Diane, they were able to both stay safe and evict Karen Ganci. Drew ended up winning the next final Head of Household competition, and in a controversial move, evicted his showmance Diane. Ultimately, Drew became the winner of Big Brother 5 (US), defeating Michael in a 4-3 vote.
