Throughout the game Drew became a part of the Four Horsemen alliance, and is the only winner that has never been a final nominee on an eviction night. Drew controversially chose to take his alliance member Michael Ellis to the final two over his showmance Diane Henry, but still managed to receive 4 out of 7 Jury votes and was thus crowned the winner.

Trivia
- Drew is the third youngest winner in Big Brother history behind Ian Terry and Eddie McGee.
- Drew, thus far, is the only HouseGuest to compete in every Power of Veto competition throughout a single season. This is mainly due to the old way of choosing POV competitors and many Big Brother 5 HouseGuests seeing Drew as a trustworthy person.
- This does not count seasons 3 or 4, as everyone participated in the veto competition.
- He is the first HouseGuest to win 4 HOH competitions and win the game, followed by Hayden Moss, Rachel Reilly, Ian, and Steve Moses.
- Drew is the second HouseGuest, Alison Irwin being the first, to have never been nominated during eviction night and to make it to the Final Two. However, unlike Alison, Drew won the game.
- He is the first HouseGuest from Ohio.
- Drew was the first male HouseGuest to win the Final HOH.
- Drew pursued an acting career after winning Big Brother 5. He was given a spot on Big Brother All-Stars but declined on advice from his agent.
- On July 2, 2012, Drew was arrested for domestic violence after supposedly attacking another man. Daniel was reportedly unyielding with police, who tasered him and took him to jail.
