Despite never winning a Head of Household competition and being nominated for eviction four times during Big Brother 2, Dr. Kirby's strategy of deceit with a Machiavellian flair prevailed and he won the show's $500,000 US top prize by a 5-2 jury vote of evicted contestants. Will was referred to as 'The Puppetmaster,' for his skill in manipulating the house guests and the game of Big Brother.

On July 3, 2006, producers chose Dr. Kirby to re-enter the Big Brother house to take part in Big Brother 7: All-Stars, CBS's All-Star edition of the long-running reality show. Dr. Kirby and fellow Chill Town alliance member, Mike 'Boogie' Malin duped most of the house guests and survived all the way to the final four. Despite having the most brazen alliance in Big Brother history, Chill Town still worked "secret ninja style" and was able to lure the other house guests into a false sense of safety while simultaneously convincing them to evict their own close friends and alliance members. Dr. Kirby was eventually evicted on September 5, 2006, and he joined the seven member jury. His alliance partner, Mike Malin went on to win the top prize.
