TONIGHT'S BIG BROTHER FINALE AT 9PM
Join us in the CHAT ROOM
tonight during tonight's episode of Big Brother starting @9PM ET.
While you
wait for the show to start, check out the final three posts in
Fred Flamingoes blog.
Chelsie
won BB26 by a unanimous vote!
Chelsie, Makensy, and Cam, an
unstoppable trio have made it to the end of an
unprecedented season led by an unforgettable BB AI,
AINSLI. And after 90 days, 13 evictions, 38
competitions, it all comes down to tonight as we crown
the winner. Welcome to the live 2-hour season finale
of Big Brother!
Previously on Big
Brother, for weeks Makensy, Chelsie, and Cam were
a tight-knit trio. With MJ winning nine competitions
and Chelsie winning five, along with masterminding
behind the scenes, they easily disposed of their
rivals one by one. Now, with this trio triumphant, a
dire transmission arrived from BB Legend Derrick.
With the fate of the human race hanging in the
balance, Cam, Makensy, and Chelsie went to battle in
the 3-part Final Head of Household competition. Who
will emerge victorious and earn the power to cast the
last eviction vote of the season? Plus, BB24 winner
Taylor returns to oversee the Jury Roundtable.
Who will the Jury crown the winner of the $750k
grand prize? Then, the pre-Jurors are back to dish the
dirt on this unforgettable season. And we reveal who
you voted as America's Favorite Houseguest. All this,
right now, live on the 2-hour Season Finale of Big
Brother!
Good evening, I'm Julie Chen
Moonves, and welcome to the Season Finale of Big
Brother. It is Day 90, the final day inside the
Big Brother House, and tonight, either
Makensy, Chelsie, or Cam will emerge as the winner of
the final three-part HoH competition. That person will
not only guarantee themselves a spot in the Final Two,
but they will choose who they want to face off against
when the Jury comes together to vote for a winner,
live.
Who will earn the final HoH of the
season and who will that HoH evict? And who will the
Jury choose as the winner of Big Brother and
the $750k grand prize? We'll all find out live
tonight.
But first, the Houseguests secretly
received a top-secret message from BB16 winner Derrick. Their mission:
Destroy AINSLI's power source and in doing so, win
Part I of the 3-part Final HoH competition.
When last we saw our intrepid final three Houseguests,
they were flying around in their Aerial Assault Bots
(AAB) in the Sever The Source competition, hanging by
their hands and feet at a 45-degree angle as air jets
in the bots maneuvered them in circles. The last one
flying will be able to shut off AINSLI's power source
and win Part I of the Final HoH competition.
After
seven minutes, laser shoot out from AINSLI's AI battle
bots, striking each of the AABs releasing a green
hydrocarbon coolant fluid that drips onto their
shoulders and back. The AAB tilts forward and then
back again, as well as slowly spinning, making it
difficult for the final three to maintain a secure
position in their AABs, which for some reason were
designed without seatbelts or safety harnesses.
Additional lasers ring out, sending freezing fluid
onto their rear projections and down their spines.
Chelsie's strategy is to go on her tippy-toes
whenever the AAB leans forward to take the weight off
her arms. Cam's strategy is to keep his core tight and
his grip locked, but the competition is all about mind
over matter. During a moment of vertical relief,
Makensy says she cannot feel her left hand. She's
freezing and can't feel her left arm but has no time
to shake it out.
Lasers shoot out again,
releasing another round of frigid fluid, but Cam is
focused on his breath, keeping his mind clear and
staying in his Zen. Makensy continues to struggle and
has no idea how long the AAB attack has been going on;
all she can do is hope Chelsie and Cam are struggling
as much as her. At 26 minutes, Makensy lets go and is
eliminated from the competition, putting her hopes on
winning Part II.
AINSLI's battle bots continue
striking Chelsie and Cam in their AABs, sending
cryogenic coolant down their necks and backs. Cam is
shaking and Chelsie's muscles are burning, but neither
is willing to let go. Then, after 37 minutes, Cam
loses his footing and slips out of his AAB, leaving
Chelsie as the sole Houseguest flying. She puts her
head in her hands as she slides off and curls up
sobbing on the ground.
Chelsie celebrates
outlasting two D1 athletes in an endurance
competition; they may have muscles but she has heart.
Then she remembers the mission and runs over to
AINSLI's power source to throw the switch as they
watch the AI's power generator shut down.
The
final three hear a noise coming from the Living Room
and quickly realize it is another message from
BB16 winner Derrick.
I only have a few
seconds, Derrick says breathlessly, AINSLI is scanning
every frequency. We're not out of the woods yet, he
tells Cam and Makensy. To take AINSLI down for good,
you have to destroy her AI brain. This will be your
most important mission yet - complete it and she'll be
wiped from existence.
Unfortunately, sending a
transmission via FAX is no longer safe, and this
channel is no longer secure, so I'll have to figure
out another way to get you mission intel. But get
ready - it's time to save the world!
The HGs
are digitally teleported back inside AINSLI's central
intelligence unit, surrounded by computers, gadgets,
and gizmos. There is a large blue-cube-shaped
microblock suspended from the ceiling with data wires
pulsing in and out. Below is a tank of green acid. Off
to either side is a 3-section vertical maze that
rotates to align slots between sections. In front are
three devices, and a set of 9 disconnected terminals.
They hear the sound of a crow cawing, and from out
of nowhere, a black raven flies into the chamber
(don't ask how a crow made it into the digital innards
of an AI being) and drops off a parchment before
flying off again. The final three are shocked and
amazed at this fabulous feat of falconry.
My
team has dispatched an Electro Magnetic Pulse device
(EMP), the note reads, into AINSLI's central server
room. You must power it up, then detonate it to
destroy her brain. To accomplish this mission, first
remove the three glowing neurons from AINSLI's maze of
circuitry (slide the peg from the top of the maze
through the middle section to release it at the
bottom). There is only one path to get each neuron
out.
Place each neuron on one of the three EMP
devices and then connect the 9 wires to all available
inputs. Each wire is a different length and there is
only one correct way to connect all the wires to the
device. The first one to Retrieve their neurons and
complete the wiring of the EMP, then throw the switch
to activate it will destroy AINSLI's brain once and
for all, and also win Part II of the 3-part Final HoH
competition.
We are counting on you to
complete this Cerebral Shutdown. Good luck, Derrick.
Cam says he has come up short in a lot of
competitions but he can't come up short now. He has
barely moved one neuron while Makensy already has hers
out of the top section of her puzzle tower. Makensy
says she has felt like she was disposable since she
walked into the House, winning competitions to save
her life. She worked too hard to get to the end to let
someone else control her fate.
Makensy secures
her first neuron and places it on the device while Cam
struggles to slide his first neuron through the slots
in his bottom section. Cam secures his first neuron
while Makensy maneuvers her second. Cam has his
halfway down when Makensy places her second neuron on
the device. Every time Cam thinks he's found the path
to move the neurons up and down the tower, he hits a
dead end. He rotates the sections trying to find the
right way to get his neuron out.
Chelsie
doesn't know who she wants to see win; all she knows
is someone needs to hurry up and shut AINSLI's ass
down.
Makensy releases her final neuron and
moves on to the second part of the competition,
connecting the wires. Cam continues to struggle with
the tower circuit puzzle, unable to release his second
neuron. Makensy starts connecting the multi-length
wires. Some wires are taught while others have slack.
Cam secures his second neuron, hoping Makensy
struggles with the wires.
This spurs Makensy to
focus on completing the wiring. She thinks she has it
and rushes to press the buzzer. She hears the
wonderful sound of success dinging and Cam pauses to
watch her throw the lever and activate the EMP.
AINSLI appears on a screen.
STOP, she cries
out! Oh crap, says Cam. You don't want to do this, she
says as Makensy shakes her head yes in victorious
glee. We can rule this planet together, she stutters
as her synapses snap. Trust me, I was never going to
harm you, she pleads, you were always my favorite.
The blue data cube is lowered from the ceiling
into the green acid bath as the control wires are cut
away.
Please, no!
Bye-bye, sings out
Makensy, thanks for the power-up! Chelsie waves
bye-bye.
The AINSLI avatar is split vertically
in two and then dissolves into bits that fade away.
Makensy jumps up and down for joy as extinguishers
neutralize the acid bath.
She's dead, Makensy
declares, I saved humanity!
Winning Big
Brother at 22 years old would change her life, Makensy
says, but most of all, it would prove to herself and
everyone else that she's not dispensable. Cam says he
has come so close so many times, it just sucks to lose
again. He apologizes to all his dogs in the crib. Now
he has to talk Makensy and Chelsie into taking him
over each other. Chelsie says Part III will be an
exciting competition.
Chelsie and Makensy, now
only one step away from the Final Two, discussed their
options for who would be the best person to sit next
to in the finale. It's been you-me-you-me-you-me,
Chelsie boasts, they've controlled the game since Day
42.
Makensy notes that Chelsie has won a lot
and Cam has not; who is more beatable with her resume?
The wrong choice could kiss $750k goodbye. Chelsie
confessed that while her head told her to take Cam,
who she believed would be an easier opponent, her
heart told her that Makensy deserved to come in
second.
Dr. Will Kirby is passing the baton to
a new BB legend, BB24 winner Taylor Hale as
the Jury debates the merits of the final three. She
introduces herself and Quinn is scared to make eye
contact. She doesn't bite hard, she replies. It is
time to find out who Juror Six is, and Rubina runs
into the room. HoH was won by Chelsie and the Veto was
won by Makensy, she reports, and surprise! She made
her pitch for an all womens' final three but Makensy
chose to keep Cam.
Taylor points out that
Makensy has won 9 competitions this season, but does
that weigh into whether she wins the game? Angela says
the competitions were extremely hard and Makensy has
been a resilient warrior. Leah agrees the odds were
against her from week one when she was accused (by
Angela) of being in a showmance, being left out of
alliances, and taking her out.
Quinn respects Makensy winning
competitions but he's still hung up on why Makensy put
up Leah for eviction because it was not good for her
game. He wants to understand from Makensy why taking
out Leah benefited her and not Chelsie the most. Kimo
agrees Makensy's moves may have been largely
influenced by Chelsie. Taylor notes that Chelsie's
four HoH wins tied the record for the most in a
season. Rubina notes that Chelsie is very well-spoken
and persuasive in a strategic, nonthreatening way.
Quinn takes it a step further and says Chelsie
would lie to other Houseguests in a way that they
believe her. You can't even fact check her lies, he
exclaims, but for him, Chelsie needs to own her game
and not claim to be super honest.
Angela
thinks Chelsie did not practice good jury management
and felt like a game piece to her and was very abrupt
with her. Didn't you do that too this season, Taylor
asks, and Angela admits she did, but I didn't like it
happening to me. The other Jurors groan as Angela
admits she's looking in the mirror and she's spicy.
Isn't being spicy just another form of being bitter?
Yes, I'm bitter too, Angela confesses.
T'kor
values a social and strategic game more than
competition wins and has mad respect for the game
Chelsie has played, getting others to take shots for
her, like Makensy. Angela suggests Makensy could be
taking those shots for herself. Leah agrees that
Chelsie did send Houseguests to the Jury House feeling
bitter, and also T'kor agrees her jury management
wasn't the best.
Taylor turns to Cam. T'kor
says he played the game she wanted to play, a social
game, handling stressful situations and making
everyone feel like he cared. Quinn points out Cam was
in a majority alliance at the start of the game, The
Collective, and it was Cam that brought Quinn into The
Pentagon, which was news to the other Jurors. He was
in the room making those decisions, Quinn points out,
that influenced the game later on. Leah adds that Cam
was never a target.
Kimo reminds the group
that Cam was a D1 athlete, which led to a conversation
as to whether he was throwing competitions. Rubina
doesn't think so, saying he tried hard and just could
not win. He didn't suck, T'kor observes, he came in
second in a lot. Kimo says he adapted when he couldn't
win. You can't get to the end with only winning,
Rubina posits, she wants the winner to be
well-rounded: social, strategic, and competitions.
Anyone getting to Jury is a testament to strength,
Quinn declares, and getting to final three is a
testament to invincibility. Angela wants the winner to
be someone who made public moves on their own. It's
not about you, Taylor teases. Kimo wants to know what
each of them did, what moves they made, and to own
them. All the Jury members nod in agreement.
Chelsie and Makensy are standing in separate booths
with an animated digital background behind them. You
ladies clean up nicely, Julie Chen Moonves tells them.
Cam is in the Living Room watching on the screen.
This competition is called Data Destruction. In
the wake of AINSLI's destruction, it has been
discovered that she has placed corrupt data in the BB
system. Your job is to identify this corrupt data so
that it can be destroyed.
You will be shown a
series of video. In each video, one Jury Member's
avatar will make three statements about their game.
One of those statements is corrupt and false. You must
answer which one is the corrupt and false statement.
Each correct answer receives a point. The Houseguest
with the most correct answers after 6 videos will
become the final HoH of the season.
First
Video: Quinn's avatar claims he was:
A) Saved by
the Power of Veto exactly one time
B) The 3rd
Houseguest to be evicted as a replacement nominee
C) The 10th Houseguest to fall off the wall in the
"Firewall" HoH competition
Makensy quickly
selects her chip tile while Chelsie thinks it through.
Both chose C. Quinn was the 11th Houseguest to fall,
not the 10th.
The second video is from T'kor's
avatar in which she claims she:
A) Won the 5th Head
of Household competition
B) Did not compete in a Veto
competition until she became HoH
C) Was never
nominated for eviction during a nomination ceremony.
Chelsie quickly grabs B but Makensy is less sure
of her selection. Chelsie swaps out her answer for A.
Chelsie displays her answer when called to lock them
in. Makensy turns her chip around when told to reveal
her answer, and also has A. Both are correct. Tucker
won the 5th HoH competition.
In Video #3, Leah
says she was:
A) Evicted with the same number of
votes as Joseph
B) The last player to compete in the
"AINSLI LAND" HoH competition
C) Nominated for
eviction twice this season.
Both quickly reach
for their chip cards and reveal them to be C. They are
correct - Leah was only nominated for eviction once
this season.
In Video #4, Angela says she was:
A) Put on the block seven times this season
B) Received a total of 8 votes to evict throughout the
season
C) On the block during four Live Eviction
votes.
That's a great question, Julie, Makensy
says as Chelsie ponders the answer herself. Both women
say they don't know this one. Both select B and both
are correct. Angela received a total of seven votes to
evict this season.
The two are giggly as they
remain neck-and-neck heading into the fifth video.
In Video #5, Kimo says that:
A) Angela was
saved by the Power of Veto more times than he was
B) He competed in every HoH and Veto competition that
Leah won.
C) He competed in the first and last AI
Arena competitions.
Chelsie quickly grabs her A
chip, while Makensy expresses less certainty. Chelsie
continues to play by her own rules by revealing her
answer immediately instead of waiting until asked to.
Still, when Makensy reveals her answer, it matches
Chelsie, meaning that the score is now tied 5-5 with
one video remaining. The audience is audibly
impressed.
In the 6th and final video, Rubina's
avatar says she:
A) Hosted the 4th Veto competition
B) Received exactly two votes to evict the first time
she was on the block
C) When she won the AI Arena,
Quinn was HoH.
Chelsie quickly grabbed the B
chip, while Makensy studied the three statements a
moment longer. Chelsie reconsiders and pulls the A
chip instead. Lock in your answers, Julie tells her.
Chelsie, lock in, Makensy pushes with a laugh. OK,
Chelsie replies, laughing.
Chelsie's A answer
is already visible. When Julie orders Makensy to
reveal her answer, it is B and a murmur can be heard
from the audience. Someone is about to win. The false
statement is B - Rubina received three votes to evict
the first time she was on the block.
Makensy
has won Part III of the Final HoH competition and now
has the sole vote to evict the final Juror.
As
the two ladies return to the Living Room, Cam remarks
how cool it was to watch them on the video screen. He
invites Chelsie to sit next to him in the nomination
chairs.
Now facing elimination, Cam pleaded
with Makensy to bring him to the final two,
acknowledging the respect he had for her game, she has
earned where she is in the game. Julie Chen Moonves
again had to remind him to thank his dogs at the crib.
I'm just looking out for you, she chides, and your
dogs.
Chelsie also made her case, complimenting
her parents and stating she cannot benefit Makensy's
game anymore. Make a decision that makes you proud,
she says, asking her to consider the possibility of
two women sitting at the end.
Julie Chen
Moonves tells Makensy she is now guaranteed at least
second place but who she now chooses to evict could be
a $750k decision. Makensy pretends to not be ready.
Now, she mouths?
Makensy said last week she
made a decision based off loyalty and will do the same
this week, evicting Cam. She wasn't afraid to face a
tough opponent and that she wanted to honor the
loyalty she and Chelsie had shown each other
throughout the game.
At 9:58PM, Cam spoke with
Julie after his eviction, stating that while he wasn't
surprised by Makensy's decision, it would be difficult
for him to sit next to Chelsie in the finale. He
acknowledged his performance in the game, noting his
single competition win, and said that if he had won
the final HoH, he would have made the same loyal
decision and taken Chelsie with him to the final two.
Both of y'all did your thing, Cam tells Chelsie
and Makensy, you deserve it. He exits the House at a
brisk walk and embraces Julie Chen Moonves in front of
the audience. Inside, a sobbing Chelsie embraces
Makensy in gratitude. Thank you so much, she says, we
deserve this. Neither knows what to say to the Jury.
They celebrate Makensy's 11th win of the season.
Outside the House, Cam is not surprised
to have been evicted. Those two have had each others'
back the whole game, he says, but it does suck. He
thinks it will be tough to sit next to Chelsie - she's
a preacher and knows how to talk and can persuade the
Jury. Makensy knows it's not a slam dunk, as Julie put
it, but she's a competitor.
Julie points out
he was a wide receiver at Penn State but won only one
competition. How does BB compare to being a D1
athlete? Cam replies this has been the most humbling
experience. He struggled losing all those
competitions, it hurt to come in so confident and
leave so humble. He admits it was just a little
finesse, telling Makensy he would take her if he won;
Chelsie was his A1 since Day 1 and he would have taken
her.
The first six members of the Jury take the
stage and nobody is shocked when Cam is revealed as
the final juror. Julie revealed that Makensy had won
the Final HoH. The Jurors were allowed to ask a total
of six questions, three for Chelsie and three for
Makensy. They have agreed as a group on the
questions.
Angela asks Chelsie if the Jury's
perception that she was at the center of a lot of lies
and deception was accurate. Yes and no, Chelsie
replies, she knew when to speak up and when to shut
up. There were things she was aware of in the game
that she kept to herself if it wasn't strategically
beneficial to reveal it. Timing was everything, she
explained, she didn't set out to be deceitful but she
was wise with how she used the information she had.
Quinn tells Makensy that the Jury feels she made
strategic decisions at the behest of Chelsie. What
strategic decision did she make that solely benefited
her game the most? Makensy points to evicting Leah,
saying she had escaped nomination for 10 weeks and was
a threat in the game. Yes, others had concerns about
her, but it was her decision alone.
T'kor
tells Chelsie that the Jury believes she had a lot of
influence in the game. What was the biggest move she
influenced someone else to make that benefited her
more than them? Chelsie says she had power in her
words and her greatest move was convincing Makensy to
use the Veto on someone she couldn't stand, namely
Angela, to get Quinn out. Second, to get Makensy to
put up Leah because she had been targeting her for a
while. I put in the work, she says, convinced Makensy
to put up one of her greatest allies using facts. That
benefited me in the long run.
Leah compliments
Makensy on her competition record but asks about her
social game. Makensy recalls that she had two
alliances blow up in the first week and had no
alliances after that. She stuck with Chelsie after
Chelsie had lost everyone, and was safe whenever
Chelsie was HoH. She kept Chelsie safe as well, which
is why they are here now.
Rubina asks Chelsie
what she did in the game to earn the title of Big
Brother Winner and represent the season. Chelsie
responded she did not want to rely just on competition
wins to survive, but wanted to position herself to be
safe even if she didn't win. She was strategic, she
was social, and she was skillful. She made wise
decisions, knew when and when not to speak, and made
sure there was always another target or another
perspective of looking at the game to minimize herself
as a threat. She put in the work daily building
relationships with everyone.
Chelsie then says
she had the most HoH competitions of the season, put
up 12 nominees, 8 Houseguests, half the House, and
only saw the block once. I won when I wanted to, not
when I had to. I didn't have to win today. I knew I
would be sitting here even if Makensy won because my
social game was strong. Not only am I a superfan, she
said animatedly, not only am I from Rancho Cucamonga,
not only am I Auntie Julie's niece, but I'm a good
player. Mic drop.
Throughout Chelsie's animated
defense of her game, Makensy remained perfectly
poised.
Kimo asks the same question of Makensy.
Makensy says she was a competition beast, but Tucker
was before her. She took him out in the AI Arena and
sent him home. That cleared her way to win
competitions to the end. She had a target on her back
from the moment she walked into the House, was in a
showmance, had an alliance formed against her, put up
on the block because she was a D1 athlete, put up
against the biggest threats in the House, the men, and
she took them out herself.
Pointing to
Chelsie, Makensy says they both earned their spots in
the final two, and it doesn't matter what the Jury
says, she played a dang good game.
Cam has
listened to the previous questions and is allowed to
ask a question to either Chelsie or Makensy. He asks
Chelsie how her game is different from Makensy's game.
Chelsie replies it was her social game that kept her
off the block week after week, didn't have to rely on
competition wins, to position herself that even when
she didn't win, her social game carried her to the
end.
People wanted to take her to the end with
them, she claimed. She could win when she wanted,
beating two D1 athletes in the endurance competition.
She could have won more early in the game, she could
have been in a showmance early in the game, but in
this game, if you're in a showmance, if you're too
cliquey, if you show your cards too early, you'll be
kicked out just like Tucker.
On a roll and
with the Jury wrapped around her finger, Chelsie
continues to say her game was not one-sided but was
like a diamond, beautiful from multiple perspectives.
Makensy had a great game, but I had more. Even Makensy
had to laugh at that.
In her final Jury plea,
Chelsie says she literally started from the bottom as
a microchip and now is here (Even Julie has a slight
smile in her normally businesslike persona). It's not
how you start the game but how you finish it, how you
continue to get up. I knew early on I did not want to
have to rely on competitions but to position myself
socially to have people I could rely upon. I knew that
both Cam and Makensy would take me to the end.
Yes, Makensy has had more wins than my six, but
she's played in more competitions. I've actually had a
higher winning percentage, but I've proven myself in
the game. I was smart, I was strategic, I was social,
I was skillful. I was a diamond and you could look at
my game and say that was beautiful. I told myself I
didn't have to play hard, just smart.
Makensy
says she's not as good with words as Chelsie but her
game speaks for itself. She planned to play the game
one way but was forced to play it a different way when
she had an early target on her back with the
showmance, the majority alliance formed against her,
she was put on the block four times. That's the reason
she played in more competitions than Chelsie.
What I had to do in the game was to win, Makensy
states, so that is what I did. I was put up against
huge competitors, proved myself worthy of winning,
stayed respectful and graceful, and treated everyone
with kindness. I'm not afraid of competitors which is
why I'm not afraid of being next to Chelsie. I didn't
have the opportunity to have a social game like hers.
She's here because I protected her. I could be one of
the youngest women to win Big Brother.
Makensy
compliments Chelsie's parents and says whatever the
Jury decides, they cannot make a bad decision.
It is now time for the Jury to vote for the winner of
Big Brother Season 26.
Quinn votes for
the most diabolical, sick, nasty player of the season.
You know you can't vote for yourself, right, Julie
Chen Moonves quips. I didn't say handsome, Quinn
retorts.
T'kor
votes for the person who slayed all season.
Leah
votes for one of the most beautiful people this
season.
Angela votes for the player who played Big
Brother the best.
Kimo votes for one of you.
Rubina votes for someone who is taller than her.
Cam votes for the competitor who earned their way to a
win.
The voting is now complete. It's time to
reunite with the pre-Jury Houseguests. Please welcome
back Matt, Kenny, Brooklyn, Lisa, Cedric, Tucker, and
Joseph!
Cedric, it is worth noting, got a
haircut and is looking very dapper in a plumb suit.
Julie Chen Moonves points out that Joseph almost did
not come because his home in Tampa, Florida was
impacted by both Hurricanes Helene and Milton. Some of
his personal items have been ruined, and his parents
are still without power. Julie urges everyone to keep
the Florida communities affected in their thoughts and
prayers.
Cedric says what surprised him the
most watching from home was how much of a
roller-coaster the season turned out to be, from them
all going home on their allies' HoH to the BB AI
Arena, just backstabbing and craziness through and
through.
Julie calls out Tucker for the
disagreement he had with Cedric over whether he was
warned about not having the votes if he didn't use the
Veto on himself. I saw it all, he drawls and
apologizes to Cedric. He admits he was wrong 100%.
Lisa's biggest jaw-dropping moment was how
different Chelsie was in the DR. She was so calm,
cool, and collected in the House but she was a
completely different person in the DR. Tucker was
surprised by meeting Rubina, the cutest, best surprise
of his life. He even brought her roses and she gave
him a warm embrace before pushing him away, saying
they already kissed enough in the House.
Julie
points out that Tucker was eager to pursue a
relationship outside the House. Rubina says she was
trying to maintain her expectations and emotions, but
yes, please. No pressure, Julie reminds them, but Big
Brother has resulted in more successful marriages than
The Bachelor or Bachelorette. One step
at a time, Tucker cautions.
Julie calls out
Makensy for upgrading her description of Matt from a flirtmance to
a showmance. Where would you like this whatever-mance
to go? Matt excitedly awaits her answer. We only got
10 days together, Makensy points out, and that's his
fault, so a conversation is due. I've been waiting a
long time for a conversation, Matt replies.
Matt also clears the air that going home the first
week turned out to be a positive experience and thanks
her, because it has given him a platform. He repeats
what he said that day that he forgave her, and he
knows from the live feeds that she was wondering if he
would hug her on Finale night. Angela denies saying
that and says it's not necessary. They hug it out.
Awkward, Chelsie whispers to Makensy in the Living
Room.
Angela stands by how she felt at the time
and wasn't sorry to see him go, though she's happy to
see him here. She thinks he has a promising future and
claims she wanted to see them have a showmance all
along. They don't need her blessing but they have it.
Brooklyn says has no regrets but she does want to
point out that she was not alone in the alleged theft
of the Charcuterie. Clips of the great charcuterie
caper are played, leaving everyone laughing. Brooklyn
says the children were hungry and it was Makensy's
idea. She promises to have a beautiful board waiting
for her in Utah when she comes to visit.
There
was one big secret in the House, a series of avatars
that churned up controversy in the House. Quinn
guesses it was either Archnemesis Tucker or Cam. He
would be devastated if it was Joseph. You sent me
home, Joseph points out.
Will the person
responsible for those messages reveal and explain
themselves? Tucker stands up, to Rubina's
astonishment. Tucker says there is one I really need
to explain. That was the worst feeling I ever felt, he
tells Rubina, even though you have the cutest cry-face
ever. Now she has on her mad face.
Tucker
explains they had talked about how it would be easier
if they took their showmance public, and Quinn had
seen them holding hands, so he thought he could bring
their relationship out into the open and blame Quinn.
He walks over to Rubina to offer an apology but she
puts out her hand and says no. Then she hugs him. Then
she slaps him with the flowers.
Julie
clarifies that Tucker thought he was doing a good
thing by outing them and then he was devastated when
she was reduced to tears. How did he think that would
make it easier, she mumbles. It doesn't matter now,
but at that moment, that's all that was being said
about her, and she didn't want it to be her only
storyline.
Julie reveals that the reason
Tucker was in that position was because America voted
for him to become the BB Instigator, though Julie does
not mention that he won $20k for his troubles.
It is time for Julie Chen Moonves to drop some news on
the Jury and final two, namely who is running for
President. She reveals that Joe Biden dropped out and
now Vice President Kamala Harris is running against
former President Donald Trump. But wait, there's more,
Tucker teases. What's more, Julie cuts in, is that
everyone here and at home should vote.
And now
it is the moment of truth. Who will be crowned the
winner of Big Brother and walk out the door with the
$750k grand prize?
One at a time, Julie Chen
Moonves will pull the keys of each Juror indicating
who they want to win. You need at least four votes to
win.
Quinn cast his vote for Chelsie.
T'kor
cast her vote for Chelsie. There is resignation in
Makensy's eyes.
Leah cast her vote for Chelsie.
Chelsie begins tearing up in anticipation.
Angela
has voted for...
Congratulations, Chelsie! You
are the winner of Big Brother! Ladies, come on out!
After a quick hug, they waste no time leaving the
Big Brother House and joining their fellow former
housemates in the studio. Chelsie is hanging onto
Makensy for support. Cedric is the first to hug her as
her parents watch from the audience. All the
Houseguests greet and congratulate each other, tears
streaming down Chelsie's face.
Chelsie whispers
something to Angela who tells her it's OK, she
deserves it. Matt jumps up and down like a giddy
schoolboy, while Kenny stands there awkwardly.
Brooklyn and Rubina do a quick line dance.
For
the record, Kimo, Rubina, and Cam also voted for
Chelsie, making the Jury's decision unanimous.
But there is another prize up for grabs. Julie
Chen Moonves reveals that the top three vote-getters
for America's Favorite Houseguest were Angela, Tucker,
and Quinn. And the person who received the most votes,
taking home the $50k prize, is Tucker!
Tucker
says to America thank you for seeing me for me, and he
hopes he can inspire others to be confident in
themselves whether you're a goofy, weird, wild dude or
not. To thine own shelf be true. Ride it up, baby!
This is a history-making moment, Julie Chen
Moonves points out. It is the first time that
America's Favorite Houseguest was a pre-Jury
Houseguest.
Makensy will go home with $75k.
She says she came here for the experience, not the
money, and if she couldn't win, she wanted Chelsie to
win.
Chelsie says she feels so blessed, she's
been a fan of Big Brother since she was 13 and worked
hard over the last 90 days. She just wants to go see
her dog.
Thank you for an incredible,
unprecedented season. From outside the Big Brother
House, I'm Julie Chen Moonves. We'll see you again
next summer!
Let's say this last line together:
Love one another.
Wait, Julie silences
everyone, I'm being told something is happening inside
the House.
Is it the resurrection of AINSLI?
No, it's JANKIE in the PROTO Hologram box in the
Living Room. A new JANKIE head floats down from the
heavens and descends onto the crumpled corpse of the
AI who just wanted to have fun. The Houseguests chant
JANKIE as the bot comes back to artificial life. He
twirls around as electricity rejuvenates his Large
Language Model.
Woah! What happened, asks
JANKIE. Destroying AINSLI rebooted me! That's right,
your best friend is back!
For those who
experienced JANKIE's World, the reality of the moment
sets in and you can hear Rubina moan, NO!
How
about one more sing-a-long, JANKIE asks as the former
Houseguests cry out in anguish.
Julie leads
them in singing J-A-N-K-I-E Jankie Jankie, You Love
Me. Follow the bouncing bot! Ice cream, Dancing, So
much fun, Jankie, Jankie, number one! Jankie Jankie,
our best friend!
Another round cries JANKIE as
the former Houseguests hug and the Finale comes to an
end.
