Published on March 04, 2026 EDT

Each week, Big Brother host Julie Chen Moonves has been weighing in on the latest events inside the house. This week, she previews finale night on Sunday and shares her take on each of the final three.

CBS

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: We’ll do things a bit differently this week and get your thoughts on the final three heading into the finale. So first off, what are Chelsie’s strengths and weaknesses in the game and with the jury heading into the finale?

JULIE CHEN MOONVES: Her strengths are her 4 HOH wins, her ability to control other people’s HOHs to fit her agenda, her ability to get along with others, and that fact that she has some friends on the jury, and those who may not be considered a close friend but love and respect this game and should give credit when and where it’s due.

Her weakness might be if she has to argue against someone who has a comp résumé like Makensy’s!

What are Makensy’s strengths and weaknesses in the game and with the jury heading into the finale?

Her strengths are: 9 wins ranging from 2 HOHs, 4 Vetoes (one of them being OTEV in the first round), to winning in the BB AI arena twice under pressure on LIVE TV, and the way she boldly used/revealed her secret upgrade Power of Veto early in the game. She’s been strong, not a liar, and also gets along with everyone.

Her weakness might be allowing Chelsie to get in her ear and head and doing what Chelsie wants instead of what she wants. But at this point it may not matter anymore… unless Chelsie is sitting next to her in final 2 and argues that point successfully.

CBS

What are Cam’s strengths and weaknesses in the game and with the jury heading into the finale?

His strengths are: He is liked by all, he is honest and never lied to anyone, and he can try and argue he got to the end having never won a comp and never getting blood on his hands… even took a rest during the BB Comics comp!

His weakness is he hasn’t won any comps despite being a D1 football player. His résumé is light.

CBS

Finally, who’s your guess for America’s Favorite Houseguest?

Leah or Tucker. Or maybe Quinn, because he’s funny. Then again, maybe Angela if moms band together and vote.  Truth is, I really don’t know. Tucker has been gone so long people may have forgotten about him a little. Stay tuned and… expect the unexpected!
