Big Brother season 24 champ and fan favorite Taylor Hale told Entertainment Weekly she was waiting on the email to ask her to host the season 26 jury roundtable on this Sunday's two-hour season finale. Well, email received.

Host Julie Chen Moonves announced at the end of Thursday's live eviction episode on CBS that Taylor would be taking over for longtime jury roundtable host Will Kirby (who is busy sporting tuxedos in a jungle on Deal or No Deal Island), and that takeover is already complete.

The jury roundtable has already occurred (now that Rubina Bernabe has entered the house as juror number six) and EW has the exclusive first photo of Quinn Martin, T’Kor Clottey. Leah Peters, Angela Murray, Kimo Apaka, and Rubina debating with Taylor about the final three.

And that final three would be Chelsie Baham (the master strategist), Makensy Manbeck (the comp beast), and Cam Sullivan-Brown (the, um, likable wallflower???). The jury will talk through the pros and cons of each candidate vying for the $750,000 prize, with the jurors on the receiving end of probing questions from the former winner.

Taylor expressed her interest in taking over the coveted jury roundtable host role. "I would sell my firstborn to do it," she told EW before the announcement. "It'd be an absolute dream, but I'll wait on the email."

At that point, she said she had not yet been contacted about taking on the gig. "We'll see if they call, email anything. But I'm absolutely dying to do it, so I'm throwing my hat in the ring, Big Brother."

That hat has now officially been picked up. And while the decision on who should take home the title and money is ultimately up to the jurors, Taylor did not hesitate when EW asked her who she thinks is playing the best game. "Right now, Chelsie," she said. "It's her game to lose."

She also expressed concern about Makensy's "really rough HOH" when Chelsie manipulated her into sending her ally Leah out the door. "I don't think she can recover from it," she said. "We'll see."

Indeed, we will, and we'll also see how the jury responds when instead of Dr. Will, Taylor is the one who walks into the house to interview them… hopefully with a bag of Lay's chips in hand.
