This article therefore does not attribute any opinion to that interview. What can be established is the finale outcome, and a separate set of post-finale remarks that secondary reports attribute to Chen Moonves.
The season 26 final three and the result
Three houseguests reached the finale. The outcome, as reported by ScreenRant in 2024, is set out below. The ScreenRant page itself could not be opened for this article, so these details come from a search-result excerpt of that report.

| Finalist | Reported outcome | Source and status |
|---|---|---|
| Chelsie Baham | Winner, by a 7–0 jury vote | ScreenRant (2024), secondary excerpt |
| Makensy Manbeck | Ran to the final two and chose Chelsie to sit beside her | ScreenRant (2024), secondary excerpt |
| Cam Sullivan-Brown | Eliminated before the final two | ScreenRant (2024), secondary excerpt |
The 7–0 figure is the only numerical result we could attribute to a source. It describes the jury vote at the finale, not a broader measure of the season.
Chen Moonves’s reported post-finale remarks
A ScreenRant excerpt from 2024 attributes the following comments to Chen Moonves. They are reported as post-finale reactions. They are not confirmed as part of the exclusive interview and should be read as a separate item.

- On Chelsie’s game, she is reported to have said: “It was almost flawless.”
- On the vote, she is reported to have said: “She deserved the 7-0 unanimous win! (And I’m not just saying that cause I’m her ‘Auntie!’)”
- On Makensy, she is reported to have said Makensy “seemed prepared to possibly lose the game in order to stay true to who she is as a person and keep her integrity intact. I’m proud of her.”
A syndicated copy of the same summary and remarks appears on Yahoo with a date of October 14, 2024. We could not access that page’s full text, so it adds no independent confirmation of the quotations; it only shows the same material circulated more widely.
What the exclusive can and cannot be shown to say
The headline describes an exclusive in which Chen Moonves sizes up the final three. Nothing we could verify confirms what that interview contains. Readers should therefore treat the quotations above as post-finale reporting, not as the exclusive’s assessment, until the original interview is available to compare.
When you find the exclusive, check these points before relying on any quotation:
- The publication date, and whether it appeared before or after the finale result.
- Whether the quoted lines appear word-for-word in the interview transcript or video, not only in a recap.
- Whether a secondary article has merged the exclusive with separate finale remarks, which is the main risk with this topic.
The earlier final-three interview format
Chen Moonves has conducted pre-finale interviews with final three houseguests before. A Paramount+ episode listing for season 21 describes her sitting down with the previous season’s final three to hear their thoughts ahead of the finale. The listing dates the episode September 23, 2019. That format is documented, but the listing does not describe the season 26 interview, and it cannot tell readers what was said in it.
