won the show’s 26th season and the $750,000 grand prize Sunday night after her argument against runner-up Makensy Manbeck, 22, earned her all seven jury votes.Baham exclusively told The Post how Manbeck felt about her speech, the jury votes she was surprised to receive, the future of her relationship with Cam Sullivan-Brown and more.New York Post: How are you feeling about your big win?Chelsie Baham: I’m just grateful.

Watching this show for so many years and not only playing it, but winning it is a dream come true. So I’m just grateful. That is the primary feeling right now.In your speech, you contrasted your game to Makensy’s by taking credit for moves like Leah’s eviction.

How did Makensy feel about that?She did feel a type of way. Prior to that, she was kind of relaxed with her speech and what she was going to say.

She really felt that she was going to have it. And I knew all along the game that I was going to play. I don’t think she expected me to be that direct, let alone take the ownership of it and use that as part of my speech.So I think she was thrown off, but at the end of the day she knows that I made a lot of those decisions for her.
