Julie Chen Moonves Teases ‘Whirlwind’ Live Finale of ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ Season 3: ‘This Jury Is So Fired Up’

usmagazine.com:

Get ready for some fireworks. At this point, the outcome of Celebrity Big Brother season 3 may seem predictable, but host Julie Chen Moonves says the finale should bring at least a little bit of drama.“This jury is so fired up,” the CBS personality, 52, exclusively tells Us Weekly ahead of the Wednesday, February 23, live finale during which all the jurors will be brought back together to vote for one winner between singer/dancer Todrick Hall, Real Housewives of Atlanta alum Cynthia Bailey and former UFC champ Miesha Tate (depending on who wins final Head of Household).“There’s gonna be a live HOH.

Because we’re only an hour, it’s gonna be a whirlwind of an hour,” Julie says. “All the jurors get to say one statement before they stick the key in the box.

And I think that will be a powerful part of the show when each one gets to say something to the final two. It’s amazing how in one sentence you can really take a dig at someone, or show grace, or just let someone know exactly where they stand.”When it comes to her rooting interests, she tells Us, “I don’t think I’m rooting for anyone in that’s left in the house, but I do think Miesha deserves it. … So, in a way, I guess I am rooting for Miesha because she has worked her butt off, and if she doesn’t win it, I think that would be an injustice to her.”Miesha has been aligned closely with Todrick, but he’s been taking a ton of heat from his fellow houseguests as they get evicted – something Julie thinks he needs to own if there’s any chance of him scoring a few votes.“Jury management is everything, always,” she tells Us. “That’s why that final speech to the jurors who are often very bitter, sometimes rightfully so, sometimes not rightfully so.
