Julie Chen Moonves reveals what to expect from the finale

The season 3 finale will be a thrilling episode as all three contestants are tough competitors. Speaking about what to expect, host Julie Chen Moonves told Us Weekly:

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

She continued:

“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.”

Moonves further mentioned that the jury is “fired up.”

Those who have been following the show must be aware of evicted members being annoyed at Hall. Mostly, all the contestants’ reason to leave the house was Hall betraying their friendship or targeting and strategizing to vote them out.

Moakler was one of Hall’s nemesis on the show, thus, she slammed him after being evicted. She told Parade:

“He started clapping and dancing while I was walking out the door. So that’s why I was like, ‘Oh, OK! Well, I’ll make sure all the jury doesn’t vote for you. You got your way. You lied and schemed; good for you. Don’t hate the player, hate the game.”

Further, recently evicted contestant Odom called the finalist a “fake friend” on his Instagram post. Bridges, too, said he didn’t want to award any win to Hall.

Only time will tell whether Hall’s strategy works in Celebrity Big Brother finale.
