“If people on the jury didn’t want to commend my game, then so be it.”
Makensy Manbeck had wonBig Brother.
But thats not what Makensy chose to do.

Instead, Makensy picked loyalty over money, choosingChelsie Bahamto join in her in the final two.
The move backfired when Chelsie swept the jury, winning in a unanimous 7-0 vote.
Makensy expressed satisfaction with her decision after losing, but would she make the same choice all over again?

And which votes did she not get that surprised her?
MAKENSY MANBEK:Honestly, I’m great.
I am ecstatic to make it all 90 days in theBig Brotherhouse.

Thats an accomplishment itself.
To win how many competitions I did as a female is an accomplishment itself.
I would really do it again, because I still had hope in myself.

But I was confident in my own game.
I was confident that I did play an amazing game.
I survived a lot in that house and I proved myself every week.

They can commend hers.
What did you think your chances were going up against Chelsie before you met with the jury?
I thought I did have a good chance of gettingLeahandAngela, because they said they would.

And I also did think that I possibly could have gottenQuinnandRubina, but I didn’t.
I don’t know why, but can’t do it over.
Those are the exact same four that Chelsie said at one point she thought you were going to get.
Yeah, look at us.
Do you think Chelsie would have brought you to the end had she won that final Head of Household?
I want to say yes, based on the conversations we had.
However, based on the questions and how she answered them, I don’t think so.
Because at least I can say that I was a good person and that I was true to myself.
For the record, I asked her and she says she would’ve brought you to the end.
Now, that’s easy for her to say now, but that is what she says.
She does say she would’ve brought you.
But well never know.
Well, thank goodness because she said that she would’ve, and I hope that she would’ve.
But yeah, I mean, who knows what would’ve actually ever happened.
We’ll never get that moment back.
Cam definitely would not have taken me.
I think Cam was lying to me the whole time, which is so funny.
But that’s why I did take him to the final three because I knew I could beat him.
Yeah, you would’ve beaten him.
I don’t think there’s any question.
Is that when you could sort of figure out the way it was going to go?
And it did allow her to show that she had very complex sides of her game.
And for me, I’m so proud of her, I’m so glad.
But for me, it really did make my game a one-sided game.
That was the game I had to play.
I was pushed into a corner, first week.
I was seen as a threat as soon as I did start winning.
And that’s exactly why I continually won.
And continually winning also puts an evenbiggertarget on you as a threat.
So I continually had to win even more!
So it was a great game, but it was a very one-sided game for me.
But again, it’s been seen, it’s been done.
And so be it.
Of your 10 comp wins, which one was your favorite?
Either AI Arena two, gettingTuckerout, the comp beast himself!
He said Somebody beat me!
And he apparently loves puzzles, but apparently I’m better at them.
So crazy, so amazing.
And that’s what people get for wanting to give me the boot first week.
Im telling you, I won that competition because nobody wanted to play with me in the first HOH.
Its not $750,000, but it is $75,000, so any plans for that money?
And then the rest of it will probably be spent on my family.
No, we did not get to speak a lot on stage or after.
I’ve been super busy, but a conversation hopefully is to be had very, very soon.
Matt is an amazing man and I would be very lucky to have a conversation with him.
So stay tuned on how that conversation goes and what it means.
Would you do it again?
Would you play again if they asked you?
Would I play again?
Absolutely, I would.
I need a break.
I need a quick little break, a little mental vacation, because being in there is stressful.
I’m 22 and I grew grays!
I’m just going to let everybody know right now I have gray hairs at 22!
