Big Brother season 26 wrapped up last night with an riveting two-hour finale, and we now know who won!

Spoilers ahead if you don’t wanna see any of the news.

Makensy Manbeck won the final Head of Household competition, meaning she got to choose to bring either Chelsie Baham or Cam Sullivan-Brown to the finals to debate their worthiness of the grand prize to the jury of houseguests.

Makensy ended up bringing Chelsie, her ride-or-die in the house, instead of Cam. This proved to be a mistake, as Chelsie got a unanimous vote by the jury to win the game.

There’s a prevailing belief that if Makensy had chosen Cam, she could have won the $750,000 prize.

Now, Makensy is speaking out.

When asked by TV Insider if she regrets bringing Chelsie, she said she did not. She added, “I was asked before I made the decision if I would regret it if she won and my answer will be no, always because that was a testament to the game I played. I came into this house wanting to be a loyal, respectable player, play with grace, play with kindness, and play with my heart because a lot of people come into Big Brother, and they don’t do that and they get booted because of that. And the thing is that I didn’t — I made it all the way to the end, and I could have made a decision that would have probably allowed me to win first place. But I wasn’t scared of getting second, and I wasn’t scared of having a harder competition to possibly get first because it was a loyal decision and it was one that I would be proud of watching back. And yes, I got second, but her getting first place is a win for me. Anyways, she’s an incredible woman. Very deserving. She played an incredible game.”

If she thought she would get an jury votes, Makensy said, “I would say, I at least thought I would get Leah. But I get it. I will say Chelsie knows how to articulate her game very, very well. I didn’t have a lot to articulate. My game was shown. My game spoke for itself. I had to win and it was a lot like Taylor [Hale]’s season. And so it’s been shown, it’s been seen before. It’s been done before. Nothing new to anybody. It was a lot less complex than Chelsie’s was.”

She then added, “And even though I love Chelsie, she definitely dragged me a bit in those answers — and, you know, respect, that’s what you’re supposed to do, I guess, but it’s not in my nature to do that. I don’t want to do that ever to anybody. I wanted my game to speak for itself, and if people can’t realize how amazing of a game I played then, so be it because at least I do.”
