‘Celebrity Big Brother 3′: Julie Chen Moonves’ ‘Heart Hurt’ for Todrick Hall During the Finale
Celebrity Big Brother 3 didn’t end on a good note for Todrick Hall. Julie Chen Moonves talked about watching the finale play out and how he reacted to the upset jurors.
[Spoiler: Spoilers ahead for Celebrity Big Brother 3 finale, including who won.]
Todrick Hall lost a lot of jury votes on ‘Celebrity Big Brother 3’
Hall played a strong game throughout the season. He partnered with the strongest competitor in Miesha Tate. The dancer also socially won over most of the house.
But Tate was still a big target, and he was determined to keep her safe. He told Cynthia Bailey and Carson Kressley that Shanna Moakler betrayed them. This took the heat off of Tate, who Kressley previously wanted to target.
They were successful in evicting her. But once the other jurors left the game, they realized they were tricked by Hall. They also found out Hall made negative comments about houseguests behind their back.
The jurors responded by voting against him and calling him out. Hall lost with a vote of 7-1.
Julie Chen Moonves’ ‘heart hurt’ for Todrick Hall during the finale
The person with the best seat in the finale was Moonves. She stood on the stage as each juror voted and spoke their mind. Many of them had something to say to Hall, and Moonves admitted to feeling bad for the runner-up.
“My heart hurt for him,” the host told Entertainment Weekly. “He was aware and he looked concerned. My guess is, he was probably rewinding in his mind what he did in the house to make people upset. I pray he makes any and all amends to those he hurt and that people allow grace and forgiveness.”
Moonves admitted the celebrity jurors not being sequestered affected the game. “Well, I know Todd would have voted differently,” she said. “That said, I am pretty sure Miesha had this one locked up with all those wins in tough competitions week after week.”
Miesha Tate was also surprised by the jurors
Tate didn’t get as many digs thrown at her during the voting segment. She won, but she also talked about feeling bad for Hall.
“I was very taken aback,” Tate told Parade. “And I’ll be honest, the mother in me came out. I was just worried. I was like, ‘What is going on right now?’ I must have looked like a deer in headlights. Because I’m taking this all in, and I just won Celebrity Big Brother.”
She added, “But I’m concerned for my friend. I don’t understand what’s going on. I haven’t seen any of this.”
Hall hasn’t talked about the season yet. Although most of the cast turned on him, it looks like there were a few people who had sympathy for him.
