‘Big Brother 26’s’ Cam shares what he would’ve said in his speeches against Chelsie and Makensy
The biggest question entering Sunday’s “Big Brother 26” finale wasn’t whether Makensy would actually take Chelsie to the final two (she did and lost) but how could Cam Sullivan-Brown forget to give a shoutout to all his dawgs at the crib last week. “Oh my gosh! When you’re on the block, your minds gets to racing a lot, the pressure gets heavy, so I did forget about my dawgs, but I will never forget about them now,” he tells Gold Derby (watch above).
The 25-year-old also forgot to shout them out in his eviction speech to Makensy on Sunday, moments before she cut him in third place. “I hope I made them proud. I wish I could’ve brought home the prize, but third place ain’t too bad.” Cam was not shocked that Makensy evicted him and still would’ve taken Chelsie to the final two had he won the final HOH.

“I think I would’ve fared better against Makensy, to be honest, if it came down to jury speeches. [Against] Chelsie, it would’ve been a little bit tougher, but we had very similar games and I think I could’ve used my speech just to talk about my game and how I differentiated my game against hers, and that could’ve helped me win too,” he says. “Against Chelsie, I did manipulate her HOH to get my targets out as well. It was not just her doing all of the work. It was both of us as a duo and the fact that she won power and I manipulated her to get my targets out. I think that’s an excellent social game and I would’ve used it against her.
He would’ve used the same argument against Makensy, starting with pointing out that he and Chelsie brought her in on Day 45. “Whenever she had power, we manipulated every move that she did.”
Save for one Veto win, Cam never had power in the game and struggled mightily in the comps — something that was “extremely frustrating” for the former Penn State wide receiver and had Chelsie and Makensy believing he was throwing comps. “I really came into this game so confident and every time I lost, I lost a little bit of that confidence,” he says. “I don’t even know why the competitions were so tough. But I had to flip it and I had to use it to my advantage. Hopefully it worked out for the best and it got me to top three, so I can’t be mad at it, but I certainly wanted to win a lot more than I did.”
