Miesha wins the final HoH competition!

Miesha must now cast the final eviction vote of the season. Cynthia and Todrick get one last plea. Cynthia says it has been an amazing ride. She already feels like a winner as one of the Final 3 celebrities. She played the game with loyalty and always kept her word. She’s proud of both Todrick and Miesha, and she thanks them for the amazing ride. Todrick calls Miesha his “ride or die.” He calls this a tremendous experience, and he’s grateful to have met Miesha. He will respect any decision she makes. Afterwards, Miesha stands up and makes her choice. Miesha votes to evict Cynthia.

Cynthia walks out for her interview with Julie. Cynthia admits she’s not surprised. Julie asks for her thoughts on the Final 2. Cynthia respects how straightforward Miesha was throughout the game. She says she had a soft spot for Todrick, and she’s grateful how he helped her along the way. Julie asks whom Cynthia would have brought to the Final 2 if she won the Final HoH competition. Cynthia says she would’ve brought Todrick to the Final 2 with her.

The former celebrities are back to vote for the winner. We hear from some of them before the vote. Carson apologizes to Shanna. He says he should have trusted actions instead of words. Shanna thanks Carson and calls him an amazing human being. Shanna says it’s refreshing to see everyone again. She says Celebrity Big Brother was one of the toughest things she has done. Julie asks the criteria for a winner. Chris Kirkpatrick wants a balance of competition wins and a good social game. He adds jury management is important too. Afterwards, Cynthia joins them. Julie reveals that Miesha won the last HoH competition and chose to bring Todrick to the Final 2 with her.

Miesha and Todrick will get to make a final speech for the jury’s votes. Miesha says she tried to play the game with as much integrity and honesty, but she wasn’t perfect. She wanted to inspire her children to dream big and girls can be great and amazing. She hopes she sent that message to the world. She thanks them for going on this journey with her, and she adores them. Todrick says he had a game plan to lie low, but that didn’t happen. He says he was handpicking targets and had a hand in determining who was evicted. He loves this game, and he knows how this game is won. He says it’s not just about competitions, but also how you mentally and strategically navigate the game. He adds he wasn’t on the block once, and he thinks he played a well-rounded game.

Afterwards, the jurors cast their votes. They can make a statement when they cast their votes. Teddi chooses the lesser of two evils. Mirai appreciates competitions and she alludes that Miesha’s competition wins was beastly. Chris says this vote is for his son (Todrick has made disrespectful comments about Chris’s family in the house). Shanna says she will never have to hear one of their voices again. Carson says they both played an incredible game. He’s voting for the person who worked it a little bit harder. Lamar says he just got a tattoo, and he’s voting for the person who represents the message better. Todd says he saw the live feeds and didn’t like the mean comments he heard from one of them. Cynthia says they are amazing together. She’s voting for the person who helped her navigate the game.

MIESHA TATE WINS CELEBRITY BIG BROTHER!

Julie reveals the Top 3 for America’s Favorite Houseguest: Lamar, Carson, and Shanna. The winner is Carson! He wins $25,000. He says he will donate a large portion to his charity. Julie asks for final thoughts from Miesha and Todrick. Miesha calls this a surreal experience. She can’t articulate what she’s feeling now.

Todrick says the experience was different than what he expected, but he still calls it a dream come true.
