ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Okay, Julie. Let’s get your thoughts on each the final three heading into Sunday night’s finale. We’ll start with Morgan. What are Morgan’s strengths and weaknesses in the game and with the jury heading into the finale?
JULIE CHEN MOONVES: Morgan’s strengths are her comp beast wins this last month. She’s on a roll and seems unstoppable. She also has never betrayed anyone. Her weakness is she didn’t get any wins until it was a much smaller number competing against her. I would like say Vince is her weakness, but at this point I don’t think anything can stand in her way of winning it all. She’s far outpaced him at this point.

What are Vince’s strengths and weaknesses in the game and with the jury heading into the finale?
Vince’s strength is his HOH wins this season. Four! That’s a record and impressive, especially being that one of them was the grueling wall comp. His weakness is he’s lied and betrayed almost everyone on the jury. He has ticked off almost everyone on the jury.

What are Ashley’s strengths and weaknesses in the game and with the jury heading into the finale?
Ashley’s strength is who she aligns herself with. She was tight with Rachel and that protected her. She is in the Judges alliance with Morgan and Vince, and they keep winning power so that has kept her safe. Her weakness is she has only one win from the first week on her resume. She can’t really argue why she deserves to win because she hasn’t done much in the game but align with strong people.

Finally, who do you think is going to take home the crown and $50,000 as America’s Favorite Houseguest?
America always loves the underdog. We saw it with Taylor when she won, and I saw it all summer online with people routing for Keanu. I think it will go to him or Rachel. People love Rachel. But an underdog she is not. So it will likely be Keanu.
