“I just can’t believe that they lied to us straight to our face.
It definitely sounds like I owe Shanna a huge apology.”
Cynthia Bailey was not exactly what anyone would describe as a competition beast.

How does Cynthia feel about almost making it all the way to the end?
Does she regret being duped into turning on Shanna?
CYNTHIA BAILEY:I am still in shock, basically.

I never expected to make it as far as I did.
Apparently, there are some things that have happened.
I just got out of the house.
Miesha Tate, Todrick Hall, and Cynthia Bailey on ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ season 3.CBS
I have not watched the show, but my cast did not look happy today.
And I have no idea what has been happening on this show and in the outside world.
Were you surprised how salty everyone on the jury was with Todrick?
Oh, my goodness.
I was so excited to leave the house and see everyone, and everyone was, like, stone-faced.
I was like, “What is going on?”
Really quickly, he just said, “You have to watch the show.”
And I was like, “Of course I’m going to watch the show.
I’m going to watch it anyway, no matter what.
I can’t wait to watch the show.”
So I didn’t know.
I figured it was maybe 50-50, because Miesha was HOH longer than anyone.
So she had a lot of blood on her hands.
I was surprised Todrick didn’t get more love.
I am still processing all of that.
After the show Carson told me.
And none of it was true."
And I was like, “Oh, my God.”
I just can’t even believe it.
I still can’t believe that they lied to us to our face.
And I feel horrible because I was so tough on Shanna.
Because when you’re in that house, all you have is your alliance.
And I was super protective of Carson.
He was my ride-or-die.
And we were like, “Hey, we’re in an alliance.
We all agreed to vote for Teddi.”
And then she didn’t.
Have you had a chance to talk to Shanna at all yet?
No, I have not had a chance.
And again, I’m still processing.
I can’t even believe I’m even talking to you right now.
I haven’t even seen a computer in 30 days!
I’m still in shock that I’ve seen other people that weren’t in theBig Brotherhouse.
And I owe her a huge apology.
I don’t even know where to start.
Because now that we’re out here, I don’t know how big of a deal it is.
Because you don’t have any of the outlets.
Honestly, Cynthia, it was like watching a horror movie seeing you and Carson get duped.
We were all sitting there like, “No!
Oh, my God.
You guys was like, “Don’t believe that.”
Oh, my God.
Yeah, it was bad.
Oh, my goodness.
I have to see this.
Okay, that makes me feel a little bit better.
I have to imagine Todrick’s really processing.
How’s he doing now since he got out of the house?
I’m sure that was a lot for him to take.
I haven’t seen him since we left Julie [Chen Moonves].
I was like, “I don’t know.
Everybody’s upset and I don’t know.”
So I didn’t get a chance to really have a conversation with him, and I don’t…
I can’t even …
I don’t know.
I just can’t believe that they lied to us straight to our face.
What do you think happens with that jury vote?
I might have had a shot to win actually, because I never was in any position of power.
I never won any comps, so I never could put anybody on the block.
So I didn’t have any blood on my hands.
I tried to be nice to everyone.
Everyone stayed in our room all the time.
I think I may have had a shot.
Because again, if for no other reason, my hands were clean.
I was just part of the village in the house.
I just spoke to Carson and asked him the same question.
He says hands down you would’ve won.
Oh, my God.
You brought up the competitions.
What happened in those competitions?
You were having some difficulty with those.
Listen, if “can’t win for losing” was a person, that would be me.
I just could not win.
But actually, once you get out there, you actually want to win.
And I just sucked.
I just couldn’t win anything.
So what are you going to do now?
Are you going to immediately start rewatching stuff?
Or do you should probably decompress for a little bit?
Well, I’m excited to see my husband, Mike, and my kids and Noelle, everyone.
I have see what everyone is so upset about.
Once I found out that it wasn’t physical, I was like, “You know what?
I may have a shot at this.”
And I was pretty optimistic in the beginning.
I think I got the first one right.
And then that just would’ve sucked once I found out everything that had happened.
