Julie Chen Reacts to Zach’s Big ‘Big Brother’ Blunder

Each week, Big Brother host Julie Chen Moonves will weigh in on the latest events inside the house exclusively with Entertainment Weekly. This week, she reacts to Zach not using his power that could have kept him safe, Keanu’s slow and steady competition approach, Mickey’s power play, and the Veto punishment costumes.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Julie, Zach could have taken himself off the block by giving up his $10,000, and said he didn’t do it because he did not want another player who did not even vote for him to stay to have to go on the block in his place. Thoughts?

Julie Chen Moonves: This shows how in the BB house you truly never know who your friends are! This is a classic example of what getting blindsided in the game means!

Keanu seems to be moving sooooooo slow in some of these competitions, and then goes and wins anyway. What is going on with that guy?

He is a thinker and a strategizer! Grace under fire. He doesn’t panic and he thinks every step through. He’s methodical. He’s a D&D Master. And it shows!

Mickey told Ashley she could control the vote this week. Who do you think holds the most power in the house right now?

I think Vince. This guy has the majority of the house under his spell. He has the gift of gab and making people feel safe with him and like they can trust him.

Finally, if forced to choose one Big Brother outfit to wear for the week, would you go for the BUTT-ler or the Hard Boiled Detective?

Ha! That’s an over-easy choice! The egg-cellent egg costume, of course. It looks way more comfortable, no serving and cooking involved, and easier to sit in. Plus, it looks cozy. You can take a nap in it. Also, no worries about how much you want to eat. Makes elastic waistbands look like child’s play!
