“Big Brother” host Julie Chen Moonves weighs in on the curse of Rachel Reilly

Each week, Big Brother host Julie Chen Moonves will weigh in on the latest events inside the house. This week, she reacts to latest evicted houseguest, the return of a comp beast, Jimmy’s replacement nominees, and Rachel’s future.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: LET’S GOOOOOOOOO, Julie! What was it like seeing Kaycee back in the house and winning yet another Veto comp as the Mystery Competitor?

JULIE CHEN MOONVES: It was amazing! Let’s goooooooo!!!! Watching her win brought back fond memories of her incredible winning streak at the backend of season 20. That was an epic season and a very deserving final 2 with her and Tyler. It may have been seven years, but she hasn’t missed a beat!

Nobody seemed happy with Jimmy’s replacement nominees, as even his allies were upset with him for not taking a stand, and Will called it a “bitch-ass move.” Then again, he did have to nominate five different people. What did you make of Jimmy’s HOH week?

He tried. He had two solid targets, but they won their way off the block. In addition, he’s got relationships with so many people in the house that there wasn’t a big pool to pick from for replacement nominees.

Rachel rallied the votes to save Amy last week but couldn’t do it this week. Where do you think the BB legend stands in the game at this point?

She needs to start winning competitions now to guarantee her safety. Losing Amy may be the first Jenga piece that loosens her footing in the house.

Finally, Amy wondered if her friendship with Rachel was “a blessing or a curse.” What do you think? 

I think it was more of a curse. She would’ve been seen as a weak player who isn’t a threat. Instead, she was seen as a number and shield for Rachel.
