Each week, Big Brother host Julie Chen Moonves will weigh in on the latest events in the house. Here, she reacts to Matt dealing with all the whispers in the house, Cameron being voted out (again), Cirie floating under the radar, and the new Power of Invisibility twist. Also check out our exclusive Big Brother comic book covers and watch/read our exit interview with Cameron Hardin.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: First off, you looked truly exquisite this week, Julie. But moving on, Matt got very emotional talking about having difficulty dealing with people whispering in the house around him. What do you make of how well he is doing in a game that is often all about whispers and secrets?
JULIE CHEN MOONVES: It may be a blessing in disguise for him that he can’t be part of the whispering going on in the house. Removing himself from all those conversations could be a saving grace. That being said, it never feels good to be excluded, even if it’s not intentional. I applaud his resilience.
Cameron kept getting himself into alliances all season that still wanted to get rid of him anyway. What was his fatal flaw in this game?
I don’t really think it’s his fault. This group is the most flip-floppy, non-committal group I’ve ever seen. No bond feels deep or real except between mother and son Cirie and Jared. That said, Cameron talking too much probably did contribute to him having no real allies in the house.
Why do you think everyone just forgot about Cirie? She is known as a hardcore gamer and has so much experience in games like this, yet nobody seems focused on her.
Because she’s not holding court or running the house anymore. She’s kind of on her own island (like Zingbot said), so no one’s paying much attention to her. Plus, she’s no good at winning competitions.
How do you think the Power of Invisibility that will shield the identity of the next Head of Household will impact the game?
I think it’s going to spread a lot of paranoia until people figure out who is HOH. You can automatically eliminate Bowie Jane and whoever the two nominees are. And based on who the two noms are, you can probably figure out who the HOH is. Plus, people talk, so it’ll be found out. It will still cause panic though.
