ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: The veto meeting started dramatically and got wilder and wilder! What moment surprised you the most?

JULIE CHEN MOONVEST: When Tucker openly declared war on Cedric’s game, that was so brave. Can I say that? Well, I just did! Expect the unexpected. What can I tell you, Chenbot is from Queens. #718 and I’m so old school, I was there when it was still 212!

Quinn has multiple alliances, which has definitely hurt players in the past, but it saved him this week. How long do you think he can keep all of these alliances going?

I think he can hold on for at least another week as long as he has the deep fake HOH! That’s for sure! Hah! But beyond that, I think he can hold on as long as he doesn’t win any competitions. He’s likable among his roommates and doesn’t seem to pose a threat. As long as he can keep that vibe up, he’s good.

Makensy used America’s veto power and put the replacement candidate in America’s hands. Why do you think viewers voted to put Quinn on the line? He’s a good TV star, so why take the risk of sending him home?

Watch Season 1 of BB and you’ll know why. We Americans take this all so personally and are right INVESTED! We don’t think beyond the initial emotion. That being said, I also think a big part of it is probably that America LOVES Tucker, and whatever Tucker wants, America wants. Right now.

Speaking of Tucker, he seems to be an even bigger target than Quinn at the moment after winning twice in the AI ​​Arena and clashing so publicly with Cedric. What do you think he should do this week to smooth things over?

He should somehow find a surefire way to get to a solid Final 2 with Quinn and take it all the way to the end. Then they can see who really has what it takes to bring home the gold!
