Summary

• Host Julie Chen Moonves believes that Big Brother houseguest Jag Bains should be the next target, as he is strong at winning competitions but lacks influence in the game.
• Julie considers Cory Wurtenberger to be running the Big Brother house due to his persuasive speaking skills and strong social game.
• Julie has a zero tolerance policy for hate speech on Big Brother, stating that it is unacceptable and she strongly condemns the use of racial slurs.

The Big Brother season 25 houseguests are all competitive threats, but host Big Brother's decades-long run, Julie has been the only host of the series and has an intense personal relationship with the series. As a fan of the game herself and a part of the series from the very beginning, Julie often weighs in on what's happening in the Big Brother house, sharing her thoughts on the players and the game as a whole. For Julie, watching new houseguests tackle Big Brother is second nature.

According to an interview with Big Brother 25's Cory Wurtenberger is actually running the house. Cory "has the gift of being a persuasive speaker," according to Julie, and also "has a fair amount of people under his belt" aside from his showmance America Lopez.

Big Brother's Julie Chen Moonves Has "Zero Tolerance" For Hate Speech

Although Big Brother is meant to capture the contestants 24/7, sharing their most personal thoughts, there's still a code of conduct in place to ensure that houseguests are held to an appropriate standard of behavior. Earlier in the season, Luke Valentine used a racial slur and was swiftly ejected from the game, causing a stir. "It's just zero tolerance for that. That is unacceptable," Julie explained. "That word really stings me. I can't imagine anyone using it even casually. I don't condone it at all." She shared that if she had things her way, Big Brother's code of conduct would apply in every situation.

As the longest season in show history, Big Brother 25 has continued long past its typical benchmark. Most seasons span between 80 and 90 days, with some in the mid-90's, but Big Brother 25 will be a 100-day-long competition. The houseguests, who have been in the house for roughly 60 days, are feeling the pressure after more than half the competition has gone by. With the series' most recent twist resurrecting Cameron Hardin's game after he was unanimously evicted, the series will pick up the pace for the rest of the houseguests as they head towards the finish line.

While there are still nearly 40 days left of Big Brother 25, the houseguests have already played close to a full game. Though there are still several weeks to go, the end is on the horizon for the Big Brother 25 cast, including Jag, Cory, and Cameron. With the power shifting week to week, it's impossible to know who will wind up the winner of the longest modern season to date. Big Brother viewers will have to continue watching and expect the unexpected in order to see what happens next.

Big Brother airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. EDT, Thursdays at 8 p.m. EDT, and Sundays at 10 p.m. EDT on CBS.
