Julie Chen Moonves has reported feeling ill.
The television celebrity and seasoned “Big Brother” host made her absence from tonight’s live eviction broadcast known on Thursday in an Instagram post.
Moonves claimed that on Friday, she developed a sore throat. Upon checking with a “good friend who is an ENT,” it became apparent that she had COVID-19. “Thankfully this is only the second time for me, and it’s been very mild!” Moonves penned. “No fever and just a sore throat.”
Moonves did, however, add that she continues to test positive for the condition, which means she will have to miss the live episode of the CBS reality series.
“Observe? After all, Chenbot is human!” Moonves made a joke. “Love one another and enjoy tonight’s show.”
However, Moonves isn’t abandoning “Big Brother” devotees.
“I felt defrauded,” says Julie Chen Moonves, who was “gutted” to be fired from “The Talk.” Jerry O’Connell replaces Julie Chen Moonves on “Big Brother.”
Jerry O’Connell, Moonves’ former co-host of “The Talk,” will be stepping in for her on Thursday’s edition of “Big Brother,” the actress revealed in an Instagram post.
“I hope Jerry fits into my dress, has a ball and tells the houseguests I miss them but will be watching from home,” Moonves wrote in her letter.
O’Connell made light of the fact that he will be Moonves’ “substitute teacher” on “Big Brother” in an Instagram video posted on Thursday.
“Julie Chen Moonves is feeling a little under the weather,” O’Connell stated. “We love her.”
What was the ‘Big Brother’ Thursday incident? Who was on the jury?
On Thursday, the first contestant of the season was added to the “Big Brother 26” jury.
Pre-veto ceremony began the evening with Kimo Apaka and Angela Murray on the block. Which of them left, or did Makensy Manbeck exercise her veto power to allow someone else to enter the jury house?
This is what transpired on Thursday, September 12, in the episode.
What was going on Thursday, September 12, on ‘Big Brother’?
Jerry O’Connell hosted the first part of the evening instead of Julie Chen Moonves, who disclosed her COVID-19 status on Thursday.
Before introducing the following part, which featured the veto ceremony, he informed the houseguests that he would be taking her place for the night. Makensy made the decision to veto Angela, and Quinn Martin took Angela’s place as Head of Household under Chelsie Baham.
Before speaking with Cam Sullivan-Brown about their real goal for the week, Chelsie was upset about putting Quinn—who she likes as a person—on the block. T’kor Clottey and Kimo then discussed sending Quinn home to allow Kimo to remain at the residence.
Quinn discussed being on the block and feeling pessimistic about his prospects with Leah Peters. But Leah declared she would do everything in her power to hold onto him.Afterwards, Leah confronted Angela for putting her under the bus in front of Chelsie. Refusing to put her under the bus, Angela claimed that her remarks were misinterpreted. Because Chelsie says she didn’t mention Leah was the one to form an alliance (that isn’t a true alliance) with Quinn, T’kor, Kimo, and Rubina Bernabe, Angela questioned Chelsie about what she had truly told her about Leah. In the diary room, Angela later declared that she would give this one to Chelsie; however, recollections revealed that Angela had actually stated that Leah was the initiator of the alleged alliance.
After putting their differences behind them, Angela and Leah discussed sending Kimo home and working together with Quinn.
Then, a scene when Quinn made flirtatious comments to Leah and she might have admitted that she had a crush on him in the diary room was shown in the episode.
Before talking to Cam and Chelsie, Quinn explained to Makensy why she should stick with him instead of Kimo. Makensy and Chelise discussed whether or not they wanted to keep Quinn.
Next, the residents of the house cast their votes for the individual they wished to be kicked out.
On Thursday, who left ‘Big Brother’?
Quinn Martin was voted out of the house by a vote of 4 to 2.
