Big Brother: Celebrity Edition: Julie Chen talks twists, cast, and more
The video below comes via Facebook Live, as Julie did her part to promote the contestants, the strategy, and also whether or not the celebrities are going to be able to handle having so many egos within the same house. It’s a theme that she goes back to on a few different occasions and we certainly do agree that it’s one of the most interesting things about this season. Given that so many of these contestants may be 100% sure that they are the star in the room and that nothing will ever get in their way, it makes a certain degree of sense that getting this sort of humility could be a gut-check.
Also, we personally think that being in this house will drive so many of these celebrities insane given the fact that they’ll be stripped of social media, assistants, publicists, and many of the other things that they use to get through the day.

As for a couple of odds and ends from the video, Julie busts out a season 5 reference in talking about how much she loved the original twin twist. (We did think that it was pretty fun with Julia and Liz, but season 5 was clearly the most dramatic and exciting. They were able to pull that off so much better.)
One of the challenges that Chen has in this video is trying to sell us on some of the celebrities are going to be great. We’re pretty confident with people like Shannon Elizabeth and Ross Matthews who know the show well. However, we’re a little more pessimistic about some of the other people who don’t know the show all that well. (Rooting for Metta World Peace in particular to be entertaining feels like fools’ gold — many athletes on these shows tend to disappoint.)
Be sure to keep coming back every morning to our archive page, given that this is where you are going to be able to see all of our houseguest spotlights throughout the season.
