After Big Brother 26 houseguest T’kor Clottey was evicted from the game, host Julie Chen Moonves revealed her shocking choice for who’s playing the best game. Big Brother 26 is down to its final seven contestants. They include Angela Murray, Cam Sullivan-Brown, Chelsie Baham, Kimo Apaka, Leah Peters, Makensy Manbeck, and Rubina Bernabe.
Hmmmm… maybe Angela??? She plays the game! Every angle of it, and it’s working for her!
In an interview with EW, Julie revealed that she believed that the houseguests were “smart” for evicting T’kor. She explained, “No one could win against her in a final two. She’s beloved by the houseguests. No one left in the house can come close to her social game.” Julie then considered which houseguest is playing the best game now that T’kor’s gone, shockingly stating, “Hmmmm… maybe Angela??? She plays the game! Every angle of it, and it’s working for her!”
However, Julie added another Big Brother 26 houseguest to her list as well. She said, “But I also think Chelsie has a nice résumé. She’s smart. She gets it. She sees what happening in the house and she knows how to pivot when needed.” Julie added, “But she needs to channel her inner Auntie Julie Chenbot side and remove her romantic feelings for Cam from the game. It’s clouding her vision too much and taking her eye off the prize!”

What Julie Chen Moonves’ Assessment Of The Houseguests Means For Big Brother 26
Julie Is A Big Brother Expert
Julie is right that, although they were heartbroken, the Big Brother 26 houseguests had to evict T’kor while they had the chance. She had the potential to win the whole game if she made it to the final two. Angela made a smart move by saving Kimo with the Power of Veto, and Leah was brave to put up T’kor and have her evicted.
Although Julie’s choice of Angela as the houseguest who’s playing the best game seems shocking, it’s possible that she could be right about her chances of winning. Julie has had a front row seat for all 25 previous seasons of Big Brother, so she’s seen it all. She knows all of the ins and outs of the game, so she could definitely be right that Angela could take home the $750,000 prize.
Our Take On Julie Chen Moonves’ Choices For Who’s Playing The Best Big Brother 26 Game
Could Angela Really Win Big Brother 26?
Although Julie doesn’t have any say in who wins Big Brother 26, she has been watching the game very closely as host, so her opinion means a lot when predicting the winner. Julie is correct that the houseguests made a difficult but great choice in evicting T’kor from the game. She’s also correct that, if Chelsie can stop being so emotional about Cam, she has a good chance of winning.
However, Julie’s choice of Angela as the houseguest who’s playing the best game is questionable. Angela has been overly emotional and untrustworthy during the game. Although she was saved by the Power of Veto three times by three different houseguests–Tucker Des Lauriers, Leah, and Makensy–their moves were more about using her to further their own plans rather than any loyalty towards her. Makensy, Leah, and Chelsie are arguably playing better games than Angela because of their strategic moves.
While it’s important to note that Angela has won three competitions so far (two HOH and one Power of Veto), her social game could cost her everything. However, as Julie has told us time and again, we should always “expect the unexpected” when it comes to Big Brother, including the winner.
