One ofJulie Chen Moonvesmost endearing qualities is that she never takes herself too seriously.

Just look at the way sheadopted the originally derisive nicknameof the Chenbot as her own.

How did it feel?

Big Brother

JULIE CHEN MOONVES:It felt strange.

All the safety precautions being taken are impressive and I am grateful.

That hope of mine extends to everyone watching the show as well.

A lot of big names returning for thisAll-Starsseason.

Who were you most excited to see back on that stage 12 feet away from you?

I think I had him winning it all in the office pool last summer.

I would love to see him last to finale night and then how far he can take it.

I loved his positivity and quiet wisdom.

We need more of that in this world!

But its impossible to NOT be excited to see Janelle!

So memorable, such a great competitor, personality for days, and funny.

Shes someone I always love to watch.

Julie, that table maze looked HARD!

Were you wondering if anyone from some of those groups would ever finish it in time?

And so did my 10-year-old son and my entire family watching with him!

Now THAT would be the unexpected!

Locked door to the Have Nots room!?

I mean…

Cody wins the first HOH of the season.

Smart move by him or not?I am going to say smart move.

Show people youre a competitor.

Make them your ally with the promise of taking them far with you in the game.

We know hes a man of his word.

You know he is trustworthy.

Finally, have they gotten the Have Not room open yet?

Hey, ya live and ya learn.
