'Big Brother 18' Cast: Julie Chen Reveals Who She Thinks Won't Win This Season [VIDEO]
The Big Brother 18 houseguests are past the halfway point of the season but host Julie Chen thinks some of them don't have a chance to win.
Making it this far into the Big Brother game is a pretty big accomplishment considering the mental and emotional toll it can take on anyone. Yet, even if you get far into the game, it doesn't mean you have a strong chance of winning.
Chen revealed the three people she thinks are least likely to win this season in a new interview with Entertainment Weekly.
"The least likely to win is kind of a dead heat between Zakiyah, Natalie, and Michelle," Chen stated. "They have not won anything or played very hard. They are just existing in the house."
Of course, Michelle actually did win the Power of Veto just last week and has made enough social bonds to avoid being nominated thus far. While Zakiyah hasn't won anything yet, she too has made strong bonds with the majority of the house and has avoided the block. Even if Natalie isn't in the majority, she has attached herself to James and together they've become a solid pair.
Now that we are in the second half of the season, it should be interesting to see if Michelle, Natalie or Zakiyah step it into high gear with more aggressive gameplay.
On the flip side, Chen spoke about recent evictee Da'Vonne playing too much of an aggressive game, much like she did in her original season, Big Brother 17.
"Da'Vonne played too hard too fast and didn't stick to her allies long enough," Chen said. "Even if you feel Tiffany and Frank have to go, wait until you don't need them or the numbers anymore to get rid of them. She had her foot on the pedal too hard."
Big Brother 18 airs Sundays and Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT and Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on CBS.
