‘Big Brother’s Julie Chen Moonves On Why Angela Murray Keeps Getting Saved From Eviction By Houseguests
SPOILER ALERT: This post details Big Brother Season 26 following the Week 7 eviction.
Big Brother host Julie Chen Moonves is weighing in on Angela Murray and why she keeps getting saved by houseguests.
More from Deadline
Murray has been put on the block several times throughout Season 26 but has been saved by her fellow housemates from eviction. The most recent came this past week when Leah Peters won the Power of Veto and pulled her off the block after Head of Household Quinn Martin put her up for eviction.
Although Martin asked Peters not to save Murray, she ultimately did what was better for her game, something that Chen Moonves approved of.
“Yes, because she acted with her heart,” Chen Moonves told EW after being asked if Peters made the right move. “When you act with your heart, it can’t be wrong. Plus she kept a big target in the house. Smart.”

Martin has expressed that he fears Murray will get carried to the final as they believe they have better chances of winning against her.
“I think people in the house genuinely like her and see her as a fun mom figure,” Chen Moonves said. “Plus they aren’t threatened by her so why not keep her ? Plus I bet they don’t want to get in trouble by their real moms by voting her out!”
Following the Week 7 eviction of Big Brother Season 26, the BB AI Arena has been closed and players will only have the Power of Veto competition to save themselves off the block.
