After each eviction onCelebrity Big Brother, Julie Chen has agreed to answer some of our burning questions.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Ariadnas meltdown must have thrown you all for a loop.
On the West Coast, it cut to a commercial real quick but then went back to telecast.

My opinion was, let it live a moment.
Let this moment live and just observe.
What can you say at that moment?
You just have to watch.
Its more real than anything you see on reality TV.
It wasnt scripted, it wasnt playing for the cameras.
It was real life and it was relatable.
Showed how big her heart is.
I didnt know on West Coast they cut to commercial.
Everyone really liked talking about what a great player Shannon was or could have been.
Do YOU think she was that good?Shannon.
You know how some people are book smart but not street smart?
Valedictorian of the school ofBig Brother, but not the best when it comes to her social game.
She is the opposite of Omarosa.
Omarosa is a master at manipulating people and playing the social game.
Cant take my eyes off of her.
Simply put, Shannon just isnt a phony.
Julie, Im concerned about Mettas mental health.
Should I have reason to be worried?Nah.
He is on another planet.
A good one though.
I like him more and more everyday (and not just because hes from Queens like me)!
He has really turned around his hot tempered former self to a chilled out person.
I think the love of his wife also keeps him grounded.
You brought up how the celebrities have been in the house 17 days now.
Thats long enough to judge them!
How do you think they compare to the civilians in terms of play?
Are they more candid?
Are they more hot-tempered?
Are they more honest?The celebrities quickly became just like any other group of houseguests.
And they are not concerned about their celebrity image.
They are there to compete and win and I love that!
He seems more image savvy then the others.
He doesnt really seem like hes playing the game.
Hes kind of just keeping his cool guy image and its actually serving him well in the House.
All that and yet I think what we see is who he really is in life.
A nice guy who is smart and chill and just gets it.
He gets what life is really all about and has a strong sense of self.I like him.
Hes not aBig Brothergamer, but his diary room sessions are dead on.
He gets everything thats going on in the house and he gets who everyone is.
Hes no dummy hes a good guy.
We have to chat about the celebrities and their vanity in the house.
Even her warmup outfits are bedazzled.
She does her makeup a lot in the house but I love watching all that.
I love that Brandi has a robe you would see on a soap opera…very glamorous and silky.
And I love that she is always doing face masks.
Everyone is dressing the way I would imagine in their real life.
Nothing has surprised me.
Well, again, Ariadna being on the dressy side constantly was a little surprising.
I chalk it up to her old school Colombia upbringing ways.
I bet she went to Catholic school growing up (I did).
I like that she always looks like a lady.
It raises my game.
Also, I like seeing Omarosa in her glasses and sweats.
It makes her seem more genuine.
I want to see the good in everyone.
With Omarosa it might be just that she wears glasses?!!
Speaking of which, did you go intoCelebrity Big Brotherwith a specific style in mind for yourself?
She is a genius.
I trust her a thousand percent.
But it is Southern California, so….).
But yes, I think she turned it up a notch when she heard it was a celebrity edition.
Its back to my athleisure wear.
Fancy way of saying sweats and sneakers.
