Julie Chen Shocks 'Big Brother' Fans By Going Inside the House for First Competition of Season 27

Julie Chen shocked the audience and the houseguests during the season 27 premiere of Big Brother when she entered the house in the middle of the first competition.

The 55-year-old television personality and journalist, who has been hosting the CBS competition series since 2000, has always done her hosting duties from the stage outside of the house.

This marks an extremely rare instance of Julie being inside the house at the same time as the houseguests and certainly is the earliest the contestants have encountered her after entering the house.

With there being a mystery houseguest this season, fans are wondering if Julie could be the mystery guest?!

Well, it appears that the “mastermind” behind the first challenge might be the mystery houseguest. This person cause Julie to disappear. Zach found her and she said he will be rewarded for his efforts.

“HAS JULIE EVER BEEN IN THE HOUSE BEFORE???? #BB27,” one fan tweeted.

Another wrote, “Julie in the house during the game is so weird I don’t like it #BB27.”
