Hi y’all!

So, the feeds are online and there’s already drama in the house.  If you haven’t gotten the feeds yet and you want to, here’s the link: Big Brother Live Feeds!  Remember, getting your feeds from this blog helps Bill to pay for this site!

Now, as for what we’ve learned since the feeds went live:

Okay, you remember last year’s Den of Temptation?  Well. this year, they’re doing something similar. Over at the CBS site, there is a link that explains how to vote for “Who’s Trending.”  Basically, you’re asked five questions (a typical question is something like, “Who is the most entertaining?”) and whoever’s name is mentioned the most wins an App of Power while whoever is mentioned the least wins the Crapp App.  Basically, it’s just an overly complicated way of doing a popularity poll.

So, the first round of voting closed last night.  (A new round will begin shortly and apparently, it’s going to be a weekly thing.)  We already know that Faysal received the least votes.  As a result, whenever Big Brother announces that a food delivery from “Hamazon” is sitting in the storage room, Faysal has to go and eat the entire delivery.  Originally, the punishment was that Faysal was going to have to eat sliced ham, which goes against his religion.  So, they switched it out for slices of vegan ham, which is even more nasty.  Faysal has apparently actually been getting physically ill from having to eat the delivery.

As for who got the most votes … well, earlier today, Robot Sam told Tyler that she would be staying no matter what, which a lot of people are interpreting to mean that she won the power.  (Sam, incidentally, has only been a human on the feeds for a few hours.  She’s spent most of the time in robot form.)  Now, no one is sure what the power is and Sam was kind of intentionally vague about it.  Sam could be bluffing so who knows.  We’ll find out on Sunday!

As for the house itself, the HGs are pretty much divided into three groups:

There’s the Winston group, which is made up of Winston, Brett, Rachel, Angela, and Kaycee.  Winston and Brett have a bit of a bromance going on but Winston has been coming on way too strong.  Last night, he was a paranoid mess because he’s convinced that Haleigh’s been going around and spying on people.

Then, there’s Chris’s group, which is made up of Haleigh, Kaitlyn, Chris, Bayleigh, Faysal, and Angie.

And then there are the floaters: Scottie, Steve, Sam, JC, and Tyler.  Tyler and Haleigh may have a showmance going and Tyler definitely seems to be playing both sides of the house.  Tyler is a superfan who even watches Big Brother Canada but, whenever anyone talks to him about the game, he plays dumb and pretends that he’s never seen the show before.

As for the two nominees, Sam has spent most of her time in robot form but she might be safe because of the power.  As for Steve, he’s been trying really hard to fit in but it’s an obvious struggle for him.  Steve tends to be very loud when he talks to people and is trying a bit too hard to come across as being just a jovial guy.  Right now, depending on how the POV goes, it seems like either one could be the house’s target.

As for the veto comp, players were selected today.  Tyler, Sam, Steve, Faysal, Scottie and Chris.  JC will be hosting the competition.

That’s it for now!

Hi y’all!

If you haven’t seen tonight’s episode of Big Brother, everything below this sentence is pretty much going to be a SPOILER!  So, if you don’t want to know what happened tonight before you actually get a chance to see it for yourself, stop reading now.

Okay?

Okay!

So, tonight was a night of firsts.

We got our first HoH.  Tyler won the Head of Household competition.  Only the 8 houseguests who were eligible for eviction — Bayleigh, Tyler, Winston, Angela, JC, Steve, Kaitlyn, and Sam — were allowed to compete.  It was basically one of those competition where the houseguests had to run across a narrow beam and drop balls into plastic tubes.  Each tube represented a different player and if that tube got filled up with balls, the houseguest was eliminated.

(Big Brother always leads to me writing the most interesting of sentences.)

During the competition, Winston and Angela teamed up.  Bayleigh and Tyler teamed up.  JC specifically went out of his way to try to get eliminated.  Kaitlyn was pretty much a nonfactor.  Sam felt that everyone was working against her.  As for Steve, he kept falling off of the beam.  Ultimately, Tyler won HoH.

(Bayleigh was not happy about Tyler winning, largely because he started putting balls in her plastic tube before they had eliminated JC.  Bayleigh should be thankful.  The first HoH always gets a huge target on their back.)

Not only did we get our first HoH but we also got our first two alliances.

The Five bonded over Kaitlyn’s “life coaching” sessions and are made up of Chris, Angie, Kaitlyn, Haleigh, and Faysal.  Chris is also known as Swaggy C and Angie wants people to call her Rockstar.  I think I’ll continue to call them Chris and Angie.

The other alliance — which doesn’t have a name yet — is made up of Winston, Rachel, Brett, Angela, and Kaycee.  It’s basically a pretty person’s alliance.  Winston and Brett appear to have a pretty strong bromance going so we’ll have to see how long that lasts.

Both alliances immediately started to try to work on Tyler and, as of right now, Tyler seems more likely to join with Winston’s group than with Chris’s.  Chris was hoping that Tyler would take out a potential power player like Angela or Winston but, instead, Tyler nominated…

STEVE AND SAM!

I’m not surprised to see Steve nominated.  He’s the oldest guy in the house and he doesn’t seem to have much of a social game.  I feel bad for Sam because she had to spend the majority of the episode rolling around in robot form.  As a result, Sam has not been able to make any alliances or really even get to know anyone else in the house.  Her punishment seems totally out of proportion with Kaycee’s.  I mean, Kaycee is basically having to wear an ugly costume.  Sam, meanwhile, can’t even socialize.  Doesn’t seem fair.

So, to recap:

Our first HoH is Tyler.

Our first alliances are The Five vs. Winston’s group.

Sam and Steve are our first nominees.

And that’s it for now!  The feeds come online in just a few more hours so, if you want to get the full Big Brother experience, here’s the link to order them.  Remember that ordering them through this site helps Bill to pay for the blog!

Hi y’all!

So, before I talk about tonight’s show, I wanted to ask if everyone’s getting this blog in their email.  If you’re not, check your spam box.  If it’s not there, just let me know and I’ll email it to you personally.  Also, I know that the new commenting system takes some getting used to but I think we’re getting the hang of it.  As always, if you have any questions, feel free to ask either me or BBBlogger.

As for tonight’s premiere…

Well, it’s always hard to tell from the first episode.  The live feeds don’t start until tomorrow night and really, that’s the best way to judge everyone as a player.  But here are just a few thoughts about what we saw tonight:

First off, I am so happy that there aren’t any returning players!  When I saw all of those familiar faces out there in the audience, I was worried one or two of them might enter the house.  But no, we’ve got 16 new houseguests!  Here’s a few thoughts on each of them:

The first group to enter the house consisted of Bayleigh, Tyler, Winston, Angela, JC, Steve, Kaitlyn, and Sam.

Bayleigh was the first African-American Miss Missouri and now works for an airline.  She says she’s only as polite to customers as she needs to be.  Bayleigh seems to be hoping to charm her way to the win.  I like Bayleigh but she’s going to have to be willing to get her hands dirty if she wants to win.

Tyler … well, how can you not like Tyler?  He’s just so spacey!  (Rumor has it that he also won the first HoH.  We’ll find out tomorrow!)

Winston is a handsome, charismatic guy who loves to shoot guns.  He reminds me of several members of my family so I like him.

Angela is a fitness model and honestly, I think she’s going to freak everyone out by being too competitive.  She’s kind of putting a target on her back.

JC is short.  From what I’ve seen online, there doesn’t seem to be any middle ground with JC.  People either love him or hate him.  What they didn’t tell you on the show is that JC is not only a dancer but apparently an amateur porn actor.

Steve is trying too hard to be like Derrick.  I think he’s going to overplay his hand early and get voted out as a result.

Kaitlyn is a flaky life coach who judges people by their auras and who will probably be voted out early.

Sam is a welder with an accent thick as molasses.  I like Sam so I hope she survives the first week.

The 2nd group to enter the house were Chris, Angie, Brett, Rachel, Scottie, Haleigh, Kaycee, and Faysal.

Chris wants people to call him Swaggy C so I’m going to call him Chris.  Chris has said that Paul is his favorite player.  He’s very cocky and full of himself and I don’t think he’s going to be around as long as he thinks he is.

Angie wants people to call her Rockstar so I’m going to call her Angie.  Angie is one of those people who tries way too hard to be quirky.

Brett is cute but not quite as cute as Winston.

Rachel is friends with several people who have previously been on the show and, though we didn’t see much of her personality tonight, she’s said that she plans on emulating a previous Rachel, Rachel Reilly.

Scottie is this year’s nerdy virgin.  He’s 26 and he’s never been kissed, which is just weird.

Haliegh is this year’s country girl.  She’s an Aggie so, as a fellow Texan, I have to make fun of her.  It’s the law down here.

Kaycee is a football (and not a soccer, as I originally said) player and I thought she’d be a strong player until she ended up struggling through the first challenge.  More on that in a minute.

Faysal is this year’s big athletic guy.  Tonight’s show seemed to hint that we’ll get a showmance between him and Haleigh.

After everyone came in and introduced themselves, they promptly began the first competition of the season.  After Julie explained that this season is going to be all about technology, they were divided into two groups of 8.  One group —  Bayleigh, Tyler, Winston, Angela, JC, Steve, Kaitlyn, and Sam — had to wander around in the dark and search for seven files.  The other group — Chris, Angie, Brett, Rachel, Scottie, Haleigh, Kaycee, and Faysal — had to stack blocks while suspended in the air.  It was all kind of silly but, at the same time, kind of charming in its goofiness.

Anyway, the end results were that Angela and Chris won the first part of the comp and then had to face off during the second part.  They had to see who could maintain their balance on a surf board for the longest.  Chris won and, as a result, he was given the power to mark eight people safe for the first week.  Chris gave immunity to his original group: Chris, Angie, Brett, Rachel, Scottie, Haleigh, Kaycee, and Faysal.

Meanwhile, Sam and Kaycee came in last during the first part of the challenge so they were both punished.  Kaycee has to wear a unitard with pinwheel on it.  Whenever the wheel starts spinning, Kaycee is not allowed to move.  Sam, meanwhile, is a robot!  No, not really.  Instead, she’s locked away somewhere in the house, controlling a robot via remote control.  It’s kinda funny, to be honest.  I think that their punishments last through the first eviction period.

So, that’s where we are!  All in all, it was a pretty enjoyable episode and it makes me optimistic for this upcoming season!  Tomorrow, we’ll see who won the first HoH and then the feeds will go live!  If you haven’t bought feeds, go for it.  The first month’s free and it’s the best way to see what’s happening in the house.  Plus, it helps BBBlogger pay for this site!  Here’s the link: CBS All Access!

Hi everyone!

Well, we’ve only got one more day to go!  Tomorrow, the first episode of Big Brother 20 airs on CBS and I will be posting my first recap!  Woo hoo!

Here’s are the two rumors that I’ve heard:

1. There are no returning players.  According to some people who were in the audience for the first episode, no returning players were invited into the house.  As well, apparently no one has left the house yet.  So, if there are returning players, they didn’t replace or evict anyone in the house to make room for them.
2. Rumor has it that Tyler is the first HoH.

In other news:

I have just started the Big Brother Blog Facebook Group!  It’s another place for everyone to talk about not only Big Brother but also Survivor and The Amazing Race!  Everyone is invited and welcome to join and I hope to see all you there!  Here’s the link: Big Brother Blog Facebook Group!

Also, if you haven’t gotten your feeds yet, go for it!  You only get to see a very small percentage of what happens in the house on the CBS show and on Big Brother After Dark.  The feeds are a lot of fun and if you order them from this link, you’ll help Bill pay for this site: CBS Big Brother All Access!

Thank you everyone!  Let’s make this a great season!

Hey Big Brother Blog faithful. It is the one and only Big Brother Blogger dusting off the blog for the 20th official Big Brother season. #BB20

Now, before we go and start spreading any rumors, I am quite confident that there will be a Big Brother 21 and I have heard a celebrity Big Brother is again in the works. Version 2.0 I supposed. #rossgetshisrevenge However, Lisa Marie and I are going to be calling it quits at the conclusion of Big Brother 20. So this will be officially the swan song of Big Brother Blog.

No worries. There are tons of other places to go to enjoy Big Brother 21 and beyond. But this year, this year will be a fun year here on the one and only Big Brother Blog.

So sounds like we are in for a treat. The current rumor on Twitter is 16 new HG with 4 returning. As always, Expect the Unexpected and know that it will be as always a FUN RIDE!

If you want to support Big Brother Blog, buy CBS total access from any link on the blog. Old or new.

I love all of you guys and am thankful for the LIFETIME I have given to this blog. Please treat Lisa Marie nice…she is an angel and has kept this blog alive when it was starting to die.

Hope to chat soon!

Peace, BBBlogger

PS: Roll call…please comment and check in. We would like to make sure no one has been missed during our long off season!
