I have been waiting for this night since last season ended. So excited. So of course I am having some sort of weird medical issue. I feel like my blood pressure is high or something and heart is all racy. So I am just going to hit the highlights. Find out all about the cast here.
Jace, James, and Meg are introduced first. James is shown being an Asian redneck. Meg is shown being a loud mouth. Jace is shown being a douche. Audrey is shown being very girly. Austin is shown being a wrestler. Da’vonne is shown with her baby. Clay is shown being a farm boy. Shelli is shown staging a house. That is the first group of 8.
DaVonne, Shelli, Clay and Austin go in first. Davonne and Shelli hug right away. Clay is not so excited about Austin. Both girls are hot for Clay.
Audrey, James, Jace and Meg go in next. James is too stupid to find the bedrooms without asking for help. Did Shelli just tell Audrey that her name used to be Audrey? Shelli is a hugger.
It’s already time for champagne. Shelli’s teeth are WAY WAY WAY too white. Clay and Shelli both like each other instantly. Fastest showmance ever. Davonne lies and says she is a second grade teacher. Austin admits he used to wrestle but claims he has lots of injuries. James thinks Meg looks like Taylor Swift. James has a cut out of Taylor in his apartment. James loves Meg. Audrey admits that she is trans gender and Clay and Jace seemed shocked. Everyone else thought it was great. 
It looks like we are going to have battle of the block again this season. I hate battle of the block. But we haven’t seen the other eight people yet so it will be like last year with an HOH tonight and another one tomorrow I suspect.
The girls are talking about not letting the boys run the house. Davonne, Shelli and Audrey form the first alliance. The guys are talking about cookies.
Julie reveals the first twist. Battle of the Block is back.UGH. No one likes this news. The reason this is horrible is because all the weak people go home first.
It’s time for the HOH comp. Someone has to sit out. Davonne and Austin both want to do it. Davonne jumps in first and says she will do it if they promise not to nominate her. Everyone agrees. DaVonne is already killing it at this game.
Kevin Frasier from Entertainment Tonight is hosting a red carpet and Austin is in love with Kevin. I told you Kevin loves him some WeHo. The comp is called UFOh No! They have to stand on a plank and catch ten tomatoes without falling off the platform. The boys are out to an early lead. The balls are coming hard and the girls are struggling. Meg, Clay and Austin fell off as soon as the plank got hinky. After they fell they started housing them down with ketchup. Peking Duck Dynasty James is killing this comp. Big comeback by Jace and Audrey to tie James with five tomatoes. All four people fell off at the end. They are going to have to check the tape to see who was the last to fall. James wins. He deserves it. Everyone starts befriending James.
Julie announces a second twist. There will be a new twist every single week. The BB Takeover happens every week, someone or something comes in to takeover. No one has any idea what she means.
Julie tells us about the Twin Twist. We have a set of identical twins swapping in and out. If they last five weeks they both get to stay. This has already been done but it’s been YEARS. I forget who the twin is but Shelli is hiding something. If it is that, WTF will happen with Clay?
I hope Audrey, Jason and Vanessa form the 1st LGBT Alliance.
I’m glad to know you are covering BB.
I hope you feel better. You’ll need your energy and sleep.
The first challenge involved tomatoes. It must be a sign.
Funny!
Lmao Pip. I was thinking the same thing.
Good point. â

I think I’m going to like this group more than the second group. Why? Because a lot of them are from the South, baby! Didn’t Shelli say she had a twin brother? Hmmmmm. Liar.
I might have to watch BB just because you like it so much.
Me too! 🙂
@pip, tomatoes, really? It started here.
So happy BB is back!! Da’Vonne is an early favorite of mine, along with Meg (hope she isn’t too annoying)! Could Jason and Clay have been any more obvious with giving up on that HOH so early?! They should have given it at least a half-ass effort before ditching. I am so disappointed that they brought back the Battle of the Block, but I’m happy the twin twist is back! It worked well the first time in season 5, but it will be interesting to see how it plays out this time around.
Oops, not Jason, I meant Austin, the 6’5″ guy.
I can’t stand women who shriek and squeal like little girls. So I switched back to Master Chef very early on. I’ll try again tomorrow. I really DO want to like this.
Is Austin gay or straight?
Yes.

I was surprised Audrey announced she is trans the first thing in the house.Shelli said she is a twin, I think another guest is also, from your synopses on everyone. I don’t know if I could take two drooling Shelli’s. Clay is one gooood looking young man! I am thinking James may be easily underestimated in physical capacity. I thought it was akward, Kevin Fraser repeatedly saying look at yourself to James. Why? I like the house decor so much better than last year.
Tamara, it is all your fault that for the first time ever I wasted a summer on this show. Watching all the boring After Dark was my downfall into later and later sleeping progression..BB just heightened my stupid TV watching addiction. Here we go again, into the crack house.
Yeah, I thought Kevin Fraser sounded like a total jerk when he kept saying that to James. I’m pretty sure James knows he’s short and so what was Kevin’s point? Guess he just wanted to be a jerk. That was one of the reasons I was glad James won. Take THAT and put it where the sun don’t shine, Kevin Fraser, jerkwad 🙂
Shelli’s twin is a guy.
So she says, the whole game is to lie.
I stayed by TT’S side during last years big brother so I guess I will hang around here this year . I enjoy her narrative and views of the situation going on in the house. What drew me in last season was Tamara catching Caleb “beast mode cowboy” Reynolds lying about how he was this big war hero and his family owned half of Texas while he was so poor that he had to sing at truck stops for coins to keep from starving because his mom was so poor.
This was a great first night. My first impression roses go to Austin and DaVonne. I really like them (for now). It’s so funny, because I didn’t read your “meet the hg’s” post until after tonight’s show because I needed to try and remember who was who. Therfore I had no idea there was a twin, but at the end of the show when they gave a quick intro of the next batch, as soon as they showed Liz I said “She’s the twin!”. Maybe I should start betting on this season. Lol
I’m really bummed about botb too. I find it hard to believe that that’s a fan favorite. Ugh. I also don’t know if I like this new twist every week thing. It really leaves the door way too open for a LOT of production manipulation. I would love it if they would try to do a season old school style. I wonder if it would be too boring or the best thing ever.
Audrey is beautiful! Never would have known in a million years if I met her. She doesn’t look like she used to be a guy at all, except maybe just a tad for the eyebrow ridge in profile view. The New Yorker girl got on my nerves right from the get go in her intro. I don’t know why BB always picks the worst New Yorkers! I also have a feeling that Shelli is going to blow the girl’s alliance, and very shortly. She’s too into the whole romance thing and will probably out them to her heart murmur crush Clay.
Can’t wait for tomorrow night!
@Lori-
I don’t like the battle of the block either, and I don’t think anyone else does.
And I thought the exact same thing as you… The twist every week will allow producers to manipulate the show to their liking. That bums me out.
My guess is that the last twist will be America will decide the weekly twist so they can claim we picked it not the producers therefore no manipulation.
It’s Liz who has an identical twin. She the one that has a weird voice, sits like a man and just SCREAMS transgender, only supposedly she’s not. Not the hamster I would have made two of if I were God.
For some reason, my spider senses are telling me Clay is the twin.
Wishful thinking. It’s Liz who is the twin unfortunately. And is that what is wrong with Liz’s voice? Excessive vomiting?

Another thing about Liz. When they brought her in to be interviewed, one of the interviews tweet a photo of her with a full like facial covering and her handler was leading her around. She was the only one they did that with. WTF is up with that?

I hated her first. 🙂

Me too!!!! She is fake cheerful, she keeps telling everyone she is from New York and what the hell is she wearing? Shorts, some sort of a midriff top and vest thingy in almost every ensemble. YUCK!
She’s trying too hard. It’s exhausting. Kind of weird but I thought I recognized her lady friend from her intro. Did anyone else? Who is she & why did she look familiar? >
Audrey is very pretty. Meg is super annoying. I couldn’t live in a house with her for any amount of money. I bet she is loud too. Ugg. I like this group. Excited the season has started! ♡♡ TT hope your birthday was fabulously fabulous.
Austin is my favorite but that’s no surprise (I love the gays).
Also, it only took me 3 seconds to figure out that Liz (coming in tomorrow night) is bulimic. Allegedly. I can hear it in her voice (it’s my super power).
I can’t reply to your comment asking about Meg’s friend from her intro video, so I’ll reply here. If it’s ok?
I also recognized her friend. I think that she was on Survivor before.
@ Angie-
Yes!!!
I think her name is Andrea and she was definitely on Survivor! Good call! I couldn’t place her and it was driving me nuts!
It’s Andrea Boehlke from Survivor: Redemption Island and Caramoan.
Andrea will be handling Meg’s twitter account until she is voted out of the house. (hopefully first)
I live for BB every summer. I love this show. Austin looks just like Dan, a previous winner of BB. Did anybody else notice?
Um, you know Austin is the gigantic wrestler guy right?

Yes, he definitely favors Dan (the non 6’5″ part of him anyway). : )
Yes I’ve many people have the said the same thing about the resemblance, and I see it too.
I wonder who James will put up? I would say MEG will be up for sure. She is not in the girls alliance, or at least wasn’t at that point. The problem with Battle of the Block is the way it works is you have to be sure your nominations LOSE.so that you remain HOH and your nominations stick. The guys are all athletic so he won’t choose them (which is why I hate Battle of the Block) So I suppose he will put up Meg and Shelli. Allison (production) tweeted the other day that alliances and showmances had started and already started falling apart the other day. Shelli on the block could cause problems with her girls alliance and her Showmance with Clay.
I wonder why they had the eighth player sit out the HOH. We know two more Hamsters will be added after the second group of eight enters. I can’t figure out if that has something to do with it or not. Uually they all play for first HOH.
Does anyone have any idea what the reasoning could be?
There are only 6 hamsters left. I think the other two will be part of the TAKEOVER this week. The rumor is that Jeff and Jackie blind daters on the last season of Amazing Race will be the other two. They are so boring I can’t even place who they are or remember a single thing about them.
Not sure what the sitting out the first HOH twist will be. I hope Da’ Vonne is not in peril. She’s going to be a smart player.

.Aren’t there six HGs entering tonight? I’m wondering if DaVoone, who offered to sit out the HOH will be made to join the six newbies. That wil even out the teams.
They had eight stations set up for the competition. They had room for the eight.
That’s the only thing that makes sense to me. When the Amazing Racers come in
Ah that makes sense. But why did they send them in 8 and 6 rather than 7 and 7 in the first place? Were there really 8 planks or only 7? I do sort of think the takeover will be the TAR people or whoever the last two are and they will have immunity so moving Day to the other side would make since. Only I hate that for Day because the first group to me seemed like people they want to keep safe. The hot guy, the transgender, the Asian redneck, the loud mouth recruit from new York, Hayden 2.0 etc.
I’m not sure if this will be a good or a bad thing for Day.

There will be 16 HG in total. There are 16 key slots in the wall. This season is the longest season at 98 days. You need a lot of HG to fill that time, more than 14.
Since there are weekly twists, I would expect double or triple evictions, a chance for an evicted HG to return into the game, & possible a new late arrival HG.
This is a season of nothing but twists called the “BB Takeover” which basically means the producers are gonna do whatever the fuck they want to attempt to manipulate the outcome they want for their favorite HG to win the game.
BBTakeover—>>>Weekly Twists (at productions discretion)= Production manipulation (at productions discretion).
I already can anticipate my headache from the all the headbanging I’m gonna do this season.
I forgot to add that there is also the possibility that the Twin will be a HG after week 5. So in overall there are at least 17 possible HG in total after week 5.
I don’t know if he’ll put Meg up because he was crushing on her. Said she reminded the old country boy of Taylor Swift. I hope someone does though.
Oh she. I totally forgot about that Lori. You are probably right so that leaves Shelli and Audrey? He’s an idiot if he puts Audrey up, because she is very athletic. If I were him I put up Meg twice if I could lol and Shelli because she’s not much of a physical threat or overly intellectual.
This Battle of the block crap is just a form of vagicide.

James will probably put up 2 from tonight’s group. The hamsters usually break down into “them” & “us” over any little thing. Having 2 groups will probably be enough to cause a rift for the first week, at least. Unless he can only choose from his group… >
He can only choose from his group. Which will not include Day it seems. So Day is in danger of going on the block ON THE OTHER TEAM. These teams will stay for however long BotB goes on which is why it sucks. The same people go up week after week.

Last year it didn’t have to be from their group.
I was a big BB fan until the manipulations by the producers becamse SO obvious that the game was rigged. It’s also difficult to watch the actual broadcast show if you watch the live feeds (or read the transcripts online) but I will give it a try once again.
My only impression from last night is that it’s silly to make an alliance on the first night before you even get a look at the rest of the HGs. And Audrey will be a fierce competitor! I can’t wait to see how the poker player and the Vegas dealer will get along!
You might not be able to stand this season, cammie, there is a production twist every week to allow them to do whatever they want to keep their pets.

I agree, Cam. Production interference is a big problem with this show.
Why the fuck does production meddle with every reality show? It’s so much better when it’s authentic.
However, I am going to watch along with the rest of you and try not to grumble too much about production. I just wish they didn’t think they knew more than us about what we, the viewers want. They don’t.
Off topic, but I always like to find out who you guys are based on your favorite and least favorite players of past seasons. I’m looking forward to hearing your answers. Especially you, Tamara.
I can tell you, my faves are a tie between Dan Geesling and Dr Will.
My worst is Evil Dick. Anyone else wanna share?
I will play…. Favs.: Dan/ Janelle /Donny worst is Boogie & Rachel Riley! .Boogie is a disgusting vile human being who may be going to jail for embezzlement.
I agree wth you. I loved Janelle and hated both Boogie and Rachel Riley! Boogie was just gross, disgusting and misogynistic. Rachel was obnoxious. That hair flipping and horrible laugh. Ugh!
I also hated Ivette and Cappy.
Big Brother is entirely producer driven. Every week things seem to be going the way the feedsters want it and then the person making the decision is called into DR and pummeled until the change their minds. This year though, we have feedsters in the house, so maybe they won’t be as easy to sway.
I thought Derrick played an outstanding game. I like Dan. I like the Gay guy who was a college teacher whose name I forget that a lot of people hated. I liked Jani, hated Evel Dick on his season but liked him better after his season. Hated the entire summer of racism. Hated most everyone last season.

I checked out during one season which I can’t remember now what about it disgusted me. It might have been the racist season, or the orgy season depending on which came first. I always peek in here every season so even when I didn’t watch I usually knew what was happening on a very basic level, but not enough to have any favies from the most recent seasons.
I despised Dick’s tactics, but…they were working so I could definitely see why he kept it up. I disliked Danielle. I thought Dan played an awesome game and I loved that older woman he bonded with whose name I can’t remember. She was a hoot. Loved Jeff and Jordan, and still think Shelly from season 13 is the show’s biggest snake EVER. The best all time player has to be-yes, Rachel Riley. That girl could pivot endlessly, devise strategy brilliantly, and know just what to say to gain cooperation for her plan.
I love BB! I have watched each season! Liz is the one who has a twin. This was done in the past. They both made it in the show but then got voted off right after. So we will see how it goes this time. I hate Meg. I can’t stand her and her voice. So, far I like Clay and Audrey. I hope this year they do a all girls alliance. I hope a girl wins! I hope to see my favorites back for the bb takeover! Don’t forget to watch bb afterdark on pop tonight!!
Well at the “the brother” isn’t on this season. If they bring that douchebag back for ONE thing, I’m done. I fucking hate him. The look on his face when he wasn’t named fan favorite was the best thing ever!
Oh he will be the TAKEOVER person for at least one week. Bank on it. Grodner is delusional and thinks he is popular with the viewers.
He may be popular with the casuals (people who just watch the show and take it at face value) but he is hated by the feeders/superfans.

I wonder if one guest I’ll be Frank. He was the smelly tall guy that was on the season Dan and the coaches returned. His dad was a wrestler. He might know who Austin is. When guest come in IMO Nader if they will be allowed to fuck with the HGs head and give them info on the others, be it true or false.
I think the Takeover person (unless it is the TAR people this week) will just announce the weekly twist. I don’t think they will get to stay in the house. Who knows though.

That’s definitely a possibility deco. There was this really really bad reality show on last summer with these stupid couples in a house, and each week they’d bring in someone they knew to rattle things up. I couldn’t believe I even watched the show it was sooooo bad and cheesy. Lol Then also did that on last seasons the real world too.
Oh crap. They aren’t going to do like they did on Real World and bring in an enemy are they? That would be so unfair, especially to the first few people. That would be awful.

The look on his face was priceless! I must have rewound that five times. THAT was good TV. He was absolutely stunned.
I can’t finish my reply to TT in the reply box, it keeps freezing and I can’t complete my sentence. Then I can’t remember what it was. Lol
I think DaVonne will be placed on the new team of six and then the AR-ers will be placed on the teams of seven. One each, rounding out the 16
I really hope the surprise guest tonight is not that singers brother. He’s such a douche. I dread seeing him on my set again but he’s been all over BB interviews and blogs
I’m trying to prepare myself for the brother’s return but I’m not quite there yet. Who am I kidding? I’ll never get there. I have a friend who is friends with him & it’s really put a damper on our friendship. I’m not comfortable being only 2 degrees away. >

I usually do not read/watch the house guest interviews until after I have seen them enter the house. I like to form my own opinion first. Why the hell is Vanessa Rousseau going to do Big Brother? She is a damn good poker player and is one of the top money winners among the women players. That is an interesting twist she is going to have to hide. If the house finds out she is going to suffer from the” she doesn’t need it” rhetoric that goes on. This is looking to be an interesting season!
I wondered exactly the same thing. Very first impression I thought maybe she had a great chance of winning. Then she talked a little more and agreed to step out of the hoh comp and I changed my mind but if she is a multi million dollar poker player is this just an interesting experiment for her? Wouldn’t this be not worth her time?
POP is rerunning last night’s episode before they run After Dark. And it reminded me ask why the hell no one is talking about Julie Chen’s entire get up last night. The dress looked like a menstruating vagina and WTF was going on with her hair? She is usually so elegant and chic. WTF?

I totally see Audrey as trans gender … not that there’s anything wrong with that! I see it in her head shape and movements. I would feel threatened in a physical confrontation with her, more than any of the other gals in the house.
The recap for tonight’s episode will be by Lady Cocotte and it will be up shortly.
Here are my random thoughts. John must die. Even before Meg, John the dentist must be eliminated. I love Steve and Jason and hope they hook up. In an alliance or a relationship. I don’t care. Jace is kind of douchey and calls the girls sweetheart. Liz is obnoxious and off putting to the females. Jason said he would hang on to whatever as long as it took to win the first HOH! And he did. I love him. Apparently so does production, it didn’t look like he was even being pulled. I hate Liz.
Wow. You just wrote everything I was going to say.
Is it just me, or are a lot of these people desperate to be clones of last season’s members?
Cosigning on johns death. Love Jason. And Im impatiently waiting for recap because tornadoes here in NC cut off most of the show so we could watch Doppler instead!! Grrrrrrr
Yay, it’s back! James surprisingly impressed me. I want to know more about Austin. Nah to Clay. Ah, Kevin Frasier….I could get with that. I’m thinking I’m not going to like the second group….taping it now to watch later.
Why are the sentences hashed over so thy cannot be read? Hacked.?
