I’m so excited for the new Celebrity Big Brother! Let’s go Kandi! I have not signed up for the live feeds yet. I am afraid I would watch them all the time instead of getting my work done here. Also, the show is on like four times a week and I am sure I won’t be able to watch are recap them all due to scheduling conflicts. I’ll do as many as I can though! Big Brother is one of the few shows on this site that in not spoiler free. All live feeds updates are welcomed in comments from those who have the feeds, so skip the comments if you don’t want to know. Actually, I will probably spoil from time to time in the posts for this show so if you don’t want to know what is happening live you might want to skip these.
The first group to enter the house consists of these six people, Ryan Lochte is such a douchebag. He’s training for 2020? No, just no. He swears he is reformed now that he has a wife, a kid and another on the way. Natalie is a prowrestler on WWE. She is the one with the purple hair. I think she is a villain in the ring. She’s superfan. Tom Green is a bizarre comedian. Lolo Green is an Olympic athlete in both winter and summer sports. She’s still a virgin. Why is she not on The Bachelor right now? She’d be perfect for Colton!Kato seems pretty fun. Tamar is a superfan!
For the first time Big Brother watchers, the superfans will have the advantage of understanding how the game is played so Natalie and Tamar are the two to watch out for in this group. Tamar freaks out when she goes in the house. She claims she is not going to tell the house she is a superfan, but her excitement says it all. One minute in, and I predict Tom Green will be first out.
My Gawd! Tamar is shoving food in her mouth like she’s been in solitary confinement with nothing but bread and water for a decade. She not even swallowing. There are 24 bites of food in her mouth at once! It’s grapes. Perhaps she is practicing for next NYE when some folks eat 12 grapes in a minute. Tom Green deadpans, “How are the grapes?” Okay I like Tom Green now I hope he stays. I need the meme of Tamar gorging on grapes.
Group two has the following “stars.” Joey Lawrence from Blossom seems to be close to Kandi in the house from the few minutes of leaked live feeds. Dina Lohan calls herself the OG Momager. Jonathan Bennett was in Mean Girls with Lindsay. He is a host on the Food Network. YAY! Kandi looks amazing. Kandi says she can’t hide her emotions or her facial expressions. She still plans to win because she says, “I win at everything.” Ricky Williams is a retired NFL player. Now he is studying Chinese medicine. I wonder if he could rub this knot out of my butt. What? He’s practically a doctor. The Mooch! is just The Mooch! He is the Omarosa of the season who will be leaking White House stories.
When group two goes in, all the ladies attack Kandi with hugs, obviously they are RHOA fans. Well all except one. Tamar keeps her distance. She finally goes over and gives her a big dramatic hug. Cut to the diary room where Kandi explains that her past with Tamar has had its ups and downs. This should be interesting. In her diary room Tamar says she’s not really excited to see Kandi. Okay, I need Tom Green to stay forever. Ricky Williams is a fan of Kandi and Xscape. Ricky and Tamar and Tom are all excited about Joey. Ryan is already being dumb.
Julie announces that the will be competing in the first HOH competition in pairs. One member of the winning pair will become HOH. (That’s Head of Household, for you newbies, they have the power to nominate people to be voted out). Only five pairs will be competing in the challenge. The sixth pair has to sit out and will not be eligible to win HOH.
A “random draw” (lol) has Ryan choosing his partner first. He chooses Jonathan because he thinks he is smart. Anyone is smarter than Ryan. Jonathan picks Tamar to choose next. She chooses Kandi! I am SHOOKETH. Kandi chooses Joey to go next and he chooses Ricky. Ricky chooses Lolo and she chooses Tom. Lolo says she chose Tom because she doesn’t want to win the first HOH and she can blame the loss on him. Throwing the first challenge is smart, but Tom will probably do well in a mental competition. Don’t let his weird humor fool you, he’s a smart cookie. Tom chooses Dina there are three people left…Natalie, The Mooch and Kato. Whoever isn’t picked will not play. Dina chooses Anthony. Kato and Natalie were just the last two kids (not) picked for dodgeball on national TV. I don’t care how old you are that has to sting. Dina says she picked The Mooch because she could not remember the other two people’s names. Julie tells Kato and Natalie they are safe for the first eviction.
Wow, the first competition looks like it is going to be endurance! They are trying to make me buy the feeds! But it can’t really be an endurance comp on the feeds because they have been in the house for days and this is not a live show. The comp has the teammates both on swings with a large “champagne glass.” They have to transfer champagne (water) from the overflowing bottle (stream of water) to their partner’s glass. Then the partner transfers it to champagne glass until there is enough water to make a bubble (ball) spill out of the glass.
No one can get their swings started. It’s hilarious. Kandi says, “This is not working, and I know I can swing!” So we’ve heard, Kandi. So we’ve heard. Kandi and Tamar are not doing well at all. Really on Ryan and Jonathan are making any progress at all. This challenge must have taken hours. Meanwhile, Natalie is being a bitch to Kato on the sidelines. She lecturing him about how he cheers for the others. He’s not bleeping doing it right. Bleepity, bleep, bleep. I hate Natalie already.
Kandi’s arms are too short to reach the stream of water and Tamar is getting pissed. Tom is doing well and Lolo decides she really wants to be Ryan who is in the lead with his partner Jonathan. Oh! PoP is going to run late night live feeds. That is all I need! This will be awesome! I don’t think Kandi and Tamar got a single drop in. Ryan and Jonathan won. Ugh.
Either Ryan or Jonathan will be HOH. They must battle each other. The winner is HOH and the loser is the first nominee of the season. Wow. They are not playing around this season. That is where they leave us.
Overall, I love this group. Julie ends the show with, “I’m Julie Chen Moonves, Good Night!” On the last season of regular Big Brother Les Moonves was accused of all sorts of things. Juile used to end the show with, “I’m Julie Chen.” Then she added the Moonves to make a statement that she stands by her man. Looks like that devotion continues.
Big Brother After Dark starts tonight on POP at midnight EST.
So what did you think?
I’m so excited for this new season and I’m gonna try and catch every episode if I can. It’s a lot of like minded and competitive folks in the house so it’s definitely gonna be messy. Tamar was the entertainment for tonight’s episode, so hopefully she stays for awhile.
Kandi explained in a clip that cbs cut out that the reason she and Tamar don’t really get along is because Tamar brought out people on Xscape’s tour that had been talking negatively about her and her friends and that’s why it’s so much friction. Tamar says otherwise so 🤷🏼♀️
All in all I’m all in for this season and the cast.
My DVR recorded “After Dark” tonight and it was Without a Trace. There was a brief thing on the screen a couple minutes in that said that AD starts tomorrow night, I think it was supposed to start tonight and they didn’t for some reason.Who is watching live feeds tonight?
No, it is/was scheduled to start Tuesday night at Midnight- not the first night the show aired, no mistake for POPTV.
I stand corrected.
In other news. I am excited we are developing a late night crew who will hopefully update us on the feeds.
I’ve watched every season of Big Brother. When I taught elementary school I had to be at school by 7:15 and the school was one house away. I’d get up and the houseguests would still be up and it was so hard to tear myself away to go to work!
It’s four am now and I really promised myself I would go to bed earlier tonight. I’m super tired but I fight bedtime like a two year ole.
Fighting bedtime: Me too, and I’ve always been this way so part of me wonders why I don’t just embrace it. The other part keeps sorta kinda trying to be a grown-up 53 year-old. Anyway, I’m all in for this season of CBB and I will probably cave today and get the feeds. I live for them during the regular BB season and I thought I could be disciplined and do without for CBB but who am I kidding?
Dina picked Anthony because he is exactly her type. Between the lying and the scheming I think those two could go far if they ban together. I like Kandi, but I’m sure sure if this is her game. And Tom Green has always been so hilarious, until Drew Barrymore married him and seemingly ruined his career.
😈 Devil on Tamara’s shoulder: “Subscribe to the live feeds. You really, really need the live feeds.” 😈 Actually, between Big Brother After Dark and people posting feed clips on Twitter, you should be good.
It was a fun episode. That HOH comp looked super difficult but didn’t any of them ever swing on swings during recess in grade school?? It’s not that hard! Poor Kandi and her tiny T-Rex arms!
I hope both Kandi and Tamar stay a couple weeks. The extended Diary Room clips online of Kandi and Tamar explaining their feud make me think it’s unlikely they’ll work together on CBB.
The reason I don’t listen to podcasts often or watch things online is I am sort of addicted to the TV and have so many thing to recap and things I want to watch that are real dramatic television, that it is literally always on. I work with the TV on. If I am watching live feeds I can’t even write a regular post let alone a live feed. So I think four hours a day, one episode and three hours of feeds is more than I can handle already. 🙂
Next time you go to a park try to start swinging without a push or taking a running start of the ground. It’s super hard to start swinging in mid air. Only the Olympic athletes were able to get themselves going enough to complete the challenge.
Although a regular park swing may not be a challenge to get going, I’d have to think a ‘gigantic’ swing such as the ones they were on, strapped in, up in the air, first challenge of a competition reality show on TV more than likely made it difficult, as it did appear.
I don’t think Big Brother After Dark is on tonight. I think it starts tomorrow night. At least that what my guide is saying on my TV. Does anyone know? I hope my guide is wrong!!
I’m a superfan too. I hope CBB will be as entertaining as last year. I miss Ross already.
Tamar and Kandi were so funny during the comp. And, Ryan picked Jonathan because cupcakes makes him smart?? What the…
The comment Ryan made about cupcakes making him smart almost had me in tears. However the mean girl reference Jonathan made was also great.
Really! Wth? I’m picking him because he’s obviously smart! “He knows all about cupcakes”
Said no one EVER in the history of the world…until now.
I love the live feeds, but it is too addictive and the good things happen after dark. They usually sleep all morning. I wish I could waste hours and hours watching live feeds, but I can’t this season. So sad.
I’m excited. I wish the premier was 2 hours or something. I really like everyone so far except Kato is really irritating and not funny. He’s trying way too hard for the cameras. Tamar it seems will definitely bring drama to the house which we need.
Tamar was the first one in the house so she won’t win. The first person in the house has never won. I was hoping it would be Ryan but he held the door.
This was my first time watching any type of Big Brother and this random mix of ppl had me totally hooked. The man was equally invested too, which never happens unless it’s Top Chef. I explained who the reality ppl were and what they were like and boy did Ryan Lochte not disappoint with his not so intellectual self. You just can’t script the things that guy says. I’d love thought bubbles to appear over his head; I’m aware there probably wouldn’t be many but I’m here for it. Apparently I’m here for the season! Love Kandi too! I think she’ll be underestimated and make it quite far in the house.
From one feedster to another, you know darn well you’ll miss too much if you don’t do the feeds. It’s only 4 weeks and it’s Winter. This house is going to be nuts.
Tamar and Kandi won’t make nice nice forever! 😉
Not a fan of Big Brother but excited to see/read on what happens between Kandi and Tamar. Ever since Tamar was fired from The Real and stop being friends with the upper echelons of Atlanta, I’ve never seen her the same. If Kandi and Tamar get into it, one is to hope Kandi gets all Hood status like the way she did with Malories (Cynthia sister/I know I spelled her name wrong) during the pillow talk scene.
Omg 😲 I completely forgot this was starting!! Going to DVR it asap.
Me, too! It happens every season – I don’t watch the regular channels very much and only get reminded of Celebrity Big Brother when Tamara recaps it. Looks like a really good bunch of roommates this year!
I saw Olympic skier Gus Kenworthy on Beat Bobby Flay today. The difference between Gus and Lotke is Grand Canyonesque. Gus is INTELLIGENT, WITTY and CHARMING! Everything Locke is not. I cannot see him without thinking of the stuff Joan Rivers 😭 used to say. 😂
I’m the lone weirdo from Australia who is so excited by Tom Green being on the show (i still know the theme song from the Tom Green Show decades later) that I WILL find a way to watch it.
And, er, go Kandi!? Apart from RHOA and knowing Dina is Lindsay’s mother, i don’t really understand the rest.
But I’m here for Tom. If they have gross challenges, he’ll kick ass. I saw him crack an emu egg into a glass on Late Night With Conan O’Brian and swallow the whole thing. Off the cuff, during another guest’s segment. In the words of Erika Jayne, he’s a ‘sniper from the side’. Go Tom!
I enjoyed Tom Green tonight. I think I liked him back in the Drew Barrymore days.
I just read that Lolo is 36 and a virgin. When she said she was a virgin I just assumed she was well NOT 36!!!!!!!
Also, the feeds are not live yet and I am pretty sure they were supposed to start tonight. Now I want to know WTF is going on in there1
Lolo takes her virginity seriously. I watched with her on one of the Challenge MTV shows. I like her. Shes quite sensitive and insecure though. I hope she froze some of her eggs when she was 20.
You’re not alone, I’m a Tom Green fan from way-back in the day. I think he and Drew had a bad break-up and he didn’t fare well. He’s smart and funny and that usually goes along way in the BB house. I hope.
I’m super excited about this cast. I’m familiar with all of them except the wrestler. I think Tom Green, Kandi and the hippie football player should team up. They’d have brains and some brawn. Tom’s levity could offset Kandi’s faces. I’m also rooting for Jonathon because Cupcake Wars is my dog’s favorite show (I can’t explain it).
Lolo Jones has been on a couple of seasons of MTV’s Challenge: Champs vs Stars. She learned how to play the game from Wes. She’s cutthroat but sometimes her ego gets in the way. It’ll be interesting to see her on a mostly social game.
Wait! Lolo went on The Challenge and didn’t get laid? I could get laid on The Challenge. If Wes coached her, she should do well on CBB.
The Internet that cause a couple of 15 minute sneak peeks said that it looked like Kandi and Joey might be a thing…. an alliance.
They weren’t all cooped up in the same house on The Challenge Champs vs Stars so that’s why she was able to not get laid while doing that show. LOL
They totally are all cooped up in the same house and fuck like rabbits.
LOL, that was funny. She was on The Challenge and all they do is sleep around and drink, too much!! I am team Tom Green, although I am a Kandi fan, I hope Tom takes it home!
Okay, I kinda love you because of this, and no explanation is necessary….
.I’m also rooting for Jonathon because Cupcake Wars is my dog’s favorite show (I can’t explain it).
I love you for this and no explanation is necessary…
I’m also rooting for Jonathon because Cupcake Wars is my dog’s favorite show (I can’t explain it).
Do my dogs need to be watching Cupcake Wars? I have a cat that watches TV but the dogs only react to doorbells on commercials.
Banjp almost never watches TV. But the TV is on top of his cage so he lives under the TV which is on 24/7. He does love when The Voice is on because sometimes I sing along off key and he loves that. I think it because I used to sing to him when he was a puppy and had some major health issues.
Perhaps he would enjoy Cupcake Wars? Who knew?
Aww, I think that’s so sweet that you used to sing to Banjo when he was a baby.
We really didn’t need to know Lolo is a virgin, doesn’t matter in this game!! Having the 2 Winners of the Competition have to do another Challenge to decide who gets the real HOH… certainly was an UNexpected move. The worst part is the other Winner has to go On The Block! that’s not cool! SPOILER: Ryan wins it.
Don’t forget not only the 2nd part of First Episode airing tonight, Tuesday but Wednesday and Friday the show will also be airing, having the Nomination for the other Nominee for The Block and then the POV! Let the Games begin!
In order to be a perfect match for Bachelor Colton, Lolo would have to be a gay man.
Really? That’s disappointing. And he’s such a good kisser, too.
well true….
I think that signing off as Julie Chen Moonves was a bad move for the Chenbot. No way to walk that back. If she tries to drop the Moonves now it will become a huge deal.
The Mooch looked like a child sitting on that swing in his oversized suit, lol
How is it even possible to ram that many grapes into one’s mouth like that??
It makes my skin crawl every time she refers to herself as Julie Chen Moonves. It’s like she has zero regard for the fact that the women her husband hurt probably just want him to disappear.
Why when he was her boss did she refer to herself as Julie Chen. But now that he is a proven sexual assalant she uses his name? Just feels super unclassy. I’m really hoping CBS puts an end to her statement she is trying to make.
She is using her married name to signify she stands behind her husband. CBS can’t stop her from using her married name.
I’m so excited for this season!
Kandi hanging off that swing was hilarous. Tamar is on my nerves already. She was shoving those grapes in her mouth to keep from talking about people which isn’t going to last long. Tamar was also making faces and gesturing like she did on the Braxtons which drove her sisters (and me) crazy.
I can’t wait for tonight’s episode!
Really? That’s disappointing. And he’s such a good kisser, too.
TT: Something odd is going on with your site. The post about Teresa’s zero,parenting skills doesn’t show up. I only found it last night because people had commented. I would think it was just my tablet, but there are no new comments and the odds of that are slim. Thanks, sorry. Don’t kill the messenger.
This time I am the big idiot. I saw the comments on Jan. 20. I did not see the YEAR. The comments were Jan. 20, 2019. The post was the same month and day, but for 2018. Sorryyyyy
Oops. The comments I saw were Jan. 20, 2019. But the post was Jan. 20, 2018.
I was not fully wake and I could not figure it out either. LOL. I think a lot of people went to this post, https://tamaratattles.com/2018/01/20/teresa-giudices-parenting-is-about-as-bad-as-it-gets/ after the episode where Milania rapped for more information on the whole bad parent discussion.
https://tamaratattles.com/2018/01/20/teresa-giudices-parenting-is-about-as-bad-as-it-gets/
This post was in real time when the show was filming.
Ryan Lochte…the only thing bigger than his ego is his idiocy when he opens his mouth. Add world class dumbass to his world class athlete designation. Otherwise, I, too, am excited about CBB.
I’m glad Kandi dumped Bravo (hopefully) before Bravo dumps her and can’t wait to see the drama between Kandi and Tamar. I love when there’s a rocky history so we know the drama is real and not staged.
I hope Tom Green makes it far. As with most comedians, he appears to have social and emotional intelligence without flaunting same. Dina, Anthony, Kato..barf.
Yay!!! Let the games begin.
What on earth makes you think that “Kandi dumped Bravo?” or that “Bravo plans to dump her?” She is literally advertising the show on a competing network four nights a week! They could not be more thrilled. Andy is just mad he couldn’t do it because is baby is due soon.
Nothing more than wishful thinking. That’s why I put “hopefully” in parenthesis. Yeah, I guess she is advertising RHOA on CBB. Didn’t even think of that.
Not an Andy fan at all and would not even watch CBB if he was on. Yuk!
This cast is already better than the last one. I loved the look on Kato’s face when Tom Green asked if he was scared that OJ was going to walk through the door. I think Dina should go first, that voice of hers is like nails on a chalkboard.
I LOVED that too! So funny!
The funniest thing all night, it was so funny because Kato had mentioned it himself in his introduction.
It looks like there’s going to be 3 nominees for eviction this week. The loser of Ryan/Jonathan face off will be one. Then Julie said before the HOH comp on last night’s episode that the HOH will get to nominate 2 houseguests for eviction. Dina also made reference to 3 nominees yesterday on the 15-min feeds sneak peak and nobody corrected her.
I wonder if they’ll evict 1 or 2 houseguests on Friday. They need to evict 10 HG’s in 3 weeks so they’ll have to find ways to hurry up the evictions.
Am I the only one who thought Tamar could be exchanged for Nene? Her behavior and facial expressions were so similar. Not sure I can make it through this CBB round.
I was laughing pretty hard when they were trying to get swinging. Hilarious.
And then I was SHOCKED that Ryan was the first one to get it going!
Actually, I was pretty shocked they didn’t have a clip of him saying something really dumb already…
And did anyone notice how Scaramuchi was trying to get it in his cup? He was literally pointing his glass downward at the stream. And it all poured right out naturally.
And I was dying laughing when the wrestler was telling Kato to stop being annoying while trying to cheer! I LOVED that.
Tv in the background and I hear Tamar say her most prized possession is her son? Uhmmm… humans aren’t possessions, lol.
That rubbed me the wrong way too.
I’m so happy CBB has started. I initially thought I’d want the Mooch out first, but Tamar annoyed me more than I thought possible, so I’d like her to be the first to leave. I will be recording BBAD every night and, I guess I’ll have to get up earlier than usual in the morning so I can watch it while I get ready for work. I just adopted a dog on Sunday. I’ll have to try to get her to watch Cupcake Wars to see if it catches her attention. Looking forward to your recaps & all the comments for the next few weeks!
What are those screeching noises Tamar keeps making?
Lolo had a rough childhood. She’s spoken about that and her virginity for years. Before each Olympics there were many articles about her discussing same. She also had some really sad losses at the Olympics. I seem to recall she fell in one race.
Doesn’t look like Ryan’s changed.
I haven’t watched yet but I despise Natalie and Tamar from other things I have seen them on. I hope they go early, thought I doubt they will. I don’t love Tom Green but everyone needs a snarky person in the house. Brittany became a B.B. legacy from saying what we were all thinking. If that’s is Tom’s deal, then I am in.
Natalie isn’t my favorite just from the few times I saw her on that E! show. Who knows though. She could end up being good on this show.
Kanda and Tamar were hilarious. I couldn’t stop laughing. Tamar knows Kandi..holds grudges why she bought TS Madison and Khia to that concert I will never know. They always teased Kandi..singing every man wants a woman in a baritone voice. But, it was funny mean but funny.
