Four stowaways secretly tucked away in the house will kick off the two-night premiere event! Four competitions, three twists, two-nights and one Houseguests will be going home before the summer has barely even begun.
Sorry this didn’t go up yesterday, for us, the show didn’t come to CBS All Access until at least 12:15am and I couldn’t responsibility stay up. Though I regretted it all day so I may just stay up super late and get me an ice coffee in the morning.
I haven’t gotten any spoilers so I’m excited to see how it all plays out.
But first! Oh Chenbot!
Oh sad that only 1/3 of the winners of this show are women We see Natalie and Cody’s brother, Paulie. I imagine Natalie is suppose to be the hot one. I imagine Paulie got some tips from Derrick. Bronte is the one that gave us the 1/3 stat, well, if she wins. Bronte does seem like she’s well rounded.
Wave Two – Victor, gym manager. I don’t remember any of these people’s names! I should have reread my cast breakdown post before this episode. He has quite the crowded home! At least he’s use to that. This episode is an hour and a half! Zakiyah, preschool teacher. Why show her shooting a gun and missing all three shots? Corey, baseball coach. He sleepwalks!
Wave Three – Glenn from the Bronx, the only married guy. Bridgette, local girl and a nurse. She likes to surf, but she isn’t shown actually surfs. Jozea, Jersey Boy, and hair stylist.
Wave Four – Tiffany, also seen in a bikini – so was Bridgette. Michelle is going to be a dietitian. She’s going to have to calm down about the diet, I’ sure she will – once she’s in the home. She has a lot of fears! Paul, who I like already! A bad arse version of last year’s Donnie. Tiffany, Vanessa’s sister, hopefully this one isn’t as nuts. Oh, I guess she is suppose to be the sexy one but I’m not going to be tricked.
The house is full of single folks! Besides Tiffany, I really like this cast. I still don’t have their names memorized, they keep cutting to people and I hesitate to type their names as I don’t know them and their names yet.
I like how some are having their keys facing the camera so I can get one more chance at their names.
Chenbot with the cast! The first one in the house has never won the game. That’s the only piece of trivia that I know about that.
First four – Natalie, Victor, Michelle and Paul. Michelle, no! oh Natalie, might be too cute. Michelle and Paul click. Three of them all put their bags in the same room, Paul is the lone man out. This is what I needed to get their names. Paul got a pink bed. Victor like Natalie.
Second four – Glenn, Zakiyah, Paulie and Bonte.
Final four – Michelle, Jozea, Tiffany and Corey is last.
Bonte recognizes the theme is international rooms. Bonte needs to zen out.
Champagne! What does Chenbot do during all of this? They go around the room, introducing themselves. Bronte lies about her job. Never a good idea. Does Paulie know Tiffany? He doesn’t say who is brother is. Victor needs to calm down about Natalie. Natalie likes Corey, triangle! Corey likes Tiffany, bromance! Love triangle on all sides! Paul likes Zakiyah. Paul is 23, he seems older, it is the beard. Glenn has a nine year old daughter and doesn’t tell about his police gig – which is smart. He should pair with Paulie. He’s 50. Jozea likes to party. Tiffany doesn’t tell about Vanessa, and Michelle instantly recognizes Vanessa qualities.
They count themselves and know a few are missing.
Up next, the four stowaways! They are the first twist of the summer. What did Chenbot do for like an hour, just watched them? She didn’t listen as they suspect there are a few missing slots. Julie reveals the first twist!
Oh man, Paulie and Corey sort of look alike!
They are not coaches, that’s a relief!
Nicole from BB16! Her and Michelle need to stand next to each other! She was on Cody’s season, she may get revenge on Paulie. Michelle doesn’t see the similarities.
The house istantly wants her out. She didn’t know there was three others.
James from BB17! I’m all for his return! He barely got to play. One would think he would recognize Tiffany from any of the BB events in the past year. Will he find Bridgette attractive? James got a haircut.
Da’vonne from BB17 – I’m okay with her, she’s a bit much.
Frank fro BB14, who is clearly four years older! He looks like BB8’s Zach now, Evil Dick’s dummy friend was the hint I needed to get the name from my wife. He looks completely different, or I just straight forgot what he looked like. I may have just recognized him from his hair, previously.
They got to get Da’vonne and Frank out of there!
Jozea, Paul and Zakiyah are not impress with the returnees. The Vets instantly make an alliance – which they have to!
I need subtitles for the whispering. We have the air conditioning running and it is so loud and the television is at 60 volume now.
They are definitely not being star struck like in BB13 when Jeff, Jordan, Rachel, Brendon, Evil Dick and Danielle. But those were an impressive bunch.
Paulie comes out about how he’s BB16’s Corey’s brother. Paul doesn’t respect the move. Tiffany chooses not to out herself, Da’Vonne recognizes Vanessa’s sister. Mamma Da, she was great in the Diary Room, I had forgotten that.
Twist Number Two!
I know Battle of the Blick isn’t returning, turns it wasn’t a fan favorite.
Shit, they brought back in teams concept (teams of four) from the also non-fan favorite BB9! The vets have to be a team. So they are sort of doing the coaches idea.
Teams go against how the game should be played. This is like BB11 with the cliques too.
The First Comp! They got them in bikinis and swim trunks already!
Teams are picked.
Each Vet is on a different team, and they get to pick so yeah, coaches.
TEAMS
Frank – Michelle – Paulie – Bridgette
Da’Vonne – Paul – Zakiyah – Jozea
James – Natalie – Victor – Bronte
Nicole – Corey – Tiffany – Glenn
They chose like how they do it on MTV’s challenge, coach picks, they have to choose opposite gender.
Da’Vonne got her Pauls confused, so funny.
Reverse order, so Corey goes first. Paulie gets to go first for the final round.
Paul got to take his entire alliance along!
“Ride the Rocket” Team Endurance Challenge!
First out – Notburgh – have nots – slop,
Second out – Mysterland – mystery punishment
Third out – cash city – 10,000 dollars divided four ways!
Final team – Safeville – safe from two weeks worth of eliminations!
Someone will be going home tonight!
Glenn can’t get on the rocket, oh no!
Natalie does look good, but almost everyone does!
First one out is Tiffany she’s the worst! Next is Glenn, more Nicole has the worst team. She falls third.
Michelle and Bridgette are down. Frank is too! Paulie is the last of his team.
Da’Vonne & Zakiyah are both out!
Paul, Jozea is out.
Da’Vonne’s team are Have Nots!
James is out as is Natalie, also Bronte.
Paulie, Victor and Corey are last on the rockets.
Mystery Punishment – Cash – Safety / are the final cities.
Paulie, Team Frank gets a mystery punishment – to be revealed later.
Corey falls, so team Nicole gets cash!
Victor wins the first comp! Team James is safe for two weeks!
How does HoH work this season?
Zakiyah wants old heads out, I love that phrase!
Da’Vonne tries to make an alliance with her team, they agree but not really.
Team James wants a sweet new name. All the teams want names. Category4 is Team Frank’s new team name. Nicole wants a team name, Freakazoids, did Production put them up to it? BigSister is Da’Vonne’s team name. Team James can’t get it together. TeamUnicorn, is what they settle on, it is pretty bad arse. That Natalie, I can see what Victor sees in her.
Tiffany straight tells Michelle that she isn’t Vanessa’s sister, she needs to admit it once confronted. She doesn’t want that coming out later. She did admit it but Michelle is sworn to secrecy.
Chenbot is back.
Second competition. Team Unicorn is safe. The other three teams compete, in three rounds. Round One winners join Team Unicorn in safety, as is Round Three. My wife had to explain Round Three to me.
The team that loses, will compete against each other. They will lose one person and one of the other three will become . . . Head of Household!
2nd Comp – Hit the Road
Production got them in swimsuits again!
Round One – Build a sandcastle pyramid. Couldn’t hear the rest of the rules as I couldn’t spell “pyramid” my wife helped me. Not a word I spell often, folks.
Chenbot butchering team names, they sounded cool earlier.
This does look overly hard.
Category4 wins it! Frank, Bridgette, Paulie and Michele are all safe!
Round Two will be Big Sister v Freakazoids. Da’Vonne and Nicole have breakdowns, Da’Vonne gets hit harder.
Round Two!
They have to build a sand castle using puzzle pieces. Freakazoids don’t get it right, on their first try. Big Sister doesn’t get it on their first try, either. Big Sister has a faster correction time and win the second round! Poor Team Nicole has to compete against each other. I guess Glenn is going home.
We’ll have to find out on Thursday’s episode.
Sunday promises a second type of competition, which will be the replacement comp for Battle of the Block.
Not a bad first episode.
We’re hoping Thursday’s episode doesn’t wait until 11:15pm to upload. I’m sure this was so late due to it being two hours long.
Buddy TV seems like they got the cast pool pictures!
