Premiere Night - Live Feeds 7/7/2011

It's always difficult for me to decipher just what is going on when the live feeds and BBAD start up (I'm sure it's like that for everyone). Here are the key things that I know to be factual:

Brendon and Rachel (HoH's) nominated Porsche and Keith for eviction. Keith immediately started campaigning against his partner, Porsche, which resulted in major tension from the beginning.

Seconds after the feeds turned on most had realized that Evel Dick was nowhere to be found. It's my understanding he was called into the Diary Room at approximately 5:30 BBT (Big Brother Time) and had not yet returned when the feeds went live (at 10pm BBT). People were panicking a little, wondering if it was some sort of twist; soon thereafter their panic began to turn into worry for Dick's health and safety. Daniele (Dick's daughter and partner in the game) was visibly upset because Big Brother had told them nothing (not sure if she is upset about her father or the fact that in his absence her game could be ruined). In the wee hours of the morning, all houseguests still awake and speculating about Dick, Daniele was called into the Diary Room and it was revealed that Dick had left the game due to "personal reasons." While everyone speculates it looks like we will not fully know the truth until next Wednesday's episode airs (according to CBS).

Jeff and Jordan, Brendon and Rachel, both pairs knew they were going into the house for approximately a month before being sequester. Although, according to Evel's recent video blog that surfaced online today, he had only known a day prior to being sequestered.

The houseguests have all been on an indoor lockdown as BB prepares for the Veto Competition planned to be held on 7/8. Everyone wants to smoke LOL.

The Have Nots are: Cassi, Shelly, Lawon and Kalia.

Now... Onto my thoughts of last night's Live Feeds:

Personally I think Rachel looks great. The hair extensions are much better this season and it even looks like she had a boob reduction. (She of course lost a few pounds, but that may just be her boobs? Her face definitely looks very thin). Who knows, maybe she didn't get a boob reduction but just lost a lot of weight. Either way she looks really good!

Rachel even appears less annoying so far. Fingers crossed. More on that on Friday's Live Feed Post.

I didn't see it coming but Dani and Rachel seem to be hitting it off quite well. I figured Dani would be impatient with Rachel and dismissing her before she got to know her. It's quite the opposite and I think those two will have one of the closer female bonds in the house. (I must add that Dani seems much more upbeat and happier this season; she also looks SMOKIN HOT).

It seems like Cassi and Dominic have become really close. They always seem to be in the same room together and engaged in conversation. I think Cassi is also going to get along great with Shelly.

Seeing Jeff and Jordan in the house makes me smile. They are a cute couple and I believe they bring a silly (Jordan) and very witty (Jeff) humor to the show that will help keep housemates from turning into a snooze-fest. And yes, in my opinion, Jeff is still the hottest guy on the planet. Big Brother did nothing but score major points with me by having them back.

With Dick's sudden departure, it leaves the dynamic duos of the past down by 1 player. Thankfully on the block we see two people from the "other side," the original 8 houseguests, Porsche and Keith. If noms stay the same and one of them goes home, the playing field will be level again. Jeff/Jordan or Dani will have to win next week though!

Apparently before knowing that Dick had left the BB house, Keith went on a ginormous rant about how fucked it is that the cards were stacked against them with the return of likable past houseguests. I personally did not see this on the feeds (not sure if I missed it because I went to bed early, or if it occurred before the feeds turned on), either way, he pissed a few people off and placed a bigger target on his back. (I know Shelly was really upset about it for some reason).

Rachel and Brendon were extremely upset last night when finding out the Dick had left. Jumping the gun (a lot) they began packing and wanted to leave the house. I think they thought Dani would leave too and that they (Bren/Rach) would be left fighting their way through the whole game like last season. Eventually they decided to stay, realizing what idiots they looked like, surely.

From what I understand, Dani, Rachel, Brendon, Jordan and Jeff are all in an "alliance." Really, what it boils down to is, the rookies are against the veterans (anyone watch MTV Challenges?).

Well, that pretty much sums up Thursday's premiere night of live feeds. I think this is going to end up being a really fantastic season. Till next time!

CBS Big Brother 13 Premiere

It was a crazy night in the Big Brother house for us live feed viewers. And to the sadness of many (me included) Evel Dick has removed himself from the game for "personal" reasons.

Big Brother 13's premiere aired last night, 9pm (west coast time) took forever to get here! The show itself was probably one of the best (compared to past seasons) in my opinion.

After the houseguests entered the house Julie revealed the twist that they will not only be playing in pairs but that there are past duos returning to the house. Everyone picked their pairs and the teams are as follows: Porsche & Keith, Lawon & Kalia, Adam & Dom, Shelly & Cassi.

One by one the doorbell rang and favorite (loved or hated) popular past duos rang the doorbell and returned to play the game. First came Brendon and Rachel. Then Jeff and Jordan. Finally Evel Dick and Danielle entered the house.

Emotions ran high. The newbie 8 houseguests were excited, shocked, and eventually feeling kind of cheated because they thought that the past duos had an unfair advantage.

The game is truly unique this season. Pairs win the HoH together and are both safe from nominations and eviction for the week. Once the HoH pick their noms (one pair goes on the block), this pair then turns on each other and will campaign against each other to remain in the house. The interesting aspect to this is the addition of the "Golden Key." The single housemate that remains (after their partner is evicted) will then possess a Golden Key which prevents him or her to be on the block for eviction for the next four weeks. This owner of the key will NOT be allowed to play in competitions OR be allowed to win HoH; however, they will be allowed to vote in eviction ceremonies.

The first HoH competition involved partners hanging on a banana together, suspended in the air, they were squirted with cream, chocolate, and other components of a banana split. What made this challenging is how slippery the banana got because of the components eventually covering the surface (must have been made of plastic, vinyl or rubber).

Guess who won the first HoH competition of the season? Rachel and Brendon. Dick and Danielle (the final two in the comp aside from Rachel) dropped after securing with Rachel that they would be safe from nominations.

The premiere was awesome! If you haven't caught it yet it is available on CBS.com for viewing.

Next post up is last night's Live Feed and Showtime BBAD premieres.

Allison Grodner Interview on the Twists and the Season

Allison Grodner recently did an interview with WeLoveBigBrother.com (WLBB.com) where she talks about the new (and potential "past") houseguests, the overall design of the house and the twists for this summer's "explosive" season of Big Brother. I would like to thank WLBB.com for providing such a great interview!

Here are some of the main points of discussion:

-- Allison on the Cast: “…It’s an interesting mix, we’re really happy with them… A couple that stand out or come to mind right now: Adam Poch… Shelly Moore… Keith Henderson…”

-- Allison on the Twist: “Double Trouble as it’s being dubbed and will feature dynamic duos from the past who have played big brother… these are notorious twosomes… power couples potentially… pairs that have been aligned that really stood out in the big brother game…”

-- Allison “will not deny or confirm how many duos there are…”

-- Allison, more on the Twists: confirms there are two twists (aka two really big announcements, one of course is the former houseguests coming back and the other being a twist to how the game is played) going on that are part of this same theme that “has the game being played quite differently right off the bat.”

-- Allison, more on the Duos: Won’t reveal how the duos will be introduced but will say that it’s “bound to be a really exciting hour in that there’s going to be one surprise right after another.”

-- Allison on the CBS “Vote”: Basically the CBS.com “vote” is just to get people going, talking, and excited about the premiere night and the twists. It has nothing to do with who is actually coming back. It’s a “sample” of possible duos returning. We could see other duos as well. Allison then throws out other possible duos such as “Dan and Memphis; Danielle and Jason; Marcellas and Amy…”

-- Allison on Possible Viewer Involvement: “We always find ways for the viewers to impact the game in some way…” (however, it appears this will not occur until later in the game).

-- Allison on Have-Have Not Room: While there are no images or video of the Have-Have Not room, Allison confirms there will indeed be one this season. She states it will be “revealed during the first week of shows.”

-- Allison on the Staircase Design: The “cage” around the stairs leading up to the HoH room is nothing but a design (decorating) idea. It serves no purpose.

-- Allison on the Bikes: The bikes seen throughout the house (strictly another design idea that appeals to the “summer boardwalk” theme) will “be firmly locked” to the houseguests.

-- Allison on the HoH Room: As previously noted in the BB house pictures below, there were two potential HoH room pics that surfaced. Allison states it was just a “design change” because they “were not happy” with the initial HoH room design.

-- Allison final thoughts: She strongly believes this will be an “explosive summer” due to the “huge personalities” of both the casted 8 houseguests and the returning duos. “…I remember thinking I hope our house can actually contain all of them, it’s THAT feeling; …you know it’s rare that I think that on opening night but I really do think with that, with all of the twists and turns, with the many reveals, it will be one surprise after another on opening night, I can tell you that much.”

The following is the actual interview from the WLBB.com website:

The Twist...

So, we’ve met 8 houseguests: Adam, Cassi, Dominic, Kalia, Keith, Lawon, Porsche and Shelly. Most of us know the drill, usually 13 houseguests (at least the last couple seasons that I can remember) move in on the opening night of Big Brother. Obviously, doing the math, we can see that we’re at least 5 houseguests short. It didn’t take long for CBS to give use clues as to why:

"MEET THE CAST: Meet 8 members of the cast of Big Brother season 13, who will spend the summer playing alongside some of Big Brother's most memorable duos!"

Hmmmm... Memorable duos sound intriguing!
When the next page scrolls into view we see:

(Picture Courtesy of CBS.com)

"WHO WILL RETURN?: This season, some of Big Brother's most dynamic duos will be re-entering the house for another shot at the game! Who do you think will return to the house?"

The choices displayed for the "dynamic duos" are:

Brendon & Rachel

Dr. Will & Mike Boogie

Jeff & Jordan

Jessie & Natalie

Evel Dick & Daniele

Hayden & Enzo

Clicking and following the link that says "Vote Now" brings us to this page:

(Picture Courtesy of CBS.com)

"BIG BROTHER DOUBLE TROUBLE: This season, some of Big Brother's most familiar faces will be re-entering the house for another shot at the game! Which former dynamic duo do you think will return to the Big Brother house?"

Reading this closely you will notice it says "Which former dynamic duo do you THINK will return..." So it is apparent that these past houseguests, the "dynamic duos," have already been predetermined by Allison Grodner and staff. This is merely just a teaser to get us going and talking when in all actuality (and she's stated this) it could even be a dynamic duo that isn't listed; but I'll come back to that.

First, I'll vote for the hell of it. I, OF-FREAKIN'-COURSE, vote for my favorite duo that I THINK (and quietly plead with god in my head they WILL return) Jeff & Jordan.

(Picture Courtesy of CBS.com)

Upon casting my vote (aka clicking the little "vote" box under their cute little pictures) I see a new screen that gives the voting results so far (07/04/11).

(Picture Courtesy of CBS.com)

The results are very clear which three duos the public expects to see ringing the BB doorbell on Thursday night:

Jeff & Jordan -- 33%

Evel Dick & Daniele -- 24%

Brendon & Rachel -- 22%

I don't know about you, but I think those three doorbell rings are going to be three of the most exciting "twist" moments in BB history. I can hardly wait!

WeLoveBigBrother.com had an awesome interview with Big Brother's Executive Producer Allison Grodner about the BB13 "dynamic duo" twist. Stay tuned and tomorrow I will share this exclusive interview. (THANKS WeLoveBigBrother!)
