New house makeover looks really cool. I think its the biggest change we've had in quite awhile.

Reserving judgement on the cast though it does look slightly more interesting than alot of recent seasons. Not all models and actors. 2 returnees?

Curious how the feeds will be now since they are on the CBS all access. They are cheaper though which is nice.

Interesting. (A transgender hamster won her season in the UK in 2004...)

'We know the twists usually only last a week or less ANYway, so... This year we thought we'd do a new twist every week.'

Whatever.

One of these years, I'd like to see Zingbot be a competing houseguest. I think that would be funny. Just don't go in the jacuzzi... You'll short out....

I am currently in the stage of "Not watching this year." I'm extra busy this summer so I may actually stick to it. hahahaha

Premiere was fun.

To be the longest one yet... 98 days...

The meet-eight-tonight-and-eight-tomorrow thing makes it a little easier to learn names, maybe, but I prefer being introduced to everybody at once.

The ladies are pretty. James is a fun character. Nobody seems real 'not nice' at this point.

It was a pretty fun premier. I am a little leery of the takeover thing just because BBs twists turn out to be duds more often than not and with that many it could just turn into a convoluted mess. I know a lot of people didnt like the battle of the block last season but I actually did so I'm happy to see it return. Funny they are trying the twin twist again since it was such an epic fail the first time they tried it.

Happy BB is back, its still my summer guilty pleasure!

They (Adria and Natalie, Season 5) did succeed, though, made ten switches in five weeks, and nobody caught on (still remember Cowboy shouting 'It's Holly!' loudly several times while Julie was saying there was a twin...). I kinda like that they're doing that again.

I'm not surprised they're doing Battle of the Block again... And I don't mind, but I probably wouldn't have missed it if it had gone away, either...

Yeah... BB is a welcome part of summer TV for me... It's so silly, and yet...

They were successful in that respect but since they were both booted right after the reveal it really had no effect on the game and fell flat for me.

The only same sex twin we know about (via the online bb diehard investigators) is Liz. Her twin Julia looks quite different from her based on all the photos I've seen. Not sure how they are gonna pull it off if they are in fact the twins in question here.

I'm sure they will recap what happened last night, tonight. If not all you missed was the first 8 moving in, Audrey revealing to them she is trans (everyone was very supportive-a couple of the guys looked shocked but it was very positive), James (asian country guy) is the first hoh but there will be another because battle of the block is back. There will be new twist "BB takeover" it unleashes a new twist every week, thats all they really said about it. There is another twin twist-if they make it 5 weeks they both get to play. I think thats pretty much it.

I liked this first 8, except for Amy who seems really annoying and fake. I was glad that Clay and James both seemed to be positive about Audrey. Clay comes with some 'Arryn' style baggage. I liked James' comment about being able to understand what it's like to not fit expectations (though I hope he doesn't relate EVERYTHING to being the Asian-Southern Boy).

I am going to compromise and not record BBAD, just watch the live show and read daily recaps. :P BB Dish is shutting down and that was the best recap site imo, so I found this one in case anyone wants a board to check out. I hate Joker's Update style. http://www.hamstertime.net/ht/

I've been reading Hamster Time for years and I like their style of recaps. Basically KMI you're going to be watching BB the way I do this year.

Quick summary of night 1 feeds (assuming we are all cool with spoilers like past seasons)

Noms were Jackie/Steve and John/Becky- John/Becky won BOB James is the remaining HOH. The plan is to backdoor Jace. Seems its the whole house vs. Austin, Jace, Liz. Those 3 seem to think they are the chilltown 2.0 and have no clue Jace is in big trouble. Core 5 are Audrey, Da'Vonne, Jason, James, and Meg. Jeff, Vanessa, and Becky are the floaters thus far. Steve has nobody (except maybe John), he is very socially awkward and most of the house finds him creepy and weird. I actually think he's very sweet just awkward. Vanessa had a bit of a breakdown about missing home and hearing people talk bad about Steve. Not sure how much of it was legit and how much was gameplay on her part but there were lots of tears and a big pity party. Very strange for a woman who makes a living by having a poker face, literally. Shelli/Clay showmance may be happening they are flirty and talk quite a bit of game. Have-not room looks like a dentist office and beds are dentists chairs (Austin, Liz, Vanessa, not sure who else). I think maybe Da'Vonne and Vanessa got safety since they sat out of hoh and it sounds like Vanessa gave hers to Austin? Thats about all for the overnight. POV players have already been picked so its probably later today.

I hate that they've been in the house for a full week already and that the shows we saw were from events last Friday. I thought the purpose of the 2nd nite premiere was to 'catch us up' on house doings? That means on Sunday they will have 8 days of interactions we've missed.

I liked a lot more people in the first batch than the 2nd. Jason already annoys me way more than anyone last season, and I feel bad that I was mocking Becky's bad plastic surgery and now it seems it was because of being in a train wreck. :-/

You all are good with knowing so many of their names already.

This show LOVES a gay caricature. Jason may be more annoying than Frankie. I think I made it halfway through last season before I wouldn't watch Frankie any longer.

Are both Vanessa and Da'Vonne pro poker players? They're my favorite personalities at this point. Da'Vonne should be good comedy relief.

And Clay is a nice piece of eye candy.

I still don't understand what the BB Takeover is all about, but it sounds like a good way for the producers to meddle with the game play.

The BB takeover changes week to week so it is okay that you don't know bilki.

I think Da'Vonne is a poker DEALER, and Vanessa is a pro player (Vegas, I don't know her, and we don't have any mutual friends that I'm aware of, but I kinda thought we might have...).

Jason is a bit annoying, yes. But... Progress? TWO gay guys this year, a bi lady, and the first transgender?...

I do always feel like we must have missed a lot in that first week...

So did anybody watch Amazing Race 26? I didn't, but I just looked them up... Came in 7th of 11 teams...

It does suck that they've already been in there so long. It feels like this season more than others we missed quite a bit in that time. There has already been a few dust-ups it seems, no details just hgs mentioning them in passing. Becky told the trainwreck story last night and I'm pretty sure she said she didnt have to get plastic surgery as a result. I was trying to listen to 2 convos at once so i may have misheard but i think thats what she said. Jason is actually much less annoying than i was expecting, though he knows he is going to annoy feeders so maybe he toned it down a little knowing feeds were going live.

Da'Vonne is a poker dealer but claimed in her video to also be a good poker player. Seems weird she doesnt know Vanessa who is quite famous in poker circles. Clay is clearly a recruit and has no clue how to play BB but yes nice to look at.

John is VERY different from hi interview/video, not what i was expecting at all.

So watched the 2nd episode with my kid. Apparently her friend's cousin is John the dentist. We weren't impressed with him or the cast in general. I must be getting old and jaded. It just looked like same old characters with new faces and names.

I'm absolutely SURE I must say the same thing every season and get sucked in but this year I'm not going to watch BBAD. I don't know. I'm thinking there is too much good stuff that I want to watch this summer on Netflix, Amazon or DVD.

Hi Gate! Welcome to the BB 12 step club. Repeat after me: I must learn to accept the entertainment and info provided by the network show, spend <10 minutes browsing live feed posts and analysis of the night before, and binge watch quality TV.

We can do it!

Steve won the veto. Plan is still to bd Jace as far as i can tell.

Lots and lots of game talk all day and night. I honestly cant tell the real from the fake alliances yet there are so many. Audrey is playing way to hard and she never shuts up! It will catch up to her very soon if she doesnt chill out.

I adore Steve. He no social game but he tries very hard and he might be the sweetest person to ever play the game. He always needs a hug lol.

2 gay guys? Who's the other one?

Is John the dentist? His diary voice reminds me of a character's voice from a movie in the past. It's driving me crazy that I can't figure it out. I think it's a movie.

Jace seemed like a bro-douchebag from what I saw of him on the televised show, so I feel like I won't miss him.

I kinda figured Clay wouldn't have much to contribute.

Austin the wrestler made a number of comments on the first couple shows that seemed to indicate... Maybe I misread him, but... It would be kinda fun, as he does not fall into the 'BB gay guy' stereotype...

He has a GF outside the House. He has that 'no boundaries' image so I could see him flirting with guys as part of that.

KMI, you would be soooo proud of me. Haven't browsed the live feed post except for here. :) No BBAD.

I've been trying to catch-up with 'Orange is the New Black' and 'Orphan Black'. Marathoned 'Bones' a few days ago. Also caught up with 'Whispers' and 'The Daily Show'. See I'm doing great but it's only week 2 in the BB house so I have time to fall off the wagon. :P
