Big Brother USA 2019 - Episode 2 - Launch pt.2 and HoH

In our last Big Brother adventure:

• 16 new houseguests 
• Tommy and Christie knew each other, but opted to keep it quiet so not to get that target on their backs
• Jackson, Cliff, Jessica and David put their names in the ring for Camp Director
• Jackson won the vote, and got the first power of the season
• Everyone else found their way to a major gunging surprise
• Jackson found out he had to 'banish' four houseguests, and they will compete in a forthcoming challenge where one will be banished for the game

Tonight we find out who Jackson decides to banish for said competition, and also the first HoH of the season will be crowned

And a whole load of gameplaying sandwiched in between no doubt, liking the look of this lot as they are not messing about straight off the bat with all the pitching to Jackson to make sure they are not one of the four who will be banished.

And that is where we start for tonight, as once Jackson chooses a houseguest for banishment, a giant squirrel with a swag bag will come in and take the pick away.

Cue the houseguests panicking every time this squirrel walks in, and first to be chosen by Jackson is Cliff 'Boss' Hogg followed by Kemi, Jessica and finally David

Come into the light

Nice little competition where the mentioned four have to find their way back to the main house in pitch black conditions, but as it's Big Brother, not all is as seems as there will be several detours which of course they can't see due to the darkness

After much scrambling about in the darkness, Cliff is back first followed by Kemi and Jessica. Julie tells David that as he finished in last place he will be banished, and then the key words....for now.

Back to house action, and we hear more of Christie and Tommy's connection as in Christie dated a member of Tommy's family. Tommy is hoping this won't be a curse going forward, as in none of the other houseguests finding out.

Bromance alert with Jack and Jackson, you know Jack who looks like Aquaman. He is hoping he won't be in deep water and will surface out of the house at the end with the grand prize. But only 2 episodes down so we have a LONG way to go yet, and anything can and probably will happen between now and the end.

HoH competition

It's endurance to get things started for this series, and Jackson has a final duty to perform in picking pairs for this competition

He picks:

Kathryn and Jack

Sam and Nicole

Holly and Ovi

Isabella and Nick

Analyse and Cliff

Christie and Kemi

Tommy and Jessica

Notes, although they are paired up the HoH will still be an individual. So whoever is last left on their log, is the new HoH. As Camp Director, Jackson, is ineligible to compete as he is already safe due to his Camp Director power. Of course it won't be made easy by the houseguests having several items dropped on them such as gunge and whatever else.....

Order of elimination:

Jessica

Jack 

Kathryn

Nick

Ovi

Sam

Kemi

Cliff

Isabella

Nicole

Analyse

Holly

Tommy

Winner and first HoH of the season is CHRISTIE

Before the end of the episode, Julie mentions the new twist which is called the Whacktivity comp, which is basically a secret power that will be up for grabs. She then goes to say that while David has been banished, we have not seen the last of him and he will be popping up again during the eviction episode in something never before seen on Big Brother.

Next up in Episode 3, we will have the new twist mentioned, along with Christie's nominations. Who will she fire the opening salvos at?

To be continued.....

Thank you for popping in and reading these posts as always, and keep the likes, retweets, shares and comments coming in. Everything is very much appreciated.

Podcast alerts!!!!!

BB on Blast have dropped a new pod which can be found right here, and also Garry and Erica from Big Brother Radio have released a new pod as well right here

As always Rob has a Podcast will be on the air every day at certain times whether it be discussing the live feed happenings, episodes just aired and various roundtables. Link on the right >>>>>>

As far as that particular episode goes, a most enjoyable episode with the comps to stay in and to decide the HoH. Feel bad for David as nobody should be gone on the first or second night, but as Julie said we haven't seen the last of him, and I for one am really interested to see what part he will play during the eviction episode.

Much too early yet to decide favourites as we are only two episodes in, but for me most adorable at the moment has to go to Nicole. She seems harmless enough.

Until next time, stay frosty, keep on rocking and cheerio for now.....

Big Brother USA 2019 - Episode 1 - Launch pt.1

Off we go again, citizens, for another summer of hopefully fun and frolics as we head into the final Big Brother for 2019, and it's back down south to the good old US of A for the civilian version

This year's theme is based around summer camp, and without further ado, let's meet our contenders for this year who are hoping to follow in Kaycee's footsteps and take home the half million dollars grand prize

Contestants:

• Analyse, 22 (pronounced Arnaleese) from California
• Christie, 28, from Staten Island, New York
• Cliff, 53, from Houston in Texas
• David, 29, from Atlanta in Georgia
• Holly, 31, from Lander in Wyoming
• Isabella, 22, from New Jersey
• Jack, 28, from Chicago
• Jackson, 23, from Tennessee
• Jessica, 30ish, from Chicago
• Kathryn Dunn, 29, from Dallas in Texas
• Kemi, 25, from New York
• Nick, 27, from New Jersey
• Nicole, 24, from New York
• Ovi, 22, from Tennessee
• Sam, 31, from Pennsylvania
• Tommy, 28, from New York

And there we have our 2019 houseguests, and now down to business as they will be going in 4 at a time

Tommy, Jack, Kathryn and Nicole are the first four to enter, let's see who may get the first in curse this year and it's.......TOMMY. 

But then again, that particular curse was broken earlier this year when Tamar was first into the celebrity house and she ended up winning, could it be more like a good omen this year for Tommy? Only time will tell I guess

Jackson, Ovi, Kemi and Holly are the final four in from this group of eight, and already Kathryn has her eye on Aquaman, sorry I mean Jack. Think he may be in demand from all the straight girls in there, and who can blame them. Looks just like Aquaman, and he did say in his VT after all that he hears that almost every day.

Before cutting to break, Mrs Chen Moonves informs us that some of the houseguests may already know each other, but sharing that information if they do could put themselves in danger and that target going straight on them.

Next in from the second group are Cliff, Analyse, Isabella and David. Early indications showing that Jack and Jackson are starting to bond already and could form an alliance.

And the final 4 not rights into the fold are Christie, Sam, Nick and Jessica. But wait, Tommy shares with us that he knows Christie, as she used to date one of his family members. Has to be a female as Christie is openly gay, and he says that he will have to play this close to his chest as it could be a very short stay for him if anyone finds out. Nothing is sacred in that house, and I wager it will be out in the open in a short while.

Told you Jack would be in demand as Analyse, Nicole, Kemi, Kathryn, and gay Tommy all have their eye on him, while Jack's new running buddy Jackson has set his sights on Analyse.

Sofa gatherage as Julie calls them to the sofas, and reveals that for the first time in North American BB at least, the houseguests will nominate a camp director. What this entails is as follows:

• Immunity from the first eviction
• Will impact the first HoH
• Could put everyone else's game in jeopardy

Nominations for Camp Director are CLIFF, JESSICA, JACKSON and DAVID

Next up we see the candidates throwing in their pitches as to why they should have this illustrious position, with Jessica and Jackson looking like being the front runners.

Little do they know what awaits them when the results are revealed, and let's just say it's gets very messy indeed.....

Fast forward to said vote results which resulted in everyone except the vote winner getting sprayed with gunge, and for one person aka Isabella it literally knocked her off her feet

Zero votes - Tommy, Holly, Christie, Kemi, Cliff, Isabella, Nicole, Ovi, Kathryn, David and Analyse

One vote - Nick and Jack

4 votes - Jessica

Winner with 10 votes and current Camp Director is JACKSON

But there is yet another twist as Jackson must choose 4 houseguests to banish, and the chosen 4 will participate in a competition and the top 3 will return to the house while last place will be evicted. 

Also in episode 2, we will see the first HoH Comp of the season and it will be endurance....Who will take the HoH power and who do they nominate?

To be continued in episode 2

Not a bad start at all, and there is quite a lot of potential in there for a pretty good game this season. Looking forward to seeing what alliances there will be, but please let's not have one alliance completely dominate and drain the life out of the show

First impressions are of a competitive bunch, and let's see what they bring to the table as we move further into this year's series

There will be some new links going up on the right for this season as well, so watch out for them....

Be sure to catch the Big Brother Radio spin off My Little Eye with Garry and Erica right here as they run their eyes over this years cast, and also a new addition to the link family in Julie Girl, with their cast analysis right here

BB on Blast will be dropping a new pod soon with their take on the episodes, along with Rob has a Podcast, who as always will be on air shortly after each televised episode and most probably every day with live feed updates and round table discussions and whatever else comes with this season.

That being said, thank you for reading my posts as always. I know I am a novice at this particular format of Big Brother, but I do try as I will try all summer to give reader satisfaction.

That being said, follow me on Twitter at richiew4ever

Fingers crossed for a good season, and until next time we meet stay frosty, keep on rocking and cheerio....
