So it's goodbye to Australia and their winner, Marley, and the tour bus makes its final stop back in North America with BB USA, and Julie Chen Moonves.
Hopefully, and I hope I'm not jinxing it by saying I am cautiously looking forward to this one, and I mean ANYTHING is better than the disaster we had last year, when cheating was at the forefront to help the winner over the line and basically the whole season went to worms....
Hopefully a series to be talked about for the right reasons this year, to take us all the way through the end of September, the 29th the date being rumbled around.
So scraping slightly into autumn before we end the Big Brother year, in regards to the English speaking ones anyway....
Anyway, that's the future and let's come back to the present and time to welcome in the newest members of the BBUS family
Houseguests profiles right here (courtesy of Big Brother Network), I won't write their names out as the launch would be over by the time I had finished.
So many twists and turns this year as usual, with the words Risk and Reward really standing out....
Wonder if that means at some point, someone will actually be offered a cash incentive to leave. Interesting possibility, been done a few times if I remember correctly in other versions....
Action stations, we are off and running for the final English speaking Big Brother for this year...
The houseguests will be going in teams of 4, two men and two women on each team. Twist will last 4 weeks
Captains are chosen on who wins a challenge on each team, and the appointed captain will watch 90 seconds of pre season videos when it comes to drafting time
Whoever wins the HoH for these 4 weeks, that team will be safe. Double or nothing for the week's HoH, and also safety comps for other teams. Safety comp winners will have a punishment
Hopefully we'll all work it out as we go along, after all it's only 4 weeks
First four men in - Travis, Derek F, Frenchie, Xavier
Straight to the backyard, and look at that....No masks for move-in....Hopefully Wales in a few weeks
First challenge, 5 sheets of plexiglass have to be rearranged to match the Have Not pool poster. First to do so will go forward to the HoH competition later in the show.
And taking the first honour is FRENCHIE....
He has also earned the chance to change the course of the game, and will be a team captain
The first 4 women in - Azah, Britini, Alyssa and Whitney
It should be noted Britini is autistic, so someone for me to identify with
Should be noted, same challenge for all four groups
Next team captain is.....WHITNEY
Next four - Kyland, Derek X, Christian and Brent
Observation, Brent nailed on for a showmance I would say
Next team captain is....Christian
Final four women - Sarah, Claire, Tiffany and Hannah
Final team captain is.....CLAIRE
Team draft
These are going to make for interesting reading, Claire wants an all girl alliance....Let's see if she gets her wish
Team Frenchie (Jokers) - Azah, Britini and Derek F
Team Whitney (Aces) - Brent, Derek X and Hannah
Team Christian (Kings) - Alyssa, Xavier and Sarah
Team Claire (Queens) - Kyland, Tiffany and Travis
Good teams there, and on a side note very pleased with the representation this year
And so much more to come before this episode is done tonight....
HoH comp
Captains have to build a 3D house of cards, while the team-mates have to balance to hold a platform steady to stop a big card coming down and knocking down the house of cards. Winning captain will be HoH and that captain's team will have immunity. Last placed team will be have nots for the weeks
And it's Team FRENCHIE that takes the honours, with Frenchie being HoH
Team Claire 2nd and Team Whitney 3rd
Taking the dubious honour of Have Nots will be Team Christian....
Frenchie will now get the first offer of the season, but first Julie announces the prize money will be $750,000 this year
2nd week of safety offered to Frenchie and his team, via the dice provided and he has to keep both on the table. If he accepts but fails, then he would lose the safety and HoH. HoH would then be Claire as the team captain in 2nd place
He respectfully declines the gamble, but we will have a proveout anyway to see what would have happened
And he lands the dice perfectly.....
Next episode, the new Wild Card comp is announced along with the schedule we are all familiar with by now
And there we have it, ladies and gentlemen, for the launch. Thankfully a single part launch this year, and a few days breather for Episode 2, and then it's full steam ahead with the normal schedule after that.
Until next time, stay safe, stay frosty and keep on rocking....
