It’s that time of year again.
The time whenJulie Chen-Moonvesgraces our TVs and introduces us to another season ofBig Brother.
Will this injection of new blood lead to a season more eventful than the last few?
Will things be a little less predictable this time around?
Let’s dive into the 90-minute premiere and get a sense of how this season kicks off.
As always, we begin with the live move-in.
I’m here for it.
Next up we meet Azah, Britini, Alyssa, and Whitney.
Azah is a first-generation American who comes from African royalty.
Her words, not mine.
Britini is a school teacher and a karate world champion.
Then there’s Whitney, a single mom and business owner who thinks everyone will underestimate her.
Our next group of guys consists of Kyland, Christian, Derek X, and Brent.
Out of these four, Christian wins the first competition and moves on to the HOH.
Finally, we meet our last four contestants, Sarah Beth, Hannah, Claire, and Tiffany.
But it’s Claire who gets the first win and enters the HOH competition later in the episode.
The four winners of the first competition?
They must draft their teams immediately.
Let’s skip past all the awkwardness and get to the teams.
That brings us to the HOH competition, which is of course a little different in the team format.
The first HOH competition is a good one, requiring a lot of teamwork and patience.
Meanwhile, Christian’s “Kings” can’t get a thing going and end up being Have Nots.
But we’re not done here yet!
Julie has two more surprises up her sleeve.
The second surprise is an offer to Frenchie.
If he succeeds, he’ll get two weeks of protection from nominations for his team.
If he can’t do it, he loses the HOH.
Frenchie knows that too, and he declines the offer.
A silly way to end the episode, but hey, that’sBig Brother.
