Big Brother 16 Premiere - Wednesday Network Show Recap

This is our 

CBS Network Show Big Brother Big Mouth Breakdown:

Not too bad for the first night, can't wait to see what tomorrow's show holds.  (Especially after we heard Zach say he lies "every single time" he opens his mouth! But I fear Jocasta may be as obnoxious as her laugh. We'll see.)  I think we will be seeing backstabbing and backbiting start pretty early this year.  We can't wait!!

The first 8 house guests entered the house tonight, forming the first alliance as well.  The "Crazy 8" alliance consists of Frankie, Amber, Cody, Devin, Donny, Nicole, Joey and Paola.  As the group tells DR cameras about their own first impressions, we were happy to see that Donny and Nicole seemed to both be drawn toward one another for possible alliance purposes.  Considering we like both of them so far, this was good news.  We are also happy to say that Frankie is not as obnoxious as he looks. (And I know he thinks his sister is world renowned, but I had to look her up to find out who she was.)  

We also found out that Amber is quite attracted to Devin, who didn't seem to notice her, instead showing a real interest in our blue-haired girl Joey.  Uh oh!  I can smell trouble brewing already!  Especially considering Paola's GIANT crush on the much younger Cody.  Any other girl looks his way and Paola may snap and scratch their eyes out!  This girl has got it bad already!  Speaking of Cody, what's up with those um, unusual, faces he makes?  You see that?  Personally, I think Cody may have a nice body, but that face, well...let's just say there are nicer looking ones in the house.  

So shortly following their initial meetings and discussions, the younger guys shed their shirts to do sit ups, in what I believe may have been an attempt to hypnotize the other HGs with their totally awesome abs.  Poor Donny didn't join in, but is responsible for setting up the first side alliance.  Devin and Donny have agreed to become the Double D alliance.  This might be a good point to mention that it is apparent the not all of our HGs are so fit and trim...and I'm not referring to Donny.  I'm sure a few runs as Have Nots will take that little jiggle right out of them though. 

Paola is getting suspicious of some of the guys early on.  She already commented that Frankie and Cody looked like they were about to "share each others lipstick".  Say what?  Oh yes she did!  Amber was the first to suggest a girl needed to win this year.  Considering it was only the four girls present, this quickly turned into the all girl alliance.  They will now be known as the El Quatro alliance.  I love little Nicole, but just had to laugh when she said she didn't "know what ElQuatro is".

So one group of eight and three alliances already.  Bring on the backbiting!  LOL  

Then came our first HOH competition.  

 

Here is the breakdown on that: 

"Fly A Kite" had our house guests on a log roll style comp, holding onto a kite string.  They all seemed pretty steady in the beginning.  After a bit, the first to go down was Paola, followed by Joey.  Just after that, the challenge was intensified by a good shot of sunscreen.  Almost immediately Nicole slips off.  The rest seem to be hanging pretty well when a switch in the direction of the log roll sent Donny down and Devin so close behind they could have been holding hands!   

This left Cody, Frankie and Amber to battle it out.  Surprisingly, Cody dropped off sixth.  Amber and Frankie were both in great shape when Amber suddenly became fear stricken.  Recalling Julie saying the HOH was not actually safe, she dropped her kite line and let Frankie take it.  

Julie didn't fill them in on all of the info regarding the twist, but she did tell them that there would be eight more HGs joining them and that one of them would also be an HOH.  Without giving details, she simply explained that "by the end of the week only one HOH would be left standing".

It was only in the last few minutes that another twist, the one concerning Team America, was addressed.  We all voted last week for the player that we would choose to align with.  This person has not yet been named, but whoever he or she is, will become the first member of a secret alliance being called the "Team America" alliance.  Over the next two weeks our votes will determine the other two people that will be added to this alliance.  Is it just me or does this sound like America's Player in group form?  

Tomorrow we should find out who the first is, as well as who our second HOH will be.  Oh Big Brother, only one hours worth of programming to hold us over until tomorrow?  Why CBS?  Why?  It seems like so many hours to wait, but luckily late late tomorrow our feeds will come on, and then we will all be set for the summer.

Big Brother 16 Starts TONIGHT!!!!!

It's time! It's here!  It's FINALLY here!  The CBS Big Brother 16 ( #BB16 ) Season officially begins tonight and we couldn't be more excited!  

So tonight is the LAST feed-less night until September -- enjoy your last evening of sleep and make sure you have plenty of coffee for the coming nights!  I'm all stocked up and ready to go!  How about you?  Bring it on Big Brother - we're READY!!

This will be the first-ever 2-night premiere, beginning Wednesday, June 25 and concluding on Thursday, June 26.  After that, we'll finally be granted access to the live feeds ( #BBLF ) and Big Brother After Dark ( #BBAD ), which airs on the TVGN network.  To keep up with all of the different channels, schedules and planned games or activities, just take a look to the left of our page for an at-a-glance rundown.  And be sure to join us on facebook at www.facebook.com/BBBigMouth!

The Nature of the Game of Big Brother (#BB16)

I am being kicked out of #BB discussion groups on facebook like crazy.  And with no warning!  Why?  It isn't for advertising - I have nothing to sell.  For using bad language? No - that's not it.  For attacking other members?  Again, not it.  This leaves me with one last "rule" that could have been broken -- no negative comments?  Say WHAT??  Are these people familiar with the game of Big Brother?  

The whole thing is based on social interaction and interpersonal communication.  The challenges are fun and all, but the bigger game comes down to the house guests, the people and how well they do or do not get along, who they choose to trust, and the repercussions for those choices in many cases.  When the people that get on this show sign up, they know that not everyone is going to like them...in the house or on the outside.  Because that is life!  People do not go around being PC and never uttering a statement that could be construed as "negative" in some fashion.  Can you imagine how friggin boring the world would be if our opinions were outlawed??  

So why do so many of the Big Brother social communities have these moderators that refuse to let someone even say they disliked a house guest?  They are what I now call "Nice Nazis".  In my opinion, these people have an unrealistic view on the game of Big Brother, and life in general.  They should welcome opinions, welcome posts that MANY people respond to, welcome the people that use their opinions to start actual conversations, real human interaction, instead of just saying "Go team!" all the time.  

Big Brother is about people!  People's ideas, thoughts, interactions, arguments, make-ups, personal attitudes and morals (or lack thereof), and are what MAKE Big Brother the amazingly fun show to watch that it is!  So the "Nice Nazis" can have their oh-so-friendly discussions about all of the rainbows and sunshine in their views of the game, but me, I prefer to actually enjoy it, talk about it, and say what is on my mind...and I invite ALL of you to join us!  Please, come be a part of our discussion -- a REAL discussion, with REAL opinions.  We are your place to go to talk BB without all the BS!

Our Big Brother 16 House Guests Character Assassinations...errr, Assessments

Okay...the initial bios and video interviews are here!  We have read them, viewed them, and thoroughly discussed them.  Now let's break this down and give you our first impressions of all the new #BB16 house guests!

The Big Brother Big Mouth HG Breakdown:

What a crew!  At least they are all NEW faces!!  We really, really didn't want to see any returning players, even for an All-Star show.  What we don't care much for is the lack of attention to a more even age range spread and the number of very obvious recruits.  

We've got more than one house guest that has no prior BB viewing experience (other than the seasons they watched while sequestered with nothing else to fill their time).  While this doesn't always affect the game in major ways, we just hate seeing people that get cast for the show as opposed to bringing in people that are truly super fans, people that really, really want to be in that BB house.  

I've said for years - a Summer of the Super Fan theme would be so freakin' awesome!!  Come on CBS - I'm giving you a sure winner here!!

Our BB16 House Guests page gives you a full list of the HGs along with our character  assassinations  assessments of this years crop of monkeys!  Now we sit back and wait for the monkeys to dance!!

Big BB16 Twist Revealed

So Julie Chen finally made the big Big Brother 16 Twist announcement...we sat through several excruciating minutes (17 I think, felt like an hour at least) to get to it. Let's just say it leaves a lot to be desired. 

The Big Brother Big Mouth breakdown:   The big #BB16 Twist starts with two HOHs every week...each HOH will nominate 2 HGs to sit on the block, giving us four people on the chopping block each week.  Here is the big piece that could actually make this interesting (or not, depending on how they utilize it) - neither HOH is automatically safe, instead having to participate in some sort of challenge called Battle of the Block.  Hmm...I'll reserve judgement until we see how this works.  Oh yeah, and they claim that we, the audience, aka "Team America", will get to have a major influence (note that I said influence, not impact) on the game...again, let's see what they actually do with this. 

For me, the hype about revealing this big Big Brother 16 Twist was by far bigger than the actual announcement...we already figured out there were two distinct groups within the house (unless you missed those pics everywhere showing two memory walls).  So a battle between the two - well, no big shocker.  Tell us what you think...after all that IS what this blog is about!  And be sure to join BB Big Mouth on facebook for all the BB16 action! too!  An no BS PC comments either - we want to know what you really think!

Welcome to the Big Brother Big Mouth #BB16 Season Opener Post

For years I've tried to explain to the non-watchers how one can become so completely immersed in a reality TV show.  So far, the best analogy I've found is that we, the true BB fans, anticipate the BB seasons much like a baseball or football fanatic.  Except for us, the season runs 24/7 from June through half of September!  

We have been watching Big Brother since Season 3.  Of course back then, we were network only viewers and didn't even own a computer!  But that finally changed - we got the computer, and alas, did not have a connection fast enough to get the feeds!  So for years we relied on Showtime After Dark and the many, many awesome Big Brother blogs out there for all of the latest news and info.  But then it happened -- a high speed connection was made available to our area (and what luck - just before that particular season was set to start!), and our live feed viewing began.  :) Since then, Big Brother has become our annual full-immersion "sporting" season.  We spend all our time watching and decided we'd share our take on things with someone other than each other, someone like -- YOU! Another BB fan, looking to see what other fans are thinking about these jokers that always fill the house. 

In our house, Big Brother season is also referred to as "Sandwich Season", because BB viewing just doesn't leave time for too time-consuming a dish.  So along the way, feel free to send us any quick-fix dinner ideas you happen upon too!  We'll be here, waiting to give you a no-holds-barred real look at what is going on in the Big Brother house...and yes, it will be filled with opinions and our take on everything -- because we like it that way!

We're looking forward to the Big Brother 16 season, which is already promising "Twist after twist after twisted twist", so be sure to watch on CBS on June 25 , live feeds beginning that very night and catch up on all the happenings with us!!
