Julie Chen is back at the Big Brother 17 house with part two of the 2015 season premiere tonight on CBS following last night’s arrival of the first eight Houseguests. It’s time to find out what else they have in store on Big Brother.
Battle of the Block is back and that means we’ll need a second Head of Household to rule beside James Huling, the first HoH of the season. We’ll discover who wins the second part of the HoH comp along with the bigger question of just how many HGs will be entering the house.
Yes, we met 8 of the 14 Houseguests last night but why the uneven arrivals especially when the HoH comp was only made to support 7 at once? Could be a twist or surprise coming our way. I’m still expecting two more and we’re about to find out.
Speaking of twists, we’ll get more on the Twin Twist with who we expect to be Liz Nolan and her sister Julia. But remember, they don’t have to go undetected, they just have to avoid eviction for five rounds for them to play the game together side by side. Think they can do it?
When the episode ends tonight on the west coast the Live Feeds will launch and the Houseguests will be in front of our happy little faces starting right around 9PM PT (12AM ET). To watch inside the house you’ll need your All Access subscription up and running so do that now and be ready to go.
Bonus!: Feeds went live for about ten minutes just a bit ago and we saw lots of Houseguests & some early surprise details! Very, very cool. Flashback to 4:33PM BBT to see for yourself.
We’re getting the Houseguest intros now with Liz, Jason, John, Vanessa, Becky, and Steve. Lots of fun folks in this group and they’re about to meet the rest of the house. Julie tells them they’re late to the party along with the other two twists so far.
HGs split in to two groups: Liz Nolan, Becky Burgess, & Steve Moses followed by Vanessa Rousso, John McGuire, & Jason Roy. The first batch of HGs are waiting there to meet and greet them. Lots of cheers and hugs all around.
Everyone gathers at the dining table to go around and do a full set of introductions. Once they’re done HGs start questioning the two empty seats at the table. They know to expect two final players coming they’re way and here they come. Julie welcomes out Phil Keoghan, the host of Amazing Race. He introduces Jackie & Jeff as the final two HGs and they head on in.
Time for the second Head of Household to be crowned. Everyone gathers for the next comp and once again we have one person needing to sit out. Vanessa volunteers and the other seven prepare for battle.
The comp is called “UFOh No!” just as we knew it would be. The players will be hanging to posts in the ground as tension cables hooked to harnesses are trying to pull them up in to the sky. The design is pretty good but reminiscent of BBCAN2’s cable pull comp.
It’s been going awhile but no one is budging. Wait. Here goes Steve getting slowly sucked away… and he’s gone! After a quick probing the aliens drop him back in the haystack and he’s out of the comp. There goes Jeff who says he threw it. John is about to go next. Yep. That leaves Jason, Becky, Liz, and Jackie are left trying to win. Wait, there goes Becky and Liz.
It all comes down to Jason and Jackie, but Jackie is just a nudge from being pulled off the poll while Jason has a solid grip at the bottom. Jason promises Jackie he won’t put her up if she gives up and it’s a deal she wants. Jason wins HoH.
That’s it for tonight but there’s more Big Brother coming up. Sundays 8/7c, Wednesday 8/7c, and Thursdays 9/8c. No resolution to the Twins Twist, though we know that’s gotta be Liz & her twin Julia. But wait, Phil returns to tell Da’Vonne & Vanessa their risk of sitting out may offer a reward, but then bails before saying anything else.
Okay, Feeds & BBAD launch at 9PM PT (12AM ET) so you know what to do! Get signed up:
Join us on Facebook, Twitter, and by Email Updates for even more Big Brother 17 all summer!
36 minutes and counting. :)
Why is it that every time I see your name, I’m thinking of The Knack. LOL
LOL! My name is Sharon, but when that song came out, I became: SHARONA! Love that song!
I can’t get it out my head. LOL
I had a waitress job at the time and every night while closing, I’d blast the song on the jukebox. I haven’t been called by my real name since 1979! Even my mom called me ‘Sharona’. When I hear it on the radio in my car, I start jamming and car ‘dancing’….you should see the looks I get from the young people who see me.
When I was in college that song had just come out and my favorite frat used to break out singing it every time I walked into the house. LOL
That must have been incredibly cool! I never had a frat sing it to me…a lot of other people, but never a frat. ;)
I love that song!
Who sings it? I’m trying to remember it.
Thank you friend. I don’t know why I couldn’t get to it from my iPad. I guess I’m going to have to start using my laptop. Lol.
Good for you.
Oh good live feeds for me at 9! Finally something for WC!
I’m wondering if Da’V will be included in tonight’s HOH comp since she volunteered not to participate last night??? There’s 7 spots and only 6 new hgs arriving tonight.
Oh, good point Cuddles. I hadn’t even thought of that.
I’m pretty sure we’ll have 8 going in.
According to twitter feeds, CBS photos of Jeff and Jackie from TAR were leaked and they will be joining the cast tonight. So, 8 HGs tonight. What I want to know is why they didn’t squeeze in an 8th board in the HoH comp, unless Jeff and Jackie were last minute additions.
Julie mentioned something about Da’V stepping aside would mean something later. Probably will be the same tonight for the 8th guess stepping aside. Another twist I guess.
Maybe they get a free pass this week.
It has to turn into some sort of advantage.
Are your feeds all set?
No, I still haven’t decide if I really want it.
You’ll be sorry. I can’t wait until midnight!
I’m ready as long as I remember how to get in
I agree, it doesn’t make sense. So another hg will have to volunteer not to compete for HOH. I repeat ~ it doesn’t make sense!
Aha !!! Now I understand ~
FEEDS are up early.
Well they were up for a while, but now we’re back to fish.
Oh the show is on?
That’s what I suspected.
On my screen, it said feeds at 9:00 p.m. West Coast. So midnight East Coast. I guess they’re waiting until show is over on both coasts, and those in between
Oh nevermind I’m West Coast and missed it. Mine says not on until 9 PST
They were on and went off
23 minutes and counting. :) (Yes, I’m going to keep doing it…)
20 minutes and—oh, never mind!
Here we go! Big Brotherhood, it’s ON!
Julie never ages. Why does she keep looking younger?
She’s beautiful.
Money.
Haha
Both.
Plastic surgery?
I’ll be there in a few weeks Vanessa
Doing that trip again this year. Good for you.
Last minute decision. Haven’t been in almost 2 years.
Shelli and Becki look like sisters
Jace is lame!!
Seriously! “Where you from, Sweetheart?”
Wink.
Blech.
sorry Sharona, I didn’t see you there (I made the same comment to K above)
Yeah, well…it better not ever happen again, Missy! ;)
Sharona called me ‘Missy’ ~~~ I feel so so young!
Becki reminds me of Hillary Swank.
Jace/Jerk ~ ‘where are you from sweetheart?’ ~~ UGH!
UGH is right, or as Sharona said, “Blech”.
AAAAND Round 2 here we go!!! Glad I’m not too late to the party.
So do the 2 poker players know each other?
No I don’t think so.
If they do recognize one another I hope they are smart enough to keep it to themselves and work together. But isn’t most of Vanessa winnings online poker?
They would be crazy to say anything. I watch poker sometimes and have seen the blonde, never the black girl. Could be wasn’t watching when she played.
Is Da’Vonne a dealer or player or both?
She is player. Has won 4.5 mil since she started.
Hey, Brenda and WOW, I had no idea.
The blonde won all the money.
I thought there was a chance Da’Vonne would recognize her. It seems not.
Da’V is from Los Angeles, and Vanessa Las Vegas. They probably never cross path.
I don’t think Da’Vonne deals in Vegas
Right
Correction: “Bottle Blonde.” Well, that’s what we call them here in our little trailer park>
It’s actually Vanessa who won all that money.
I don’t know all their names yet.
Da’Vonne is a player? I thought only the blonde was a poker player
Sorry read post wrong, she is a dealer who plays some.
They can call their 2 girl (as the late great Joan Rivers called Annie Duke on her season of Celebrity Apprentice) “poker trash” alliance “Diva Las Vegas!”
What exactly is a “dentist vibe?”
The Jim Raman-type of dentist often depicted on reality TV.
Jim Raman? like as in TAR? please spare me I think I would prefer john. Seems less likely to hold back on the anesthesia.
Usually all the dentists I see on reality shows are the ones that are both muscular (not as big as Jim though) and pearly whites that can emit lightsabers because they’re so shiny.
HA! I just had a strange mental picture of Dr. Wil and Jim battling it out using lightsaber teeth.
OMG
SHUT the heck up JACE!
He’s going to drive me nuts if he keeps it up.
Welcome to the Hotel California.
Such a lovely place.
Guitar riff…
So I said I’d give it a week before I voice my likes and dislikes but I’m already sick of Jace.
I’m already sorry that I said he reminded me of Hayden.
I feel sorry for Hayden spending the couple weeks being compared to this tool.
Love Phil
Phil forgot about Allison from BB4.
Too bad this already leaked out.
I love that Julie is still faking amazement about Jeff and Jackie
Yeah, like no one told her. For all we know, it was Julie’s idea to get them on the show.
They are going in together. Annie get your gun. Targets for sure.
Yeah these things rarely work out for the new houseguests. Just bring them in with everyone else maybe?
“Stuck in this little house” ??? Honey, a lot people would take your place in a heartbeat.
Da’vonne’s constant skepticism is amusing to me.
Get with the times Julie. We already know about all these twists.
I like this twist, Jeff and Jackie will be good at this.
I liked them on TAR I hope they can keep the target off of them.
I’m still excited though. I haven’t watched BB5 when it aired so this is completely new to me as a viewer.
(Although twins/multiplets have been a staple in other BB versions)
I can’t wait to really see them together.
Smart girl Vanessa.
Is it me or is the dentist kind of weird?
Weird is a mild word for it.
It’s not you. I wouldn’t want him working on my teeth.
Agree totally.
I cringed when I saw him flossing ~ yuck!
I would think this is easy to put the fix in.
Well this is new for a change.
Atomic WEDGIE!!
Hahaha
I think he is Pee Wee’s son, seriously!!
Lol
Can we put him in a grey high-water suit with a bowtie and do a side by side?
If they have the movie night comp, I wouldn’t want to sit close to him.:(
Yeah, not likin’ the dentist.
So what is Phil up to now?
The twin twist.
Ooooh, I hope so.
Oh yeah already forgot.
I wish I could.
Doubt it will be that one.
I guess not now.
Wait there not going to reveal about the twins will they? At least not to the house guests. So what will Phil tell them?
Don’t know.
I think Julie said last night that only the viewers will know about the twin twist. The HGs will only found out if the twins make it past the 5th eviction. If they do that they both get to enter the game.
I’m not crazy about the twin twist.
It was Ok the last time, but not that interesting/amusing. Maybe their personality (2 playing for 1 = 1 personality) will win me over.
Jeff please don’t me too confident she might just be the one to evict you.
Another one getting on my last nerve…Jason!
Look up Paul Reubens and check out the resemblance.
I’ll have to.
I had to look up PeeWee the minute I saw him to make sure I wasn’t imagining things
That’s why I made the comment about the movie night. Reubens was arrested for something he did in a theater that was not cool to do in public.
Oh yeah!!! so very shady, I almost forgot about that.
If you are already on your last nerve LG, it’s going to be a long season … :)
Someone said on Twitter that there was a leak in the feeds.
Feeds have been fish. They come on at midnight.
Sometimes leaks can happen at anytime for short durations.
Oh. I know I looked a few times today and they were fish.
It seems they were on for 15 to 20 minutes, probably were doing a test to see if everything work fine.
Yes, they were up for about 15 minutes.Time enough for people to figure out who won HOH
Does anyone else think Jason is annoying. I want him evicted like yesterday.
Ha-Ha-Ha!!! Yes.
Him and Jace!! Buh-Bye.
Hear hear
I agree that Jace is going to be hard to take, but I think Jason might be fun.
I knew it. They’ll be safe.
See you guys Sunday. Nap time so I can watch the feeds!
Yup time for some wine and dinner to kill the time before midnight! Enjoy your nap. So excited for the feeds.
Tonight was kind of a let down….anyone else feel the same way? Going for tonight. Catch y’all on the other side.
Agreed. Wasn’t as exciting as I expected.
I feel the same way for some reason.
Wowser~ What a letdown. That HOH comp was contrived. I didn’t see anyone struggling to hang on and they were hooked to a crane??? How gullible does CBS think we are? I’m happy for Jason/Jittery ~ he probably wouldn’t be able to win a real physical comp.
Oh ~~ I’ve got watermelon chunks for anyone who want them ~~ help yourself ~~
Thank you. Any Tequila to go with that please ?
Sorry Captain ~ I don’t serve alcohol. Would you care for some water or Silk almond milk?
There has to be an easier way to get to the feeds
If you find one, let me know.
I found it, and now I’m not even sure how I got to interactive. I downloaded the CBS app. I think I went to feeds and signed in, but I’m not even sure.
*i think I went to live feeds, then it popped up another CBS screen – interactive, select feeds. I signed up thru Matt’s, so he would get credit, but I think it must be same to get in
You’re fine, I thought you meant a streaming site to show the feeds.
No, I wish
If you find an easier way, let me know
A few observations: John/dentist ~ “I’m gonna play dumb” ~ really? What a quirky sense of humor. Steve is the resident geek. Jace/Jerk is so annoying ~ I want to delete him. Audrey seems to be keeping a low profile. Da’V seems defensive about J & J being hgs. Her unfriendly look did me in.
John and Jace? Haven’t seen it yet
Jackie and Jeff from TAR.
I didn’t care for Jackie towards the end of the TAR. I hope it was because she was tired
I just watched the 1st two hours of BBAD. I’m definitely beginning to not like Jackie ~ she seems dismissive towards the other hgs and very self-centered.
Play?
Good to see Phil ~~ The clips of Screaming/Crying Rachel and J&J just took up time that would have been better spent with the hgs. The commercial breaks are pathetically long. They’re probably longer than the actual show. So disappointed.
He forgot to show footage of Allison and Donnie (the often mentioned boyfriend of hers in BB4 that has since become an ex- himself).
I can’t wait to know what the reward is for Da;V and Vanessa.
A deck of cards and some poker chips!
10 pm East Coast: I’m propping up my eyelids and eagerly awaiting BBAD at midnight. Somebody turn the lights out …
lol. I know I won’t make it. Tomorrow’s my last day of work, though I’ll only get a week off before my summer job starts.
Okay, so… not liking Jace, DEFINITELY not liking Liz – I really hope her sister’s not gonna be that annoyingly obnoxious because I don’t know if I can take two of them being in the house.
I’m watching it right now. The first 15 mins. I’ve concluded that Jace is a dick.
There is no hope ~ just watched the 1st two hours of BBAD and Jace is definitely the Jerk I’ve been calling him.
I predict Jackie & Jeff will have a huge target on their backs. I think the feeling will be that they have already had their moment in the sun.
Sort of just ok for me. TAR couple is just an easy target. John is annoying me because I hate it when people yell in the diary room. Too many did it in the past and I can’t take it for long. There is a mic in there and someone should tell him that. I thought that the HOH seemed easier than the first 1. Not easy but not as hard to do, did not require much more than a will to hold on.
Oh god the yelling, why is he yelling so loudly? I hate him.
I need help please. I signed up for all access/live feeds. I’m watching on my laptop, but for the life of me can’t figure out how to watch on my phone. I downloaded the CBS app. I can’t find anywhere that leads me to the feeds. Im logged in but everywhere asks me to sign up n try out the free week. Anyone?
First impressions: I really like this cast so far. Definitely one of the most diverse and very few stereotypes (at least for now).
