Big Brother 20: Season Premiere Blog Party

Welp, it's HERE! As the show airs on the East Coast, I'll be live-blogging it the best I can (considering I might confuse the new hamsters at times). Refresh this page to get the latest! As usual, the real party is in the comments area -- come join in on the fun!

For more information about what you can expect from me, as well as what I expect from you, check out the BB20 blog info post linked here. That also contains a link to the blog pool sign up post. Since the deadline for that is Friday, you have time to sign up! I don't have links which allow me proceeds from CBS All Access live feeds, so ... if you wish to donate via the link on the sidebar, it would be great! This might seem like fun, but it's really a good deal of work. 

Remember ... play nice! Let the show begin. 

Julie Chen is on the BB stage although most we'll see will be taped. We already have a "but first" as she starts the introduction segment. Previous hamsters are in the audience. I won't go blow by blow with the introductions. I've already posted about them. 

The first eight were introduced in clips and are now on stage with Julie. It includes: Tyler, Baleigh, Sam and Winston enter first. The house is done up very differently this season. Steve, Angela, JC and Kaitlyn enter next. Angela already puts a nail in Tyler's (and her own) coffin by going on and on about both being from Hilton Head, SC. (No, I don't believe they know each other.)

Julie tells us that one will win a game-changing power while the others may have their game threatened. 

Time for the introductions for the second group of eight. They too go in four by four. Swag wants to align with Fessy already and JC notices. They discover a third bedroom.

I know I've been quiet a bit. They've just been introducing themselves to each other with their champagne toasts. Already the editing wants to go for the sexual appeal factor. The aura reading hamster thinks Rachel has a red aura which indicates trouble. We'll see.  

They found out Scottie has never been kissed. Called to the living room, Julie promises high-tech twists, etc. She promises BB tech will dominate their summer. They have to get in their gear and head to the backyard.

BB Super Computer -- four men, four girls on each platform. They're battling for the power to reprogram the game. Winner can save him/herself and seven others. The computer crashes, they all pixelate and fall into pools of eight. Then we go to commercial. 

Julie goes to the first eight, tells them they are in the trash holder. They must find the folders marked Escape -- one folder will be marked Escape Play, one person will be without a folder and will face a game changing punishment. Tyler finds a folder and is out first - Escape. He can go to the house or go back to look for the Play folder. He goes to the house. Bayleigh next, goes to house. Brett next, house. Dark hair gal (oops) house. Escape and Play went to Angela. JC found his, house. Winston finds the last one. Kaycee (sp) is without a folder.

Julie promises a twist that will let us impact the game.

The other eight are in the cyber security game. They have to each prove they're not robots. They're hanging suspended and have to spell out houseguest in a puzzle. Last one is like the folder-less one of the first eight. Swag is the first one done and will go against Angela. Scottie was a close second. Steve next. Fessy is safe from punishment. Kaitlyn safe, Rockstar Angie safe. It's down to Hayleigh and Sam. Hayleigh is safe. Sam is figuratively without a folder and will face punishment. 

Bayleigh tries to give Swag advice to not be so cocky about his win. Oops, now they're tight. Weird. He's talking to the feeds that aren't live. Heh. He wants to strike a deal with Angela that they keep each other safe no matter who wins the reprogram. She tells him they need to keep the eight from their platforms safe. That inspires him more for the win.

There are two surfboards in the air and bouncy filmy stuff underneath. Angela and Swag have to "surf the BB web." Last one standing wins. Backdoor webpages, then chopping block pages keep hitting them from behind. Whoa! Swaggy wins!

Reprogram -- He can pick two of the four individual groups that moved into the house. So, they can't go by the eight on the platforms anyway! Can we say Friendship Bracelets Redux?

His own group is safe because he obviously wants to keep himself safe. Brett, Rockstar and someone else. Hmm. 

Meanwhile Kaycee comes back in some kind of rainbow peacock outfits. Pinwheel of Doom.
A robot enters. It's SAM. Well, her voice.

All called to the living room by Julie on the monitor screen. Kaycee has to wear her outfit until the first live eviction. If her pinwheel spins, she has to stay in that room until it stops. With Sam, if she hears Robot Offline, she goes to DR and comes back as human. Robot Online, she makes the trip and comes back as a robot. 

Swaggy saves: Rockstar, Brett and Rachel - his group, including himself. Gruop three Scottie, Hayleigh, Kaycee and Fessy. He says it's because they were all in the second bunch of eight entering the house.

There is a vote to give a special power to a hamster going on at the CBS BB website.

Remember ... tomorrow's show is 9pm ET!
