A few things before we get started ...
--IF YOU HAVE NOT YET SIGNED UP FOR THE BLOG POOL, PLEASE GO TO THIS POST LINKED HERE TO JOIN IN ON THE FUN. IF YOU SIGNED UP ANYWHERE OTHER THAN THAT SIGN UP POST YOUR REQUEST WILL PROBABLY BE MISSED. SO, CHECK TO MAKE SURE YOUR REQUEST IS THERE! THE DEADLINE IS FRIDAY, BUT DO IT NOW!
--There are sixteen new hamsters and the commercials indicate that the prize money has increased. So ... are we up to a million now? I don't know, but it could be. We'll find out tonight.
--Tonight's show is a live move-in. That means they are meeting each other on live TV as we watch. It's a 90-minute show. From previously released information, they will be split into teams of four with team captains choosing their teams; only the team captains will compete for HOH if my understanding is correct. The HOH winner will get some kind of "offer they can't refuse" from Julie.
--The live feeds go live tonight after the West Coast live show ends. So, we're talking 12:30AM (or later) here on the East Coast. While I won't get a live feeds report up right then and there, I will be watching and compiling intel for an early morning (or late late late evening) report.
--Even though I have seen all the photos, it's still hard in the beginning of the season to get the names right. Please bear with me and forgive my name glitches and typos!
I'll be live blogging the show and constantly updating this post with the major happenings and some minor happenings, as well. Refresh the page to get the latest news! As always, the real party is in the comments! No face masks or even vaccinations needed for the party!
***************************************
Let the show begin! Julie, in a simple yet stylish red dress, welcomes us to the BB Beach Club. The narrator promises big risks, big rewards and the biggest prize ever. Julie tells us we'll find out how much the winner gets later.
Now we're into the hamsters finding their keys ... four men first. Travis, Derek F, Frenchie, Xavier. They are on stage with Julie. She promises great things. They go in and are directed to the backyard to compete in their first competition. They dawdle admiring their new digs.
The backyard has a casino set-up with The Kick-Off Comp. Whoever wins can immediately change the course of the game. The winner will be eligible to win HoH. They have to arrange travel posters to match a set travel poster. It's the Have Not Pool Poster. Five pieces of plexiglass to the puzzle. FRENCHIE WINS!
Next it's the first four women. Azah, Britini, Alyssa, Whitney (blog cheering please as one of us knows her). None them admit to being a gambler when Julie asks. She tells them that's important this season. They go in and head to the backyard. Slowly, just like the guys. Same comp, different puzzle. The four guys already in are watching from above. WHITNEY WINS!
Julie's back. Next group of four men. Kyland, Christian, Derek X, Brent. They are told to immediately head to the backyard. They don't dawdle AS MUCH. Same comp, different puzzle -- Blindside Beach. The previous eight hamsters above watching. CHRISTIAN WINS! Julie keeps promising the first twist of the season after the last group of four is in.
The final four women ... Sarah, Hannah, Claire, Tiffany. Tiffany is the only one really emphatic about being a risk-taker. They enter the house. They hug and ooh and ahh. They dawdle. They notice the No Risk No Reward decoration. Same comp, different puzzle -- Betray Showmance. CLAIRE WINS!
So, it's Frenchie, Whitney, Christian and Claire. Julie tells us that the hamsters don't know but they'll be playing in teams of four. They will be drafting the teams after commercial.
Those winners of the comps are now team captains. It's the BB Open Casino. They're all in the backyard. Julie tells them teams of four. The "losers" are on the balcony watching while the team captains are down on the lawn. They hit the button to start the slot machine. They get a bit of info about two hamsters and choose between them. Each team has two men/two women.
Names predetermined by BB -- Frenchie has the Jokers -- his choice is Hannah or Azah. He chooses Azah. Round two -- between Sarah Beth and Britini, chooses Britini. Travis or Derek F, Derek F.
Whitney has the Aces -- she chooses between Brent and Travis, chooses Brent. Round two -- between Derek X and Derek F, chooses Derek X. Hannah or Sarah Beth, Hannah.
Christian has the Kings -- he chooses between Alyssa and Tiffany, chooses Alyssa. second round -- Xavier or Derek F, chooses Xavier. Sarah Beth goes to the Kings as the last female.
Claire has the Queens -- chooses between Kyland and Xavier (who lies saying he's a bartender), chooses Kyland. Second round -- Sarah Beth or Tiffany, goes with Tiffany. Travis goes to the Queens as the last male.
The teams will be vying against each other for HOH and the team captain of the winning team will be HOH.
Time for the HOH Comp. Captain is HOH, entire team is safe for the week. House of Cards. Each captain must build house of cards on platform while teammates hold the platform steady. Giant cards will fall down on them to mess them up. Last place team become Have Nots.
FRENCHIE AND THE JOKERS WIN! The others keep playing to determine last team. The Queens, number two. Aces are in third. Kings and Christian are Have Nots.
Julie will announce the prize increase and offer Frenchie an offer which might be too good to refuse after commercial.
Julie addresses the hamsters, still in the backyard. Julie tells them the winner will get three-quarters of a million instead of a half-million. Another big reward could be handed out tonight. Offers Frenchie a double or nothing offer. Two weeks of safety, land the two oversize dice on the table. If he fails, he loses HOH. Claire would become the new HOH. Goes to commercial while Frenchie considers the risk to give his team two weeks of safety instead of one or keep the one for sure.
Frenchie decides NOT to do it. Julie has him do it for kicks. He just made it with like a second to spare. For fun, though.
Julie promises a new comp ahead -- the Wild Card Comp.
There is no show tomorrow night. Sunday is the next episode.
An added plus for the diversity of this season -- I CAN TELL THE HAMSTERS APART AND I'M EVEN BETTER WITH THEIR NAMES! WOOT!

Friend!!! Hello! Hi Ed!
Joe has class (yes, he does but he is teaching one, too) but he will try to join when he can.
Cool comp
Hey Jackie - they totally robbed you of the POOL IDEA !
Way to go Frenchie
Hi Petals!
Hi Monty............Homie!!
I love Frenchie, but isnt the first HOH bad luck? Frenchie needs to lay low.
Hi Glenn. Everyone in the path of Elsa, be safe!
I brought strawberries, shortcakes and whipped cream. Over at the bar with all the drinks :)))
Wow Frenchie won first Comp
Glenn how is it looking down your way?
Worked for what's his name last year, Petals - LOL
SO here is a real question: WE all remember Joe Frazier, but how many of the other hamsters will? Will it be an issue?🥊
yeppers
Let’s hope this season is a little more exciting than last year.
Homie... didn't see you pop in! How's the weather up north?
So excited- do we think Derek went slow on purpose? Seems that way to me
and I have no idea about last year, b/c my brain is fried. I only remember the King & Queen
It always got me why a person would want to be the first HOH. It always puts a target on their back.
Btw- hey everyone,
Md in the house lol
Petals I won a bet in the third grade on the Frazier Ali fight. A whole TEN cents... a won a DIME off of Tyler Penny, LOL
Hi Monty. Thanks Pedals was Derick F first Houseguest to enter the house
Cobra Kai lol
Oh, I brought Pinot Grigio and chocolate chip cookies. They are on the side table!
she is v pretty, Azah.
TEEEB ! Didnt see you come in! :)
Monty, Thunderstorms moved thru a couple hours ago, more on the way. And man it's been hot. How is it down south?
ok not a fan of britini
Yes
Cheryl not looking bad yet. Suppose to start getting Rain Etc in the early Morning
Being the first HOH can be a good thing because everyone comes to you and wants to work with you... that's how Cody gained such a big group last year.
love Whitney already
hot and stormy here in savannah
Hi folks
Hey Joe
I'm here lurking and just to remind everyone to go sign up for the pool!! (I tried to do this from my phone and it just went POOF) We have a BIG pool and it will be fun!
Save me a cold one - I'll be back in a few!
Squeegee
Hey Joe
Joe you made it !
SQUEEEEEE
Hey Squeeg
Is it just me, or does Whitney look completely different from her pic/video?
I wonder if they would be allowed to do on platform thing before sliding
fish... LOL
Hello everyone. =) Just dropping in to see what is going on as the show doesn't start here for another 40 minutes. Can't wait to finally kick off summer the best way there is.
Same here. Ed! We had storms this afternoon and it has been hotter than ****
Hey Dave
Hey David
They said they aren't gamblers. Yet, every year they tell us that they are doing this to help their families. So, if your pathway to helping your family is to WIN PRIZE MONEY, aren't you a gambler?
Hi Joe. Britni the second Captain
Petals, I thought the same thing about Whitney, didn't look quite the same.
p.s. Sorry about RF :((
Hi Suegee
Hey David
Thanks Ed. It is nearing the end of his time. He made up for it in the press conference when he answered the questions in FOUR different languages.
Fresh prince of bel air…
Curls? Been there (Tyler), done that (Frank)
Ok I guess I never got the memo half of MD was allowed on the show this year lol
speaking of TENNIS!!
I missed his job but is it just pushing a suitcase lol
He gives Cody/Caleb vibes
Lol, Jon!
I'm surprised more of them didn't realize that it was quicker to assemble on the ground 1st without sliding them in.
not fair the others get to watch
Laying them out on the ground saved him a lot of time
Jon - He's a flight attendant.
Definitely Joe and Ed. Great strategy
That cat is tooooo fat.
Claire looks different now too
I just can't with SaraBeth fashions...ick factor for me.
Interesting stories and Team Captains so far.
looks like quite a few fans on there this year
Tiffany - you WILL lose those braids. hahaaa
Interesting
Julie looks different somehow, doesn't she?
Teams of 4? This ought to be interesting!!
I'm not a fan of the team seasons - sigh
Except for Jordan's win, LOL
Joe - she looks less "glam", maybe? But otherwise no huge change, IMO
Claire the last team Captain
Hello everyone!!! Splash! I haven’t been able to tune in yet, the hubs was in a car accident, car totaled, but thankfully NOT hurt!! Wanted to say hello and I will have to watch later!!!
Ok the Doogie Howser girl, I can eat a can of pringles in less then two minutes… your move lol

Whitney actually has a good team so far.
Derek X is an Ace. and he plays tennis.😆
OMGosh, Jennifer. I'm glad he wasn't hurt. But WOW!

Oh, Jennifer ... glad he's okay!
Derek is funny.
What is it? $525,000? LOL
Claire has a pretty steller team
hahahaha Penny
Sorry to hear that Jennifer, glad your hubby's OK
Cheryl NC, I think he's arrogant, but he looks like he's really athletic, that might help.
I agree Cheryl, I kinda' like Claire's team. Ya' never know about personalities though
I just hope the team twist doesn't last long.
.....I kinda' like Claire also
This is WILD 😂
Didnt this happen to Kevin Spacey early zing lol

I like Claire too. She was the alternate this year.
Frenchie put a target in his back…

Good night, Petals
No wsy

I wouldn't do it...
Don't do it Frenchy. If you fail, they will nominate you.
no way...
I wouldn't do it, but I would ask my team what they thought
you gotta say no and hope one of your teammates pulls out a win next week
much better way to go
I would refuse the offer, It wasn't an offer to good to refuse.
Maybe he should have missed on purpose
but it aint the same when you are under pressure to do it
Well, he wasn't under any stress, so...if he had done it, he might have failed.
See everyone next week!! Thank you, Jackie!
Thanks Jackie. Will see all of you fine folks on Sunday and in the comments! 💕

I miss you all! Finally home, thank you for the well wishes, hubs is in bed and will be ok!!
Good night all. and yes, thank you Jackie.
Oh man, Jackie - there are a lot of fish, and the music is terrible.
Jackie - they are calling Derek F "Big D".
Fenchie - married? b/c when he was talking to a a small group earlier, they asked if it was him & wife & kids on his farm, he said, "NO, it's me & my dad". Then later, a different group, he says, "I told my wife I was going for first HOH"
Petals - He said he and his dad run the farm. If you listened, his next sentence mentions his wife, then the kids. Yes, they are calling Derek F Big D and yes the music is horrible.
