I will be live blogging the best I can with the major events as the show airs here on the East Coast. As always, the real party is in the comments area. I hope to see you there!
As per the norm, we will sit through the "previously on" segment.
The show picks up when they come inside from the HOH comp. Lots of introductions going around. Alyssa says she will play her social game in hopes of staying in the game. The Backstage Pass holders are very confused. Brittany is lying, claiming she's a toy tester. That makes me think of an old Tom Hanks movie.
Hmm. The editing is already pushing a Monte/Taylor connection. Turner claims to be an artist/rug maker. Okay. Indy says she's in training to become a sex coach. Oh my.
The Backstage Pass three women get black t-shirts which read Backstage while Pooch has a yellow t-shirt that reads Backstage Boss. The girls are upset that they have to wear them all week.
BB has an announcement for them -- Have Nots. Michael volunteers, as does Joseph ... then Monte and Kyle. The Have Not room has pool floaties for beds and they get towels as blankets.
Daniel and Nicole seem to be bonding. Daniel tells us he has decided she is going to be his final two. Nicole is already considering him her ride or die. They're calling themselves the Rogue Rats.
Paloma tells Alyssa there are snakes in the house. They decide they're a final two, ride or die.
They have the yard with the pool table -- there's a bumper pool table in the house -- and pool. Taylor is mingling with the men at the pool table. Paloma picks up on it and, whether jealous or not, fusses in the Diary Room about it. Now Ameerah and Brittany have joined in as Paloma trash talks Taylor because she's hanging out with the boys. She thinks they should band together and get the strong boys out of the house.

Alyssa thinks Newark is a country. She was actually thinking Denmark. I live near Newark. It's not the happiest country (or city) in the world.
Ameerah goes to talk to Daniel. She tells him that the Have Nots volunteered to be such to avoid being nominated for eviction. He hadn't thought of that but now thinks it makes sense.
Jasmine lost her father with whom she watched BB. Paloma was talking ti to her about it and now respects her so much for opening up to her. Okay.
Michael goes to talk to Daniel in the HOH Room. He's coming across as nervous to me. Daniel, who prides himself on being a superfan, doesn't trust Michael, who tells him he's a superfan.
Terrance wants to lay low and make relationships. That said, he mentioned that he hasn't spoken game with anyone. He feels he doesn't fit in.
Paloma is pushing Taylor as a nominee to Daniel.
Time for the Nominations Ceremony. Daniel nominates Terrance, then Michael. He says it is because they haven't spoken enough or at all any game to him. He tells us that Terrance is his pawn, Michael is the target.
