Camera 1 is worth flashbacking to 8:24pm Pacific tonight.
Zach talks to the live feeders and shares his feelings about one... special princess.

You can also watch it on YouTube here.

If you want to watch an entertaining sequence that preceded this, flashback to 6:31pm Pacific.

So HOH is in pairs now instead of 2 comps?

 

[Juke Joint Jezebel]

I think Zach needs to learn how to put a cap on right, It's on a bit wonky there fella.

I really really really do not understand why they cast Victoria. She's so just... worthless? Blah? Like she has no interest in ever participating in the game, she thinks it's summer camp.

Maybe they wanted that Persian/Iranian market?

Plus most of these shows you'll be lucky to get 1/4 of the cast interesting.

They're speculating. It's the conclusion I came to as well before the houseguests even started speculating about it.

They only have time to do one comp. But they need two HOHs. So a paired competition would be the most sensible approach to decide the new Heads of Household.

Ambergate is boiling to a head on the feeds tonight.
Devin is a dead man walking unless he wins HOH or POV. The entire house is chomping at the bit to evict the guy.

Oh now Devin wants to call a house meeting. This ought to be good.
Waterworks from the big man coming right up.

Amber is in tears as well.

How many frickin' people are in the toilet? Loading the feeds was weird cuz it's just an empty bathroom and Caleb sitting in the beehive room alone.

edit: Guess they weren't in the toilet.

double edit: But I made you ice cream why aren't you in love with me?!?!!?

 

[cacophony]

Devin crying

 

[Dinosur]

Devin just told Donny he was the one who got him nominated. What the fuck is going on in this house, it's only the first week!

 

[UberTag]

Caleb & Amber are back together! He can hallucinate about their life together again now.
Donny has forgiven Devin!
Zach wants to ruin Victoria's life!

All is now good in the BB House. Let's all hug!

 

[cacophony]

House meeting time

 

[UberTag]

Operation Back Door Devin in Week 2 seems to be go. Now the whole entire house seems to be on board with the exception of Caleb.

 

[IceCold]

I hope he doesn't leave. He's an idiot and racist/homophobe but he keeps things interesting.

 

[Officerrob]

Derrick is my only hope for this season, he's legitimiatly the only person I like who I feel is playing the game well

 

[Dinosur]

Oh man this is great. Couldn't even finish the first sentence without crying.

 

[IceCold]

lmfao Devin. I wonder if he believes the shit he spews.

 

[cacophony]

this is amazing

 

[Kusagari]

This Devin meltdown has me in hysterics.

 

[Dinosur]

It was so rude that Caleb and Amber didn't show up to that heartfelt speech.

 

[cacophony]

I'm so confused lmao

Devin's funeral

 

[UberTag]

I've got to say Devin's Funeral was pretty entertaining.
Not as entertaining as Dan's Funeral. But not too shabby for Week 1.

 

[IceCold]

Guys, this is only the first week...fucking amazing.

 

[Officerrob]

Meh, you have a couple train wrecks who won't make it long and all that will be left is mostly bad gameplay

 

[IceCold]

You gotta wait for that. There isn't much room for good gameplay in the beginning usually.

Yes there is, good gameplay is laying low and establishing relationships early on. Getting into numerous alliances that blow up, talking about running the house, saving how you are going to win every competition, talking about making jury, saying that your "side" or group will never lose control, isolating yourself, and general incompetence are examples of bad early gameplay, and that's all over this house (except for Derrick)

Wasn't prom supposed to be today?

If everybody was smart and laid low the show would be boring.

 

[Hercules]

link to video of house meeting?

 

[Officerrob]

True, but that would never happen. Laying low works because they always cast a house full of models, outcasts, loudmouths and muscle heads who's only experience with the show is what they watched in sequester. The muscle heads and loudmouths always want to come in and establish their dominance which leads to their eventual downfall. No smart player is ever getting in the way of that. What's going on with the likes of Caleb and Devin is just standard reality show stuff that happens when you cast crazy people, and it gets old. I'm already tired of the Caleb/Amber stuff. It was funny to laugh at crazy lovestruck Caleb, but now it's just getting old and sad.

Prom got cancelled.

True. If you rewatch the older BB seasons, the difference between them and the current ones are huge (Went downhill when Allison Groner showed up). It's not just because they mostly cast wannabee actors/models nowadays, but also because of the editing and more obvious production manipulation.

No shit. They made up and within two minutes he's already back to having the same goddamn conversations about how they're soulmates.

 

[UberTag]

He'll be recounting that Honeycomb Room conversation and mapping out his post-game date for the next week at least until he finds some new wrinkle in this relationship to obsess over and drive everyone crazy with.

 

[Dinosur]

I'm still really interested in how week 2 shapes out. With this twisty twist, it's really fucking randomly hard to actually target a specific person. Do you get the whole house on board and go for the backdoor or what?

Well, if you're planning to backdoor Devin that's not exactly a hard task.

There are two risks that could come into play.
A) Devin wins HOH.
B) Some crazy person wins HOH and nominates Devin initially (not realizing how to backdoor someone) giving him two chances to win immunity for himself.

There's also the possibility that bipolar Devin comes out and says that he plans to out the Bomb Squad if he so much as touches the block. No matter who puts him up there. Because he'll know the Bomb Squad sanctioned it and influenced the HOH even if it's not one of them who did it.

Of course, that's still a risk. Could lead to a bunch of folks in the Bomb Squad throwing HOH tomorrow in hopes that somebody else will win, backdoor Devin and he won't out their alliance.

 

[Dinosur]

Yeah, B is what I'm talking about. Could totally see that happening.

 

[Holmes]

We gettin' there.

Every year it seems like the night before or after the first eviction, the house gets a bit of drama.

 

[RepairmanJack]

I actually hope Devin sticks around. His insane paranoia is hilarious so far. It can only get better from here.

Every year it seems like the night before or after the first eviction, the house gets a bit of drama.

I liked the feeds during season 8 because so much scheming usually happened the day of eviction, where things would change about two/three times before the episode went live. Where most the time the feeds are boring as shit on Thursday's.

Christine seems to be doing a pretty good job of this as well, from what little I've seen at least.

 

[SlowRevolution]

did I really miss a Devin meltdown

east coast stop it

Last year had one of the most surprising power shifts on the day of an eviction (Nick's eviction). I was glued to the feeds the night before and day of.

I feel like most of last years feeds(and season as a whole for the most part) have been whiped from my memory. Any time I think about the feeds I get memory flashes of Amanda and McCrae awkwardly fucking in the photobooth room and then I stop trying to remember last season.

 

[FaintColt388301]

I was trying to say DJ Tonyc and kept messing up saying Techno Tronic. Big Brother is messing with my mind

 

[Blood Diamonds]

We gettin' there.

This is literally what I watch the feeds for but they never do anything while I'm watching, do they do this shit late at night or something?

 

[SmithnCo]

After Dark is the creepy Caleb show, lol. He needs to let it go.

 

[Blood Diamonds]

I hope it's Joey->Devin->Caleb

 

[mohsinkhan]

I hope it's Joey->Devin->Caleb

Internet fistbump.
