Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

Its 2014. "PC" is now defined as "anything offensive I said that I want to say more but you got mad." That way you're never a bigot, everyone else is just always an over sensitive whiner.

Oh boy, I was totally expecting some coaches or some sort of moderating influence, but nope. The cast looks like the normal bunch of assholes, hopefully the drama is non-bigotry or racism related. I think the setup is more to avoid power blocks forming too quick, which I felt hurt the past couple seasons. I look forward to vehemently disagreeing with STAC about most things.

I dunno if I can endure three months of Frankie, but so far he's been tolerable. Since he has a built in voting block because of his sister I have no doubt he'll be the first on Team America gently caress YEAH!.

Speaking of which Team America is really just America's Player spread across 3 people. I hope they give them fun missions and not stupid poo poo like shadow a houseguest for 2 hours.

I kind of like Duck Dynasty Gomer Pyle and Nicole is a cutie although a dimwit. The MILF that we saw a quick shot of coming in tomorrow is easy on the looks.

Pau-Pau is all ready on my nerves but she'll be gone soon enough by playing too aggressive and being a bossy boots.

Hey Teek, any confirmed date when they moved in?

These first two shows are live on tape so when the feeds light up everyone would have gelled and bonded for awhile (Pau-Pau and Cody will be in their honeymoon phase going at it like rabbits). I want to guess their move in was the night before CBS officially released the cast bios which means they've been in there a week all ready.

I have a feeling Frankie is really going to start grating on me before too long.

Every time I see his job listed as "Youtube Personality" I want to punch a kitten. Plus I've never been a fan of those HEY EVERYONE LOOK AT MEEEEEE LOOK AT ME AHAHAHHA LOOK AT THE WACKY THING I'M DOING!! LOVE MEEEEEEEE!!! type of person either on TV or in real life.

Also, that young, blonde nursing student with glasses seems like a sweet girl, but we're totally looking at Jordan II. There's not much upstairs.

The worst part of the episode was Palo basically wanting to gently caress within 10 seconds.

The best was Donny and Devin wanting to jump Joey.

I believe it was last Thursday. Typically it's right around when the cast list is released. There are sometimes move-in zero hour drop outs which necessitate using one of the alternates instead. I think Chef Joe might have been the last one of those to make it in.

If it's following the typical model, the first boot gets around 12-14 days in the house.

Too early to tell how this cast will be with half of them not being around to interact. Time will tell. I hate that we miss an entire week of feeds. I feel like week 1 feeds would probably be the best.

They are just using their regularly scheduled slotted times for the rest of the Summer. It makes sense. I wonder if these two shows were in the span of time of about 8 hours vs. 24 hours that CBS wants us to believe.

It seems like they are trying to heavily structure preset alliances at the start, in order to avoid day 1 strong alliances that ruin the fun.

Does Frankie not realize that if he gets the goodies that an HOH usually gets, one of them will probably contain a picture of him WITH HIS FAMOUS SISTER??? Wouldn't that blow his strategy of keeping it a secret? What a dumbass.

Pictures have to be cleared beforehand by the family and friends who appear in them, so they would only do that if he and his family were completely stupid and did not discuss keeping that a secret before he went in.

First episode was good enough to convince me to throw down for the feeds. Nicole is awesome so far and Devin seems pretty cool too. Mix in a wannabe Fairplay in Zach and I'm sold.

Hardcore on the Nicole train till something changes. She's pretty drat cute for a skinny chick too.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

I think he's pretty silly if he lies or goes out of his way to hide it. I just work under the impression that telling unnecessary lies like that on these shows run too much of a risk of biting you in the rear end. Maintaining a lie 24/7 for months isn't easy and all he has to do is start telling a story or blurt out something related to his famous sister or the stuff he's experienced with her. And if you do maintain it like Matt Hoffman's sick wife thing it can foster some hard feelings with either the jury or the audience. And I really can't do anything but laugh at BB players who haven't learned not to piss off the audience by now.

I'm kind of cold on the premiere but I'm always cold on the start of these seasons. I don't feel strongly about anyone, really. I could see hating, loving, or being totally apathetic to everyone so far. That's probably good. I have no idea about the twists. I always tend to zone out when Julie is explaining poo poo at the end of an episode. So we'll see how that goes.

I did give in and get the feeds this afternoon. So I guess that's another summer down the drain.

I like how they've split the premiere in half Drag Race-style because it's always annoying as gently caress trying to memorize the names-and-faces of the 14 central casting models and 2 regular people they throw in there every year.

You are betting on Adriana Grande passing on the free publicity for an entire Summer. Not gonna happen. No way.

With this cast so far, many will not cotton on to it if she is featured in an HOH photo. Pau-Pau might recognize her with her DJ skillz but I doubt it. The dude with the young daughter may have crossed paths with Adriana via Nickelodeon but I think the MILF with 3 kids coming in tomorrow will lock straight on it. She has kids at the age where they gravitate toward Nick shows.

If she's the type of Mom that watches TV with her kids she's going to key in on Adriana and put it together. Maybe not immediately but Frankie will drop enough clues simply because he cannot NOT talk about himself constantly to give it all away.

And if they dont the producers can give them helpful hints once the show hits a slow patch to create more "content". I dont think there was ever a single contestant in either BB or Survivor who benefited from lying about their profession/background. It's just a stupid move that gets you into trouble.

I had know idea either until I hit her name up on IMDB and saw Nickelodeon tweenie shows all over the place, then I was all... OOooooh! I see what they are doing here.

Veganism is a social faze... eventually they all give up on the granola and demand the beef injection.

Every vegan I've known caved by the age of 30 at the latest. And it's a good thing too, because they all looked sickly as gently caress.

Would anyone actually recognize his "famous" sister? I never heard her name before and have no idea what she looks like, and only know a song or two of hers from the dumb montage they played of Frankie, with what I assume is his sisters music playing?
