Big Brother 11: Season Premiere
(S11E01) Yes, summer's guilty pleasure has returned. Big Brother 11, complete with a pregnant ChenBot, is here for our amusement. Did I say amusement? Gee, I meant our entertainment.Tonight's season premiere brought about some changes which are going to alter how the game is played. Sure, someone will be voted out each week. But with the high school clique thing going on, it's not just the person who wins the head of household who's safe each week.
I've already mentioned that I'm not all that keen on the whole clique idea. I'm still not and not just because of the whole teen angst thing. With the mystery 13th houseguest, there's an added dimension. Read on.
As it was the season premiere, we had a lot of fluff tonight. Introductions amongst the houseguests, the scramble for beds, little Diary Room bits in which the hamsters vented or praised each other. Now, all of that went on for at least the first half-hour of the show. And here's what I got out of it:
- There is one more houseguest than there are beds.
- All the girls think Jeff is cute.
- I think Jeff is cute.
- Kevin is very flamboyant, sometimes quick-witted, other times annoying.
- Lydia seems normal despite her tattoos.
- Braden isn't the sharpest tool in the shed. But, don't fear. He is indeed a tool.
- Ronnie is a married Momma's boy and not quite what I expected.
- Russell (the love muscle) is very cocky and looks like a pit bull.
- Natalie lied about her age, saying she's 18, not her actual 24.
- She thinks they'll be all protective of the kid or something.
- Kevin saw right through the age lie.
- Casey is Vanilla Ice gone seedy.
Then the twist came ... Julie told them about the high school cliques. The show assigned Michele, Chima, and Ronnie as the Brainiacs; Casey, Lydia, and Kevin as the Off-Beats; Russell, Natalie, and Jeff as the Athletes; Braden, Jordan, and Laura as the Popular kids. But what they didn't know was that there were four former hamsters, each assigned a clique, just waiting to join the household. Only one would make it in. However, that person wouldn't just make it in the house, he would be the new head of household. Oy.
Away from the new hamsters, there was Jessie (BB10 - Athlete), Cowboy (BB5 - Way Off-Beat), Jessica (BB9 - Popular), and Brian (BB10 - Brains). The new hamsters played the HOH comp as a team with their clique-mates. If a clique wins HOH, all of its members are safe from nomination that week. Hmmm ... I'm not so sure whether they'd be safe if someone wins POV and takes off a nominee. Did anyone catch that when Julie was explaining?
The HOH comp had the hamsters hanging onto a toilet seat while in giant granny-panty underwear. (Have I mentioned that no one normal really wants to go on these shows?) In the end, the Athlete clique won. Sigh. Now we have Jessie the Pinhead Tool in the house as head of household. Why? Why?
So the Athlete clique is safe and they have four members to three on every other clique. I foresee a Survivor-like situation in which the weaker tribe is picked off one by one until there are none. How about you?
| Yay! | |

| Nay! | |
| Why'd they bring Jessie back? |
