If you are on the West Coast . . . beware this post has spoilers!

ChenBot introduced us, as usual, revealing the dynamic duo twist that would change everything. Then the narrator explained how the game is played, yada yada.

ChenBot basically talked about how Dynamic Duos have always ruled the game, and this season they’ll rule like no other. She revealed we would meet the first 8 contestants, and all would be forced to pair up and play the game together, not as individuals. She also revealed 3 pairs of past house guests were coming back.

We then met all the new 8 guests, saw them get their keys, and their excitement. Off the bat, Keith and his “angels” plan annoyed the crap out of me.

Julie sent the first four into the house and choose their bed. As they went in, someone smartly noted there were only 8 of them.

Lawon is literally a male version of Rachel. He might have to go and soon, because I can’t listen to him all summer!

All 8 figured there was a twist, there were more to come. They then introduced themselves, most lying as to what they really do so as to not fall victim to various prejudices.

The first twist was revealed, and the first 8 were forced to pick partners and play the game as pairs. They got to pick their own pairs. If any person wins HOH, both of the team are safe. However instead of nominating two separate house guests . . . . they nominate a duo who have to campaign against each other to stay!

The first four pairs are . . . .
Keith and Porsche
Shelly and Cassie
Dominic and Adam
Kalia and Lawon (who got stuck with one another, much to Kalia’s dismay)

Julie Chen then revealed the next twist, they weren’t the only pairs playing the game. The new guests realized it had to be old guests returning, and they all swore to stick together against the others.

The doorbell rang, and in walked the first duo

BRENDON and RACHEL! Who are engaged.

The doorbell rang again and in walked . . . .

JEFF and JORDAN! They are still together with one another. Jordan said they’d been together a year and a half . . . Jeff had to point out they met 2 years ago here . . .

Finally we learned who the third pair were . . . .

DICK and DANIELLE! Danielle now has black hair.

We also learned that Dick and Danielle haven’t spoken in three years!

BTW I removed Dick from the sites banned words 🙂

Julie Chen then revealed there was still one more twist to come.

The first HOH game was played. Jeff was fearful the past house guests were targets, and hoped a returning guest won.

The HOH game involved everyone having to hold onto a large banana (in teams) which of course swung around and stuff. It was the usual endurance challenge. What goes well with bananas? Chocolate and whip cream, which is what was sprayed on them.

The first HOH of the Season ended up being . . . . . Rachel! She promised the remaining two, Dick and Danielle, they’d be safe.

Rachel and Brendon are safe . . . and if she keeps her word so are Dick and Danielle!

Another twist however remains, as teased by Julie . . . .

Julie then revealed that being nominated for eviction is a blessing and a curse. The house guests who survives eviction will get “The Big Brother Golden Key.” It guarantees you a spot in the top ten! Anyone who survives eviction for the first 4 weeks gets immunity from eviction, but also will not participate in competitions.

How the veto will work was not explained. We can guess if one person wins veto, they save both?
