Celebrity Big Brother – And So It Begins. Live Blogging First Episode

Good evening, everyone!

Before you ask, I decided not to bother with individual profiles of these people. The season is going to be over before we know it and I personally think most celebrities are fake which makes it very tough to predict what they’re going to do. It’s actually easier to predict unknown amateurs based on small interviews than it is celebrities desperately seeking any bit of attention to give a spark to their dead career.  For example, I already assumed Tom Green would do something like take a crap on the floor but then he comes out and does this weird video where he names almost all the US Presidents (which is even more impressive considering he’s Canadian).

Another random note – I met a lot of Big Brother players this winter! I met Kevin, Brett, JC, Glenn, Kaitlyn, Ramses, and even GinaMarie (even though she blocked me on Twitter). I was meaning to write about it and I still may now that I’m finally back at my computer.

A quick rundown of the season which I probably should have done by now but I’m a slacker:

Here are the days the show will air on CBS:

• Week 1 – Monday (today), Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday  (all times 8 pm est)
• Week 2 – Monday, Wednesday, Saturday (all times 8 pm est)
• Week 3 – Monday, Thursday, Friday (Friday is 2 hours. All times 8 pm est)
• Week 4 – Monday, Wednesday (2/13) (All times 9 pm est)

So that’s 13 episodes in 3 1/2 weeks that runs until the day before Valentine’s Day. That’s probably a good thing because it wouldn’t shock me if half the cast just left if they were forced to do anything crazy like spending a day like Valentine’s Day in the house.

So let’s get started, shall we?

• Tom, Lolo, Kato, Eva, Tamar,  and Ryan are first in the house
  • Tom cracks a few jokes like asking Kato if he thinks OJ is going to come in the house
  • The rest enter the house. Tom is really happy to see Mooch
  • Kandi and Tamar are not fans of each other
  • Tom is getting a ton of DR time so far
• First twist –
  • Celebrity Power Pair. Competing for HoH in pairs
  • One member of the pairing from the winning team will be the HoH
• Pairs
  • Ryan chooses first.  Picks Jon
  • Tamar and Kandi
  • Joey and Ricky
  • Lolo and Tom
  • Dina and Mooch
  • Kato and Eva are paired. They will not compete but they are completely safe from first eviction
• Teams are on swings. They are taking champagne and swinging it over to fill a glass
  • Ryan and Jon win the comp. One of those two will be HoH
  • Now the two have to battle against each other for HoH
  • The loser will be the first nominee

Alright, that’s it for this episode. The HoH will be revealed tomorrow and the live feeds turn on tomorrow night. I’m not sure there will be much to recap from this episode but if I think of something to write, I’ll put it up. If not, see you tomorrow!
