Big Brother 8 Season Premiere

The show is about to begin! Cue the music. Tingles beginning. Woohoo! It's awn!

*watching show*

Show's over. Wow. Talk about some over the top drama queens! I think I'm gonna love it. LOL

The show begins with 11 of the hamsters gathering in front of the house meeting each other for the very first time. They are: Amber, Carol, Daniele, Eric, Jameka, Jen, Joe, Kail, Mike, Nick, and Zach. They get to go in by three groups to pick their beds. Group #1 was Carol, Joe, Mike, and Amber. Group #2 was Nick, Daniele, and Jameka. Group #3 was Kail, Jen, Eric, and Zach. Of course the bigger beds get taken first. Did you know Zach is like outrageously tall! Wow. Eric mentions he is only 5'7" and picks a short bed.

So after beds are picked, everybody sits down in the LR to chit-chat and introduce themselves. Nothing too much to take away from that except Daniele lied and said she's already 21. Kail didn't admit to owning multiple businesses and instead just said she was a real estate agent. Jen went on and on about all of the things she's doing and Carol mentioned in DR that she found Jen annoying because of her "gigantic boobs". Joe finds Nick attractive. Kail (in DR) says something about not being able to understand if any of her children were gay. Jameka (in DR) says she's not used to being around all of these white people.

Julie tells us that there are three other hamsters in the house already and they're in the HOH bedroom. Of course, they're Dick, Dustin, and Jessica. They're able to watch and hear the 'Original 11' in the living room on the screen in the HOH. Dustin tells Dick and Jessica that Joe cheated on him with his friend. Jessica says that she and Carol haven't spoken in 3 years (they had some falling out over $5 being loaned out in junior high but that's not what caused them to not be BFFS forever). At one point, Jessica thought she saw a ring on Carol's finger (duh Jessica, it was her right hand and not her left) and blurts out that Carol is not a loyal person. Dick says he hasn't spoken to his daughter, Daniele, in 2 years.

Julie tells the 'Original 11' (O11 from here on out) they they need to get ready for the first HOH competition and tells them that there is another group of housemates that have been watching and listening to them this entire time. She also tells them that the other group will not be competing for HOH.

After a commercial break, the O11 are in the backyard amidst mushrooms and green astroturf and told to team up in twos. The odd man out won't be competing. That odd man would be Nick. Hehehe.

The name of the HOH comp is 'Mushroom Madness'. In each pair, one person will be answering a series of True/False questions while the other person has to sit atop a mushroom behind them. If their partner gets the T/F question wrong, their mushroom will start to spin faster and faster blah blah. Last team still standing (or sitting rather) wins.

Carol & Amber were eliminated first. Then Zack & Jen. Now the questions were over. Endurance begins now. Those still on their mushrooms had to just saute, I mean sit, it out. They had gunk exploded on them earlier as well as some kind of powder. Hmmmm.

The teams still left are Joe (mushroom-sitter) and Jameka; Mike (mushroom-sitter) and Daniele; and Kail (mushroom-sitter) and Eric.

Mike falls off so him and Daniele are out. Then Joe falls off thereby eliminating himself and Jameka. Kail & Eric are the final team standing. But wait. Julie has an announcement.

Only 1 of them can be HOH and the person that will be the first HOH of BB8 will be determined by the 3 other hamsters the O11 still haven't met. Julie also tells them that the 3 are safe from nomination this week. Rut roh. Anyways, the 3 choose Kail to be the first HOH. That makes Eric very happy as he didn't want to be HOH. He wants to be one of those 'under the radar' type of players.

Ooooh. A House Call commercial. I wonder if it starts tomorrow (12:00 ET). It didn't say.
