First Show Of BB10!
After watching the first show tonight, I believe this will indeed be a freaking fantastic season! Thirteen people and all strangers? Oh yeah! Bring it on!
I was glad that they didn't spend too much time on everybody getting their Big Brother keys back home. That segment usually drones on but it seemed shorter tonight and I was happy about that. For those of you that wonder about this sort of thing though, April was the first hamster shown to get her key.
The hamsters looked really shocked when Julie told them about the game beginning before they enter the house. Nervous laughter and wondering looks at the others -- it was priceless. I liked how they did the voting. Everybody stepped down to a short wall where they had a notebook with everybody's pictures inside of it. Julie told them to vote for one of their fellow housemates to become the first HOH. But did Julie tell them who won HOH after they finished voting? Of course not! I knew she was going to drag it out for a couple of segments.
Renny, Dan, Angie, Jessie, and April made up the first group to enter the house. Then Libra, Brian, Keesha, and Memphis entered. Finally, Steven, Jerry, Michelle, and Ollie entered. There was no arguing over rooms or beds and everything seemed to go swimmingly. Well, except for Renny's weird comments while everybody was working things out. It seems she rubbed Angie and April the wrong way from the get go.
Everybody then gathered around in the living room and introduced themselves to each other. That's when Jerry (and many others) got to feel up April. Her boobs are real! Her boobs are real! Personally, I could care less. But hey, a woman offering others up a feel will always make an interesting first impression. Renny didn't appreciate April's openness though and thought it was inappropriate. I wonder if Renny was jealous that nobody accused her having fake breasteseses.
The others' introductions were way less dramatic. The big omission I caught was that Steven did not tell the others that he was gay. Libra told them all about her twins being different skin colors and Memphis made sure to tell everybody he was a mixologist. Dude, you're a bartender. Deal with it!
Before they found out who the HOH was, they had a competition! Yay! The competition was called "Buggin' Out" it was a really cool looking comp. They split into two teams of six (Jessie decided he would sit out) and gathered in the backyard. It would be team red against team white. The backyard had two classic cars (a 1966 Mustang and a 1969 Camaro) and somebody would be winning one of the cars. (I want the Camaro!!!) But first, each team had to get all of their team members into a Volkswagen Bug that was hanging upside down.
Each team had to pull their Bug across the ropes it was suspended on. They had to pass to one side of the yard to gather a gas can and then pull the Bug to he other side where one member of the team would be kicked out of the Bug. If you were kicked out though, you wouldn't get the chance at winning one of the classic muscle cars. The final person left in the car on the winning team would got the chance to pick which car they wanted. Also, the winning team would be eating regular food for the week while the losing team would be on slop!
The red team won easily! Memphis was the last person left in the red team's car and chose the Camaro as his prize. Why did he have to be the one that won? It had come down to Memphis and Steven in the Bug and both really wanted the car. But Steven was a big enough man and chose to bow out and let Memphis take it. I think that's going to be a good move for Steven later on in the game.
They were then called back inside to find out who the first HOH would be. Renny came in second place with three votes. With four votes, Jerry was elected the first HOH and a little while later everybody came up to check out his HOH room. Complete with tons of pictures from home and his United States Marine Corps blanket, the HOH room looked very cool! With less than 24 hours before nominations, we were treated to some segments that showed us a little more of the hamsters' personalities in the house.
