Recapping/commenting regularly on reality television shows is totally new for me, so I'm not quite sure how these posts are going to go. I'm going to fly by the seat of my pants for now!
Episode One
~ Short Recap ~
The celebrities entered the Big Brother house! Almost immediately, a women's alliance plus Ross was formed. Shannon won HOH but the episode ended with a cliffhanger... The house guests each chose a gift bag which may give one of the the power to "recast" the role of HOH with themselves.
~ Random Thoughts ~
- It's annoying to have a whole HOH competition just to have the HOH "recast". What was the point of the comp?
- Omarosa was safe from being nominated by random draw. Yeah right, CBS. You WILL NOT CONVINCE ME you didn't rig that for her.
- Brandi Glanville needs to tone it down on the lip injections.
- I love that they are doing the same crazy endurance comps for the celebs that they do for the regular seasons. This feels like Big Brother!
Paul said, "It looks like she's wearing a red trash bag."
D.
Juuuuulie! You are so beautiful! But you need to fire your stylist! This dress was just so ill fitting, the length was odd, and the shoes were too clunky. Maybe it's one of those dresses that look better in person, but this is a television show so viewers don't get to see it in person. Julie should have worn something way more "red carpet" to go with the "Awards Ceremony" theme of the night. How about a dress like this:
Like/Dislike/Neutral
Like: Ross, Marissa, Shannon, Mark, Chuck, James
Dislike: Brandi, Omarosa
Neutral: Keshia, Ariadna, Metta
Episode Two
~ Short Recap ~
The girls are playing hard, particularly Shannon, who has been getting a lot of intel from everyone. The boys were getting scared and even though Chuck promised not to open his gift bag, he decided to anyway. The girls alliance and Ross opened there's as well. Keshia ultimately won the recast power, became HOH, and nominated James and Chuck with James as the target.
~ Random Thoughts ~
- I love that most of the people in this cast are "older". In the regular BB seasons, so much of the cast is in their 20s. Over half of this celeb cast is 38 or older. In fact, most are in their 40s.
- I would definitely do Big Brother if it was only 3 weeks. I couldn't do a normal 3 month season.
- In regards to Omarosa expressing her regret to Ross about voting for Trump... I don't believe that for one minute. Omarosa is there for her own self interest and headlines. CBS will air all of it for the ratings. I don't believe a word Omarosa says and I think everything she does is driven by self promotion.

"Thank you for my nail." -Chuck Lidell, sucking up to the girls after he let them apply a fake nail on his pinky.
Like: Ross, Marissa, Shannon, Mark, Chuck, James, Keisha, Metta... and omg I kind of liked Omarosa in this episode.
Dislike: None (That's no fun!)
Neutral: Ariadna, Brandi
Also, I am living for Ross and his sleep mask....
Episode Three
~ Short Recap ~
Shannon won the iconic spelling veto comp. Keshia and Omarosa wanted Shannon to use the veto to take down Chuck and put up Mark. Shannon did not think that was good for her game, so she didn't do it. Omarosa and Keshia now have a side alliance. Everyone had planned to vote out James but Shannon and Ross flipped most of the house at the last minute and voted out Chuck. Omarosa and Keshia were totally blindsided and the girls alliance was decimated!
~ Random Thoughts ~
- It is so refreshing that despite the house guests being celebrities, BB still does messy comps, assigns punishments (Ariadna and James had to dress up like babies and only crawl for two days), and makes fun of them on the broadcast show with the edits and sound effects.
- Loved the live commentary from past Big Brother winners Ian, Derrick, Nicole, and Josh. But why did Nicole forget to put on pants?
- Julie played a fun game with the house guests where they had to guess whether a news headline was true or false. You should have seen their faces when they heard the Eagles won the Super Bowl!
- METTA WORLD PEACE HAD THE MOST ICONIC VOTE CASTING IN THE HISTORY OF BIG BROTHER! We were laughing so hard. And guess what? Later that night via the live feeds we found out that when he said he was "voting for Chuck", he thought it meant he was voting for Chuck to STAY. So he made a mistake in his voting! Wow, Metta is a hot mess!
A+.
Absolutely STUNNING. Julie, you are rocking this look!

"They all nerds. They spellin'." -Metta World Peace during the veto comp.
"I'm wearing that bitch's shoes. She's my bitch." -Brandi in the DR talking about Omarosa and apparently... wearing her shoes? (Side note: Brandi is a hot mess. Do you think when your name ends with an "i" you are destined to be a hot mess?)
Like/Dislike/Neutral
Like: Ross, Marissa, Shannon, Mark, Chuck, James, Metta
Dislike: Keshia, Omarosa (back to not liking Omarosa, yay!)
Neutral: Ariadna, Brandi
Anything thoughts on CBB so far?

I was watching and wondering if you'd recap this because I missed the last episode. You're right that it is neat to have a slightly older cast and also seems more diverse, not just hot young people (haha). HATE HATE HATE Julie's red dress though, she is too good to wear something that ugly.
ReplyDeleteI hate when they cast all young hot people! I love "old" people. And for BB, "old" is 30+! I hope this celeb season shows them that they can go back to casting older people. I mean, season 10 was one of the best and that had older people. Hell, Jerry was in his 70s!
DeleteI saw Omarosa said that if we had a Pence presidency we would be longing for Trump again. That feels like a sound bite to me, but I could also see it being true for women and LGBTQ+.
ReplyDeleteYup, those comments will be mentioned on my next recap! While I hate to admit it, I would rather have Pence than Trump. I trust Pence to not go to nuclear war. So less people will die under a Pence admin. But women and LGBTQ+ will die under his admin. :(
DeleteI don't watch Big Brother, but the last picture I saw of Brandi Glanville, she did not look normal anymore. I used to not like how loud and obnoxious she was, especially when the whole divorce from her Husband was happening, but after I saw an interview of her, I am on her side and now I strongly dislike LeAnn Rimes and Cibrian... anytime she post anything about the kids!!
ReplyDeleteShe looks like she had A LOT of work done.
DeleteI always feel compassion for someone who has had their husband cheat on them.
I am only watching the Broadcast episodes and she is coming across well on there. I mean yeah she drinks and is a little crazy, but they haven't shown anything too negative. Again, this is only broadcast so on the feeds it may be different. But I read the updates and it seems like people like her.
I have never seen the show - BB, but I watched Brandi on Real Housewives, and by the end she was nauseating!!!! All the housewives seem to take the injections to a gross limit, I would rather be wrinkled. Yes, her hubby cheated - saw your above comment, but she stabbed good friends in the back on the other show too...she and the hubs were alike. I am interested to see what you say about Brandi now lol ending in an I LOL that could be true.
ReplyDeleteOmarosa is all about Omarosa, self centered to an extreme.
She has way too many injections. I wonder what she would look like without them? Right now, Brandi is playing a good game and is in a good spot. I only watch the show and read about what happens on the live feeds, but so far, she is getting a really good edit and is presenting herself well in the half. I mean she is a little silly and ditzy, but that's it. She said something mean to James the first night which I didn't like but ever since then it's been okay.
DeleteBut I am sure she is a TRAIN WRECK on RHW.
I am starting to freaking like Omarosa too!!!!
I didn't get to post yesterday, but I agree with all of this! I've enjoyed watching the show so far. Ross is my favorite!! That red dress was the worst. What was she thinking? And how about her see through shoulder shirt. Doesn't anyone check these fashion items before the show airs? hmmmm
ReplyDeleteYou know what I didn't mind the see through blue top because I figured it wasn't actually see through, I thought it was like a nude colored undershirt. But Paul didn't like it either.
