Hello everyone, we're finally back for another Summer!

To be honest, I know this thread is a good few hours premature, but I wanted to post it in tribute to the usual thread starter (and BBUS megafan), Sad_BB_Addict, who sadly is no longer among us. I know many of us already have posted messages of condolence, but I'd like it if this season opening thread could be dedicated to him and his memory.

Here are some possible links for the Premiere. I'm not sure if they will work - I admit to stealing them from the BB15 finale thread!

Anyway, here's some things that might help pass the time!

Happy Summer!

Thanks for the thread. I'll have a drink in SBBA's memory as I watch the episode later tonight.

Thanks for the thread and links, couldn't have said all that any better

Will feel weird without SBBA as this show was his forte every year

Will be nice to have a little while away from our show which seems to be disappearing down the plughole at a rate of knots already

And we still have the ever so cheerful BB Australia to come near the end of August

I miss seeing SBBA's updates and posts

I'm so excited for this season though! Not sure if I should watch it tonight live or wait till tomorrow morning though.

Woop Woop! Excited for another season of BBUSA, lets try and wash the bad taste of BB15 out of our mouths.

Will be thinking of SBBA tonight.

Can I just say very impressive preview of the houseguests

Some good ones there, and I can see who I am instantly going to dislike straight away

so 8 Tonight & 8 Tommorrow wonder if whoever the 2 HoH's are will get to pick there teams as everything points towards they will be split up

This kickoff show is proving deadly dull and a monumental waste of time. It can only get better.

Thanks for the kind words.

Right time to see what our American counterparts will bring to the table

Are you from the future?

Although I'm guessing you're correct. I brought a pillow.

HD does this decor no favours.

Chenbot looking absolutely lovely

"Completely cut off from the outside world" You hear that UK producers?

There was a groundskeeper for a school system on True Detective and we know how that turned out.

Dennis v2 going in tonight

The token gay bloke.

Who has has a sister I have not heard of.

Frankie's famous half sister looks like a hostage in every single photo he takes with her.

Amber, my favourite traffic light.

Ubly Jubbly.

Candidate for first out, Nicole

What does she shoot with those guns? What needs a sniper scope? Hmmm

Tan, you would look amazing with blue hair.
Trust me. I'm a VIP cocktail waitress/former professional somethingball player.

Good god, what has Joey done to her hair

I like a girl with blue hair but most of them are over 80.

Joey could be a reincarnation of Lydia from BB11.
