Nicole & Cody are my early faves. Shocked most by Donny isn't as bad as I was expecting!

Frankie and Amber though, erghh.. I don't like that Frankie is gonna win America's Favourite every single time

I'm not sure he's his family's favourite, let alone America's. Famous half sibling aside, the views on his solo YouTube videos are quite low.

On paper/at a brief glance it's not a terrible cast but I'm curiously bored.
No amount of game-changing twists is helping.

I hope so, but I don't have much faith... MVP twist last year and Elissa every week? Hehe.

So basically, instead of an America's player, there will be 3 of them that are aware of each other. Hmmmm

So Team America is basically America's Player but instead America's Alliance.

This is going to be the most rigged season since BB8.

He's already getting a following on Twitter, so I think we need to be prepared just in case he is in there for the long haul

Someone on Joker's is telling a fib.

Edit - I see the comment. Technically Showtime is running, it just doesn't air Big Brother After Dark any longer.

He has a following because of his sister.

Ariana has 16million followers on Twitter & he's regularly tweeting with her, taking pics & doing videos, and also doing follow sprees, plus Ariana is running his twitter while he's away & people have been tweeting it to speak to her.

I know all this because my daughter is 15 and nuts about Ariana lol

Joey: Should be making alliances based on good strategy rather than gender. Not impressed at how quickly she showed her alliance colours during the competition. It won't take long for other HGs to see her plans.
Nicole: Seems like voting her out would ruffle the least feathers. Donny likes her though.
Paopao: She showed a few good instincts in noticing the # of HGs present and missing, and knows that showmances are dangerous, but will she be able to control her large personality? Same bad idea as Joey regarding making an all-girls alliance with girls you don't know yet.
Amber: Sensible decision to throw the first HOH considering it doesn't necessarily keep you safe.
Donny: He seems smart but I hope he doesn't make desperate choices for short-term security over long-term.
Frankie: Not sure I agree with the logic of winning the first HOH, but it might be the security he needs. Who am I kidding? He's already a shoe-in for the Team America alliance, whatever that is.
Cody: He seems smarter than last year's David, so that's good. Paopao might try to keep him safe.
Devin: Smart move to come out and say he played pro baseball before someone recognizes him. He's charming but if he makes himself too likeable no one will want to go to the end with him.

Wasn't convinced about these HGs from all of the pre-show media, but.... whoa! Enjoyed that a lot more than i expected. I think the HGs translated way better on the actual show than the media and was pleasantly surprised with the group.

I like so many of them already hehe.

Yes! I'm pretty excited now.

Having high definition is such a long time coming, so glad it's finally arrived on BB.

I'm not sure who my early favorite is, i'm really liking Nicole... but don't dislike anyone yet. I know it's early but i usually find a few that i'm NOT connecting with straightaway

I still keep an open mind though even if i don't like them on first impressions, like i didn't connect or care for Kyle (initially) in the last Canada season but he came to be one of my favs later. Just a bit strange not to dislike any of them, maybe that means i'll end up hating them all. Hah.

regaurding the twist this season,

so im thinking the the 2 HOH's will make noms of ppl on the other "teams" then do a comp in the battle for the block thing and whoever wins their noms will stick & taking their teammates off the block and leaving the loosers on. then the loosing HOH may end up as a replacement nom after the veto comp.

just a thought

The token gay bloke.

Who has has a sister I have not heard of.
He's overplaying her as "the most famous person in the world" (he probably said that because he's a slimy little famewhore clinging to her celebrity, so he pumps it up). That said, in the past year and a half in the US at least she's moved from moderate fame as a Disney TV actress to actual A-List status as a recording artist, with an album that went to #1 on the Billboard music charts, appearances on all of the award shows and at the White House singing, and at this very moment in fact, has the #2 single on the current music charts.

Oh... and yes. That 16 million Twitter followers (ALL of who will know Frankie, because she retweets and mentions him constantly on hers). Just for a sense of scale, while that's not Miley Cyrus/Bieber level of Followers, compare it to lets say... Mariah Carey (who Ariana's voice is often compared to, and who Ariana apparently worshiped until recently when Mariah got insecure about someone younger being compared to her and dissed her). Ariana has a million more Twitter followers than her hero now.

Plus everyone's going to have a TON of fun fist pumping and yelling "F@ck Yeah!" everytime Chenbot says the phrase "Team America".
