Rachel and Hayden are two first HoH's who ended winning it all. Well... in a regular season I’ve always considered first HoH to be the safest of the season, specifically because you have a built-in excuse to deflect a great deal of nom blowback: “Hey, none of us really knew anything about each other yet - and i had to nominate SOMEONE. If I’d known you then like I do now, I’d have NEVER nominated you, swear to god....” Kinda hard to pull off that same schtick in an All-Star season, though. 😉 Link to comment

But I don't want to see Derrick again, and I'm also looking forward to seeing Memphis play without Dan, so in that regard, I'm not upset about it. 8 Link to comment

Supposedly one of the reason to do an AS season this year was because everyone would be familiar with the mechanics of the show and help things run smoother with all the extra Covid protocols. Yet these yahoos can't take a seat, can't take an envelope, can't find their way around a wall and completely ignore Juile. At one point I seriously wondered if she was broadcasting into the house. My favorite was "I know everyone wants to hug, but can you help me get the next group seated?" After which all 3 remaining groups proceed to hug and chit chat. Really Julie? You're relying on the HGs to help you corral the other HGs? Good luck with that....or not. 3 3 Link to comment

He should have been an early jury boot in BB14 but once you're locked in the house with him his ability to manipulate people is unreal. It's sort of pathological -- when people aren't looking you can see this glee in his eyes. I have no idea what he's like in real life but if anyone was born to play BB it's him. 5 Link to comment

That said, I was really looking forward to a mostly TV-less summer and fall, but here we go with the mother of all broadcast time-sucks. Do I have the stamina? Do I have the attention span? Do I like enough of these people to see them burn that goodwill to the ground on their second/third time around? Probably. Fuck. 6 8 Link to comment
Growsonwalls August 6, 2020 Share August 6, 2020 I'm going to be really torn. I am loving watching the NBA bubble from the vlogs by players to the games. I kind of hope feeds are a bust tbh so I can watch Lebron, Giannis, Anthony Davis, Russell Westbook, James Harden, etc. without constantly having to switch between games and feeds. Help me out here.

CrazyDog August 6, 2020 Share August 6, 2020 I'm bummed I won't be able to catch up with the premiere until this weekend, but reading comments, it sounds like a great start to the season. I caught the Ian, Kevin and Enzo intro clips...Enzo was meh, but I really liked Kevin. Still dislike Ian, and I'd be happy for his smug butt to be an early boot. With all the big egos and personalities, I can see him being underestimated a little and squeaking (ha) by for awhile. I'm behind as usual, but can't wait to get into the season. 2 Link to comment

Nashville August 6, 2020 Share August 6, 2020 TPTB are really serious about the HNs this season, aren’t they? The HNs don’t even get to have their HN Room. 😄 9 Link to comment
Katesus7 August 6, 2020 Share August 6, 2020 I totally caught the shade about how someone said it was so surprising Derrick and Dan didn’t make it in the end “live” credits. Nicole F is probably an easy early boot. Except for the fact that these people don’t really give a fuck about two people who beat them and who are considered to be awesome players not being on the show. Damn it, I wish I could stay up long enough to see who the true (pre show) organically made alliances are, but I am fading fast. 5 Link to comment

Maverick August 6, 2020 Share August 6, 2020 Pre-show alliances aside, the logical choice for the first nominations are Nicole and Ian as the two winners. It BB SOP to have "reasons" for the first nominations that don''t make waves. Returning players alter that but I don't think Ian and Nicole have many pre-show allies (and it sounds like Nicole may have some pre-show enemies). 3 Link to comment

Callaphera August 6, 2020 Share August 6, 2020 20 minute countdown has begun which means I have enough time to tap a new cardboardeau and then sit here with the feeds music looping in my headphones just in case they switch the feeds on a few minutes early. 1 1 Link to comment
Nashville August 6, 2020 Share August 6, 2020 Personally, I am bereft; looks like BBAD won’t be coming back this season. It’s not showing up on the PopTV schedule lineup. 😢 Link to comment
HighQueenEB August 6, 2020 Share August 6, 2020 I usually live in the Live Feeds thread and skip the episodes or begin FFWing through them about 3-4 weeks in after the hamsters become hateful, loathsome beasts. This season, I actually have CBS All Access (wanted to watch Picard and didn't cancel the subscription) and I'm working from home through at least Oct 1st, so I'm looking forward to actually watching some of the feeds when I'm not focused on work! So happy to have our summer crack reality show back! 3 Link to comment
Callaphera August 6, 2020 Share August 6, 2020 I haven't heard or seen a single thing about BBAD in any of the press releases. That's odd. Also they changed the feeds music. I'm torn between bobbing my head and complaining because it's different and we don't like change. It's not bad but it's not FISH music. Come to think of it, I don't know if we got to see a fish tank in the house yet. Link to comment
