S22.E01: Season Premiere LIVE CHAT THREAD

[Michichick]

For a brief second I thought Cody was his dickhead brother.

I love you, Kaysar, but you appear insufferable. 

He's so pretty, though.

[Brian Cronin]

Oh man, Cody, shut the fuck up, you moron. 

[zorak]

I spoke too soon!  Cody blocked the kiss.

Kiss not kids

[choclatechip45]

Wasn't expecting Memphis.

[Lamb18]

I'd rather see Paulie crying over butterflies than Cody.

[Growsonwalls]

Memphis got a real dad bod.

[Brian Cronin]

Memphis is such a DAD! I love it. He's adorable. 

[Callaphera]

How to tell I've gotten older: Hot Dad Memphis is doing it for me. 

[Brian Cronin]

David. I like you. But you lost right away last year, so for now, you should see the advice for Cody. 

Edited August 6, 2020 by Brian Cronin

[Michichick]

Memphis clearly knows Cody is on this season. Otherwise Cody is NOT the name you’d mention when talking about the Hitmen alliance.

[Callaphera]

The eye candy in this last group of guys. I ain't complainin'. 

[Machiabelly]

The winner of the "sorry we put you with racist assholes" award

[keke23]

What were the qualifications to make one an all star again?

[choclatechip45]

Not a bad cast. Glad to see some representation from 6-11

[Lonesome Rhodes]

Awesome to have final confirmation of no Paul or Derrick.

[Brian Cronin]

Living in L.A. and not having COVID. 

[Katesus7]

And...there’s David. Which I’m fine with, he got a bullshit deal his season, but....David.

[vb68]

Memphis, please set up a secret Renegades sequel with Keesha!

So, the hamsters who have been quarantined have to wear masks in front of Julie, who has been outside the entire time, does not.  Go figure.

I can't speak for the US but Australia (which has mandatory masks at the moment) is giving television hosts an exemption to allow for deaf viewers to lip-read, and the same kind of logic may be in play here.

I suspect the players are shouty enough that it doesn't matter if they have masks or not.

[Callaphera]

According to a social media post from Paulie Calafiore (or the lesser, more annoying Cauliflower brother), he's rooting for Cody, Bayleigh, and Da'Vonne. So that might be a pre-season alliance.

Interesting he is not in an alliance with Nicole. I guess some pre game drama is true.

[leocadia]

Is Cody wearing jeggings?

Side note:  after months of streaming due to no new tv, these commercials are KILLING me

Nicole's in an alliance with Production. 

[Katesus7]

So...Cody, Memphis, Ian, Kevin, Nicole or Christmas. I’m rooting for......no clue. 

[Thalia]

For some reason I am missing the Hamsters throwing their bags on the beds.  The lack of luggage in the intro must be a Covid related precaution.  But I do want a robot sculpture.

Most (I think) either placed in the top 3 or won. The others were probably “oh well I guess they’ll do”

That gave me a good laugh!

[Callaphera]

The poor husband keeps saying that most of these HGs are before his time and the few that he knows are mainly "I didn't like that one" or "Well, I guess that one was all right."

[choclatechip45]

Does anyone know if Kaysar and Janelle kept in touch? That is the interaction I am most interested in.

[Dmarie019]

So we’ve got two Nicole’s right? Wonder if one will go by a nickname. 

[Thalia]

With the exception of Bayleigh they seem to be a pretty normal group this year.  I honestly can't remember Enzo, but I have a feeling that I didn't like his Bro Machoness.    Maybe either TPTB or the covid tests screened out the Hot Messes.

I feel like Paulie being the "lesser more annoying Caluiflower brother" is a MASSIVE insult to Cody. I don't remember him being even a little bit of a misogynistic, gaslighting fuckwit like his brother. Just me?

The others being Davonne, Bayleigh and David. Not that this show has ever been racist as shit.
 

And Kaysar.

One of them is going by "Michie. "

Yes they still keep in touch.

[vb68]

No Hardy.....wonder where that started (Evel Dick).

True. I was going on who whined more and who placed higher. 

[Growsonwalls]

Golf claps for the Enzo Ian Tyler Kevin group.

[mtlchick]

Julie is yelling at them to sit otherwise the last one sitting getting evicted made me laugh. 

[zorak]

“Bueller?”  Lol

[Lonesome Rhodes]

Several of them, upon realizing Nicole F. was there, were less than thrilled.

[zorak]

“If I can deal with Swaggy, then I can deal with these people.”  She may have a point there.

Groundhog Day is looking around like, "Am I supposed to know these people?"

Easy first week nomination?

[Callaphera]

I forgot how much I missed Chenbot's programming getting stuck in a loop so she repeats the same unfunny joke three times. It's not Big Brother until she throws an error or two.

I hope so.

I mean, I don't disagree, but she's easily the more annoying of the two. That also feel super fake, based on the way they both acted during the Challenge reunion Zooms. (#2020) She was constantly looking at him for reassurance / confirmation. 

[Lamb18]

I like Christmas' glasses.

[Katesus7]

I’m absolutely certain there will be an easy first week boot. It just depends on the HOH and who did the best pre-gaming. At least this time around there’s no fucking Boogie with his restaurants and celebrity connections.
