-:35 We’re almost there, ya’ll! I’m just setting up the post, getting ready to cover the East Coast viewing of Big Brother 10. I’m hanging over with Bobby’s crew at JustTVNuts, and am hoping I’m not too much out of practice doing the recap thing. Heh. I’ll update this post right here every commercial after the show starts, so refresh every few minutes or so to find the newest content. Here we go guys – WHOO! Don’t forget the BBGame Live, too! SO MANY THINGS to do!

-:05 Alrighty, here we go! I’ve got the Live TV Challenge on the laptop (but no promise to keep up with it. *L*), BB East Coast here on the desktop, and I’ve done my finger limbering exercises – let’s get this party started!

:00 Tonight, for the first time, the men and women are all strangers! Get ready to meet them, welcome to Big Brother 10! Julie is looking lovely in red, and This is the big brother house – Tonight, 13 will enter the house (shot of memory wall has 14 frames, the center frame is the BBLogo)

This summer, they’re all complete strangers, for the first time since big brother 3 – they haven’t met prior to tonight. They all have one thing in common – the desire to win. The competition will begin before they enter the house, before they speak, she’ll tell us more later.

BUT FIRST! They were each surprised with their key to the BB House. Jerry, this big brother fan is not the typical houseguest! He’s gonna kick some butt.

April “Knows how to handle men”
Dan “The other houseguests are going to get schooled.”
Libra “A mother, like no other. My family is most important and what they think.”
Renny “Ready and you can’t start the party without me.”
Ollie “This preacher’s son is ready to let lose!”
Steven “I’m gonna hang on till the end. No fear of competition.”
Brian “I don’t like to lose.”
Memphis “Street smarts and charm, potent cocktail”
Angie “ready for a fresh start!”
Keesha “I know how to work it”
Jessie “Going to crush the competition”
Michelle “Don’t mess with this east coast girl – if I can handle my family, I can handle anything!”

They all get their hour to pack, as Libra gives last minute instructions, Keesha plans on flirting, Mephis admits to being a hustler, Steven feels women love gays and will win their hearts because of that. April is perfect and concered with a messy house. Ollie promises not to embarass his family. There’s tears as Jerry says goodbye, and Libra kisses her kids one more time before heading off.

Now that we’ve met them, let’s bring them out. They’re all in front of the house for the traditional greeting. Look around you, you could find your best friend, or worst enemy. Ultimately each of you is on your own. Hope your ready, because the game begins right now. You will choose the head of household before anyone moves into the house. Laughter all around – they will all vote for the first HOH right now. All you have to go on is their appearance and their gut instinct. Without talking, go to a numbered voting station.

One is about to become HOH,the most powerful position in the house. They open the folder, and vote for the houseguest they want as HOH, and they can’t vote for themselves. The vote is cast, but will remain a mystery for now. It’s time to move in! First five are REnny, Dan, Angie, Jessie and April.

Time for the squeals and rush to the bedrooms! They’re quieter then most, and Dan is not a pink guy, or a peace and love guy, so he was ll for the black and red room, he’s a little sinister. REnny is in the 70s room, and says that it reminds her of her old car.

Libra, Brian, Keesha and Memphis are next. Folks are introducing themselves, and Renny is loud and proud. Brian says everyone was nice when they first came in, but that’s because no one knew who the HOH was.

Steven, Jerry, Michelle and Ollie enter next, and Jerry is laughing at them putting “This old man in there with all the young kids.” April voted for Renny and is already having second thoughts. Angie says she’s made rude comments and doesn’t even know she’s being rude. Ollie says he doesn’t drink because he grew up in a conservative family.

Time for the introduce yourself section, and Jerry is first. Keesha says she voted for him because he looked nice and sweet. Keesha is the hooters girl, Libra talks about her kids, and tells us her one twin is black, one is white, and Ollie and April mimic what they must look like. Steven doesn’t reveal he’s a bull rider, or gay, he wants them to know him as Steve. Renny’s draw may want me to stab myself soon. Jessie says she’s annoying. Dan says that some things might go down that contradict his faith, but he’ll just go to confession afterwards and take care of it. Dan says he sees a lot of himself in Brian, and wants to allign and do damage. Memphis is not a bartender, but a chef for alcoholics.

Ollie says April has pretty blue eyes, and the Lord has blessed her and “he ain’t talking about her sneezing, either!” And now it’s the “boobs are real” section that we’ve already seen, and Gerry cops himself a feel and gets high fives all the way around. He tells us they’re very real “Very very real!” Renny was shocked that he did it, he’s a father and she thought it was inappropriate.(!) Jerry gives the toast and calls them a great great bunch of kids and says he loves them all ready.

:18 Commercial. WHEW! I’m out of practice! *L* (So far, I’ve missed a couple questions on LIve Play – I’m 4/10 and 92/225)

The Real Deal, who’s joined the girls over at BBDish this season, just posted the new promo for Big Brother After Dark, which starts on Sho2 tonight from midnight-3:30am. BBAD will play daily in that timeslot for the duration of the season – if you’re not sure you want to get the feeds and you currently have Showtime, give BBAD a test run so that you can get a glimpse of what we get all day every day.

Here’s the promo:

And we’re in the homestretch before the premiere! If you’re like me and are stuck on the west coast (Alaska for me) and just can’t wait the additional four hours (also like me!) – head over to JustTVNuts, where Bobby is my hero all through the season, playing BB for us on East Coast Time!

As for me, I’m off to shower and make arrangements for the kids for dinner, and generally get all gussied up and prettified to sit here in front of my screen and type my lil fingers to the bone. The things I do for ya’ll… *grins* 2 hours and 15 minutes left! WHOOOO!

Happy Big Brother Day, ya’ll! I’m so EXCITED I can hardly stand it! All the spoilers and leaks and that video only whet my appetite for more. in just a few hours we’ll have our official introduction to the houseguests, we’ll be able to count how many times our beloved Chenbot will say “But first…”, and best of all, the feeds will turn on directly after the west coast showing of the premiere, and we’ll have a whole new bunch of houseguests to stare at all day!

You DO have the feeds, right? No?

Trust me on this one – if you don’t have them, get them! It only enhances the Big Brother experience, as I found out last summer when I took over Big Brother Craze (before moving here, of course) and jumped right into the deep end of Big Brother Fandom. Oh the things that happen that most watchers never see! And now, now I feel like an OFFICIAL recapper/Big Brother Blogger, because I have these fancy little BB10 Live Feed banners. If you like what I do, if you decide you want the feeds, help a sister out and click one of my Real banners, would ya? Hey look – here’s another one!


Watch Big Brother 24/7

This is the first year that I’m handling all the behind the scenes stuff on my own, so any support, helpful hints, suggestions, sympathies – and of course, clicks on anything that strikes your fancy – are appreciated!

Alrighty then. Now that my plea has been officially made, let’s get this party STARTED! See you right here for the premiere episode!

PS – Thanks Carolyn, my BBbloggin’sistah! Your suggestion on what to do did the trick, as you can see!

  • Hey! You!

    Yeah you! All this bullshit I write? Is mine. So keep your hands off, will ya? I'm sure you could totally come up with better shit on your own.

    Also - dude. All opinions stated herein these pages are my own, and not those of anyone I might work for. Just in case you think I'm slamming something important, like, oh, say, my work place. I love my job, my co-workers, and anything that you might think is about you? Well, you might be right. Just remember I show my affection by endless nagging, picking on, laughing, etc. :) We're adults. Well. I am. On the outside.
