Big Brother Recap: Nicole Is So Over The Newbies!

You’d be forgiven for thinking that we were way further in the game if you tuned into Big Brother tonight, but we’re actually right at the beginning. 


It felt like one of those episodes in the middle of the season in which alliances are being shook right up. It all resulted in a thrilling hour of television and I can’t wait to see how the rest of the season plays out.




Big Brother Twist



I was skeptical about the multitude of twists that were introduced in the premiere, but the pay-off has been fantastic. 


Nicole started the hour stressed as she knew that she was the target to be evicted first. This is essentially her third chance at the money, so it wasn’t that much of a shock that she would be targeted.  


The SOS Competition was really tense. Nicole done her thing and managed to secure a first place finish, which put her straight into the safe zone for the week. 


Tiffany wasn’t far behind and I’m now wondering why more of the houseguests haven’t guessed that she’s Vanessa’s sister yet.


It’s so freaking obvious. Haven’t they watched the show before?!


Corey and Glenn fought it out to save their game life, but Glenn lost out. 



Glenn was evicted instantly.


The dude was obviously a bit miffed at being the first to go, but he noted in his exit speech that the amount of love he received from the other houseguests made it much easier for him to go. 


One thing that really bugged me about the competition was that the newbies were all chanting for their side of the house to win.


They made it crystal clear that they did not want Nicole to eke out a victory for the veterans.


It’s like they think because they have the numbers now, they’re going to get all the veterans out, but they couldn’t be more wrong.


After debating who should be the first HOH, Nicole made an alliance with Corey and Tiffany the three of them agreed not to put one another up.


Nicole is the first HOH of the summer!


Victor, Jozea and the rest of the new houseguests looked miserable at the thought of one of them going home. 


Da’vonne went to see where Jozea’s head was at after managing to get Tiffany on board earlier. Jozea was very abrupt with her and claimed that the game is his to win. He’s so damn full of himself that he’s unbearable to watch.


He also revealed to her that the newbies are going to get the veterans out. 


Okay then, Jozea. It’s not like you haven’t already blown your game up.


Da’vonne cut the conversation short and reported back to the group. Nicole told them about Victor telling her that she’s the biggest target in the house and they all agreed that they need to take Jozea out. 


YES!


Da’vonne is playing a much smarter game than she did last year. She’s really going out her way to interact with both sides of the house and I’m certain she’ll get much further this time. 


That’s if she manages to keep her rants for the DR. If she blows up like she did last year, she’ll be out like that a shot.


Nicole then went for a shower and James played the first prank of the season. He pretended to be Victor and it was hilarious. Nicole was none the wiser and just continued her shower.


She then pulled Paulie into the room to have a chat and let him know about the plan to go after Jozea. Paulie was disappointed at the thought of going on the block as a pawn and I can’t blame him.


It didn’t actually make sense to put him up, but Nicole went full steam ahead and put him up next to Jozea!


There we have it. We’re two episodes in and the drama is already making everyone go crazy!


Another twist will shake up the game this coming Sunday. 


Who will win the POV?
