3:39pm BBT Hey everybody, time for the nom ceremony. Feeds are still FotH but we have an audio leak of Felcia calling the HG in for the nomination ceremony. She says it 3 times and you can hear other HG mumbling but still see rescue bunnies on the feeds. 3:43pm BBT. The FotH music is off but the animals are still on. You can hear them eating/moving around. You can also faintly hear BB talking to the HG. Matt is told to check his mic. BB figures out the problem and the music returns.

10:06pm BBT Feeds return. Hisam is dressed in a dress shirt, tie and wig. The comp apparently also assigned Have Nots for the week. Matt says he lost a girl and became a HN in one night. 10:11pm BBT In the SR, Mecole is tossing expired fruit, talking the comp with Matt and Jag. Cameron celebrates staying with Hisam, Cirie and Izzy in the ComicverseBR. Bowie mentions having slime in his butt. Red comes in talking about the Humiliverse HNBR. Maybe they can fill in the holes of the Cheese Bed to make it more comfortable. 10:14pm BBT Blue and Jared are cleaning up in the KT. They are planning burgers for dinner. Jag is moving into the ComicverseBR until Red comes back. Cory wanders into the KT. In the WA, Felicia cackles, can you see me now? Izzy says she's so proud she's sleeping upstairs. Felicia has won HoH. 10:17pm BBT Felicia is out of the shower and energized. In the SR, America tells Jag they should wait to talk game until tomorrow. They need time to rest. Hisam is subdued in the ComicverseBR. In the WA, they are talking about the comp. The HG were doing something to score numbers. Felicia is talking about what she wants in her HoH basket. 10:19pm BBT Bowie is in the shoer. Cory and Jared are talking in the Game Lounge about Felicia's duel pawn picks. Red is a no brainer nom, says Jared. Mecole is safe, they agree. Maybe Red and Cameron. Jared thinks Jag could be nom. It depends on Bowie, Jared says. The Felicia train rolls into the ComicverseBR. 10:25pm BBT Matt joins Cory and Jared in the Game Lounge. He's sad over Reilly leaving. Don't bring her up to Felicia, Jared warns him. Cory predicts Matt and Reilly will do The Challenge next year. Hisam joins them upstairs. They turn to discussing the comp. Jared did better during his practice shot then dropped from 2nd to 3rd in the comp. 10:27pm BBT Alone in the ComicverseBR, Izzy and Cirie celebrate Felicia's win. In the Game Lounge, Cory says Felicia's son must be so proud of her. Her son looks like Jared. Matt says he's giving Red the swinging bed in the Humiliverse HNBR (Matt slept there last week) because of his back. Cory says the Hot Dog bed isn't bad if you don't move around alot. 10:34pm BBT Matt says he's never seen Felicia so happy. Hisam says older people are always being underestimated. Matt wants to get the BY back and lay in the hammock. Cameron says he's glad he's a HN - he needs to lose weight. He tells Hisam he has some slippes in the SR, and Hisam goes to get them. Jag and Cory are playing bumper pool. Cory says he's trying to play honest this time. This time, Jag asks playfully? 10:30pm BBT Izzy, Bowie and Jared are in the gym. Jared says Cameron was shocked Felicia won. Izzy says he was too cocky. In the KT, Mecole is balling up burger meat to bake hamburgers. Blue is helping her prepare toppings. 10:42pm BBT Jared comes up stairs, calling out to Cory, you going to let this happen? Cory looks up. She's carrying her own bags up the stairs, Jared says, pointing to America. She's a Have Not, Cory says matter-of-factly, I'm a Have. I'll see you next week, he says to a laughing America. 10:44pm BBT Is America still in there (the Humiliverse HNBR), I really should apologize. He goes into the HNBR and they start discussing who might be nom against Red. In the SR, Hisam has taken off his costume and is talking with Cirie and Izzy. No better outcome, says Cirie. I'm so happy, agrees Hisam. Hisam's left his mic somewhere and is told to go get it. 10:46pm BBT In the Humiliverse HNBR, America tells Cory that that Hisam was calling them The Leftovers. Cory thinks they are good with Felicia. They told her that Jag was flip flopping and she was glad to know. She doesn't like flip floppers. Maybe Jag will be nom against Red. Matt enters the HNBR. America is taking the dog bed. She says Cirie is going to help preparing slop. Matt has his protein shakes. She's going to wash her hair less in the cold shower. 10:50pm BBT In the Humiliverse HNBR, America tells Matt that Reill will be watching him. She's going to give him time alone. She spun a 1 kick and quickly leaves. Matt sits on the Hot Dog bed letting the torrent of tears come. He wipes his nose on his sleeve. Meanwhile, in the SR, Cirie, Jared and Izzy are celebrating Felicia's win.

10:20pm BBT Izzy and Hisam are in the BY hammock. Hisam thinks they should go after Cory next because Cory could come after them. Izzy thinks Cory is going to go after Red and Bowie. She trusts Cory to vote out Reilly but doesn't trust him as HoH. Hisam says they need to convince Cory that Bowie is a threat to get him to nominate Bowie and Red, or Jag and Blue. They'll tell him that Blue and Jag are going after him. Izzy thinks that's a good plan. 10:27pm BBT Hisam is worried he and Izzy will be nom together. Izzy thinks they need to get Cameron next but Hisam is sure Jag and Blue are going after The Professors, so they need to be the next targets. He wants Reilly, Cameron, Jag and Blue out before Jury. Izzy says Cory also needs to be out before Jury. The order doesn't matter. Then they would control the jury just like the Cookout did, Hisam says. In the Comicverse BR, Cirie and Felici are laughing. They went from The Professors to Bye Bye Bitches to Brown Sugars. Cirie says it can't always be Hisam's way.

9:45pm BBT in the Scaryverse BR, the girls are dressing Cory up as Blue. Blue says she needs to dress as Cory now. Mecole says they need tighty whities and a backwards t-shirt. The girls are laughing it up. Cory is in a pink top and bell bottoms with a sparkly baseball cap. I haven't even worn that yet, Blue laughs. It's the hat that's funny, he asks, not the exposed gut? They orchestrate his opening up the door and talking to the video camera. My parents will think this is a punishment, he moans. Blue is dressed as Cory. they take the act to the BY for the other HG to see. They rush over to check him out. OMG and clapping and laughter. Cirie & Jared exchange a glance - these people are crazy! 10:00pm BBT Cameron is helping Red prepare some food in the KT. Cory and Blue head to the DR - in Blue's pink outfit. In the WA, Izzy is upset with something Felicia said and she sincerely apologizes. They hug it out. Cory and Mecole walk through the KT. Felicia asks what Red is making. Cheesecake Light, he says. He runs through the ingredients and preparation for her. OK, she says, it actually looks good. Cameron calls out to Cory, you gonna do a skirt next?

8:05pm BBT In the SR, Reilly and Jag consider a blindside of Cirie. Jag says Reilly should stay away from Cirie to keep her off the plan. In HoH, Hisam tells Cirie, Red, Mecole, Bowie, Felicia and Izzy that Jag and Blue want to work with him but he put them off until they can offer him something. It's OK to have side alliances, he says, as long as it's a two-way street and benefits The Professors. After Reilly is gone, he says, he can scoop up Matt, and the others can scoop up others. But don't promise votes you'll have to go back on. 8:20pm BBT Hisam tells his fellow Professors that the target next week is clear. Bowie asks Blue and Jag? Izzy offers a pep talk. If they believe in each other the they they believe in themselves, they will be triumphant. Just be mindful, Hisam warns, both Vetos have been puzzles. We need to put our best puzzlers in those comps. He needs to take a step back from winning so as to not become too big a target. He says the other side is imploding. He wonders if America would be good in an endurance comp. He thinks Cory is good in puzzles. 8:30pm BBT Hasim thinks they should play mind games with the other side and convince them to put up one of their own as a pawn. Then The Professors could vote them out. Hisam says that people who haven't talked game with you will start offering to work together. He says America, Cory, Matt are now desperate. He can keep Blue focused on the other side since she wants to make big moves. He says she promised to slice Reilly's throat (in the Veto comp) for him. Meanwhile, by the hammock, America, Matt and Blue are talking about Eat Pray Love. 8:40pm BBT Hisam ha slocked himself out of HoH. In the BY, Matt & America talk about Instagram & TikTok. They hear cheering from inside the house. Matt looks around but doesn't see anything so they resume talking about Twitter (X). In the Comicverse BR, Izzy tells Cirie that Bowie makes her nervous and Hisam is downright scary. He doesn't let Mecole or Bowie finish talking and is driving them away. Izzy can't believe Hisam thinks they are sitting pretty and wants to talk with Bowie and Mecole about a plan for The Professors to expel him. They reconfirm their F2 deal. 9:00pm BBT Izzy is still going off on Hisam acting like he's in charge. He needs to go before Jury. He needs to go next week, Cirie says. Izzy thinks he'd be evicted unanimously if on the block, he's on a power trip. Cirie says it will happen to Izzy too when she's HoH. It comes with the power. Felicia comes into the Comicverse BR and is upset that Hisam wants to throw the Veto comp because he's so comfortable. Izzy says they should backdoor him next week. She thinks they would have Jared and Cory's vote too. 9:10pm BBT Outside, Mecole has the digital camera and is recording the weekly house video. She asks Matt what is his favorite food in the BB House. Peanut Butter and Roast Beef sandwiches (it's not clear if he means two separate sandwiches or both on the same sandwiche). In the Comicverse BR, Felicia, Cirie and Izzy continue bonding with lots of laughter. 9:18pm BBT Mecole finds Izzy in the SR and they stage more video recording of Izzy's favorite house snack, avocados. They move into the KT as Micole directs Red next. Red delivers a mountain man performance and Mecole is so excited she rewinds and they watch the segment on the screen. Cameron is the next subject to walk into the KT and Mecole puts him to work as well. She brings Cory inside for his bit on Macaroni & Cheese. Cirie is still waiting for her favorite snack to show up in the BB House and asks Mr. Big for Kettle Chips or Jelly Bellies. 9:30pm BBT Mecole tells Hisam exactly what he's going to do. She'll ring the doorbell and he'll say let me show you in his HoH basket - Peanut Butter M&Ms. She shows him the videos she's made so far. This is madness, she giggles. Out in the BY lounge, Cory and America are talking academics.

2:15pm BBT Izzy tells Felicia she wants to teach flute in college. She's done residencies in college but doesn't have a doctorate. Felicia says as long as Izzy has her flute, she has a hustle. Red & Cameron are in the Game Lounge> Red says it's a calm day. All he's heard is that nobody wants to say anything bad about Cameron because they know Red likes him. Izzy and Mecole think Cameron is a more dangerous player than Reilly. Blue is giving Reilly a massage. She wishes she could redo week one. 2:40pm BBT Blue and Jag want to swing Hisam to their side. Jag wants to do it now while he's calm and the house is quiet. Hisam turns the table and asks what their plans are after Reilly is evicted. Blue didn't expect the game to move so fast. Jag says they have a better idea week 2. Hisam says after Reilly is gone, the game is basically reset. Blue says she is playing her way, making her own decisions. Hisam asks her what her big move is but Blue doesn't say. Meanwhile, Red & Cory are playing bumper pool. 2:55pm BBT Cory asks Cirie what Matt plans to do. Cirie says Reilly has 3 votes. Cory plans to try to win HoH next week. His fingers are still numb from the Veto comp. In the KT, Felicia complains they have fake butter. Maybe the store was out of real butter. She needs real butter to cook. America asks Jared if he watches TV. He replies he watches podcasts (I think he means vidcasts, since podcasts are audio). Izzy says she has performed at Radio City Music Hall as part of a premier event. 3:05pm BBT Izzy is playing bummper pool alone. America comes in and says Cory is too good at comps. They talk votes and Izzy says Blue won't change her vote for Reilly. America thinks the vote can go either way. Izzy probes which way America is going but she replies she's still thinking. America says she thought "they" were friends, but "they" don't tell her anything. Jared comes in and game talk stops. In the BY, Cirie and Jag agree that HG are saying they would vote for Reilly only if they have the numbers but they don't. All the talk scares Cirie. Jag doesn't think there's really that much talk - the others are just trying to get in good with her. 3:18pm BBT Jag tells Cirie she's in a great position because she's working both sides. That's what Cameron did, Cirie replies, and it got him nominated. Jag says he wasn't as good at it as she is. Cirie worries she's getting tied to Reilly. Cirie really wants Reilly to stay but worries it will be horrible for her game. Jag encourages her to vote for Reilly. You want me to take this leap and hope nobody says anything, she complains. Jag swears he wants to work with her, he trusts her. He's still trying to figure out who he can work with. Cirie 3:24pm BBT Cirie tells Jag she trusts Izzy with her life and like's Jared. Jag likes Jared too, and Felicia. He wants to work with the three of them but doesn't know how Felicia feels about him. Cirie tells him to talk to her. She tells him to talk to Izzy and say she sent him. She thinks he, her, Jared and Felicia could be solid long term. Everyone's going to be going after Hisam next week. Cirie leaves and America joins Jag. He asks how her talk with Izzy went. It didn't, America says, she wouldn't say anything. America doesn't feel close to anyone.

9:25am BBT Feeds return after 19 hours. Hisam has won the Veto and Bowie has disappeared into the Nether Region. Hisam says when HG go to the Nether Region, they come back with safety. Felicia volunteered but Bowie was selected. In the Scaryverse BR, Reilly tells Jag & Matt about Cirie's pinky swear to keep her. She thinks she's gotten close enough to Red to get his vote too, but Red seems to keep away from everything. 9:30am BBT Hisam tells Izzy, Cirie and Felicia on the BY Couch that the vote Thursday will be unanimous - why would anyone vote for Reilly? The numbers aren't there. They talk about trying to get America's vote, but she won't give up anything. Hisam thinks Reilly is telling people what to do and he doesn't do that. He just says what he wants. It worked with Jared, he says. Red joins them. Hisam is glad the week will work out how he planned. In the Scaryverse BR, Reilly tells Blue she's got to campaign and remind people she saved them last week. In the SR, Reilly Jared tells Cirie that promised to talk to Felicia. 11:03am BBT Felicia is cooking bacon in the oven and making sandwhiches for lunch. By the BY Hammock, Cory tells Cameron he doesn't think Hisam will be blindsided and Reilly will go. Cameron says he won't do anything weired, just will be himself, but it's awkward around her. Felicia is in the KT cooking. Red says it's a lazy day. Felicia is glad. Red tells BB they need more bacon. Felicia is not a fan of turkey bacon. Red says there's all types of bacon. Red asks Matt if he's going to ride the bike. After he wakes up and gets a shower, he says. 11:30am BBT In the hammock, Cameron tells Jared and Cory that he wanted to be a HN but Luke beat him to it. If he had been in the Humiliverse HNBR instead, the game would have been different. Jared asks Cory what is gluten. He says Potassium. But he's not a science person. He got a C in his final semeseter of calculus. Jared says you say calculus, I say final math class ever. Cory says he was being told Day 2 that Kirsten was the target but he didn't get why. After a week, Jared understands the game is about more than winning comps. Cory says Hisam is a comp beast, though.. 11:40am BBT Jared says people drive Ferraris in the city. Cory says Ford F-250s in his town. Cory leaves to use the HoH WC and Cameron tells Jared that Cory knows the game - he was talking about auditions. I thought I knew the game, Cameron says, but I'm not even in the library. He tells Jared he knows he's in the bottom of the house but he's on the staying side. 12:04pm BBT Cory tells Izzy, Cirie, Mecole and Felicia that soda is his bad habbit, not caffeine but sugar. This is not the right place to give up sugar, he says. Felicia loves candy. Mecole says anything is OK as long as you show moderation. Cory moves on and Izzy tells Cirie that Cory said Reilly said Cirie is her number one. Cirie says Cory needs to stop talking to people, why is he telling people what others tell him? Felicia agrees and wants him to shut up. Izzy and Cirie's plan is Cameron goes next. Izzy thinks Hisam is trying to make a collective. So is the other side, Cirie replies. It's still Bye Bye Bitches, Cirie promises. 12:15pm BBT Izzy & Cirie move to the Humiliverse HNBR. Cirie likes the dog bed. Izzy says the cheese bed isn't so bad. They plan to sleep up there so they can keep an eye on the HoH BR. Izzy says Hisam said he has to stop winning comps and he's glad he can't play in the next HoH. It's too late for him to not be a comp target, she says. After Cameron, the next targets should be Jag then Blue. Cirie doesn't think they are dangerous. She worries Hisam won't want to let go of Cameron. She is worried that Hisam, Red and Cameron have a deal. Downstairs, Cameron tells Jared they should keep Cory around as a shield - he's a public enemy in the house. Hisam is going after physical threats first. 12:30pm BBT In the Scaryverse BR, Reilly seeks Jag's counsel. She needs to get Jared onboard, he says. He trusts Blue, Matt and Cirie, but wonders if Jared is playing a Cirie-like game (little does he know). Reilly trusts America. She thinks Cameron flipped to Hisam's side. Jag says it doesn't matter - he's on the block. in the Game Lounge, Cory tells America that Hisam is scary. He thinks Jag and Blue are with Hisam too. He suggests a partnershp with America and try to avoid being nominated together so one can save the other. America thinks they should have evicted Felicia last week because she was a number for them. She would have made the move. 12:30pm BBT In the Scaryverse BR, Reilly seeks Jag's counsel. She needs to get Jared onboard, he says. He trusts Blue, Matt and Cirie, but wonders if Jared is playing a Cirie-like game (little does he know). Reilly trusts America. She thinks Cameron flipped to Hisam's side. Jag says it doesn't matter - he's on the block. in the Game Lounge, Cory tells America that Hisam is scary. He thinks Jag and Blue are with Hisam too. He suggests a partnershp with America and try to avoid being nominated together so one can save the other. America thinks they should have evicted Felicia last week because she was a number for them. She would have made the move. 1:00pm BBT In HoH, Felicia tells Hisam she feels guilty breaking her promise to not vote out Reilly this week. Hisam warns that Cameron won't understand if she throws Reilly a sympathy vote. He knows she wants to be nice but shouldn't give a false impression. He says Reilly didn't do her any favors putting her on the block. Reilly thinks Felicia is old and weak. Felicia agrees, Reilly is only thinking of herself. He says HG are throwing themselves under the bus to save Reilly. The Professors will be in a good position. They need to be like Tiffany in BB23. Felicia asks who is next, but Hisam says wait until after HoH to discuss a target. If they don't win, it doesn't matter. So why plan? 1:13pm BBT In HoH, Hisam tells Felicia that Reilly made Jared and Cory pledge to her like a queen. Hisam says Jared picked the wrong door, then didn't send Reilly to the Nether Region. There's no backdoor - just vote her out. They have the numbers, it should be unanimous. Anyone who votes for Reilly will be in danger. The game is hard, he says, so much work just to get Reilly out. He tells Felicia he's not telling her what to do but he wants Reilly out.

8:35pm BBT Feeds return and the HG are all in the LR. Jag has been returned from the Nether Region. Cory asks if he could see them from the Nether Region. Jag said only when they could see him. He says he got some exercise while in the Nether Region. He asks when the HG pictures came up on the Memory Wall, and they say it just popped up without warning. The house slowly breaks up as everyone heads back to doing their own thing.

12:55am BBT Jared has disappeared into the Nether Region. Izzy wants his bed. The HN HG will be moving to the Scaryverse, Scrambleverse and BBComicVerse BRs. Jag wonders if there will be more impact on the game from the Nether Region. What if they can't vote or play Veto? 1:00am BBT Blue wants to tell Hisam she hurt her ankle and can't play Veto to keep him from nominating her. Jag thinks it will be either Red or Bowie. Maybe Cory. He thinks Izzy is in Hisam's ear. Blue says Hisam won't nominate Jag because it goes against his morals. She thinks Cory is his target. Jag says they shouldn't be seen together. 1:03am BBT America tells Blue she thinks Red got too excited over Hisam winning. They wonder if Hisam is close to Bowie. America will promise to not put Hisam up if he doesn't put her up this wee. Jag wonders if Jared will be gone all week. Can he be nom? Play Veto? All they know is he won't be in the house tnight. 1:05am BBT The HG are talking a mile a minute. Cameron says they had a rehearsal and Jared was on the screen listening. The comp was in the BB Basement, not the BY. Hisam says it was a really elaborate set. Reilly asks if today is Wednesday.

12:45AM BBT Feeds return. The HG have played the HoH comp and Hisam has the key around his neck. The HG are buzzin' as they grab food. They aren't rushing to the shower, so they didn't get dirty. Cirie tells Izzy that a bunch of HG threw it. She says Jared wanted to win but didn't, which was good. He showed his hand too early.

The BB Multiverse has sent a Survivor Legend into the house, scrambled the game, and forced everyone to play BB like never before. It's only Week 1. Welcome to Live Eviction night on BB! Previously on BB, the BB Multiverse sent in 4 Universes to twist up the game. The Scrambleverse had the new HG playing a Nominations Competition, and Felicia, Jared, Cory and Kirsten became the first noms of the season. But Cory also got dragged into the mysterious Nether Region. The Scrambleverse wasn't done, as it sent a Survivor Legend into the game. And Cirie would be secretly playing with her son. Cory returned from the Scaryverse and brought an ominous warning for the rest of the house. At the inaugural HoH comp, Reilly raced to victory. With the power to remove 2 noms from the chopping block, Reilly saved the boys and left up a pawn and a target. Reilly formed a final five with Cameron, Matt, Blue and Jag. But after Felicia started suspecting their alliance, she knew it was time to form her own fearsome fivesome. Wanting to ensure their domination, The Handful recruited Cory, America and Jared. But Jared quickly gave his mom the 411. At a humiliating PoV comp, the burlesque performer became blinged out in gold, and he chose not to rock the vote. Tonight, the HG will vote to evict either Felicia or Kirsten. Plus, what terrifying twist will emerge from the Scaryverse? All this live, on Big Brother! Good evening, I'm Julie Chen Moonves. Welcome to BB! It's Day 9 in the BB House and already the HG are playing this game on overdrive. Alliances are popping up everywhere, secrets are being exposed, and a split house appears to be brewing. What does this all mean as the HG prepare for their first eviction of the season? And what else does the BB Multiverse have in store for everyone tonight? We'll find live out before the hour is up. But first, there may be a large alliance made up of the younger people in the house, but have they underestimated their elders? Day 6, after the Veto meeting. Hisam tells us he has noticed the young people are spending a lot of time together, and he's not the only one. He knows they are in an alliance. He would have taken Felicia off the block but the House already decided Kirsten would be the first to go, so it seems Felicia is safe this week. Kirsten tells us it knocked the wind out of her lungs when Hisam didn't use the Veto. She didn't work this hard to be there to be the first person out. Eviction night one cannot be her story and legacy in BB. Reilly tells us her alliance of 8 can send home anyone they want, but evicting Kirsten is a whole-house decision. Felicia says she would have loved Hisam to use the Veto on her, but understands he didn't want to blow up his game. She'll keep playing even though she knows Kirsten is the target. Although she has the Bye Bye Bitches, that's only 4 votes. She needs to get busy getting 8-9 people to say she's safe on Eviction Night. In the WA, America checks on Kirsten. She tells us the house has decided Kirsten is going home, but Kirsten trusts her, so maybe it's a bad idea. Let's play the game, she tells Kirsten, just get to know people on a personal level, establish trust. Kirsten is grasping for anyone to take her in, America tells us, and Felicia is close to Cirie, Izzy and Hisam, who are not part of her alliance. Maybe it's better to keep Kirsten and kick out Felicia. If I get off, Kirsten tells America, I owe my game to them. In the Comicverse BR, Hisam talks with Felicia, Cirie, Bowie and Izzy, suggesting the older people get together this season and won the game. It's never been this many in their age bracket and they can show America the game is for everybody. Hisam tells us the old people are historically voted out first, and that has to stop. Younger people underestimate how competitive older adults can be. Hisam tells Felicia, Cirie, Bowie and Izzy that Jag, Blue, Reilly and Cameron are together for sure. We have to rope in Red and Mecole (basically everyone 30 or older) so we can stay a strong 7. I love it when a play comes together, Cirie comments. She tells us she feels good about this alliance, we're aligned for something greater, and I'm happy to let Hisam lead the charge. You never want to chop off the tail or the middle of the snake. Mecole comes outside to an empty BY. Cirie, Izzy and Bowie are hiding up on the balcony. They wave at her to come up, Izzy giggling like a school girl. Red comes outside and Izzy frantically waves for him too. Cirie tells Mecole about their solid 7 with Meme (Mecole), Izzy, Red, Bowie, herself, Felicia, and Hisam. Red tells us he likes the idea, they have a very stable group. Izzy tells the others what divides the house is the young, hot singles running around like the popular kids. Izzy suggests the name for their alliance, The Professors because they're taking the kids to school. Up next, Kirsten has been the obvious target, but could a house divided change her fate? Plus, one HG leaves the BB game early. Stay with us. WB to BB. It's been an emotional 24hrs in the BB House as the HG learned one of their own broke the BB Code of Conduct and was removed from the game. The HG are gathered in the BY, but Kirsten is alone by the exercise equipment. It's tough, she tells us, I'm all alone and nobody's on my side. This is no joke. In the Game Lounge, she tells Luke she was nervous to talk to him. He replies he didn't know how to play the game initially. It's sad, Luke tells Kirsten, you're in an unfortunate situation, a nightmare. Just try to be chill, relax, pretend you're not on the block. It's hard, because there are some who will give you the cold shoulder. I was getting that too. In the Humiliverse BR, Cory is talking to Jared in the doggie bed along with Luke and Hisam. It's got to happen, Cory says, but it breaks his heart. Jared agrees. Hisam spins the when to exit. Luke says she (Kirsten) got dealt a bad hand and its a shame she's getting the cold shoulder. They usually do that kind of pariah behavior later on. It's the first week! It's not like she's a bad person, Cory says. When we were in the cheese room, <bleep>, Luke says and immediately stops himself, with a guilty grin on his face. Hisam has a look of shock and Cory is stunned. Anyways, Luke continues, trying to laugh it off. Yeah, Jared stars... I'm sorry, Luke apologizes. I got to go, Cory quickly says and spins the wheel. Jared tells us his non-reaction in the moment, being the only Black male in the house, I don't know what to say. Anything I say or do can come across wrong or aggressive. When we were in the cheese room, <bleep>, Luke says and immediately stops himself, with a guilty grin on his face. Hisam has a look of shock and Cory is stunned. Anyways, Luke continues, trying to laugh it off. Yeah, Jared stars... I'm sorry, Luke apologizes. I got to go, Cory quickly says and spins the wheel. Jared tells us his non-reaction in the moment, being the only Black male in the house, I don't know what to say. Anything I say or do can come across wrong or aggressive. They don't know how to handle things, Jared says of Cory and Hisam, which is so funny. In situations that should be uncomfortable for a Black man, white people get more uncomfortable. They probably thought I was going to respond in a certain way. Did you just hear, Jared imagines... He just went down, Luke plays along, you wouldn't believe what he just said... Well, Luke realizes, I'm in trouble now. Jared's joviality dries up. The next morning, the HG are in the WA getting ready for the day when Luke is called to the DR. With a knowing expression, he walks through the house without saying anything. Some time later, Reilly exits the DR door that Luke had gone through with a note. She calls everyone to the LR. The HG think there's a twist. Nobody seems to notice Luke is not there. Houseguests, Reilly reads, due to violating the BB Code of Conduct by using a racial slur (Bowie, Izzy and Cirie are stunned, implying that Jared, Cory and Hisam had not yet shared what Luke had said), Luke has been removed from the house and will no longer be participating in the BB Game. Blue gasps. Hisam looks stunned. Felicia looks mad. Cory has a knowing poker face. Mecole is paying close attention. The game goes on, Reilly says, and the live vote and eviction will continue as scheduled. The HG are silent as they digest this news. Cory speaks up and says he's almost certain he knows what the incident is. He explains he, Luke, Jared and Hisam were in the room and telling him to go to bed, Luke used a derogatory word for a Black person at him in a very casual, between friends, kind of way. I walked out, wondering if I just heard that. Hisam says he didn't hear it. You didn't, Cory asks, surprised? Jared tells the group he respects what Cory said, but it's not fair to have this as a family convo. He tells us he's had friends like Luke in the past, and it's hard to have that conversation. That's why I didn't tell anyone. I don't associate ignorance with malice. Whether Luke meant it in that way or not, we were clearly told the rules and regulations before coming into the house. I understand the decision and I understand there are consequences to actions. Being the only Black male in the house, it's hard to explain where you're coming from. Jared wishes Luke the best and hopes it was a learning situation for him. While Luke is no longer in the BB House, JCM says, the game continues and there are still 2 noms awaiting their fate on the chopping block. Red talks to Reilly in HoH. Red says there's always someone up there when he wanted to talk to her. He tells us as a member of The Professors, he wants to fish for info. Reilly tells him they are all still just trying to work out the kinks week one. He says he's not had any serious conversations and is not part of any alliance. He's observing and watching, looking for a group to get into. He just wants to find the majority and get onboard. Red tells Reilly his instincts are that she, Matt, Cory, Jared, Blue, maybe America, and Jag... He tells us he named off her alliance and could tell he hit the nail on the head. Reilly tells us that Red names her entire alliance to my face. I'm stunned, I've never talked game with him. She tells him that they are her buddies and she hangs with them but there's no alliance. I'd tell you. It's just my observation, he replies, I'm not book smart, just country smart. Izzy goes to talk with Reilly in HoH. She feels like they haven't talked at all. Izzy says Reilly has been into having people come to her and she just wants to make her feel good and let her know even if they are on opposite sides, there are ways they can look out for each other. I don't really mean it, she says, I'm going to target her first chance I get. Reilly gives Izzy the same song and dance about it being early, still meeting people, making friends, but why make promises. Izzy interrupts her to say she doesn't mean to interrupt, but let's cut the BS. We know what's up. Reilly has a look of surprise. We're working with other people, Izzy declares, but I hear things. I want you to be working with people that you trust, and I want to work with people I trust. Even though we've fallen into different circles, I'm still looking out for you. Reilly responds in kind, saying she's sketched out about next week. Reilly tells us that she isn't sure Izzy meant it when she said she wouldn't be her target next week. She's paranoid that she's seen as a ring leader and that's not who she is. Reilly tells Izzy she's done her deed (as HoH). In the BY, Izzy tells Cirie about her convo, saying Reilly was spiraling with the same sentence over and over. I did the right thing interrupting her, Izzy asks, right? Cirie tells us Izzy has a huge personality but she doesn't want the target to grow because of that. Calm down, Izzy. She's super sensitive and Cirie has to be super careful because Izzy knows her secret. I know me, Cirie says, and at some point I'll have to tell her to stop. In HoH, Reilly tells Cameron, Matt, America and Blue she's been grilled today. She says Red guessed their entire alliance. She sounded like a lunatic but she's constantly under fire. She tears up, saying it's a lot for her. Jag walks in. It's fine, she regroups, I expected this. But if Izzy wins (HoH), one of us is going home. America asks if it may be a waste of an HoH to take out Kirsten? Blue tells us Kirsten was playing the game really hard, really fast, and it bit her in the butt. Her heart's in the right place but she went about it the wrong way. Jag tells us there are positives for keeping Kirsten - she'll be loyal to whomever takes a chance on her. Reilly tells us Kirsten is the asy out this week, but the way things are going, the house is heating up and if she kept her in the house, she might feel indebted to them, and that would be an extra number. If we've already been outed to the house, why not just add a number and send it. Cameron and Matt are silent. Up next, JCM says, it's the first live eviction of the season, Kirsten and Felicia. Who will be the first HG walking out the front door? And later, the BB Multiverse is just getting started Stay with us. WB to BB. It is time for the live vote and eviction. Either Kirsten or Felicia will claim the infamous title of first evicted. Let's head to the LR. JCM tells Kirsten to go first with a brief statement. Kirsten says she is enjoying to get to know the HG and build relationships, and thanks them for working with her. They have given her fairness and she returns with loyalty. She can compete, she trained to be there, she will support each of them for their qualities and is comfortable with everyone. I hope you'll consider me tonight. Let's get it. Felicia is next and tells the HG they are her new family, an extension, a pleasure and honor to be with them. She has way more game in her, more demands (laughs) for Mr. B, she clarifies, please let me stay in the house a little longer. This has been a dream and I want to keep playing. But if it's my time to go, it's OK too because everything has a purpose. It is now time for the live voting to begin. It takes 7 votes tonight to be evicted. Hisam votes to evict Kirsten. Jag sadly votes to evict Kirsten. Izzy votes to evict Kirsten. Cameron votes to evict Kirsten. The vote is currently 4 to evict Kirsten, no votes for Felicia. The remaining votes when we return. WB to BB. Let's continue with the live voting. Matt sadly chooses to evict Kirsten, but then doesn't get the signal to return to the LR. Blue excitedly votes to evict Kirsten. America votes to evict Kirsten. Mecole, with a heavy heart but a big smile, votes to evict Kirsten. Cirie votes to evict Kirsten. G'Day, Bowie votes to evict Kirsten. Cory votes to evict Kirsten. Beat you, Zach, he says (Cory's older brother Zach was the first Castaway voted out on Survivor 42). Red votes to evict Kirsten. Finally, Jared sadly votes to evict Kirsten. All the votes are in, says JCM, let's give the news to the HG. HG, when I reveal the vote, the evicted HG will say their goodbyes and leave the BB House. By a vote of 13-0, Kirsten, you are evicted from the BB House. Kirsten receives hugs from the HG who don't want her to stay. You can hear heartbeats from her microphone as each HG whispers words of support to her. They applaud as she leaves the house, trying to grab a peek through the door to the studio audience. In the house, the remaining HG congratulate themselves on their first eviction. Hisam and Matt embrace in bear hug, each trying to out-squeeze the other. When we return, JCM says, I'll talk one-on-one with Kirsten. WB to BB. Kirsten was just evicted by a vote of 13-0. First voted out this season. Kirsten says she was surprised, she had good relationships early, tried to get confirmations from people before making decisions, continuously checking in with them, and they told her she was good, they had her, she had their vote. Where she went wrong was they said they wanted it to be a n unanimous vote to alleviate the tension in the house, and they wanted to know who she had already lined up. That's gone wrong in past seasons, where you list out your votes, and that changes. She mentions Swaggy on Season 20. I gave numbers but didn't feel comfortable naming names. Obviously, those that told her she had their number was not the case, Kirsten says. She feels most betrayed by Cirie after she took their private conversations to the HoH. JCM teases about a secret relationship in the house. Kirsten would be surprised. JCM reveals that Cirie is Jared's mother. Kirsten is at first surprised, but then reveals that an hour before the live show, Jared said his family calls him J Bleazy, and someone mentioned that Cirie's son has the same name. The audience gasps. Kirsten didn't think anything of it at the time, but now... It's crazy because Jared's on one side of the house and she's on the other. But are they really, asks JCM, conspiratorially? Kirsten laughs. It's time for GB Messages. Reilly says Kirsten is a wonderful person inside and out. Jared says it was a couple bad decisions made early on in her game that put her in this position. America is sorry they had to let her go, she just played too hard too early. Matt says unfortunately they all decided to vote her out because no one wants to get blood on their hands. Mecole says she loves and adores her. JCM asks Kirsten for final thoughts. I thought there were more in the house, Kirsten quips. We can't show everything, JCM laughs. Kirsten thanks JCM for telling her she smells good. You do, JCM laughs, whatever your wearing. Up next, what does the BB Multiverse have in store for the HG? Stay with us. Welcome back to BB. Tune in Sunday at 8pm ET to see who is crowned HoH, plus the Scaryverse sends a never-before-seen twist into the game. And on Wednesday at 8pm ET, the Power of Veto is back up for grabs. And next Thursday, another HG will be sent packing live. You can watch all the drama on the BB live feeds on Paramount+ (https://mortystv.com/to/feeds) or on Pluto.TV/BBLF. For now, let's eavesdrop on the HG. From outside the BB House, I'm JCM. The camera pans into the KT/Dining area, but there's nobody there. There are no HG in the living room as well. JCM calls out, Houseguests? The Scrambleverse BR is silent. Houseguests? The Scaryverse BR is eerily empty. Where are they, asks JCM? A throbbing noise is heard in the house. The Scaryverse orb in the Living Room is glowing. The camera moves to the BY where a circular blue portal is glowing. There's a flash and the portal disappears.

Previously on Big Brother, The BB Multiverse was cracked open in the first twist of the game. On opening night, the Scrambleverse forced the new Houseguests into nomination competitions. And Kirsten, Cory, Felicia and Jared ended up on the Chopping Block. But the Scrambleverse wasn't done, as it sent in a Survivor legend as the 17th Houseguest. Cirie had a big secret, and Izzy quickly figured it out. Nominee Kirsten knew she needed allies, so after joining a 5-person alliance, she then immediately pledged loyalty to Cirie and Felicia. But after Jared reported back to his mom, Kirsten was in the line of fire. The Houseguests learned the HoH would be removing two nominees from the Chopping Block, and Reilly super-sped her way to power. Felicia, Jared and Cirie went to work throwing Kirsten under the bus. At the nomination ceremony, the guys were good while Kirsten wasn't sitting pretty. Tonight, it's the first Veto comp of the summer. Will the golden power save one of the noms? Plus, the game kicks into gear as major alliances begin to form. All this, right now, on Big Brother! Day 3, after nominations. Reilly tells us her target is Kirsten because she came into the house guns blazing, playing too much too fast. Felicia is the pawn because she's the sweetest angle and nobody's target. Kirsten tells us she was betrayed by Reilly, who was in the Phalanx Five alliance with her. I don't like bold faced liars, she says. Jared is happy to be off the block but he can't chill - he and his momma are both still in danger. Cory says the Nether Region is scary, but the block is terrifying. A billion pounds just came off my shoulders. Felicia says I'm on the block in the very first week. OMG. I need a cup of tea. But Taylor was on the block 4-5 times last season and the girl won, so I'm not discouraged. Izzy finds Kirsten crying in the Comicverse BR and offers comfort. Cirie comes in as well and they both give Kirsten a hug. Kirsten is a hot mess and a loose cannon, Cirie tells us, and that may not be good for me and Jared. We're never going to be safe. America tells Kirsten to let it out now and be 1000% tomorrow. Kirsten tells us the only way she can save herself is to go out as hard as she can (for Veto). In HoH, Reilly tells Felicia she is not the target. Reilly tells us that in case Felicia wins Veto, she needs to reassure her that she's just a pawn. Reilly tells Felicia that Kirsten has ruffled everyone's feathers and has her hand in in all these cookie jars and the cookie jars are talking. The chocolate chips are talking to the Oreos, Felicia replies. Felicia tells her she trusts Reilly that she's just a pawn. She tells us that she likes to be in control of her destiny, so the Veto comp is crucial. In the Game Lounge, Luke, Jag and Cory are talking. Jag says it didn't feel real until there were just 2 noms. It didn't feel real until the keys, Luke agrees, and tells Cory he didn't realize he was on the Chopping Block. We were in the competition, Cory reminds Luke. Jag says either Luke is a secret genius acting dumb or he really is this dumb. Luke didn't realize Cory was nom until his face popped up as one of Reilly's saved HG. The HG get the BY for the first time. America tells us it's gorgeous. Felicia walks over to the Hot Tub and dips a toe in, but the rest of her quickly slips and falls in as well (that's one Microphone down). I was just tring to put my toe in, she exclaims as Kirsten, Cirie, Izzy and Reilly help pull her out. Cameron tells us he's gotten close to a few people in the BB House, all his companions in the Scaryverse BR: Blue, Jag, Matt and Reilly. Different types but it feels they've known each other forever. They even adopted a pineapple child. You can always find time to cut a rug and burn it up. They are dancing to the morning song in the Scaryverse BR when Felicia walks in. I was a marksman with a 9 mm, she tells us, I don't miss nothing. It's obvious they've gained a connection, and flags are up, my eyebrows are raised. In the Humiliverse HNR, Jag wants to talk with Reilly. She cuts him off and says she can see them sitting at the end together. I got you 1000%. You're my #1 person, she says. You're mine, he confirms. They shake then hug. She tells us she's super comfortable with everyone in the Scaryverse BR but Jag is who she wants to stay loyal to. Ride or die, they confirm to each other, easy money. He tells us she's loyal, a competitor, has a lot of integrity, so this Final 2 feels really great. Reilly gets kicked in the butt so she can leave the room. In HoH, Blue, Jag, Matt and Cameron join Reilly for more Silent Disco. Reilly tells us it's time to make the Scaryverse alliance official. They are all different puzzle pieces, a muscle comp beast (Matt), a social butterfly (Cameron)... Muscle comp beast, says Jag, pointing to himself. They all laugh. She says the game is going to heat up fast and they each need their own eyes and ears... Well, says Matt, at least the eyes. They all laugh again. They decide to call themselves the Handful because there are 5, and the Scaryverse BR has hands outside the windows. Final 5, Reilly says, this is my family. Matt thinks the Handful Five has a good thing going, smart people, athletic people and cute girls too. What more can you ask for? It is the coolest feeling securing a bond with these people, Reilly tells us, this is how history is made. They dance their fingers in a huddle and explode in solidarity. In the Humiliverse HNR, Cory promises Cirie he'll eventually stop being a fan boy. Cirie sits on a stool and it lets out a fart. What the F, she exclaims! Of course the chair is going to fart in the Humiliverse HNR, she tells us, what am I thinking? I didn't know, Cory insists. The only farts you smell on Survivor, Cirie tells us, are real ones. Cirie tells him she doesn't care if he fan boys. He tells us he's so excited to be playing BB with Cirie Fields, and so terrified because she destroys kids like him at these games. She is the biggest threat in the house, but I just want to talk with her. You got robbed in Micronesia, he tells her, you've had some creative ways to lose Survivor. I have both eyes, feet and hands watching Cory, Cirie tells us, a super fan shouldn't admit he knows her resume so well. He should know better than to tell someone how good a player they are. Cory promises to treat her like a real human being, not a character I've watched on TV. Cory tells us Cirie is the one to beat. How can I knock her out? I'm going to have to figure it out. As long as I'm the one at the end, I can live with that. In the Fitness Room, Jag tells Hisam that the closest Sikh temple where he lives is in Canada. Hisam realizes Jag is the first Sikh to be on Big Brother. Bowie walks in as Jag talks about his experience representing his community. Hisam says it can be hard to be the first, you either reinforce the stereotype or make people more aware. Jag says the first thing people see when he walks into a room is the turban, not the person. Bowie says it's because people aren't familiar with it. Jag says they latch onto what they know. In the DR, he says everyday he has to think about what it means to be a brown man with a beard and a turban. He tries to dispel negative cultural beliefs, one day, one conversation, one smile, one joke at a time. Hisam tells Jag and Bowie his background is Egyptian. It took him time to figure out what it meant to be Arab in America, he tells them. Jag understands, there was so Islamophobia after 9/11, he had hate directed towards him because they thought he was Muslim. Being a Sikh is not a Muslim, and that's still not OK even if I was. Hisam tells them that he's cautious about sharing his religious and cultural background because not everyone is open-minded. Hisam tells us it was nice to have that conversation with Jag because they share similar stories about wanting to raise their communities up and sharing who they are with America. Felicia walks in on Izzy, Cirie, Mecole and Bowie in the Comicverse BR under the pretense of finding a new blanket. But really, it is to share her theory. Dramatically, she shares that the HG in the Scaryverse BR have bonded a little too closely. They have an alliance, she tells us in the DR, and the other three in the Comicverse BR. You can see it and feel it, she says, we need to create a counter-alliance of our own. We are 5 people, Felicia tells Izzy, Cirie, Mecole and Bowie. Bowie asks about adding Reilly but Izzy says she's on the other side. Bowie says it's a bit risky and steps outside, telling the others to keep talking. She tells us she trusts these ladies but left the room so it wouldn't be too obvious. So are we aligned, Izzy asks? We're the Bye Bye Bitches, Felicia confirms, pointing to the dialogue bubble on the wall. The others ROFL. Cirie tells us she felt coming into the game everyone would keep her at an arm's length, but she's willing to stay loyal to the Bye Bye Bitches as long as the Bye Bye Bitches stay loyal to her. In HoH, Reilly is entertained by Matt and Cameron, who wonders how they can take him seriously looking like this (his hair is tied up into two Mickey Mouse ears). Cory enters, and Reilly tells us the Handful is solid but to run the house, they need to recruit more people. They decided to bring in Cory, Jared and America because they each add something unique. Cameron presents the alliance to Cory as if they are just now forming it. Cory is taken aback they thought of him. He tells us this is good news, there's a massive alliance with me in it! If they win a comp, I should be good. Cory tells them he just wants a home. With Cory, Blue, Jag, Matt and Cameron in HoH, they make the pitch to America. She tells us BB is a number's game and she feels solid with a big group of people. In the Scaryverse BR, Jag sits down with Jared to give him a heads up on the Total alliance, half the house. He lists the other 6 and says they all have to protect each other. Jared tells us it's great to get some safety in the game, but his mom isn't in the alliance. He finds her in the Comicverse BR and fills her in. We knew this, she tells him, the house is split. It's a plus Jared is part of the big alliance, Cirie tells us, because I can get information from him. But at the same time, I'm nervous because I could be their target. She runs to him for a quick kiss and a hug, then on her way out of the BR, tells him to stop talking so much! Jared looks at her like she just caught him doing something in the bathroom he shouldn't be doing. In the WA, Kirsten is talking to the cameras about the Veto. She's giving herself a pep talk, promising to not give up, blood, sweat, tears. She'll work Reilly going forward if she stays in the game - Keep your friends close but keep your enemies closer. I just gained a new one. In the DR, she tells us she is going to fight to stay in the house; game face on, Kirsten activated to the best of her ability. It's time to pick PoV players. Reilly picks Hisam. Kirsten tells us she can only trust herself. She picks Blue. Felicia wanted one of the Bye Bye Bitches so she could say Bye Bye to the block but picks Cameron. Cirie wants to influence Hisam to keep noms the same if she wins, so she decides to tell him about the 8 person alliance. She tells us she knows Kirsten is the target but she doesn't want to risk Felicia coming off and either her or Jared going up. In front of Izzy on the LR couch, Cirie tells Hisam there's an 8 person alliance. For real, he asks? How did you find out? It's not rocket science, she says, I just observe. Apparently there's an 8 person alliance without me, Hisam tells us, so I have to win Veto to keep myself safe. The BY has been turned into a garden paradise with huge flowers growing next to vase pedestals. The Veto players are dressed like farmers in country shirts and suspenders. Red wants to know what kind of fertilizer they use. Cirie hosts, welcoming the HG to the Humiliverse Veto comp, where it is an honor to be humiliated, and today, they will get the privilege of experiencing an Atomic Wedgie. Veto players will stack 35 foam flower pieces (various sizes of stemmed flowers and petals) on their vase, but could be humiliated at any moment as they are hoisted into the air by their underwear. Each Veto player is connected by the middle of their back and two sides of their hips to a cable on a pully. The HG have a basket of flowers by their buzzer, and an empty pedestal vase about 10' away. There is no set pattern to build your stack of flowers, but they must balance on the vase. If any (or all) fall, they must be added back. Each HG starts with a different floral arrangement pattern, some mixing different styles and others putting the same style on each row. Then, without warning, their derriere is yanked backwards and up off the ground, their underwear stretched out behind them. Blue is terrified of heights. They are lowered back to the ground and pick up where they left off. After 6 months, the Humiliverse sprays water onto the flowers (and players). Hisam is making good progress but suddenly all his flowers fall. Reilly has a nice pattern of flower layers. They get yanked away again. Cory says this is so hard to watch, it reminds him of Jr. High. Kirsten and Blue lose their stack. They are yanked again. Felicia has 12 stacked, then is pulled up by her drawers. She comes back and the flowers fall. All the HG are experiencing epic collapses. Cameron is close with 34 flowers and then disaster strikes. Hisam has a strategy of using the laurels in the middle of his stack. After 24 minutes, Kirsten has 21 pieces and Reilly is worried. Reilly is at 25. Kirsten is at 35. Then her stack falls. Reilly is crushing it at 26. Felicia loses it at 26. Hisam at 24. This is really hard, he says, maybe he can use the roses to widen the base and build a more solid foundation. At 31 flowers, Reilly loses everything. Blue loses hers after 25. Cameron at 24. 36 minutes into the competition, Felicia and Hisam lose it again. Kirsten and Cameron have something growing. But nobody seems to be able to build their petal pyramid and Mecole worries instead of congratulating the winner, she'll be wishing them Merry Christmas. Hisam has an ungainly stack of 31 flower pieces. But he can't land the 32nd. Sometimes they get a lot of pieces, sometimes only a few, but they always lose their stack before placing the 35th flower. Kirsten is at 24 pieces and thinks she has found the right formula. Felicia has not. Hisam is so nervous, his hands are shaking. Just breath, he tells himself. He and Kirsten are neck and neck. Hisam loses a couple pieces but his core structure remains sound. Kirsten is slow and steady. Hisam is at 34 pieces as he shakily tries to balance his last petal on the stack. Kirsten loses her stack. Hisam races back to the button and presses it. Hisam wins the Power of Veto! I win, Hisam gloats in HoH, and there's nothing I like better than having this power. Now, how can he best use it for his game? Felicia hopes Reilly was telling the truth about her being a pawn. Reilly worries Hisam is not in her alliance and may foil her plan. Kirsten will not walk out of the house this week, she tells us, just watch and see. In the BY hammock, Kirsten talks with Hisam about the Veto. She hopes he will take her off. She asks how he feels and he says it was more intense than he expected. What can I do to help you, he asks her. Take me down, she says, she promises to be a great teammate, there's power in numbers and I want to be loyal to you. Hisam says at his heart, he's a protector, that's what his name means. Hisam tells us he needs people on his side but wonders if helping Kirsten will help him. He tells her he won't be making any hasty decisions. It is time for the Veto ceremony. He calls the HG in from the BY. Once assembled in the LR, he announces he has decided to not use the Power of Veto, leaving Kirsten and Felicia on the block. He says he's met both of them and could never decide between them, so he leaves it to the other HG. The Veto Meeting is adjourned. Hisam tells us he came in 2nd in the Kicking Butt comp, 2nd in the first HoH, and just won PoV. He doesn't want to give anyone more reason to target him. Being a pawn is not ideal, Felicia tells us, I just hope I can trust what people have said and I'm not falling into a trap like I fell into that hot tub (splash). I am not giving up on myself, Kirsten says, my back is against the wall, but I'm not out that door yet. Now that it has been confirmed there is an 8-person alliance that did not include me, Cirie tells us, it's time for the Bye Bye Bitches to get to work building our numbers so we can say bye bye to that alliance. They are going to be sorry, she cackles, you should have played with me! Who will be evicted from the Big Brother House, Kirsten or Felicia? And what will the BB Multiverse unleash next? Find out Live, Thursday night at 9pm ET on Big Brother!

Previously on BB, three BB legends broke into the house and inadvertently cracked open the BB Multiverse, launching the BB Comicverse, the Scrambleverse, the Humiliverse and the Scaryverse into the game. With the multiverse in play, 16 strangers began the battle for $750k. Among them, the molecular biologist, the chillbilly, the flutist, the deaflympian, the brand strategist, and the son of a Survivor legend. The Scrambleverse scrambled up the first competitions of the summer, and the HG went to battle to try and stay off the block. In the end, Jared, Kirsten, Cory and Felicia became nominees, and Cory was also sucked into the mysterious Nether Region. Before the night was through, the Scrambleverse had one more twist to unleash, and for the first time ever, a Survivor player entered the BB game, making Cirie the 17th HG. Tonight, will Cirie and Jared be able to keep their Mother/Son secret under wrap? Plus, what other twists does the BB Multiverse have in store? And who will claim power and become the first HoH of the season? Find out right now on BB! Day 1. Cirie is pouring blue champagne as the HG return to the KT from the BB Multiverse comps. Jared doesn't let on that he recognizes his mother. Other HG quickly recognize Cirie from Survivor. Felicia wonders why she's in the BB House. Reilly is a big fan of Survivor, but she wasn't expecting this. Cirie confirms to Felicia she's a 17th HG. I'm in the BB House, bitches, Cirie tells us. Flashbacks to Cirie's time on Survivor. She never won but feels like an expert on these games, she's a gangster in an Opra suit. But a nice gangster with a smile. She says she's known for her powers of persuasion and usually gets what she wants. She makes the rounds to great the other 16 HG. There's someone she knows really well, she tells us, the plan with Jared is to stay undetected, so she's not telling anyone. Jared introduces himself to Cirie. They hug and she moves on. Izzy says is that Cirie? She immediately calls Jared over and whispers, "you're Cirie Fields' son, aren't you?" I know exactly who this woman is, Izzy tells us, I stalk her social media and know Jared is her son. They quickly walk off to a corner and Jared asks her to keep it to herself. Yes, she says, I don't want you going home. Izzy doesn't think any of the other HG realize Cirie and Jared's relationship. This is between us, she tells him. They pinky swear secrecy, sealed with a kiss on the pinky. I got you, she assures him. Jared tells us he and his mom planned for the secret, but it's scary someone found out barely an hour into the house. I hope Izzy doesn't say anything, I don't want a target on me day one. Back in the house, the HG explore the Multiverse Bedrooms. There's a BBComicsverse BR with bold colors and strokes, a Scrambleverse BR ith upside down furnishings and a Scaryverse BR that looks like an demon asylum with zombies trying to break in. Blue wants to sleep there. In the KT, Reilly and Jag bond while juggling apples. He likes her positive energy. In the WA, Red tells Cameron about his life traveling across America. I find you discover more about who you ain't than who you are, he tells him. Cameron says he's the Space Cowboy and Red's the Space Hillbilly. Kirsten comes in to use the WC and says there's a bidet. Red has never used one but has a water hose outside the outhouse. Kirsten tells us Cameron is quirky and Red reminds him of someone from Duck Dynasty. Kirsten can't turn off the bidet (it cuts off automatically after 20-30s). Cirie and Izzy are in the SR when Jared walks in and says, "Ma." Cirie's expression is, "What?!!!" Just putting it out there, he explains, she knows. She came to me immediately. Izzy assures Cirie that she has Jared's back. I'm not even kidding, she says, he's safe. They hug. My #1 goal, Cirie tells us, is making Izzy trust me. I lost the first challenge, Jared tells Cirie. That's OK, she assures him. You're coming off the block, Izzy tells him. Let's do it, Cirie exclaims! Us three 'till the wheels fall off, Jared says. I have power over him and Cirie, Izzy tells us, because I'm the only one who knows. Felicia calls the HG to the LR so they can get to know each other. Luke goes first, a 30yr old illustrator from south Florida. Red says he's from the Smokey Mountains, has a GF and 3 youngin's back home. He delivered all his kids. Blue tells us she couldn't do that (the mamma kind of has to be there). America leads with the truth, a 2yr old receptionist at a dermatology office, but she quit to come on the show. Felicia introduces herself and says she's 63 and starts to talk about her family when the Scaryverse orb starts pulsing. Cory is seen being returned to the Scaryverse BR from the Nether Region with a message. Screams erupt in the LR when he enters. He tells us he has a little ground to make up. He tells the HG he has a message from the Scaryverse. He was in the Nether Region only for a short time. He touches his chest, as if to suggest the experience was unspeakable. Next week, he continues, one of you won't be so lucky. He scans the room and spots Cirie, at first thinking it's the best day of his life. Realizing they were doing introductions, Cory jokes he's a 21yr old college student from from the Nether. Laughter. He says he's actually in school in Nashville by way of Ft. Lauderdale. Cameron says he looks super young, he's going to get carded for a long time, he'll get the 2-pack of crayons and a kids menu at restaurants. Mecole is next, a newlywed from Washington DC but leaves out her occupation as a political consultant. Jared has one kid, a 6yr old pit bull. Cirie tells us she's here with her best friend, all the highs and lows, they'll feel them together. I made him, so I know he's got what it takes, she says. Reilly is 24yrs old today, she says. Matt tells us Reilly catches his eye, her eyes, blond hair. He tells the HG he's 27, a swimmer and deaflympic record holder. I can't hear, he says, my ears kind of suck. So if you need my attention, just throw something at me. Just not in the face. Izzy geeks out over his being a deaf Olympic champion (sanctioned by the International Olympic Committee but not part of the Olympics or Paralympics). He's tall, he's thick, he's sculpted, she says, for Matt, there's a 0.01 something. Kirsten says he's got golden eyes and shaped like Zeus, but I can tell he's tricky. Bowie Jane says just call her Bowie. She's a 34yr old Aussie DJ from LA. Red gives us his Australian imitation. Hisam says he's a 45yr old nursing assistant by day and burlesque cabaret performer by night. He's got a unique laugh that catches Mecole's attention. Blue makes content around food and restaurants. Kirsten comes from Dominica, a small island in the Caribbean, and just started her own swimwear brand. Cirie introduces herself as 53 with 3 boys, John, Jamel and Jamie, and she acknowledges she's from Survivor. Cory tells us he knows the Cirie playbook - she makes you feel #1 and then gets to the end instead of you. He's star struck, but no amount of starstrucking will distract me from wanting to win this game. The HG are socializing in the LR when the Humiliverse orb begins throbbing. A message drops into the house from a pneumatic tube: who is brave enough to humiliate themselves by becoming the first HNs of the season? Silence. Jared raises his hand, followed by Cory, who missed out on claiming a bed. Luke makes a show of fighting his arm rising to volunteer. Hasim claims the fourth spot and the other HG celebrate it is not them. They enter the HNBR to find a hot dog bed, a wedge of cheese bed, a suspended mattress, and a doggie bed. A neon sign says Total Puppet Master (with Master struck out). Another sign says You Are A Wiener (with Winner scratched out). A third sign says Comp Beast (scratched out) Comp Bust. The last sign says You Rule (scratched out) Stink. Luke quickly claims the cheese. Anyone who enters the Humiliverse HNBR, there is only one way to leave. You must spin a dial which has numbers on it (1, 5, 10,25) and but get kicked in the britches the number of times spun. This is for the entire season and applies to everyone who is in the HNBR now (all 17 HG). The boot is the same contraption used in the Humiliverse comp on Premier night. I'm a nominee, Felicia says, I don't need to get kicked in the butt again. In the LR, Jared grabs a quick moment with Cirie. He's worried others are noticing they haven't talked at all. She just doesn't want to be too obvious. She advises him to solidify his things. He's got Luke and Heisman, Hymen. Hisam, Cirie asks? Hymen is what breaks when you lose your virginity. Jared's eyes get real wide. She warns him to be careful about talking too loud when suggesting to someone else that they should talk later. She tells us she's worried he's nom. She loves all her kids, but it's crazy to be here with him, see him playing this little game, that's my boy, mind blowing. Jared tells us his mom being a legend puts stress on him to not be the one to go first. We got to get to work, she tells him. It's 5am in the gym and Jared, Kirsten, Reilly and Luke are watching Matt pull up rubber bands attached to the floor. Reilly suggests they make it a thing and work out in the morning. The Brochachos, she suggests. Kirsten says the best way to ensure her safety is to have an alliance with fit guys. Luke suggests a phalanx, when the Spartans line up with their spears and shields, they're impenetrable. The Phalanx Five, he suggests. Reilly tells us it's night one and she doesn't think this will be a real alliance. It's not nerdy, Luke tells the other Phalanx Five, it's cool as hell. They huddle hands on it. Jared doesn't know how they went from staying fit to forming an alliance but he's not going to refuse while he's on the block. In the SR, Cirie helps Kirsten with her mic pack. Kirsten tells us she feels good about getting off the nom block with her Phalanx Five alliance, but she and Jared are both on the block, and that might not be enough to keep her safe She tells Cirie that "you guys" are people we want to protect, in past seasons, the older HG have been voted out ASAP and it's not fair. It's too easy. Cirie appreciates her saying that. She butters Cirie's toast with platitudes and Cirie appears to eat it up. Cirie admits to us she knew she'd have a huge target on her back because of her Survivor reputation, so her goal is to play the game day-to-day and she'll listen to any offers. You got me, Cirie confirms to Kirsten. Kirsten moves to the Scrambleverse BR and makes the same pitch to Felicia, proposing the two of them and Cirie. I'm all in, Felicia confirms, we there. Girl power on, Felicia cackles. Jared and Cirie steal a moment in the BBComicsverse BR, where she fills him in on the 3-person alliance with Kirsten and Felicia. Jared doesn't trust Kirsten, because he's also in an alliance with her. She's playing way too hard and way too fast, he tells us. She's only looking out for herself, Jared tells Cirie, and will throw him under the bus. She wants to do an all woman thing, Cirie tells him. Cirie tells us she doesn't get a good feeling from Kirsten. That night, in the BBComicsverse BR, Felicia asks if Cirie talked to Jared. Cirie says he told her about Kirsten and a 5 person alliance with Matt and somebody. She's on the block, do your thing, Cirie tells Felicia, but... She's already gone behind our backs, Felicia observes, she doesn't trust us if she's doing a separate five. Felicia tells us Kirsten is trying to start a lot of alliances and I'm only in one, so it's putting a huge target on her back. Her paranoia makes others raise their eyebrows. It's time for the HoH competition, brought to you by the BBComicsverse Multiverse. The HG go to the BB House Basement. Jared, Kirsten, Felicia and Cory are already nominated and have to sit out. There are colored balance beams, each of a different width, leading from a start to the buzzer at the finish. Two swinging BAM! and POW! signs block the two approaches to the finish. This comp is called Crash Course in Comics. The winner is the fasted time and will have the superpower to remove 2 noms from the chopping block. Blue is the first to go to set the time to beat. The other competing HG have to head back to the stairwell to wait for their time to compete. She tries the narrow Red beam but quickly changes to the medium Yellow beam. She reaches the POW! sign and gets knocked off. She has to go back to the Starting Panel and go again. She gets knocked off her second attempt over Yellow and wisely chooses the wider Blue beam for her third attempt, with a time of 1:36.04. Cameron is next. He tells us he doesn't want to win in any multiverse. He picks the Yellow path to make it look like he's trying and gets knocked off by the POW!. He completes his second attempt with a time of 53.11. Red takes the Red path (naturally) and tries to duck under the POW! sign, but falls off, doing a back flip. He makes it the second time at 50.56, moving into first place. America is next, and takes the Yellow path, not wanting to win after winning her first comp so fast. She times out, leaving Red with the time to beat. Hisam is next, and considers using HoH to build trust with the noms he saves, but he likes all four noms so, why would he want to decide? He completes the Blue path in one attempt with a time of 22:49, taking the lead from Red. Bowie is next, but no freakin' way she wants to win, she tells us. She takes the Blue path but goes slow enough to time out. Reilly is next. She thinks winning HoH would be a bad-ass move and she's not afraid to make moves. Someone has to start the fire. Yellow looked fastest but on Blue, she could move more quickly. She gracefully skirts the BAM! sign and kills it with a time of 16.03. Izzy is unable to beat her time, nor can Cirie, Luke, Matt, Mecole and finally, Jag. Reilly is HoH! All her dreams are coming true, she tells us! Kirsten says talk about girl power, Reilly was like Wonder Woman. Hopefully because of Phalanx Five, she'll have her back. Felicia finds Jag and Reilly in the Scaryverse BR. Reilly tells us she hopes the two noms she takes down will want to work with her. Felicia tells us Reilly needs a target but it don't need to be me. She tells Reilly there is one person saying a lot of things about different groups. I don't like to spread rumors, but it's not a rumor. Kirsten. In the LR, Jared asks if Reilly is thinking about K. She nods yes. Jared promises to keep her safe when, not if, he wins a comp. If you bless me, he tells her, you got me in your corner. And Felicia and Cirie. Reilly sits down with Cirie in HoH, who confirms there is someone running around in the house. She hates to say it, but Kirsten is a loose cannon. She's targeting herself, Reilly agrees. She tells us there's one common denominator on everyone's radar. So the question is who the other nominee to save. Reilly tells Cirie she needs a pawn to stay on the block. She thinks Jared is a good person and asks what Cirie thinks. I feel his energy, Cirie agrees. She tells us targeting Kirsten is perfectly fine with me. Her main priority is getting Jared taken down. He's so respectful and mannerable, Cirie tells Reilly, glowingly. He's the kind of boy I'd tell my kids to hang out with. Cory congratulates Reilly in HoH. This is his first persuasive speaking mission, he tells us. He promises her she'll never be nominated if he wins HoH the rest of the season. What's good for your game, he says persuasively, is good for my game. Reilly says there may have to be a pawn situation. Cory expresses worry that if he is a pawn, he'll be at risk. She tells him he was dealt an unfair hand. It's BB, Cory shrugs. That could have been me, she replies. There is a lot riding on my decision, she tells us. I don't want you to feel like I'm guilting you, he tells her. I know you're fighting for your life, she assures him, I understand. It's time for nominations. Reilly gathers the HG who have been holed up in the Scaryverse, Humiliverse and Scrambleverse BRs. They gather around the Dining Room Table and Reilly brings out the Nominations Box. This week, her responsibility as HoH is to remove 2 nominees from the chopping block for now. However, with the Veto still in play, anything can happen. Reilly turns the first key and takes Jared off the chopping block. She turns the second key and Cory is removed from the Chopping Block. That leaves Felicia and Kirsten remaining nominated. She respects both of them and is dying to find out how badly they want to be in the BB House and how hard they will work to stay there. A tearful Kirsten says Reilly was not only her friend, but they were among the first grouped together in Phalanx Five. It's Day 3 and she nominated me for eviction without any warning or explanation. I feel betrayed. Cory tells us he started off getting pulled to the Nether Region, then he's on the block, it's not the start he imagined but no one saw his fear. For the first time, he can breath. Reilly says her target is Kirsten because of her pot stirring and scheming. That's not who I want to be aligned with. Cirie says gleefully she felt her face popped up on the screen when Reilly turned the key because it's her boy! This was the first step. Jared's off the block, we're in the house together, and depending on the Veto, we could be here another week. Felicia is devastated to be one of the first two noms on the block but it won't take me down. Game on, on eviction night, they will not say Bye Felicia. Who will win the first PoV of the season and will it be used to save either Kirsten or Felicia from eviction? Find out Wednesday on Big Brother!

1:58pm BBT Feeds return. HG mill around excitedly in the KT and LR. Blue hurt her elbow during the comp. Reilly is wearing the HoH key around her neck. Felicia tells her power to the girls!

10:30pm BBT Kirsten is thinking about having her bathing suits manufactured overseas. People there need jobs too. Felicia was in the Air Force for over 25 years. Matt apparently did not do well in the World Trials. You lose some you win some, he says. Cameron's father retired and now coaches football. 10:35pm BBT Hisam tells Matt he had a tumor that caused him to go deaf. He had surgery and it messed up his hearing. At the nursing home where he works, he can't hear background noise. The tumor was benign and could not be completely removed. He maintains his cover that he's a nursing assistant, helping dress old people. Matt says his grandma had a stroke and now lives in a nursing home. Hisam says he helps people walk down the hall, go to the bathroom, feeds them. 10:40pm BBT Matt has to tape over his Deaf Olympics tatoo because it's a copyright. Cameron was in the National Guaard. His wife was in the ASir Force. Jag explains to Luke and Matt how the live feeds work. They follow the conversation, he says. Luke doesn't like seeing himself on TV - he avoided looking at the studio monitors before they entered the house. 10:55pm BBT Red can burp on command. Cameron says he's never burped. The Comic BR is the "chill room" he says. He talks about his daughter who will be turning 8 soon and starting 3rd grade. He pre-wrote notes to her so she won't miss him. Felicia says she used to talk to her son every night. Even in the military, she checked on him and her husband. Jared says he's never heard of 4 HG being on the block at the same time. 11:10pm BBT Mecole and Hisam talk about Red's social media following (600k). Red had a video go viral. He makes videos to entertain people. The HG have decided Have Nots - Luke, Hisam, Jared and Cory. The HNR looks like barraks in a medical asylum. The "windows" are covered with hands trying to get out (or get in). 11:20pm BBT Jared tells Red and Hisam this is the honeymon phase in the house. Build trust and raport, Hisam agrees. Jared says some are already playing hard. Let them, says Red. Jared is used to competing. It's hard to control how he feels about being nominated. Luke tells Cory that he dropped out of the University of Florida. His dad was surprised he ever got in. They think Hisam is playing too hard to early. 11:30pm BBT Kirsten asks Jared who Cory is? The neverland guy, he responds. She thinks Luke is ignoring her. She tells Jared their convo is real. Jared says how she feels about Luke, he feels about Bowie. Kirsten tells him he has to force himself to meet everyone. 11:35pm BBT In the Hot Dog & Cheese BR, Cory is fanboying to Cirie. She enjoys talking about her Survivor expperience. Cory is playing up on being the youngest in the house. That's so cute, Cirie says.

Cirie Fields was born and raised in Jersey City, New Jersey with her sisters Karla, Cicely, and brother Kenneth. She attended St. Francis Nursing School in New Castle, Pennsylvania, where she obtained her nursing degree. She currently works as the clinical coordinator for Norwalk Hospitals Operating Room. Her previous occupations include surgical technician, home health aid, working at a candy factory and telemarketing. Fields' proudest accomplishment was becoming a nurse. Her mother is her hero because she has overcome many adversities and managed to raise six kids with nothing and taught them many life skills. Fields loves to swim. Her favorite sports include running and working with a personal trainer. She loves amusement park rides and watching television. She describes herself as funny, charismatic and compassionate. She believes she will be a useful member of the tribe because she is very strong. Fields' skills include the ability to fish, cook and do some carpentry. She believes she will be the Ultimate Survivor because people love her cute, smiling personality. Her primary motivation for being on the show is to win and to change her family's life. She is proud of the fact that she was disciplined enough to lose 30 pounds once she learned she would be a castaway on SURVIVOR: MICRONESIA. Fields currently resides in Norwalk, Connecticut. She is married to Clarencio and has three sons (John, Jamie and Jared) from a previous marriage. They have one dog, Sam. Her birth date is July 18, 1970.

9:36pm BBT The HG are gathered in the KT or Gym, getting to know each other. Cory is in the KT, so his time in the Nether Region was apparently limited. He hasn't talked much about what happened. 9:45pm BBT In the Gym, Matt talks with Kirsten about his hearing. With all the HG in the KT, he has a hard time following conversations. He apparently has an implant, so he is not dependent on lip reading, but crowds and heavy cross-talk makes it hard for him to focus. Red is telling stories from his farm. There are only 10k residents in Gaitlinburg but 14m tourists. 10:00pm BBT Red, Jag and Reilly are sharing an interest in juggling. Blue had the first DR session of the season. Reilly claims to be "officially" 21 (she's 25, since today is her birthday). Hisam holds court with his stories about doing burlesque - it was from his interest in the circus. 10:15pm BBT Izzy explains neuroscience to Hisam. She's lucky she can play the flute, she says. Cory and Jag share their life stories. Blue and Jared share tatoo stories. Some of his cover up other tatoos, and some of hers are only visible in black light. Izzy & Mecole bond in the BR. They start talking about Cameron being a serial killer but Felicia and Cirie come in and talk stops. 10:25pm In the WA, Cirie shares Survivor stories with Felicia and Cameron. Cameron learns Felicia was a cop in the Air Force. In the Comic BR, Bowie Jane puts away clothes while Red, Izzy, Kirsten and Mecole share stories.

Tonight, we celebrate the launch of the 25th Anniversary Season of Big Brother. That's 855 episodes filled with twists and turns, outlandish competitions, and unrelenting competitors. And believe me when I say, for this milestone season, Big Brother is holding nothing back. Welcome to the live Season Premier of Big Brother! It's a house like no other, where 94 cameras follow your every move, and 113 microphones capture your every word. This is the BB House! And for 24 seasons, 304 competitors have entered this house with one goal in mind - to be the last one standing. Over the years, we've witnessed sizzling showmances, outrageous escapades, over the top drama, and legendary game play. Tonight, 16 complete strangers enter this house to try to make their mark on BB History. Totally cut off from the outside world, they compete for safety and power. Each week, they'll vote to evict one of their own, until only one HG remains to claim the $750k Grand Prize. What does the BB Universe have in store? Get ready for the most unpredictable season ever! It all starts right now, on Big Brother 25! Good evening, I'm Julie Chen Moonves. Welcome to the live season premier of BB25. For years, we've all been flies on the walls of the BB House as more than 300 people from across the country have competed in the ultimate social experiment, while navigating unimaginable twists and turns. Now, 16 more will join their ranks in the battle for the $750k grand prize, and tonight, in this historic 100 day season, the BB Universe will be turned upside-down in what promises to be the most challenging one yet. Because what nobody knows is just because there are 16 HG moving in, doesn't mean there won't be more. But first, the season can't truly begin until we meet the HG. Here are the first 8. We get clips of the first 8 HG receiving their keys. Blue is a brand strategist from New York. She always wanted to fit in but now she just wants to stand out and shine. Her parents emigrated from South Korea for her to have a better life. She's single and is open to a showmance or love triangle. She can get along with everyone. Welcome to Gatlinburg, TN! Red is from the Smokey Mountains and spits out folk sayings faster than a bear downs moonshine. Family is everything and winning BB would give his financial stability. He's more a Chillbilly, a cross between a hippie and a hillbilly. He's been in the military and experienced all types of people from all different cultures and that may give him an advantage. Don't underestimate him as plain and simple. Jared is an exterminator from Norwalk, CT who also coaches basketball to give back to the community. His mother is Cirie Fields, 4-time Survivor, best player to never win. She was his mom and dad. Staying out of a showmance is not going to be easy but he has to focus on the goal. He doesn't plan to tell the other HG about his mom because they may transfer what they know of her competitiveness to him. You weren't able to do it, he tells her, that's what you got me for. Mecole is a political consultant from Washington, DC. She graduated HS at 16 and had her bachelor's by 20, and helping draft federal policy by 22. She's worked on six bills that were signed into law, ensuring 3 million students had access to healthy school meals. She just got married a month ago and has never spent this much time away from her husband. A huge BB fan, her life has led to this experience, she won't lay low. Matt is a pro swimmer from Baton Rouge, LA, training for the 2024 Olympics. His idol is Ryan Lochte, who he beat in the 100m backstroke in 2019. He's a 10x Deafolympics Gold Medalist and 5x Deaf World Record holder. He was born deaf and took 14 years of speech therapy to learn how to talk. He wants to be a role model for the deaf community. He knows how to lip read, is single and ready for a showmance, and has overcome challenges all his life. Izzy is a New Yorker, born and raised, one of the best flute players in the city with a Masters in Flute Performance from the Yale School of Music. Flute is very competitive. She's fully taken, living with her partner, Paige, for the last 4 years. She gets queerer, prouder and stronger every day and will bring that energy into the BB House. She's a big BB Fan and of Kaycee, the first lesbian winner. Jag is 25 from Omak. His family was the first Sikh family to live there, and he faced challenges from those who didn't understand what wearing a turban meant. He is the first Sikh HG on BB. He wants to come off as a wild, outgoing, air-headed guy but he pursued 3 majors in college. For $750k, he can throw his world out the window and stab someone in the back if he needs to. Reilly is a 24yr old bartender from Nashville, TN who can talk with her mouth closed. Super outgoing, she's been underestimated as someone who's had an easy life. She lost her dad to cancer when she was 14, and ever since she's been seizing life. She's not looking, but she wouldn't mind glancing at a tall, brunette, muscular man. She'll wreak havoc, do whatever she has to do, to beat everyone and get to the end. The first 8 are lined up in the studio outside the BB House. Hello, HG. Everyone excited? Anyone nervous? Well, there's no turning back, so settle in. Who wants to know this season's twist? Unfortunately, I cannot tell you anything until the rest of your Housemates are here, so I need you to sit tight. You've gotten to know the first 8 HG and I'll introduce you to the rest after we return. Plus, I'll blow the HG minds with the most unexpected twist in BB History. Welcome back to the live season premier of BB25. You've met 8 of the HG who will be battling it out for the $750k grand prize. So, who will be joining them? It's time to find out. Luke is from Coral Springs, FL, who stays fit with weight lifting and yoga. He's obsessed with eating well. He's not a dumb jock but a nerd, a starving global digital artist. People underestimate him as an airhead, he's open to a showmance and has the hunger to win at all costs. Felicia sells real estate in Atlanta, GA. At 63, the other HG may just see her as an older person, but she entered the Air Force at 22 and learned how to project her presence. She got her Bachelor's Degree at 45 and a Masters at 55. Age is just a number. She has been watching BB since 2000 and is a super fan. Hisam from Seattle, WA is a medical and psychological geriatric doctor by day, and a cabaret and burlesque performer by night. He's a confident gay Arab Muslim who loves life and wants to explore all its possibilities. In the house, he's going to pass himself off as a nursing assistant. Cory is a student at Vanderbilt University studying political science and communication, with an eye towards law school. A self-described public speaking wiz, he's a 2x national champion at persuasive speaking, and BB is all about speaking persuasively. A first degree black belt, he's more physical than he looks. A super fan, lying is a necessary evil in the BB House, and you won't get far with your moral codes. Bowie Jane is from Los Angeles by way of Melbourne, Australia. She's a criminal trial attorney specializing in money laundering and tax fraud with a pretty good BS meter. By night, she DJs to massive audiences and also plays competitive tennis. America is a 27yr old receptionist for a dermatologist. She's a first generation American who learned English listening to Shania Twain. Growing up, there were 8 in the family sharing one bathroom. She wanted to repay her parents by excelling and graduated Brown with a degree in biology. She thinks she'll be underestimated as a pretty face, but she's a BB Super Fan and learned from an early age to be resilient and cutthroat in the BB house. Cameron is a 34 year old space cowboy from Eastman, Georgia. He calls himself that because nothing else really fits. He likes tie dye, riding horses and things that go boom. He went from rodeos as a teenager to the US Army and went to Afghanistan. His hair is named Bertha, and she's thicker than BBQ sauce. She makes him look like a goofy idiot but it hides much more. His 7yr old daughter is probably the only thing he's done correctly in life. He's seen every BB Episode and has no problem stabbing someone in the back or lying to their face. That's the game when the money's on the line. Kirsten is a 25yr old molecular biologist and founder of an active swimwear company. Originally from the Caribbean island of Dominica, she's now in Houston, TX. She went to college at 17 and her cancer research has led to a cancer vaccine. She's a baddie with brains, super athletic and adaptable to any situation. She thinks BB needs a woman's alliance and thinks $750k is worth more than a super hot guy, but if she can have both, she'll try. All sixteen HG are now in the studio outside the BB House. Hello, HG. Welcome to the 25th season of BB. Pretty exciting. Some of you have watched every season of the show, while others weren't even born when the show began. But you are all here because you each think you have what it takes to conquer the mental, physical and social challenge that BB is. And if you plan on winning the $750k Grand Prize, you're going to have to survive the BB House longer than anyone has in the history of this game, a whopping 100 days cut off from the outside world. So, who's ready to hear this season's big twist? There was a break-in in the BB House just a few nights ago, and the BB Universe that you think you know has completely changed. More details after this break. When we return, 3 BB Legends make an unexpected return with game-changing consequence. Welcome back to the live season premier of Big Brother 25. I promise you will all be moving into the house shortly, but first, I have to give you some very important, if not unsettling news. As you know, our motto is Expect The Unexpected, and this season, that saying could not be more true. Just days ago in the early morning hours, perpetrators broke into the BB House. Luckily, our cameras caught them in the act. Take a look, because they may be familiar to you. A video shows Britney, Frankie and Danielle Reyes breaking into the BB House with a Time Laser, with which they will go back to their seasons so they can rewrite history and take back the victories they so deserved. Bye Bye, Brigade, says Britney. The Hitmen are toast, says Frankie, I'm going to expose Derrick's undercover secret! I'm going to put some sugar in that bitter jury, promises Danielle. And I will not lose my dignity on a slippery wiener, Britney exclaims. Initiate Final Check. The Time Laser is activated but something goes wrong, and the entire house is affected by the malfunctioning Time Laser. What have we done? This is not good. Danielle realizes the Time Laser came from Meow Meow Enterprises and the three interlopers run for their lives, leaving the Time Laser doing unknown damage to the BB House. BB Legends Britney, Danielle and Frankie broke into the BB House, and hoping to go back in time and win their seasons, activated the Time Laser. Unfortunately, things went horribly wrong, and now the Big Brother Multiverse has cracked open. What this means for you is not only did they change the house, but they changed the game, creating the most unpredictable season of BB ever. A lot still remains a mystery but here's what we do know. Four Universes have taken over the BB game: BB Comicverse, the Humiliverse, the Scaryverse, and the Scrambleverse. At any time this season, these multi-verses can twist up the game. Let that sink in. When we return, it's time for the HG to move in and compete in the challenges created by the BB Multiverse. Welcome back to the live season premier of BB25. HG, in just moments, you will move into the BB House in groups of 4. Once inside, head to the BY where you will find 4 competitions, one from each of the BB Universes, the BB Comicverse, the Humiliverse, the Scaryverse and the Scrambleverse. Each HG in your move-in group must claim a spot in a different competition. Are you ready to play BB? The first move-in group is Felicia, Red, America and Matt. You'll be choosing a spot on the pink mats in each competition. The game awaits, go on into the house. After quick introductions, the HG walk through the BB Universe portal to find a BY that is split between multiverses. On the ground are images of news stories that never happened, such as Kaysar winning BB All-Stars - Twice, or BB sweeping the Emmy's, the Renegades being evicted, Michael being labeled as a Comp Loser for losing every comp, HG Nashville and Halloween getting married, and Kaycee trademarking "Let's Go" and becoming a billionaire. On the balcony, there are two comp areas, one a set of booths with something resembling a scientific machine, and the other some kind of exercise contraption. Downstairs, there are empty bins on one side and completed puzzles of news mag covers on the other, and a dark and foreboding stage. The first four HG go to the Pink spots for their respective competitions. The next group is Cory, Blue, Jared and Izzy. They are choosing a spot on the Green mats. Have fun in there, the house is yours. Jared holds the door open for the ladies. They are so excited to be in the house they almost forget to introduce themselves to each other. They come through the multiverse portal and each heads to their competitions, greeting the first group HG already there. The third group is Kirsten, Luke, Bowie Jane and Jag. They will choose a spot on the yellow mats and may head in. Luke holds the door open for the others. They do quick introductions and hugs, and check out some cakes on the KT Counter before porting into the BB Multiverse, selecting their competitions. Izzy tells us she's not going to reveal to her fellow HG about being a lawyer, and will pretend to be 10 years younger than she actually is. The last group to enter the BB House are Hisam, Mecole, Cameron and Reilly, who will be choosing spots on the blue mats. None of the HG take the few minutes they have in the house to form an entry alliance but head straight to the BY for the competition. Reilly reveals to us it is her birthday. HG, it looks like everyone is in place. We'll begin the first competition of the night in just a few minutes. The HG are ready to compete, and it looks like the Scrambleverse is about to twist up Premier Night. What's in store for the HG? Stay with us! Welcome back to the live season premier of BB. Tonight, the BB Multiverse has cracked open and is about to wreak havoc with the first competition. Let's head to the BY to get things started. HG, it is time to begin the first competition of the summer. But, before we can begin, you need to know that the Scrambleverse has just changed the game. Normally on premier Night, you're battling for safety, hoping to become the first HoH of the season. But tonight, the game has been scrambled and you are not competing to become HoH. Instead, this is a Nomination competition. The loser of each of these four competitions will be nominated for eviction and could be the first to leave the BB House. That means, for the first time ever, nominees will be named before the HoH is even crowned. Needless to say, there is a lot at stake tonight and it's time to begin. We start with a competition from the Scrambleverse. America, Jared, Bowie Jane and Mecole, welcome to the Scrambleverse Newsroom. This competition is called Puzzling Headlines, and nothing is the same as in our world. The headlines are different than in our universe, and these puzzles are already completed. Your job is to disassemble your completed puzzle and place the pieces into the box they came from where they fit perfectly. The last player to accomplish this task will become the first nominee of the night. On your mark, get set, go! The four HG break down their puzzles and carry the pieces across the BY to their boxes where they must pack them inside the container. They key is to not be last, otherwise, you'll be nominated tonight. All four try to figure out how the pieces fit perfectly into their box. America is the first to complete the challenge, well ahead of the others. Jared seems like he's made progress, but Bowie Jane is the second to complete the puzzle. Jared has to take all his pieces out, while Mecole figures out her puzzle and comes in 3rd. Jared is last and the first HG nominated for eviction. Up next, it is a competition from the Humiliverse where the HG will have to kick some but to earn safety. Stay with us! Welcome back to the live season premier of BB. Just moments ago, Jared lost the first comp of the summer and automatically became a nominee for eviction. Who will join him? Let's return to the BY. HG, we move from the Scrambleverse to the Humiliverse. Matt, Blue, Kirsten and Hisam, this competition is called Kicking Butt. You will move the bar in front of you back and forth, causing the giant boot behind you to, you guessed it, kick you in the butt. Each time your boot hits its mark, your counter will go up by one. The last HG to be kicked in the butt 100 times will become the next nominee for eviction. The competition starts and Matt and Hisam are neck and neck in the lead, with Blue and Kirsten trailing just a few kicks behind. The boot doesn't actually connect with the HG. The guys cross the half-way mark, followed by Blue, with Kirsten trailing. Matt pulls away from Hisam and is the first to reach 100. Hisam is second, and Blue is third, leaving Kirsten as the second nominee for eviction. Up next, the BB Comicverse takes center stage, and things could get messy. The BB Multiverse has shaken up the game, but the biggest surprise is yet to come. Stay with us! Welcome back to the live season premier of BB. Jared and Kirsten have already lost their BB Multiverse competitions and find themselves nominated for eviction. So, who will be joining them on the chopping block? Let's return to the BY and find out. HG, this next competition is from the BB Comicverse, where Felicia, Izzy, Jag and Cameron will face super villain Dr. Goo. This competition is called Goo-Pocalypse. Dr. Goo has been unleashing Goo Bombs across the BB Comicverse, and now our world needs your help. In front of you is one of Dr. Goo's notorious Goo Bombs. Your job is to connect 4 different length wires from the table to the Goo Bomb. There is only one solution to make all the wires fit. If you are unable to activate your Goo Bomb, you must try again. If your Goo Bomb explodes, you will not only be saving humanity, you will also save yourself from nomination tonight. The last HG to detonate their Goo Bomb will be the third nominee for eviction. On your mark, get set, go! The HG scramble madly to connect their wires from the table to the Goo Bomb. Jag is the first to test his Goo Bomb and is doused in yellow Goo. Izzy is doused in green Goo, quickly followed by Cameron in blue, leaving Felicia the odd HG out, the third nominee for eviction. Felicia, Jared and Kirsten are all officially nominees. That leaves the last competition from the Scaryverse, where the consequences of losing are more frightening than any other competition tonight. Welcome back to the BB. It's now time to find out who will be joining Jared, Kirsten and Felicia on the chopping block. This competition is from the Scaryverse. HG, it is time for the 4th and final competition of the night. This competition is called Hold On Fright. Reilly, Luke, Cory and Red are laying prostrate on the Scaryverse platform, with an army of monster hands grabbing their legs. They must hold onto small handles in front of them to keep the hands from pulling them into the abyss. This competition is a little different. All you have to do is hold on to dear life, because whomever is dragged away first will not only become the fourth nominee, but they will also disappear into the Nether Region. How long will they be gone? Only the Scaryverse knows. Then get ready, and hold on, because this competition starts now. On the surface it doesn't look like the HG are straining but the monster hands steadily increase their pull on the HG's legs. Don't let go, you do not want to be the first dragged away. You will not only be the fourth nominee of the night, but you will disappear into the Nether Region for who knows how long. Cory appears to be solid, as is Red and Reilly. Julie Chen Moonves says they are all looking strong, it's like four statues. But Reilly has to adjust her fingers and Luke's right hand slips off his rock, leaving him holding on by his left. Red is solid, his bushy beard seemingly creating additional drag to prevent the monster hand from pulling him into the Nether Region. Luke's arms look strained to the max as the other HG offer words of support. Reilly has to flex her fingers as the monster hand pulls at her legs. Red and Cory are solid as Luke struggles, depending on his left arm for survival. This is one fierce group, Julie Chen Moonves says. Reilly, Red and Cory look solid. Luke's right fingers are barely touching their rock, while the right hand firmly grasps its rock. There are microphones in front of each HG but none are talking. You make this look easy, Julie Chen Moonves taunts. Luke removes his right hand completely and flexes his fingers, but is held in place by his left. And just like that, Cory loses his grip and the monster arm quickly drags him behind the veil to the Nether Region. I'm dead, he cries, as he slips into oblivion, becoming the fourth nominee tonight. When he will return is anyone's guess. HG, needless to say, this has been a crazy night. Unfortunately, for four of you, your games are now on the line. Jared, Kirsten and Felicia are all nominated for eviction, and so has Cory, who has just disappeared into the Nether Region. HG, I need you all to be prepared for everything, because what the BB Multiverse has in store for you is far from over. Up next, the Scrambleverse isn't done yet. Can the HG survive the biggest surprise of the night? Inside the house, a strange woman is slicing one of the cakes on the KT counter. Welcome back to the live season premier of BB. On Sunday, we crown the first HoH of the season. What will their power be now that there are already four nominees? Plus, find out just what happened to Cory. Then on Wednesday, The PoV plays out and has the ability to save one nominee. Who will win and will they use it? Then on Thursday, it's the first Live Vote and Eviction of the season. Who will claim the dubious title of first sent home? To continue watching all the drama, go to Paramount+ a(https://mortystv.com/to/feeds) or Pulo.TV/BBLF. For now, let's return to the BY to see what the Scrambleverse has in mind for the HG now. HG, please feel free to head inside and make yourself at home. Inside, the strange woman is revealed to be Cirie from Survivor (and mother of Jared), pouring blue champagne into a glass. Hello, she says as the HG enter, led by Jared, who does not show any recognition. While the other HG gather around and introduce themselves to Cirie, he talks with Izzy on the side, paying his mother no never mind. So, the Scrambleverse is at it again. For the first time ever, a Survivor Legend will be playing Big Brother. That's right, Cirie will be the 17th HG battling for the $750k Grand Prize. How will her connection to one of the other HG play out? Find out Sunday. For now, let's eavesdrop on the HG. From outside the BB House, I'm Julie Chen Moonves. Love one another and Good Night.

Hi, mystery fans, Becky the Beaver here, back with my initial review of the Season 11 Houseguests. This is based on the first two broadcast episodes and some of the video posted to the BBCan website. Since we do not have full live feeds, I am limited in my ability to really get to know the Houseguests this season. Hope - This guy must have a sugar water IV installed because he's always dancing and moving around. His smile is infectious but being that energetic can quickly become annoying. His awkward attempt at game talk with Santina cringeworthy, so he had better hope that social game works for him. He's the kind of guy everyone will hate to see go but won't mind voting out. Amal - Who? She was gone before we really got a chance to get to know her, but give credit to Big Brother for keeping the reasons confidential. Of course, if we had live feeds, we might have seen what, if anything, that had led up to her departure, but for all the expressions of support, she's persona non-grata in the Big Brother family now. Her departure gives the guys a 8-7 advantage, but with Santina in charge, that may not last long. Claudia - She's perky, she's blond, and she thinks she's more clever than she is. Her attempts at subtle interrogation were ammuzingly unsuccessful, but she never gives up, futiliy trying out multiple angles. She thinks she has a poker face but she has a frozen smile when she isn't getting the tea she wants. She's a fan favorite, though, so it will be interesting to see whether anyone in the house will really trust her. Santina - Don't get in this Houseguest's way, as John Michael found out. She wanted to be the first HoH and pushed John Michael to win the first comp, then rolled over him in the second. She has shown she can see through motives, which is a key characteristic to have in the Big Brother House. But she also presents a nice personality, so she will probably get through her HoH unscarred. But it remains to be seen whether she will be able to turn Houseguests telling her what she wants to hear into long term relationships in the game. Shanaya - There are two things you want to avoid in the first few days in the Big Brother House - come out playing too hard, and being seen as the easy pawn. By badly losing the first comp, Shanaya and Renee both set themselves up to be the default pawn. Of course, this is Big Brother Canada, so she could also garner her fello Houseguests' sympathy. But it is hard to establish those critical initial bonds in the house when your back is up agains the wall. It will be fun watching to see what she has to offer in an alliance. Daniel - Every season we get a Houseguest that is just happy to be there and for Season 11, Daniel fills that role. It will be interesting to see how he handles the Big Brother Manor after the initial excitement rolls off. Will his first week as a Have Not wear done some of that shine or can he turn enthusiasm into alliances? I am skeptical. Jonathan - Charm can take you a long way in the Big Brother Canada Manor, and he is oozing it, attracting attention and trust from both the men and women in the house. He comes off as a trustworthy bro, and that should serve him well as he navigates the inevitable multiple alliances in which he is likely to find himself. Consider him one to watch this season. Roberto - Like Jonathan, Rob fits in easily with the guys and the women in the house feel comfortable with him as well. He comes across as empathetic and intelligent and that give him the opportunity to influence his alliances. He'll have to navigate this leadership role carefully, however, so that he isn't perceived as too favored by a future jury. Vanessa - Strong, fun, even intimidating. Vanessa is the oldest Houseguest determined to be prove that age is not a limitation. While she will be friends with everyone, I'm not sure how secure she will be in her alliances. She may have to some depend on timely comp wins to carry herself deep into the season. Ty - One of the Bros, he quickly has become aligned with the other guys in the house, but if the cadre of capable women, or John Michael, control the house, he could quickly be targeted as a physical threat and his game put on the defensive. On the other hand, if the guys rebound in week two, they legitimately could go on a run that carries him far into the game. Renee - It is hard to imagine anyone having a worst start to their Big Brother game than Renee. She earned her Dead Last designation with feable performances, but I doubt her fellow Houseguests will evict her because of it as she is likeable and non-threatening gamewise. But it is always easier to nominate someone who has already been nominated, and it it doesn't take much for Dead Last to become Permanent Pawn. Kuzi - Kuzivakwashe wants to be the the villain this season, but it remains to be seen if she is up to the challenge. My guess is that unless she can reign in her intense personality, of the women in the BBCAN Manor, she'll be a lightning rod for her guys-be-gone strategy. On the other hand, if she can get into some protective alliances and stay under the radar, she just may have a chance. Anika - If Anika's plan was to ride through the middle and try to not be noticed, she was doing great up until nominations. One of Santina's nominees, she has to scramble to secure the votes to stay. If the Bros stick together to protect Dan, then the vote could be split between Anika and Renee. Her survival may depend on who the guys are more comfortable with keeping. Zach - The ultimate man's man, his confidence is matched only by the amount of product in his hair. Smooth, suave, he was quick to build up his Bro connections and his fellow Houseguests will let him think he's controlling the shots but the reality is they are happy to use his upfront personality as a shield. It remains to be seen whether his braggadacio can be turned into bad-assedness in the game. John Michael - He didn't want to be HoH, but he let Santina talk him into trying to win the comp, and then he spilled the tea on his targets before losing the final battle. For someone who paints himself as game-smart, he's playing a particularly poor game. Before you upset the guys, you had better make sure the ladies have your back. And with his affinity for yellow, it will be easy for the rest of the house to see the target on his back. Dan - A likable enough guy but the game has him a bit on his heels. He's not as aggressive in terms of socializing or scheming as the other Bros and he has not formed relationships with the women of the house. As a nominee, this leaves him exposed and at risk. If he doesn't get the Bro's vote, the ladies could unite to even up the gender odds and give Dan the ignominious distinction of Season 11's first evicted Houseguest. What do you think? Did I get it right or do you think I chewed on some rotten wood?

The Becky Beaver Mystery Science Blog Well, Canada, the Houseguests are in the BB Canada Mystery Manor and means it is time for me to come out of hibernation for another season of Big Brother Canada. My name is Becky Beaver, and in this space, I'm going to break though the ice and chew some wood from the Big Brother Canada Season 11 house. Let's start by talking about the theme for this season - the Big Brother Canada Manor Mystery. Arissa stopped short of calling it a murder mystery, which I think is a missed opportunity. It would have been fun to see the Houseguests go all Knives Out on each other, and weekly evictions replaced with weekly executions. The last surviving Houseguest is the murderer. Instead, we'll probably just get the same weak twists with puzzles and powers and competitions perpetuating the illusion of suspense and intrigue. After all, Big Brother Canada is not exactly a big budget production. Still, we can only hope that this season's theme will keep the Houseguests on edge, at each others' throats and us thoroughly entertained. Which brings me to the elephant in the Manor - the lack of live feeds this season. The attraction of Big Brother for me, what set it apart from every other reality competition show, was the live feeds. It allowed feeders to get closer to the Houseguests, and in many cases, to become attached to our favorite Houseguests, even when they are villains. On top of that, Big Brother has clustered the broadcast episodes into three consecutive nights, which leaves four whole days when fans are thinking about the Stanley Cup playoffs instead of Big Brother. Instead, we have the Digital Dailies, 2 and 1/2 hour abridged feeds recorded the day before. Now it could be argued that as much FotH that had to be endured watching the live feeds, there was also a rush when the feeds came back to figure out what was missed. Who won HoH? Who was nominated? Who is playing for Veto? Who won Veto and did they use it? These are important questions and Live Feed watchers expect to have that information long before he edited episodes air on Global TV. If they thought live feed watchers would be more excited to wait until the episode reveals, they misjudged feeders. There are two types of Big Brother fans, and Big Brother gave one of them a big unCanadian finger.

Episode 2 Previously on Big Brother Canada, when 16 Houseguests from across Canada stepped into the Big Brother Manor, who'd win it of winning of who done it was off and running. With a Moody manor teasing its terrible secrets, this cast of unusual suspects came armed and dangerous. There's Renee, a loopy law student ready to play Clueless. Ty the Hard Body Art gaming personal trainer. John Michael, a big time Superfan with the skills to bring the thrills. And Santina, the alluring aesthetician with thick skin with a soft touch. Then, Big Brother put another diabolical spin on the parlor games, the Dead Last twist, and force the Houseguests to pick their poison pair. At the first competition of the season, everyone was on the hedge of their seats as they played to avoid being the bottom 2. While some got caught in Big Brother's deadly web, Santina and John Michael clinched their chance to face off for the HoH crown. Tonight, who will claim the season's first Head of Household? Who will end up being dead last? It's mayhem at the manor on Big Brother Canada. With Santina and John Michael having solved their puzzle first, the remaining pairs of Houseguests are competing to not come in last, Jonathan explains, and one of the two who come in last will be on the block. He and Hope try to figure out what an envelope looks like. Just keep calm, Jonathan tells Hope. Ty and Rob can't figure out how their pieces fit together to form a whole puzzle, not realizing they have a piece on the ground. Ty and Hope solve their puzzle and ask for a check. They have it! They face off, slapping hands in a bro dance. Jonathan & Roberto and Daniel & Anika are working on their puzzles, while the remaining 4 pairs of Houseguests are still stuck in Big Brother's vine web. Jonathan finds the trick to sliding Claudia through the hole in the bottom of their net and they join the puzzlers. Claudia says she's good at puzzles and thinks they can make up time. Jonathan thinks the brown lines don't matter but Claudia thinks they should line up. She second guesses herself in light of Jonathan's confidence. Amal and Kuzie figure out if they can get one foot through, the rest of the body will follow and they are successful, moving on to the puzzle. We're in trouble, Ty and Rob say, as two more teams reach their puzzle table. Are we missing a piece, Rob asks? Ty looks and finds it on the floor. They quickly solve their puzzle in 3rd place, not dead last. Vanessa spins Rob in the net and it untwists long enough for him to squeeze through. Daniel and Anika are the 4th to solve their puzzle and seal their spot in the middle of the pack. Renee and Shanaya are the last team stuck in the web. They were the first to get their puzzle pieces, Shanaya reminds us, but now they are snared and have lost their lead entirely. Claudia says she can't figure out where the red thing (the seal) goes. She's so discouraged. Jonathan says it's OK, they got this. The Houseguests on the bench cheer as Renee and Shanaya finally free themselves from Big Brother's twisted snare and move on to their puzzle. Now the pressure is on to avoid coming in dead last. Vanessa and Rob solve their puzzle, leaving just Renee & Shanaya and Jonathan & Claudia. Jonathan says he's trying to not freak out as Claudia struggles with the puzzle. Renee and Shanaya get the corner pieces. Claudia shuffles her pieces, finding pairs that fit together. They get on a roll and have just two open spots but only one piece left. Are we missing one, Jonathan asks? Yes, it's on the ground. Claudia rushes to pick it up and Jonathan slides it into place to complete the puzzle in 7th, leaving Renee and Shanaya fated to compete for the dishonor of coming in Dead Last. Shanaya tells us she feels embarrassed, sad and anxious but she's trying to take it one step at a time and not spiral in anxiety and despair. In the Flamingo BR, Kuzie tells her to not be stressed. Her story isn't written yet, Ty tells her. Renee enters and gives Shanaya a knowing look. Week one, day one, and look where I am, she tells us, at the bottom. Ty tells them there's a lot of people in the house who deserve to go before them. He says John Michael and Santina are a powerhouse. Renee and Shanaya readily agree. Ty leaves and Shanaya shares that even if neither of them goes home this week, coming in last just puts a target on their backs. Renee tells us it is deflating but she has to keep pushing through. As they come downstairs, Roberto congratulates Santina. I had to keep myself safe, she says, there's some shady-ass people over here. She tells us she doesn't know how to feel because she doesn't know how the house feels about her. Rob wants to know more about who's shady. Just a vibe, she walks back. John Michael says he may be HoH, so it's time to start sussing out what's going on behind closed doors. Behind the closed door of the library, Zach and Rob are playing pool, but there's too many balls, an extra 8-ball. Out of the blue, Rob tells Zach he likes him a lot. Yeah? Thanks, responds Zach. They bro-hug and promise to be Boys. I like you guys vibe, says John Michael, who has been inconspicuous sitting in the comer. That's the idea, Rob says, if you walk into a room and everyone stops talking, that's the problem. Zach tells us he wanted to be the star of the show, but John Michael is clearly the best at understanding Big Brother. They congratulate John Michael for winning the challenge. What a feeling that must be, they tell him. He's all jittery, John Michael gushes, the hardest part was he couldn't do it all and had to depend on Santina. Santina walks in on Hope who is alone in the Storeroom. He dances when he sees her and says she scared him. He makes a hulk-motion and says she scared him. She laughs. His voice drops and says he just wants to chill this week. We are, she says. I am not, he says. You are, she assures him. Hope tells us Santina is indicating a possible alliance and it feels good, I'm not gonna lie. I'll take care of you, he tells her, you take care of me. I'll take care of you, she says as they side-five each other. Back in the Library, Zach is playing pool with Jonathan. It's all social, they agree. Zach tells us he knows exactly the type of people he wants to work with, and it's too early to solidify things, but he instantly felt close to Ty, Rob and Jonathan. Zach tells Rob and Jonathan he thinks some of the girls have watched every episode. Rob agrees. I'm in it with you guys, Jonathan says and they three-fist bump. Rob wants a nickname for their alliance. If we stay consistent to our game, Zach says, and to each other, we'll go far. In the Flamingo BR, Ty tells Kuzie he's grateful she didn't come in last as they firm up a 2-person alliance. Kuzie tells us that as soon as she saw Ty looking all yum yum, she had a good feeling so they are talking game, but in terms of decisions, this game belongs to her. He's going to keep close to Renee and Shanaya and where their heads are at. Kuzie agrees without committing to a plan of her own. It's the morning of Day 2 in the Big Brother Canada Manor and the Houseguest waken to find painted portraits of themselves on the balcony wall. Daniel can already tell he doesn't like his. John Michael loves his. He's so hot, they agree, looking at Rob's portrait. The paintings are of the Houseguests in Victorian clothing, airbrushed to perfection. John Michael tells Zach his picture has piercing blue eyes. Zach tells us when he saw his portrait it finally hit him, he's in Big Brother. The Houseguests slowly emerge from the bedrooms to see their portraits. Is that me, Renee asks? In the Diary Room, she takes a moment to scream. In the Flamingo BR, Rob tells Shanaya he's just trying to be cool with everyone, create those connections that help you get through week one. She tells us that Rob is the hottest guy in the house. He's gorgeous and I have a bit of a crush. She gets flustered just thinking about him. She tells him she's nervous she's going up. Rob knows she and Renee are good friends already, are you confident competition-wise? No, she laughs. The flirt is on, Shanaya tells us, but I still have the second half of the HoH competition, so I can't get too distracted. It's so hot in here, she says, not referring to the air. It's very hot in here, Rob agrees, referring to the air. In the Storeroom, Ty tells Rob he feels they are on the same page, warning him that John Michael can sway people. Rob says he doesn't want John Michael to win HoH. Ty thinks he will. Ty tells us he feels good that he has Zach, Rob and Jonathan in his corner. If John Michael wins, he's convinced the boys are going up on the block. Rob says John Michael told him he's good with everyone but him. At least he told you straight to your face, Ty says, he's very dangerous. Rob tells us he has a good social game with Santina, but doesn't know where John Michael stands. If he wins HoH, he could be going up on the block. Back in the Storeroom, Ty assures Rob he's trying to keep the boys here. Rob thinks they'll be good if Santina wins. Ty worries she's soft despite a hard front. If we can get through that, we're good. They slide-slap and agree to keep communication open. In the Flamingo bedroom, Renee says the game changes so fast. Just 24 hours ago she was chillin'. 8 hours ago, not chillin'. All I know is my makeup has to look good, whatever I'm doing. Claudia comes in and Renee says she was just about to do a happy dance before a cry dance. Renee says she wants to do something with the girls. Claudia says you can tell the boys are already doing... Right, Renee agrees. Claudia tells us you could see the boys gravitate to each other last night, bonding. Not on my watch. Renee tells Claudia that Shanaya would be open to doing something this week to flip the house against the guys. An all-girl alliance would be legendary, Claudia tells us. Claudia asks Renee to check her makeup and Renee offers some blending touch-ups. Houseguests, it's time for a fashion show. The Houseguests decide to show off the outfits they received in their gift bags. Claudia is first and Daniel says she's serving looks. Hope is next, dancing in spring prep clothes. John Michael looks like a middle class teen, while Jonathan reels hin his looks in a leather jacket. Rob hits it out of the park with a black blazer over a pink polo. Then Vanessa comes out wearing a black leather lace sports bra over a hot pink faux leather unitard and a purple wig. She crouches and gyrates behind the balcony railing as the Houseguests cheer and Hope's jaw drops. Mamma never told him there were girls like this! In the Diary Room he lets out a whoop and says she looks like a rock star. Vanessa makes her way down the grand staircase, stopping to bend down and flex, Legally Blond style. The guys just bow down to her as she parades through the Living Room. Hope collapses into Rob's arms. We're going to have to call the medics, Renee quips. In the Flamingo bedroom. Zach tells Ty, Kuzie and Jonathan his legs are tired. Kuzie wants to see his calves. She reaches down to touch them, then gets scared and pulls back. She leaves and the guys start talking. Zach doesn't know her well enough yet, but thinks the three of them can do real damage. Zach says it wasn't his original strategy but it's been a good start so far. He thought a group of guys would have a target on their backs but he's getting to know them and rethinking his game to keep them all safe. Zach says Renee and, what's her name. Shanaya, Jonathan offers. I'll win those two over, Zach says, you (Jonathan) pick two to win over, and you (Ty) pick two to win over. We play it wider, we have the east coasters, the west coasters. Jonathan suggests Claudia. Ty says he has chemistry with Kuzie so he'll keep building it with her. That'll give them a 360 view of what's going on in the house. Jonathan say she can't get too too close. No, Zach says, I'm not saying... I'm in a relationship back home, Jonathan blurts out, and I plan on being completely faithful. Ty laughs. Zach says unless your game is on the line. They laugh. I mean, if it's a game situation and I have to make a move to keep one of you guys, I'm gonna do it! Zach tells us he treats Big Brother like a business deal. You gotta schmooze. If I have to lay in bed with a man or a woman (Zach has a different definition of "schmooze" than I do - Fuskie), I'm going to be laying there because I'm not going home without using every skill I got. And flirting is definitely one of those skills. We can figure this out, he tells Ty and Jonathan, if we stay true to ourselves and to each other. Daniel is meandering through the house, gravitating towards a previously locked door. Only this time, it's not locked. He looks around to see if anyone's watching, then goes through to find a hallway with more doors. He opens a door to the Circle K lounge and squeals with excitement. There's snacks on shelves, a microwave and a refrigerator in the wall. He goes back out to the main house and lets everyone in on his discovery. The other Houseguests come in. Anika loves snacks and works out so she needs electrolytes every day to keep her butt looking good. Hope comes out of the Storeroom to find the main house empty. Yo, he calls out, where's the milk at? Hello? He finds the other Houseguests partying in the Circle K lounge. Does anyone know where the milk is, he asks? John Michael is called to the Diary Room and the Houseguests think this is in preparation for the second part of the Head of Household and Dead Last competitions, leaving Zach alone with his chips and and Claudia. She tells him she's slow to get to know people. That can work to your benefit, he thinks. I'm still talking to everyone, she says. Bustin' around, he says, that's smart. And you have your little bromance, she says injects. Zach stops chewing as she looks at him like she's caught him red handed (they are BBQ chips, after all). Is that what everyone thinks, he counters defensively, do people feel that way? Claudia tells us there's definitely something going on with the bro's so this is a great time to find out what. Zach asks if Claudia heard anyone saying that. No, says. But you just said it, Zach says, going on the offensive. She laughs it off. My fears are coming to fruition, Zach tells us, it seems as if the bromance is public knowledge, and that is not what I wanted. Zach tries to spin it, saying you just naturally gravitate to what you're comfortable with, then you realize you can't play together. That's how I see it. Claudia tells us she doesn't think Zach is telling her everything. Zach tells Claudia if he wanted to hang out with the same people he hangs out with at home, he could have stayed home. The Houseguests are called to the Living Room. Executive Producer Erin Brock comes over the PA and says she has some news to share. Amal needed to leave the show for personal reasons. For the sake of her privacy, we're not going to discuss the specifics. We would ask that you respect her privacy inside and outside of the house, as this is a personal matter. Erin offers to let each Houseguest talk with her one-on-one in the Diary Room if they need to do so. Speaking for the house, Zach says let her know they love her. Kuzie tells us she will do Amal proud and win this game. Pickles, Kuzie asks, are you actually going to do it? She is watching Ty make a sandwich in the Storeroom. Don't do it, she urges. You don't put pickles on your sandwiches, he asks? I only eat pickles by themselves. Why would somebody do that to themselves? Are you serious? Ty needs something from the Kitchen, leaving Kuzie and Santina alone. They sit on the counter. Kuzie says it is going to be so difficult to put someone up. Everyone's OK, she says, no one's terrible. I'm not even HoH yet, Santina tells us, and people are already talking to me about what I'd do as HoH. Ty returns but Kuzie keeps talking. I'm happy for you guys, but I would feel the pressure right now. How are you feeling? I don't know, says Santina casually, because I haven't won. Kuzie tells us Santina could be the first HoH of the season and I wanna make sure I cover my bases early, so I'm going to cross my T's, dot my I's, but Santina is giving me nothing. Kuzie changes tact. Do you mind winning, she asks? I don't know how everyone else feels about me, Santina replies. Kuzie is cool, Santina tells us, but I'm not giving her my game plan. It's Big Brother - you have to think ahead! In the Library, Jonathan and Rob are playing pool and talking about home. Rob misses his sisters kids. His niece is an infant and his nephew is 3. They're in that cute stage. They're going to be a lot different, Jonathan tells him. Jonathan tells us Rob is a great guy, open ears. It's great being able to talk to him about my 12 yr old son, Liam. Rob says if you don't mind my asking, you had him when you were pretty young. Yeah, Jonathan says, I was 21. That must have rocked your world. It was really heady, Jonathan admits, but I grew up a lot having him. As soon as I held him, Jonathan recalls, that was my purpose. That was the reason I existed. Seeing him get everything in life now, having his friends, having his life, having a good school, it's worth a million bucks. I love family. Any more in your future, asks Rob? For sure. If I win this, and I'm going to win (Rob laughs), that's the first thing on my to-do list, going home and working on growing my family. In the Wash Area, Claudia tells Santina that they haven't talked yet but I've liked your vibes from the beginning. How are you feeling? If I win, Santina says, getting right to the point, I'm not going to put you up. 1000%. I want to get to know you more. Feeling safe, Claudia decides to push for more information, asking if there is anyone she has in mind. If I win, Santina says carefully, it gives me the chance to talk to everyone, everyone's going to come to me and I'll see who they want and go with the majority so I don't put a target on my back. Not getting the answer she wanted, Claudia decides to push her own agenda and asks Santina if she thinks the bro's are together. You can see Hope, Rob, Ty and Jonathan doing squats on the grand staircase. I feel like they have each others' backs, Claudia continues. Santina wonders if they're just gravitating to each other because they're strong men. I don't know if they are aligning with each other or just hanging out. Rob rushes in to grab a towel. It's a spicy workout out there, he says, sweating. The other guys follow him in. Hello, Claudia tells us, the boys are always working out together, we would be naive to think nothing is going on game-wise. Come on, Santina! John Michael, Zach and Rob are in the Storeroom. Are we going to talk game, Zach asks? John Michael takes control of the conversation, saying he think game is being talked about but not by him outside of the two of them. My take, he says while holding the refrigerator door open, is no one's making mistakes. Putting anyone on the block is fair game. I need something to happen in the next couple of days. Zach says the first day, it felt like the guys just got into like, and I was, nah. this isn't how I want to play the game, this isn't what I want. Oh, replies John Michael matterof-factly, if I win HoH, guys are going up. Rob and Zach are taken by surprise at the boldness of the statement. I'll announce it, John Michael confirms, all's fair in this game. Zach can't keep the stunned look off his face. If I can't justify an actual nominee, John Michael continues, I will be coming for the guys. I'm not afraid to do that. They'll say it's a big move. It's week one - there are no big moves. Any move is big. What?!! Zach asks in the Diary Room. I am not afraid to make big moves, John Michael claims in the Diary Room, I'll say to my Houseguests, I'll say to Canada, I'm here to play and I want to win. You have a big decision, Zach says. John Michael says he trusts them (Zach and Rob). They hug awkardly, with the refrigerator door caught in the middle. In the Wash Area, John Michael says he's going to put some deoderant on and invites Santina into his bedroom. They head into the Palm BR. She's never been in there. She tells him they they should just go for it, neither has anything to lose, they aren't going home. John Michael agrees, and tells her she's safe in his book. He's 100% safe. He wants to build trust with her and making it really far working together. There aren't many guarantees in Big Brother, John Michael explains but one guarantee is you can't trust anyone. In this second part of the HoH competition being a solo challenge, I just need to look out for myself. I want to win this. Santina wishes him good luck. He wishes her good luck as well. Neither of them mean it. Santina says her best friend is rooting for them because he's Philapino. Is he single, John Michael asks? He is, she laughs. It's time for the second part of the Head of Household competition. The Houseguests are in the Backyard, with John Michael and Santina on the left side, wearing and lit in green, Renee and Shanaya on the right, wearing and lit in red. In the middle is a plaque with Kevin Jacon Jacobs picture, "In Honor Of Season 10 Winner" engraved, and a sculpture of King Kevin above. Welcome to part two of the season's first Head of Household competition, reads Ty off a card, tonight, John Michael and Santina will be facing off to determine the first Head of Household. Meanwhile, the last place finishers, Renee and Shanaya, will battle it out to avoid being Dead Last. As you know, whoever loses will be headed straight for the block. I'm sure this twist has left you all feeling a little "on hedge", so let's get to it. Here's how the competition works. On GO, race to collect the garden statue pieces scattered in your lane and assemble a puzzle in honor of last season's winner, Kevin Jacobs. Once you figure out statue, you can start maneuvering your hedges. Line them up perfectly so that your ball can roll down from hedge to hedge into Kevin's crown. However, if your ball fails to land, you must head back down your ladder, retrieve it, and try again. Who will win HoH and who will be Dead Last? Let's find out. The hedges are tall and thin, with a plastic trough running along the top edge. The Houseguests must climb up to the top of the hedge, then drop a ball into the first hedge. The ball must roll from hedge to hedge and ultimately into the crown. If the ball drops, they must climb down, realign the hedges, climb back up, and try again. Santina and John Michael are competing against each other for HoH, while Renee and Shanaya are competing to avoid being Dead Last. Houseguests, Ty announces, this competition starts NOW! All four Houseguests descend to the ground level to start work on their Kevin statues. They must find the pieces in their sectioned off area and place them on a pole sticking out of the statue's base. The pieces have alignment grooves in them so they can only be stacked in one order. A pair of sunglasses and crown complete the sculpture. All four lay out their pieces and start building their 3D Kevin puzzle. Santina is thinking hard on how to assemble the puzzle. She doesn't know if she can trust John Michael - he's very smart. She and John Michael are neck and neck as they build Kevin's torso. They each tell each other they're doing OK. They are both making good progress on their puzzles. Meanwhile, Renee and Shanaya demonstrate that their last place finish in Part I of the competition was not a fluke. Both are well behind John Michael and Santina, though they are competing only against each other. Shanaya says she's not great at puzzles, but once she got her first piece in, she started flying through it. She is leading Renee by 3 or 4 puzzle layers as the Houseguest gallery cheers them on. She's past Kevin's eyes and glasses and puts on his crown, beating both Santina and John Michael. Big Brother clears her to move on the next stage, aligning the hedges. Santina and John Michael are neck and neck, both putting on Kevin's crown at the same time. Big Brother sends two dings, indicating both have completed stage one. It's a race to align their hedges and get their ball rolling! Each hedge is a different height, with the top edge sloping from back to front, but they must be aligned at angles to cover the short distance from the hedge to Kevin's crown. If not aligned correctly, the ball will roll off the hedge and the Houseguest must climb down to retrieve it. The first to get their ball to roll into their crown wins. Renee continues having trouble assembling her 3D Kevin puzzle. The pieces just aren't lining up, she says. Renee doesn't know what Kevin Jacobs looks like, Ty jokes. I know what he looks like, she promises us, but I can't figure out the dang puzzle! Santina tells us there's only one way to line up the hedges for the ball to roll into the crown. I'm no physics major, but I want to win! Come on, physics, John Michael exclaims, climbing up his ladder for his first ball attempt. The ball rolls down the first hedge and then misses the second, falling to the ground. Santina makes her first attempt and gets through to the second-to-last hedge but then her ball also falls. John Michael has adjusted his hedges and climbs up for his second attempt. This time the ball makes it down 2 hedges before finding a gap and falling. Santina is ready for her second attempt. This time the ball has too much speed and misses the transition from the 3rd to 4th hedge. John Michael tells us his hedges look good and he's ready to take this HoH. Both he and Santina climb their ladders at the same time. John Michael fails in his attempt. The Houseguests are all stretching over the railing to watch Santina as she lets her ball roll from hedge to hedge and finally, into Kevin's crown. Santina is the new Head of Household! In the Diary Room, she screams and does a stationary happy dance. She just won HoH! John Michael congratulates her and Ty makes it official. That was for you, Kevin, she says. Meanwhile, the race for Dead Last continues. Renee continues to struggle with her puzzle while Shanaya lines up her hedges. She climbs up for her first attempt. The ball bounces off the first hedge. She adjusts and climbs up for her second attempt while Renee still works the puzzle below. Shanaya's ball misses the transition to the third hedge and she has to go again, but Renee's puzzle problems give her plenty of time. In the third attempt, the ball is bouncing too much and bounces out of the third hedge. Meanwhile, Renee is starting to make sense of the 3D puzzle. She looks tortured by Kevin as she receives words of encouragement from above. For the love of Pete, she says, putting Kevin's crown on his head. She has completed the puzzle and moves on to the hedges! Now the pressure is on Shanaya as Renee has caught up. Rob notes to Zach that Renee's first hedge is reversed so that it slopes up instead of down, but she doesn't see it (the hedges are very tall). They can't say anything, so her first attempt rolls right off the starting point and she immediately realizes her mistake. They're going to think I'm so stupid, she says as she rotates her hedge into the right position. Both Renee and Shanaya roll their balls at the same time and both fall at the same points in the hedge. Shanaya says she's been up and down the ladder a million frickin' times, adusting every angle to get this stupid ball into the crown. I never want to see a ladder again in my life, she says, climbing the ladder. I never want to see a hedge again, Renee counters. Shanaya's ball rolls from the first hedge to the second, from the second to the third, from the third to the fourth and then falls off. All the cheering Houseguests groan. Meanwhile, Renee is still trying to get past her first hedge. Both women climb up their ladders and release their balls at the same time. Renee's again bounces off. Shanaya's makes it past the second hedge to the third, from the third to the fourth, and from the fourth it drops into Kevin's Crown. Shanaya wins, which means Renee is Dead Last and automatically nominated. Shanaya screams with joy as the Houseguests celebrate. She's so frickin' proud for saving herself from coming in Dead Last, she tells us, I'm so relieved. Shanaya gives Renee a commisatory hug. Dead last, Renee says, as the other Houseguests give her hugs of sympathy. Your girl is Dead Freakin' Last, she says in the Diary Room. The boutee that didn't want to go on the block is hitting the block this week. But we're not done yet. Nothing is over and said and done, so I gotta get to work, because the Reneesance needs to continue. OK, Canada? OK.

Amal is from Toronto, ON, and she's here to bless your TV screens with this free entertainment she's been dishing out her entire life. She is first generation Somali Canadian.

They come down the grand staircase and introductions ensue. Jonathan struggles to get past Jacuzzi and find just Kuzi. They spot an elegant portrait upstairs of past BBCan Houseguest. Is that all winners, Amal asks? Oh no, Gary's there (ouch, too soon?). They point to the Houseguest they recognize. Amal's favorite Houseguest was Anthony but Dane won his season. He was charming. She's seen all of it and confesses to loving BB. We are so grateful to be embarking on our 11th season, Arissa says. As we do so, we acknowledge the history of the land on which the Big Brother Canada House stands here in Toronto. We are here on the traditional territory of many nations, including the Mississauga's, the Aneshave, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wyandot peoples. And is now, of course, home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. On behalf of the entire Big Brother Canada family, we want to recognize that big rich. Eight suspects are already inside, but there are another eight more than ready to join them. Watch out, Houseguest, says Shanaya, I get business done. To all the Super fans, Daniel declares, I'm playing for you. People are gonna underestimate me, Claudia claims, but that's gonna be their mistake. These other Houseguests won't know what hit them, Roberto brags. Daniel is a 33 year old graphic designer from Toronto, ON. He's always been larger than life. Loud, over the top, fun. He did not apply for 11 years to play safe. He's coming into the house on 100, be with the girls in the washroom putting on makeup, outside working out with the boys. I am that chaotic, he says, one second I'm like, wooh, party! And the next second I'm in the room, what's the plan? What's the strategy? I'm coming into the house to be a legend, to be an icon. Anika is 28 years old from Saskatoon, SK and works in the finance sector. When people first meet her, they think she's arrogant or has a resting bitchface. But is it? She's very passionate about dancing, Indian classical and Bangla folk dance. She's proud to be Bangladeshi because it is such a rich culture, history and family oriented. Claudia is 25 years old from PEI and works in marketing. She's 5 feet, very tiny, but she's got this. She was a dancer and a cheerleader from when she was 8 years old. She's going to bring it in challenges. She's active, small, inviting. Roberto Lopez is a gym manager from Toronto, ON who thinks people look at him and assume he's some type jock or meathead. He's more than a good bod with a bunch of tattoos, he's got layers like an an onion. He comes from an Italian Mexican background, so lots of food in his household. His sister has 2 beautiful kids and his nephew is now at the age where he kind of recognizes him and calls him Zeo. It's pretty heartwarming and you know, the family's full of love. In the house, says Daniel, my enemies will be the jocks and any of the arrogance types. I can be very blunt, Anika admits, there is a difference between arrogant and confident and she's just confident. I am open to love, for sure, Robert says, his ideal woman would be someone who's active and like to have fun. Claudia is looking for someone attractive, tall, dark and handsome. Canada, it is finally time to have a gay black man walk out with the crown, exclaims Daniel. Claudia is excited to represent PEI. Let's make it happen. Anika has only seen one season of Big Brother, but is going to be fine winging it. How hard can it be? Here are the next four house guests: Annika. Daniel, Claudia and Roberto. Welcome. Now I have one question for you. Are you ready to get straight up diabolical? Yes, they all answer. OK, you're ready to play! You may now enter. In the house, Ty is looking for the gym. Renee says it's out by the hot tub where she'll be. The Manor doors swing open as the third group of Houseguest enter. Introductions are made and Champaign is shared. Renee tells Roberto he's a handsome man. Daniel has Santini laughing. The girls are amazed that Claudia is from PEI. Roberto and Hope bond over being from Ontario. Santina finds the Diary Room, which has an optical illusion of being longer than it actually is. She runs and gets the other Houseguest. This year, it's a mystery to end all mysteries, and in the end, only one Houseguest will be able to solve it and win it all. Coming up a little later tonight, we'll get to the competition, and in this one, no one will wanna be. Dead last. You'll see what I mean in just a bit. Before that, let's meet our final group of Houseguests. I want to make big moves, John Michael says, this is Big Brother Canada. You know, we gotta put in that work. I am definitely the life of the party, says Shanaya, I'm just gonna make everybody laugh and love me. My social game will be my strength, promises Dan, I'm a little bit of a charmer. There's gonna be some backstabbing and some lying, promises Vanessa, and I am excited for it! John Michael is 20 years old from Bradford, ON. His signature color is yellow, bright and bold. You know, that main character color. He's pretty flamboyant. Walking into a room, he definitely sets off some fire alarms. His parents are the biggest fans of Big Brother. Honestly, it adds just a tiny bit of pressure because he's not only doing this for himself, but a little bit for them as well. Shred the letters or take the money, he asks? Get the money, his dad exclaims. Shanaya is a 27 year old bartender from Victoria, BC. She loves her job slinging drinks. She won't say she's the world's best bartender, but she's definitely the world's funniest. She's a low key nerd who likes to play video games and watch anime. She's the Queen of self deprecating humor. At work, people tell her she looks a little intimidating and then she cracks fart jokes, catching them off guard. She lets one rip. Excuse me, she laughs. What's up, Canada. Dan is a 28 year old music producer/DJ from Niagara Falls, ON. He produces electronic music under an alias, Zabbo. As a DJ, you command the energy of a room. It's the coolest feeling in the world. He's always loved music and looks up to his his dad, who was in rock bands since before he was born. He just thought his dad was so cool because he was like a rock star. I'm Vanessa is a 42 years old mom from Calgary, AB with 4 kids, but is not a normal mom, she's the cool mom. She surfs, skateboards, does Kung Fu and loves house music. Her kids know, the music comes on and she's gonna throw down. She's had alopecia her whole life. In simple terms, it means she just can't grow hair. I also have vitiligo. It is the rejection of pigment in the skin. She owns her alopecia and her vitiligo. She doesn't just own it, she loves it. This is me, she declares. I'm incapable of keeping quiet, John Michael confesses, I love talking. I definitely have to play that sneaky character for a little bit just to gain everyone's trust. My biggest weakness, Shanaya admits, is she's a little bit too trusting. Also, guys. I'm definitely a flirt, Dan says, I like to, you know, catch a vibe with someone. I like confident, good sense of humor. My type, says Shanaya, is tattoos, piercings, give me a nose hoop and I love it. I am so ready to play this game, Vanessa boasts, get me in that house. Jam sitting out, John Michael says brushing his fingers over his forehead, how does Arissa do it? Big Brother is always watching! Here they are: John Michael, Shanaya, Dan and Vanessa. Welcome to Big Brother Canada. Now, just one thing I want you to know, this season will be full of suspense and intrigue. Do you think you can handle that? I hope so, they say. Well, it's too late to turn back now! You may make your grand entrance. Good luck. The girls have found the Wash Area and are touching up. The final Houseguest make their grand entrance the Big Brother Canada Manor, sending the first twelve Houseguest into tizzy. Daniel meets Dan at the top of the stairs. John Michael says the house is so regal. Shanaya compliments Jonathan on his jacket being very Canadian (red and black plaid). John Michael runs around excitedly waiving his arms like a flamingo. Vanessa notices there's a billiard room, a kitchen, it's a who done it! Ty remembers that Arisa said that when they came in. They love the theme. There are definitely some secrets in these rooms. Maybe a trap door in the bookcase. The doors are closed. The game is on. The mystery that is Season 11 is officially underway. Even though the 16 Houseguests have only been in the manner for a few minutes, this game of who done it is already in Overdrive. The Houseguest have all gathered in the Living Room for formal introductions. Hope wants to have fun, for real. Roberto says call him Rob. Shanaya says he looks good and he blushes. She tells us he's very cute with the tattoos and the nose hoop, I could feel my chest getting hot. Shanaya tells the Houseguest to call her Naynay. Hope does a happy dance. Zach says they can call him Naynay as well. Hope dances again. Daniel says this is a hot cast. John Michael hopes his town of Bradford has a billboard with his face on it. He says they can call him JM or Daddy. OMG, Daniel exclaims! Watch yourself, warns Kuzi in the Diary Room, I'm the sassy one around here. Kuzi says they can call her Big Daddy K if they want. She's the sweet yummy ooey gooey dynamite in the small package. I can't believe we're here, she says, let's make this a fun season. The Houseguest break up to socialize more. In the storeroom, Vanessa says she's allergic to bananas. Good to know, Dan says. A gong rings out and the Houseguest all look up at the front door. Do we answer it, asks Daniel? A wax-sealed envelope is slid under the door into the foyer. Welcome, Kuzi reads, many surprises await, including a personalized gift bag in the guest quarters. Enjoy... While you still can! The bedrooms are open and the Houseguest rush to check them out and claim their beds. The first bedroom is pink flower and flamingo print. The second has tropical jungle vibe with palm trees and fronds. Arissa calls the Houseguest to the living room. It is my pleasure to officially welcome you to Season 11 of Big Brother Canada. I have some good news for you to kick off the season. For the first time ever, no one will be going home this week. The Houseguest celebrate. But this good news comes with a twist. This is Big Brother, after all. Brace yourselves, because this season is starting with something called Dead Last. If you come in last place in an HoH competition, you will automatically be nominated for eviction. The Houseguest gasp. What? That's crazy! Like always, Arissa continues, the Head of Household, will still nominate 2 Houseguests for eviction, meaning there will be three of you on the block. This is horrible, Daniel cries. For tonight's competition, you will be playing in pairs. So right now, you must choose a partner. You obviously don't know what the competition is yet, so try to choose someone you think you can work with. The Houseguest are stunned and quickly start to pair up. Hope and Rob escape into the SR to strategize. I don't mind if we don't win, Rob says, we just can't be last. They don't want being the first HoH on their back. Going home early would suck, Hope agrees. Clues are everywhere and in just ten weeks, one of our 16 new Houseguests will solve the mystery and become a Big Brother champion. But there is a lot of game to play before that, and it all starts with the first competition of the year. Tonight, the house guests are playing in teams of two, so let's head to the backyard right now to get this paired up party started. It's time to play Rough Around The Hedges. Big Brother has designed a multi level hedge to protect the BBCAN grounds and it's your job to assemble an invitation to enter the Manor. But this isn't your standard HoH competition, it's a two-part showdown. That means the pair that finishes first tonight will move on to battle it out for the HoH crown tomorrow night. And the pair that loses will face off to avoid being dead last. Yep, this is a competition you do not want to throw. Get ready, house guests. And. Go! One member of each pair is on a balcony at the top of the hedge, while the other attempts to untangle a set of envelope puzzle pieces stuck in vines. Renee and Shanaya are the first to get a puzzle piece free. The knots are very tight, JM tells us, as he puts his first piece on his puzzle table. The top-hedge Houseguest can only watch as their ground level partners struggle to free their pieces. Jonathan wanted to team with Roberto but he went with Hope, so he teamed up with Claudia. Jonathan struggles to get his fingers in to untie the knots while Claudia offers encouragement from above. But she's secretly frustrated, she tells us, that the fisherman can't untie a knot. Daniel has all his puzzle pieces and moves on to the next stage. He threads a key through the vine up to Anika so she can unlock a hatch, untie more puzzle pieces, and then slip down through a twisted vine net. This requires teamwork as the key must pass up and down the twisted vines. Santina and JM are the first to free their key and and unlock their hatch. She breaks a nail but it doesn't slow her down. Rob gets their key to Hope and he unlocks his hatch. We just can't be last, Santina says as she starts sliding pieces through the net down to JM. Thank you love, he coos. He has to twist the net to make room for the puzzle piece to slip through the hole at the bottom. All the teams are working to get their second set of puzzle pieces through the twisted net. Renee says the sharp edges keep getting caught. Santina sends the last one down to JM, who signals it's OK for her to slip down through the hatch and into the twisted net below. He helps her place her feet to where he can twist the bottom of the net. She then slips one leg through the hole at the bottom, then the other. She drops through the bottom and he helps her up. Moving on to Stage 3, JM and Santina start working on their envelope puzzle. The other teams are close behind, coming down through the net but get stuck. Kuzi gets stuck with her rear at the bottom and her feet by her head. Dan helps Terrell through the net. Rob and Hope are through. All three teams are working on their puzzles. This is going to be close, Arissa narrates. JM repeats he doesn't want to win. You don't, asks Santina? What if we go on the block? I think we should win. You want to win, asks JM? Yeah, Santina says. Are you sure? They give each other a look to decide what to do. Dan and Terrel drop some pieces on the ground, but Terrell misses one when he picks them up. How are we not getting this, mutters Rob. Hope and Rob work their puzzle, finding corner pieces. We should definitely win, Santina insists to JM. He agrees. Let's do this, he says motivationally. JM notices that the fold in the envelope makes an X under the seal, and the puzzle quickly falls into place. Check, he calls out. Ding Ding, rings BB. JM and Santina have won the competition. One of them will be HoH. They hug in relief, then celebrate in the Diary Room with screaming. But who will come in last? Arissa reminds everyone else to keep going. She tells us the comp will conclude in the next episode and whomever finishes last will compete for the Dead Last, with the loser automatically nominated. Plus, Canada can vote for the "belairdirect" eviction protection insurance and be safe for the week. The remaining teams continue struggling to get through the net. Get ready for a killer season, Arissa intones, and remember, someone is always watching!

Call me a cynic, but I think there's an altruism filter when you walk through the door into the BB House and it gets stronger the closer you get to the money.
