Oh, I'm so excited! I've never watched BBUK before, and I can't wait! I find British accents so fascinating, so this should be great.
First impressions as the houseguests, or I should say "housemates" enter the house:
1. Jack & Joe--they are twins entering the house as 1 housemate; one is gay, one is straight...they're hilarious. One of them totally slipped going down the stairs going into the house!
2. Sallie--whoa! apparently the UK gets away with a lot! Lots of side-boob showing with that outfit, and those shorts...yikes!
3. Jemima--she looks really fake, like she's had a lot of plastic surgery, and her eyes really creep me out. She's dressed like she's entering the Miss Universe pageant, not the Big Brother house. She said she's looking for love and is a self-proclaimed gold digger. Watch out guys!
4. Michael--he thinks he's sort of cute and nerdy. He doesn't think he'll be a threat to the guys because he's not an alpha male. His job is a postman...haha! BUT WAIT!!! The secret of the season is just revealed...he says that everything he has just said about himself is a lie! He is actually a professional actor who was picked by Big Brother to work for the viewers, as the "People's Puppet". He is there to stir things up and create chaos. He doesn't have housemate status, so he can't win the show...he's only there for our entertainment. Oh boy...love it!
5. Callum--what a cutie! Finally someone good-looking to watch! He sounds, and looks, like quite the charmer.
6. Wolfy--what? Seriously, is that her name? She is quite the gal. She needs a serious makeover! Her look just screams "yuck!" And...she's a lesbian fisherwoman...yeah. If you have trouble remembering who she is, just look for the large girl with the big bandanna, fish tattoos and no shoes.
7. Sam--he looks like he's 12! He also looks quite a bit like Harry Styles. Good luck trying to understand anything he says! Wow! If I heard him right, he's actually deaf and wears hearing aids. That explains part of the reason why it's extra hard to understand his Welsh accent.
8. Sophie--this blonde says she's not a dumb blonde. She works in her dad's scrap yard and has a black belt in karate.
9. Dexter--what a player...literally, he is/was a male prostitute!
Let's get it started...
Big Brother calls for someone to go to the Diary Room. Everyone in the living room watches as he is told that he is the Head Housemate. He then has a choice: keep his suitcase, and all of his housemates' suitcases will be destroyed, or save all the housemates' suitcases and his will be destroyed. He chooses to keep his suitcase, and the rest are to be destroyed by a giant shredder. Most of them are extremely kind to him about his decision. Sallie wasn't as OK, and she suspected foul play. We then learn that it was all a joke (big surprise; could they have really left them all in there with no change of clothes?).
My first thoughts on night 1:
It's going to take some getting used to the very different house, referring to the Head of Household as the Head Housemate, etc. The UK version is just all around very different than the US and the Canada version. So far, I'm loving the twists and the overall fresh take on the show (since I've never watched the UK version). I can't say that I'm blown away by the housemates...yet. The last BB season I watched was BB Canada, and it was totally awesome. It will be very tough to beat that season. I'm also hoping that I can keep up with the episodes, seeing as our very own US version starts on the 26th.
Part 2...
6 more housemates will be entering the house to join the 9 that already entered last night.
10. Gina--another completely fake looking lady! What is with these girls and their fake hair, tons of make up and skimpy, skimpy clothes? She thinks there should be a maid in the Big Brother house...spoiled much? She came out to more boos than anyone, I think...even more than Dexter. Wow, I think she might be the most annoying person we've met so far. All she could say when she entered the house was "Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God..."
11. Dan--another cutie! Yay! He's a police officer (or was) and has a son, and he's...gay! What?! Darn it! Sounds like he lives a pretty reckless lifestyle for a police officer.
12. Hazel--another pretty girl, and she's a model. She's definitely the prettiest of the group and she doesn't wear too much make up. Thank you!
13. Daley--he's an undefeated professional boxer, and not too bad to look at either. He seems like a pretty normal guy with a good head on his shoulders.
14. Charlie & 15. Jackie--mother/daughter; they've had a tense relationship in the past, but seem to be doing better in the last year. Their almost like twins...they laugh and talk in unison. Interesting that they get to play as individuals, while Jack and Joe are 1 housemate.
Michael, the People's Puppet, gets another assignment. The public voted online for his task. Big Brother calls him into the Diary Room again. Big Brother tells him that he can have a pizza and a beer as a luxury, but he would sacrifice the 6 new housemates' suitcases. The public voted for him to save the suitcases. Oh, and all of the other housemates watched the entire conversation in the DR (even though BB told him it was just between them...but he obviously was in on it the whole time).
His next secret is that as Head Housemate, he is immune from nominations for the week plus he will be the only one nominating 3 housemates for eviction. (Apparently, in the UK version, all housemates make nominations every week, so this is not something that normally happens?). So, once he makes his nominations, the public votes on who is evicted (also something that is different than the US and Canada versions...where normally it's the houseguests who vote each other out). Can't wait to see who he nominates.
