BB16 - Episode 1 *spoilers*

So this is part 1 of the 2 part premiere of Big Brother season 16. The first 8 houseguests were introduced to the audience and allowed in fours into the house.

After watching the pre-premiere interviews from the houseguests, I will say that my initial impressions of the first 8 have not changed much if at all.

I still love Frankie. I still can't stand Paola. Joey still rocks my world and I will say I love her blue hair! Amber, Donny, Devin, and Cody are still Switzerland for me. I don't love them, I don't hate them, they're just there. Nicole is an idiot but she doesn't bother me with her ineptitude yet.

After the introduction via video clips of them getting their keys, Julie lets them into the house. First four are Cody, Amber, Donny and Joey. Screaming and running and exclamations of disbelief ensues lol. Donny seems very lost and out of place. Poor guy. Next in are Devin, Nicole, Paola, and Frankie to join the rest. Nicole actually admits to the DR that she pees her pants if she gets excited. Lordy..  Joey and Frankie hit it off right away. Squeee! They all see 16 place settings at the table and realize there are more HG's to come. Duh lol.

They all introduce themselves. Cody wants to know more about "Pow-pow" (rolls eyes). Frankie is wary of Pow-pow because she's a DJ and probably knows who his sister is and might know him as well. Frankie and Paola have crushes on Cody.. lol. Joey says Frankie and she are soul mates. Devin comes clean about him being a MLB player. Devin thinks Joey is a 10!

After the break, the 8 HG's  have a house meeting claiming solidarity against the new 8 coming in the house. They name themselves the crazy 8's. Then Frankie suggests the Mama Mia ab routine. He, Devin, and Cody get down and work out their abs. Everyone watches in disbelief and think it's awesome lol. Donny corners Devin and tells him he's a superfan, Devin tells Donny he trusts him and makes a side alliance with him. They call themselves the Double D's. Paola sees Frankie and Cody upstairs playing chess by the HOH room. She interferes and hangs out trying to keep them from making an alliance. Meanwhile Paola joins Joey, Nicole and Amber hanging out in the fire room. They make a side alliance together, the four girls, calling themselves El Quatro. Nicole tells the DR she doesn't even know what El Quatro means. Ugh.

Julie calls the HG's to the living room. She tells them they're going to be crowded in the house very soon. Then she tells them that one of them will be HOH. After the squeals of delight, Julie drops the bomb that the HOH is not safe, but she doesn't elaborate further. Paranoia abounds!

Julie comes back and calls them back for the HOH comp. In the backyard, there are sand castles, kites, and a big rolling log. Everyone has to balance walking on their part of the log while holding their kite. If they fall or let go of the kite string, their kite will fall and kill the sand castle. Paola falls first, Joey struggles, Devin shows stress. Joey falls next. Julie announces they need some sunscreen. The rest of the HG's get sprayed with "sunscreen". Nicole falls right after. Paola stares at Cody and his "delicious abs" yuck! Donny almost falls but makes a good save. The rolling log stops all of a sudden and changes direction. Everyone is struggling to stay on the log. After the break, we see Donny fall off the log. Devin falls almost right after. Now we only have Amber, Frankie, and Cody. Frankie looks solid. Cody is doing ok, and Amber is doing a big of a backwards jog. Cody falls next, it's down to Amber and Frankie. Amber tells the DR she's going to throw the comp because she's afraid of the HOH twist. Can you blame her? Frankie is thrilled to be HOH even though he's unsure if he should be stoked or not. Frankie calls a quick meeting asking for the rest of the 8 to have his back no matter what happens when the next 8 come in. He's freaking out a little bit.

After the last break, Julie talks to the new HOH and the rest of the HG's. Julie congratulates Frankie, lets him know that he will be tasked with nominating two HG's. She then says 8 more people are coming, and also drops the bomb that they will have an HOH as well. Two HOH's!! She says by the end of the week, only one HOH will be standing but doesn't say anything else about it. Another cliffhanger. More speculation.

Julie tells the viewers about TeamAmerica alliance. Three houseguests will be in an alliance with America. Throughout the summer, we will send them on secret missions, etc. Then we get teaser videos of the next 8 houseguests to come into the game.

Overall, these 8 really have a great energy. So far, they're fun and vivacious and guarantee some drama and excitement in the house. I'm looking forward to seeing what the introduction of the next 8 brings to this dynamic.
