Big Brother 27. Hello all! Here we are, another season of fun. Good news: same format, same fun! Bad news: you can’t buy Kraken in Canada anymore because of Trump tariffs.
Houseguests are given their keys
First 8 compete.
Zach wins the competition.
Second 8 compete.
Jimmy wins the competition
Zach wins 10 Grand (Wow he’s dead)
For Jimmy.. the first week HOH will be composed of 4 players Jimmy gets to pick the four.
Julie gives them time to better get to know each other.
Jimmy picks himself, Adrian, Ashley, Vince.
Vince wins the first Head of Household.
Mastermind layers alert.
Julie comes on the screen and tells them about the change this season. nominating three people is a permanent part of the game (yeah why not fuck it) it’s called BB Blockbuster. Vince nominates three people who will compete LIVE in the BB blockbuster competition The winner of that competition will come off the block leaving the two houseguests to face the live vote and eviction.
Ohh no the hacker brings Rachel Back
The hacker comes back on.. tells them. One of the players is his accomplice if they can figure out who the accomplice is removed from the game.
done episode 1. sure i’m two and a half hours behind.
only told a floating head on the tv “you’re an idiot’ 4x in 90 minutes. a record during a bb premiere for me.
possible eyerolls:
These are not tinfoil hats, these are the thoughts during episode.
1) at one point is Jankie the red face Billy knockoff going to be voted into the game only to reveal it’s a long loathed attention whoring reality tv douchecanoe? week 5?
2) a strategy wise person would float the idea of convincing the house to vote out a threat as the accomplice since we weren’t told who it is… the door is open to make it anybody.
HOWEVER
2b) if we are playing it straight and living in a world where Grod doesn’t grod…. anyone that said they don’t want to win the first comp (not first hoh but first comps which could have been safety for a week, they didn’t know)… put them to the top of the list of accomplice because: as a non housemember unless they succeed in getting away with being accomplice the last thing they would be able to do is win a comp when they were not yet even a houseguest. That means a whole lot of women are in accomplice running (makes sense considering bbus likes to start with equal male female counts as much as they can).
3) Will Jimmy be the foil for Rachel as it appeared in the last few minutes of the episode, or is he slated to be a nom or week one boot *Vince noted in episode before HOH he wouldn’t necessarily keep his word to Jimmy. And yes, i still can’t help seeing a dragking when i see Vince. That was a really bad photo and i can’t unsee it.
4) Ai Arena c**kblocker comp? Remember how there was almost no strategy talk most of the week because nobody knew who final noms would be? Remember how there was no campaigning? Remember how it felt like whoever Grod decides? This is how the season will go? Strategy analysts… take a long nap until ten minutes before eviction. daaaamn.
feeds is gonna be dry from monday to wednesday. not even adding the tinfoil aspect of this entire thing. just being straight up in saying strategic talk and campaigning is going to nosedive like last season so feeds will be pbbbst (raspberry noise) for a full day and a half where whe used to anticipate waffles.
Did i like anyone? not really. Did i dislike anybody? sorta. Did i nope anybody? i did not.
Ava already pulled a Rockstar and financial needed… give me strength. Keanu and Zae (sp?) already did a bordown psa? oy gevalt. not talking showmances because i’d rather eat my own eyeballs and chase the meal with broken glass soaked in battery acid.
See… i’m trying to be nice and play well with others. i’m even vacantly smiling and nodding my head.
LOL what?
Good to see you back Another Name! You had me worried with that “Life is lifing” post earlier this week. This place wouldn’t be the same without you.
episode 2. ONLY A 1/2 hour behind tonight.
EXPECTATION:
EDIT SAID ASHLEY / ADRIAN in some combination were possible noms. One WILL hit the block if the edit says it is possible for both. Jimmy will be after Rachel… but what point is there to a Jimmy without Rachel in the house to be her foil? THESE ARE PLOTPOINTS EPISODE ONE HIT IN THE EDIT… Let’s see if it plays out. And how many times will Morgan call herself a Gamer THIS episode? We almost hit double digits episode 1.
HOW WILL GROD ENSURE RACHEL’S SAFETY????? YOU KNOW SHE”S GOING TO… WE JUST DON”T KNOW HOW.
Thought about process: JUST ME BEING ME AND OVERANALYZING.
16 people are in a room. lots of stupid crap happens. a 17th enters. then it is revealed one of the 16 is a turncoat. who is given an automatic level of unearned trust because they cannot be the turncoat. THEN give them immunity…. and allow them to choose another people to be immune giving them a power advantage: Rachel.
Rachel picks old bro she thinks is her biggest fan. old bro picks young bro. young bro picks auradork already complaining about financial need. As many eyeerolls as it takes.
SO THE VET HAS IMMUNITY AND IS GIVEN A LEVEL OF TRUST UNEARNED. oy.
ACCOMPLICE REVEAL:
As suspected Amy was accomplice but the house guessed armpit, i mean brad pit??? i mean riley. No seriously Mickey… you compared HIM to Brad Pitt?????? Zae got five votes too. The accomplice HAD to be in group one. come on now.
GOOD THOUGHT BAD TIMING and GRODDING:
Jimmy is going hard on the evict rachel road during a week when she has immunity. Um.
If you saw bbcan the last season before cancel, the way they are explaining keep a vet…. is the same story. OF COURSE IT IS…. Grod has been Grodding or people are just starfuqing stupid. Always get rid of the vet because they are sitting in your seat at the finals if you don’t.
SO HOH: VINCE
IMMUNE AND HAVE NOT: RACHEL CLIFFTON ZACH AVA.
Zach has the bribery power with the 10k he won for saving Julie. ANOTHER week of safety any time he needs. Silly question… is he the Pastor’s son?
Zach has the first enter curse if it’s still a thing.
MOTION OF THE STORY
Jimmy, Morgan, Mickey seem to be a throuple “TRIPLE THREAT ALLIANCE”. Any other alliance views yet? No? so could be good or could be bad omen. DO i like this trio? Not really. Does it feel like a duo with an add on in EVERY direction? Yes. Yes it does.
Rachel and Amy are bonding. Oy. They are going to be WAY too loud and gabby and yippy. guhhh. OH NO… it’s a final 2. GEE RACHEL HAS A FINAL 2 WITH THE ACCOMPLICE… not tinfoiling just saying mmmhmm. “Mom Squad ALLIANCE”
FLUFF EDITED TO BE MAJOR STORY:
Ashley…. showers forever when Vince wants to go to sleep in the edit. The house makes it known Ashley is THAT woman. SHOWERGATE? oy. no really. Oy. Ashley blames Katherine for Ashley’s Princess behavior because she asked her about showering? On feeds this would have been a ten minute nothing burger because the HOH is not even involved in the convos and noms have not been made. I’m seriously thinking Ashley might be the too much princess houseguest that rubs the house the wrong way…. like maybe she brought edible glitter. The shower is the easy excuse. We’ve seen week one feeds. We know an easy excuse when we see it. I’m guessing, don’t come for me.
MORE ALLIANCING AND BONDING
The bros bro and i’m shocked. deadpan stare. Shocked like i’d like to flip the switch on this particular electric chair of beenthere donethat.
Vince complains about 3 noms with Jimmy. Apparently they are bonding? In the bathroom not the HOH. THE HOH PEOPLE ARE IMMUNE. THE HAVE NOTS ARE IMMUNE.
Zae looks like an early target for 5 votes as accomplice and brotown ringleader.
Kelley the walking meme is another of VInce’s trust circle. Final 2.
Kelley wants to be a nom….. is she really that silly??? Dear Kelley… week one HOH doesn’t usually make final 2… and volunteering to be the fly on the wall lowdown week one nominee is poor strategy. d’uh.
NOTE:
The 40+ women and the dorkier archetypes are all anti BRODOWN. And here comes Kelley saying nom me there’s 2 chances to save yourself less blood on your hands. d’oh.
Four have nots and three people playing HOH making a deal means half the house is immune??? WILL THE DEAL BE HONORED? I’m saying no by the edit. Zae is pushing for Ashley nom due to showergate. He is NOT volunteering. Guessing EVERY man does the same. AAAAND…
ALL MEN PUSH ASHLEY. D’uh. too easy to see a montage coming.
Ashley is… the edit is showing her as… a LOT. She reveals Zach told her she needed to talk to Vince. The trust thing is…. Ashley got a backhoe when a garden spade would have done the job nicely. They showed her interrupting one on ones a LOT, but expecting to be chased down? I dunno. Is it BECAUSE THEY HAVE A SAFETY DEAL?
NOT STATED BUT ASSUMED: Zach, Riley, Keane and Zae are a Brolliance.
AMY VINCE ONE ON ONE:
Zae, Ashley mentioned. Amy is anti-showergate. Amy is trying momnipulation. SO this will get Amy nominated? Did anyone buy the tears? Not so much here. Wait until she’s nom’d and cries. I’ll believe those tears. Seriously momnipulation tactic leading to a pawn nom…. sticking your neck out week one for a stranger in an only one wins premise game is silly and should be punished.
NOMS
ZAE, AMY, ASHLEY.
MY RESPONSE:
THE OBJECT IS TO GET A BRO OUT WITHOUT RUFFLING FEATHERS. THE SAFE MOVE IS THE WOMAN KEEPING ALL OF THAT WATER FROM IRRIGATING THE CLOSEST GOLF COURSE BY OVERSHOWERING. AND AMY CUS EVERY CAST NEEDS THE RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION CHARACTER ARC AND WHO BETTER THAN A MOM ALIGNED WITH RACHEL TO WHINE HARD DONE BY? blink blink. TWO OR EVEN THREE OF THEM ARE STAYING.
So the whole house will know an agreement with Vince is shit ON WEEK ONE.
Jimmy, Adrian, Ashley and Vince had a pre-HOH deal. whoopsie Frenchie slow your roll.
Bouncing checks in bb is fine. Bouncing checks week one? YE-ouch.
So now at least 3 bro are looking at Vince funny. Everyone in the safety deal with Vince is looking at him funny. The moms are looking at him funny. And his closest ally is volunteering to be a nom. Dragking or not (look at that picture it looks like a woman with a fake stache and a beanie)… Vinnie gonna get dragged.
Ok my favs on first impressions … Morgan, Lauren. Mickey, Katherine, Adrian. OHH and Rachel .. burn me at the cross.
Morgan is my main favorite.. as of now this is a Morgan fan site.
Hold on, I’m looking for my matches. Actually not bad pics based on first impressions but the addition of Rachel is lame to me, couldn’t they get someone from outside BB for a more shocking twist?
Based on what was said in pre-show interviews I had a feeling the extra guest would be Dr. Will, Dan, or Rachel. Predictable b/c they are BB alums known to make good tv. But it would have been perhaps more surprising/fun to go outside the franchise. Maybe Boston Rob or Sandra from Survivor or Leo & Jamal from Amazing Race. Perhaps Elon Musk is the evil mastermind, would be fitting.
Yep! lol
I like Morgan too. Lauren is from our hometown.
My hometown as well, she is definitely cajun 🙂
Morgan reminds me of an actress from Chuckie the tv series
Since Rachel is your fav then you’re going to enjoy her Paul’ing her way to the end. I wonder if her cult be the whole house or just production? We shall see, so exciting.
My 3 BB pre-season picks this year are Zach, Jimmy, and Katherine.
And congrats to both my guys winning their 1st Challenges.
Mystery HG reaction — WHY??!!! Boy George already won this show. Send her out pre-jury this time!
Accomplice guesses:
1. Adrian — he’s a carpenter who’s built out the BB Challenges at home and practiced them. He came close to winning both the “Save Julie” Challenge and the HOH Comp. He came off full of himself in the pre-season interviews, but it makes sense if he’s the accomplice.
2. Katherine — her pre-season interview gave off “generic” vibes. Her intro skit gave a little more info of her background, but nothing in depth. She wasn’t shown connecting with any HG in particular. She was the 6th person to guess (incorrectly) the HOH Relic.
If it’s Adrian, get him out ASAP. If it’s Katherine, stay alive! I don’t think it’s Zach or Jimmy though.
Adrian also picked up that funky shaped bottle upstairs that was full of liquid saying how cool it was perhaps that opened the locked door that let in the horrid Rachel.
Rachel Riley?!? stab me in the eyeballs
Amy, the girl who talks constantly is the accomplice. She was one of the 4 that went upstairs to check it out. Also you can see her pulling out a remote when the lights go out.
It’s for sure a girl that declined to participate in the HOH (so 7 options) and I wouldn’t be shocked if it was Amy. Rachel taking her spot wouldn’t change too much age wise since Amy is 43 and Rachel is 40. Rachel very likely is much better at challenges than Amy though but there is no way she is as physically strong as she was on BB12/13. Like I would be shocked if she could win as much as before but I do hope she wins something and at least makes the jury.
Now I wonder if the houseguests will even correctly guess the accomplice. I wouldn’t care really if they failed but I don’t know what the producers would rather have happen?
I believe the accomplice is Amy I noticed that she put something in her pocket as well for the Mastermind I believe that it is Tucker or Brendan
The mystery theme is wayyyyyy better than last years AI theme.
I’m not a fan of its look! It looks and sounds like the devil to me.
New name debut
LET’S GO!
So far so good! Let’s hope the hacker’s accomplice doesn’t become a major flop like the saboteur from season 12
I like the new name.
I’m a big fan of Rachel so I really hope she goes far. As long as she is still in the game I’m watching the episodes!
I don’t think they would be smart to allow her to stay in too far but having her on the jury would be good. She would surely vote for who actually deserved to win. And I highly doubt she would actually be a threat to win the game again.
Plus any big targets should want to keep her around as a shield for them. I’d align with her for a while not just because I love her but because she could help me out.
I hope Vince sees her worth and goes after other people. I don’t even know who he will target but I can’t wait to read feed recaps on here/Jokers.
Rachel and a summer with her big ole breatsis. Yippie Skippy. Excellent photo choice from the past Simon. What was going in that image clip?
Like the way she squeezed her body into the mini rubber dress.
I’m SO happy all the clues for Rachel turned out to be legit and she is in the house again finally after so many seasons.
The girls this year are much better for me at least.
I really like Ashley. She got my top pre-season score from just watching the interview they released. Lauren and Morgan also got high scores from me so they would be my top 3 newbie girls.
Rachel is of course # 1 now but I hope she teams with them. Lauren especially seems like she wants to fangirl with Rachel so do it!
The top guys for me after seeing the pre-season interview was Jimmy. Keanu, Rylie, and Zae were next in line.
All of them did fine on the first episode, especially Jimmy by winning that hard competition, but we’ll see if I still like them in a weeks time and or if anyone else leapfrogs them on my personal list of favorites from this season.
Speaking of that are we doing the ratings for the houseguests this season? It always is interesting to see how loved/hated the houseguests are at any given time.
I hope this isn’t another neutered season… Rachel there gives me some hope..I’m just sick of the happy family hold hands kumbaya BS…I want to see old school BB…I want the house to spilt… I want to see some fights…crossing fingers Rachel shows em how it’s done.
Don’t know if I can stand to watch with Rachel there. Why oh why did they bring her back?
I’ll take Rachel over: Taylor, Angela, Frankie, Paul, Josh, etc
The overstated and overrated Taylor is not a hard choice to not want to see play again. It is bad enough that they have made her the jury host when she is bias and conceptually lacks the strategical understanding of big brother. In addition to probably appearing on CBS for these Friday episodes that they are going to have this season is as nauseating as her over inflated ego thinking she is the Big Brother goat.
Well damn….tell us how you really feel….?
So, you’re telling me you cheer on a snarky production-driven player like Taylor, who 4 years ago threatened someone on Twitter to take their life, that couldn’t even earn safety in the first week and tried to sex up ‘Dancing Elvis’ only to be declined? Lord, your taste in Big Brother is pure trash. You might as well get a thrill over a staring contest between mannequins. It is individuals like you who are lowering the standards of this show by elevating mediocrity to a gold standard. Taylor’s HOH’s or her equating hisam’s eviction as bad play by the professors when Taylor couldn’t recognize hisam devid’d himself. Sweet Jesus this isn’t just mediocrity you’re perpetuating; it’s truly poor performance being misrepresented as greatness. So stop glorifying such low standards.
agree with all those and would add Nicole and sleezy Mike.
THIS…… 100%
I think I know who the accomplice is. When the lights turn out, you noticed that Amy had her hand behind her back before pulling it out. I think it’s Amy.
My guess is Kat, she’s just so sus
Edit had the lean of Adrian and Ashley noms being a possibility (haven’t talked to hims and worries Vince would win included in both their d/r).
The streets have a lot of Any nods as accomplice. Why keep a loud motormouthing 40+ mom when Rachel is right there…. but please multiple cast bros is the unspoken traditional casting view on that.
They have likely formed 2,413 alliances by now.
I’m guessing Morgan is the accomplice…..would love to be a fly on the wall in that house with Rachel there, lol…. Hopefully she’ll motivate ppl to actually play the game & not hide in the fkn shadows… Riley looks much older than 27…hmmm
Obsessed with your name
I’m guessing Morgan or Zach
Jimmy and Rachel disagreeing right off the bat upon meeting and then again just as the credits were rolling has me LIVING.
Reagan pt 2.
So into it
This was my exact thought! Bring on the catfights lol
I’m betting Ragan would be of two minds today about this.
His most recent social media post paints himself as tired of that argument clip being dragged out for fifteen years. Not going into his reasoning or his thought process much because I don’t know if the accusatory parts are accurate
.
So maybe they’ll have a new clip to pull out.
The underlying issues Ragan has would likely still persist, but at least he wouldn’t view himself as an unwilling participant in what he would consider fake image manipulation by the network and show.
Hi Simon and Dawg! Glad we’re back. Good to see Rachel again even though Janelle had inadvertently already spilled the beans last week on X(Twitter)! Lol. Rachel is my only fav so far until I watch the Live feeds! Good to be back for another season. I sure hope they don’t bring Ainsley back lol
I don’t think the secret accomplice is Amy. She has too much Botox in her lips to close her mouth and keep the SECRET…Maybe Morgan. She is a gamer outside the house. Or maybe it’s the shifty eye big guy with the blonde locks.
According to Dingo, all 17 houseguests are still there as of today (Saturday) which indicates a majority of the house did not vote for the correct houseguest as the accomplice.
Is this written in stone? No.
Do i trust Hamsterwatch more than some baboon’s arse with an opinion that makes up crap just to gain clout or feel relevant? Yes. Yes i do. Track record should mean something.
Could sources be lying? Of course. But for now i’ll assume all 17 are stll in the house and 14 houseguests will be voting with Vince being a voter only in the case of a tie.
Do i want to see 14 stupid rehearsed hallway acts and hear 14 shout outs? Gawd no.
Is Rachel going to have some sort of protection since she joined late and was unable to compete in the HOH?
Every new season should be like BB19 from now on, bring back one returning houseguest & give them enough twists to make it to the end of the game.
Sounds exciting to me, let the new cast just be the jobbers for the returner to take out. Hey girl hey RACHEL…..#sarcasm
Rewatching ep. 1 with my kid, and my initial accomplice suspects are Ava and Amy.
I’ve read a lot of the “sus” behavior about both of them, and am leaning heavier toward Amy—but on rewatch, did anyone catch (around the 30 minute mark—I’ll try to screen grab later if I can), after Riley says he’s “only human,” there’s a shot of all the houseguests in the kitchen… except it ISN’T all. 15 are accounted for. Not in the kitchen? AMY.
This is just prior to the lights cutting out; could she be missing in all the chaos fetching a remote to cut the lights?
Hello everyone,
I am hoping someone would help me get access to the feeds. I’ve tried my usual tricks but they’re unfortunately not working this season. Paramount is being a real pain for us (Canadians) 🙁 I am hoping someone might be able to send me a virtual Paramount+ gift card that I can redeem for my feeds to use to post this season 🙂 I would really appreciate it! The virtual gift card can be emailed to my email ([email protected])
https://paramountplus.launchgiftcards.com/
Thank you in advance!!
Done!
THANK YOU!! YOU’RE THE BEST! I really appreciate it!
Hope more people follow. Appreciate all you do! Read every year but have never posted. Your note inspired me to give back for all the work you put in!
Thank you for coming back each year! Without your support we couldn’t do what we do! Looking forward to a great season!!
I’m so happy to know that you’re Canadian!
I’ve been reading your site since 2022 and when I got fed up watching last year, I just read all of it from here…..
Thank you!
Thank you for coming back each year! We appreciate it. Nice to hear you’re Canadian as well!
some in case you did not knows:
no recall, and no feeds live chat.
feeds on east coast will not start until after midnight if they are starting at 930 west coast.
last season we saw that the week one schedule for ceremonies and games was not the weekly schedule we are used to. Boy were houseguests shocked week two when they did switch back. That said: noms would have happened by Sat morning at the latest. Veto would have been played today at the latest. Veto ceremony will most likely be Tuesday around noon at the latest. The usual schedule is Noms fri, veto sat, veto ceremony monday.
expect quickdraw skippy to be trigger happy on the feedblock button for the first few days. The newbs in the house don’t quite get the don’t talk about production and people are watching and don’t sing songs we have to pay royalties to use aspect of live feeds yet… and Rachel never had a good track record in those regards so she won’t be much help.
I won’t be doing a play by play recap of the episode… i’m still in the middle of too much to do and too little time. same thing for charts right now. Way more than i’m capable of doing at the moment. sorry.
Just wanted to say that I’ve always enjoyed your take on things. As a fellow Canadian, it makes me stupidly proud to see how much respect you’re (mostly) given.
Thanks for your opinions, re-caps and comments.
Thank you! We appreciate everyone’s views and opinions. We’re glad you enjoy our updates!
Okay, this is where the feeds would have been good to flesh out the bathroom situation with Ashley: How long was it in between the times Ashley was in the HOH room,how long was she ACTUALLY in the shower, and does the HOH room have a shower stall or a shower bathtub
