BIG BROTHER PHOTOCAP: Season Premiere! Chenbot! Janelle! [faints]

And suddenly, just like that, our summer has once again fallen under the spell of Big Brother. Yes, Julie Chen and her beguiling sartorial decisions were back last night with the premiere of Big Brother 14, which saw the return of many of our favorite things: idiots, silly challenges, and, of course, an epic twist. This time around, the producers again called upon four of our favorite cast members of yore, but unlike last year, they wouldn’t be competiting with the newbies. Instead, the All-Stars would be serving as coaches — the new trend in reality TV. Waltzing back into the house were Dan (winner of season ten), Mike Boogie (winner of All-Stars), Janelle (winner of MY HEART), and Britney (winner of biggest idiot that we still loved anyway). Actually, Britney’s not an idiot, but she was rather naive in her season to have been bamboozled by the Brigade — the most successful and least charismatic alliance of all time.

Anyway, the vets each got to pick teams of three, and then in a cruel twist, the Chenbot made one of the coaches oust a member on the spot (well, after a lengthy mattress competition which managed to lure me in despite its ridiculousness).

Well, Dan’s team came in last, and as a result, he sent sweet, normal Jodi packing, which seemed horribly unfair. I actually detest when reality shows kick off a person or a team before the game gets underway. Not only are the producers robbing these poor fame whore wannabes of their dream, but they’re kind of depriving us a chance to enjoy a potentially fun “character.” Then again, in the case of Jodi, I think we probably didn’t miss out on much. She seemed entirely too nice and normal.

Meanwhile, Britney took her first step towards redemption by having her trio take home victory in the competition. As a prize, she was allowed to pick which of her ducklings would be the first HOH of the game, and intriguingly, she selected Willie, brother of Russell Hantz. Here’s the thing about Willie: he’s opted to follow his nephew Brandon’s strategy by pretending that he wasn’t related to Russell. Unlike Brandon, however, he simply cannot pull it off. I mean, the guy looks, sounds, and moves like Russell. Everyone could see it. Of all the silly things that Big Brother contestants attempt to conceal (I’m looking at you, KAIL — multiple business owner!), this seemed to be the most futile.

Nevertheless, Britney sussed out that people suspected duplicity from Willie; so she gave him immunity so that he’d have some time to build relationships and earn trust. How this will pan out is anybody’s guess, but I’m enthused to see a scheming asshole in the house.

Other noteworthy newbies were Ian, our resident dork who actually seems quite likable (for the moment). I enjoy his cocky edge and rumpled appearance (which looks not unlike a pale version of Michigan J. Frog without a top hat). Also landing on my radar wash Ashley, if only for her exuberant announcement that “I’M A MOBILE SPRAY TAN TECHNICIAN!” Or whatever it was she said.

I feel like we’re not supposed to like JoJo, but I appreciate her ‘tude (after two seasons of meek contestants, it’s about time we got some edge back in the house). Frank’s hair is more transfixing than I ever thought it could be (although, it frequently looks like a tumbleweed attempting to tumble off into Texas). Joe, the chef, appears to be the most annoying of the brood, thanks to his Guy Fieiri-esque demeanor and stupid soul patch. It’s not really a patch. More like a line. Almost like someone decided to give his chin a Brazilian.

Then we have Wil with one L. I expected to find him totally unbearable, but I’m happy to report that he’s only slightly unbearable. Good on him for being not AS awful as expected. We also have Danielle, who I imagine will spend much time crying and being sweet, which I generally hate. I sort of was hoping that she’d be gone first, but I guess her and her ten layers of makeup will be around for at least a few more days.

Anyway, on to the photocap!

  1. Curse you for making me laugh on the bus like a crazy person. Your photocaps are always one of my favourite parts of BB.

  2. I liked the premire, but I don’t understand this coach thing. Can they get voted out? Can’t the newbies form an alliance against the coaches? Can a coach get backed doored? I just don’t see how this will work, wouldn’t it be natural for the newbies to stick together, same with the vets? Maybe I missed all that.

    1. JL how the coach thing goes is they dont compete for HOH of things like that. They are there just to coach there team and if there team member wins the whole thing then they get $100,00 and once there team is all gone they leave the show. That is how it was explained. I hope that helps you

  3. Britney tells us that she is not going to let those men bamboozle her again dagnabit .. and then proceeds to get bamboozled by Willie AkA Lane2.

    WTF is going on with Boogie’s face.??

    Dan, baby – youse in trouble.

    So good to have Janey back bitches.

    hb

  4. OMG I was hoping you’d be back. This photo recap is my fav thing to find after a show. THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!

  5. I cannot wait until we know the contestants better and you can really put their voice to the pics. HILARIOUS!! I am still laughing about Kalia and Oprah, Brenchel and their Pookie fight or whatever…. yea!

  6. So good to have your BB Photo Cap back. They are better than watching the actual show!

  7. It isn’t summer without BB and these photocaps.

    So glad Janie is back. What was Dan thinking picking only women for his team?
    Every time I look at Boogie I want to take a Silkwood shower.

  8. from everything i have gathered between watching a little bit of big brother afterdark, and reading a bit of joker’s, it sounds like after a few weeks, they are going to let the coaches back in as actual players, too! which, really, is no big shock to me in the least.
