The new season of Big Brother begins this Wednesday with a two-night, three-hour premiere. Episodes will air weekly on Sundays (nominations), Wednesdays (power of veto) and Thursdays (live evictions). The season is set to last 99 days, the longest in Big Brother history.

The first twelve HouseGuests have been revealed:

Bridgette Dunning (24)


Bronte D'Acquisto (26)


Corey Brooks (25)


Glenn Garcia (50)


Jozea Flores (25)


Michelle Meyer (23)


Natalie Negrotti (26)


Paul Abrahamian (23)


Paulie Calafiore (27)


Tiffany Rousso (32)


Victor Arroyo (25)


Zakiyah Everette (24)

The remaining four HouseGuests will be revealed during the premiere. They are rumored to be:

ugh at those 4

All extremely boring-looking people.

Excited to see Nicole again but that's it. Frank Eudy? Really? Yuck.

Plus, Paulie is BB16 Cody's brother while Tiffany is BB17 Vanessa's sis. Great.

I pray this show is cancelled one day. Along with Survivor.

You might want to re-evaluate what you pray for in life.

They should never do a two-hour premiere again.

None of them seem likable so far.

Also, Frank? Really?

Oh , excuse me. I HOPE

I think we're rooting for Corey/Bridgette.

I think Paul is a punk ass bitch.

Tiffany is already so annoying and only one episode has aired.

It doesn't help that she has all the same mannerisms as her sister.

What? Tiffany is fine so far. Then again, I loved Vanessa.

Paul is a total creep.

Nicole's team BARELY lost ALL THREE competitions. HOW COULD YOU LOSE TO DAVONNE?!?!

Ugh, that pissed me off and we're only one episode in.

Feeds went live last night:

well that Paul info is discouraging.

I may be underestimating, I dunno. I don't think anyone really likes Paul, he's just not as much of a target as Jozea and Victor are.

What I can really tell so far is that Mama Day has majorly learned from her mistakes last season and is playing a much different game. Good for her.

When she first came back into the game, it seemed like she was ready to compete... but then they announced the teams and she spiraled to her old self. I'm glad she's getting back in the game, the returners need to stay at full capacity.

Actually, it turns out Paul is nominated for eviction too, along with Jozea and Paulie.

I think the competition on Sunday is a new power that allows someone to nominate a third person in secret, ala the MVP from a few years ago. Or something.

Useful rundown on the various alliances in the house right now:

Quick poll: Is Jozea the most delusional houseguest in BB history?

I am tempted to say yes.

This season is awful so far.

DaVonne seems to be playing a very good game so far. I'm kinda shocked.

I feel like Josea will be watching from home in a few days and still saying to himself that the house has his back.

I'm sure there have been times where a houseguest has been more delusional than Jozea... but dear god that man has no clue what's going on.

Anyone still watching?

Despite running through the motions already, I find myself very involved with the season as far as TV goes, although I have almost zero knowledge of feeds, except for Hamsterwatch. I have some I like, some I hate, and some I'm indifferent to. Basically, it's Big Brother.

Rankings (Based on Episodes Up to Thursday's Eviction):

12. Zakiyah - I have nothing on her and I only barely remember she's there every episode. Some float in a likeable way, but she seems to be there just for a summer vacation.
11. Corey - He's a tall, lumbering doofus who's the subject of a no-mance? with Nicole. That's all I got based on the show. Also not a fan of his old tweets using words like "fag".
10. Paulie - He's a better game player than his brother, and if he keeps good standing, he's a major threat to win it. But he's more arrogant than his bro (who I remember to be kind of likeable in a fairly goofy way) and his attitude could end up being his undoing eventually. Also, does this family own shirts or no?
9. Bridgette - I really want to like her, cause I think she has an adorably cute quality about her, but she hitched her wagon to Frank and that's a negative against her. Plus despite a big week for wins last week, she comes across more like a floater and cling-on that will be carried to the end. She needs to make bigger moves to be in contention for a victory.
8. Frank - Crazy how four years ago he seemed like a young punk, and now he looks like a weathered older man, albeit still a polarizing figure and now a bonafide creep. To me, it's never OK to touch someone else inappropriately without their consent, and that's just common sense. I don't care how many family members you fondle, it's not OK. That aside, it's hard to deny I don't love to hate him, but he's overstaying his welcome again.
7. Tiffany - I expected her to be a pleasure to watch, but she's been Vanessa 2.0 so far, without Vanessa's expert gameplay. I heard about some activity from her on Thursday though I haven't watched Sunday's episode as of yet. Still, I don't see my opinion drastically changing on her.
6. Michelle - Here's someone whose potential is big to be a snark master, like good ol Britney Haynes, but she's a disappointment so far. Still, I think there's a lot of potential here for a game player to emerge, once the dust of Frank vs. Da'Vonne settles.
5. James - James is lovable in every way, but I'm not sure I'm in love with his shtick this year. It's much of the same, although I love his relationship with Natalie. They make a cute couple that's fun to watch amidst the madness.
4. Natalie - Kind of interchangeable with James right now. They could make a power couple, although I'm not sure if they'll make it that far. Still, for some whose name I didn't know for two weeks, she's more on my radar and her lack of game so far is fine in the face of bigger game players who are a lot less likeable (Frank, Paulie).
3. Paul - Talk about a turnaround. There are no shortage of reasons why I hope Jozea or Victor don't come back, but I especially don't if it means Paul gets further in the game. He was one of my most hated the first two weeks, but with the loss of his buddies, he has become strangely endearing and I'm rooting for him as an underdog in the face of these warring veterans.
2. Da'Vonne - She's the reason to give veterans a second chance at the game. She is making the most of her return so far, although she's in a heap of trouble this week. Her ultimate undoing may be gaming too hard at the wrong time, although at least she's trying.
1. Nicole - I still love her. Same game as before just about, but I can't help but root for her. I'm probably alone.

I agree with you about Paul. Despised him the first few weeks, but since Victor started going, he's actually been likeable. I'm still a Nicole fan, even though she hasn't been great at being shady. Da'Vonne has been much better this year, but she still goes off the rails like the game is supposed to benefit her. I rank Tiffany near last because MY GOD I can't handle how much she is exactly like her sister. It drives me NUTS. Zakiyah is also near the bottom because while she is a super floater, she's also kinda a mean girl at heart. I feel Corey gets bad editing, as from what I've seen on BBAD, he's really not that dumb, old homophobic tweets aside. Paulie only seems more arrogant because his brother had a bigger "dog" in the fight. So he's the Alpha, while his brother was the Beta. Bridgette is too enamored with Frank to think clearly. IDK what Michelle even is. And Frank is just...

I think James/Natalie are adorable and I hope they win because of that reason alone.
