Many people think it's because he's on AGT and it's a contract issue, but HOW did they not already know this? There is no way this can be the reason. No way. Right?! One of the RHAP people theorized that AGT found out from the cast posting and their lawyers said he had to be pulled. Which would make more sense since I doubt CBS would hunt into whether his other contract precluded him from being on their network.

Random, but I always notice as they're walking into the house for the first time whether or not the guy holds the door for the women.
I like how bright and colorful the house seems.

I always chose one person at random that I think will win. (I've never gotten it right) This season I choose Amira. But I think many of them look super likeable to cheer for.

That was a complicated 1st episode. The competition was so many parts and I am only 30% sure I understand the twist.

Also I really like Julie in purple. Not sure I like anything else about the dress, but the color is 👍

The understanding of the twist that I walked away with is that our vote could very well be pointless. If it's a traditional week where they run noms and veto with the eligible players, and the veto isn't used, the safety vote will be for nothing and possibly just paint a target on a likeable player. Unless there is ANOTHER twist where they only end up voting between the unsafe players but that seems really dumb if they're still running the other comps.

I also just watched the Challenge and I enjoyed it. I've never watched the show before but since I watch the TAR, BB and Survivor and know a lot of the players, I tuned in. Glad to have another summer show!

I wish they would shorten the length of the premiere because this first episode is always sooooo drawn out and confusing. The whole ticket thing was a waste of time - they could have just been randomly assigned a group. Plus it was the lamest reveal ever lol No sounds while the machine “read the ticket”, no sound when it was revealed on the screen, half the players weren’t even looking at the screen, no one knew where to put their tickets after they used them. I’m bummed that the 3 people picked were girls, but I guess it doesn’t matter if it all means nothing come Thursday, which is a definite possibility.

junch817 we definitely could have saved half an hour if they would have just let them pick a spot at random without the tickets.

We watched yesterday. I don't know about this season, but at least the contestants seem decent.

Watched on a slight delay last night - the house looks cool but still in dire need of a makeover, not just the color updates. I liked the competition, but I hate the way the HGs were added to the stations - so many other ways they could have gotten them split up. I wonder if Pooch (lol to that name every time) couldn't hear Julie very well - that chair wasn't hidden, and he walked by it twice unsure where to go!
Watched Challenge ep, too - it's slightly jarring to see faces from a few shows I watch all in the same series. I am all for the randomizer teaming pairs up!! That's gonna get gnarly.

I agree with all of you that the competition was so stupid. Both my H and i were like "why are they wasting SO MUCH time" regarding the scanning of the tickets. They should have just had them in envelopes so they could open and walk to the place they needed to go. Also it seemed like they were grouped based on room which is why they all grabbed the same ones in the same place and ended up in the same competition, so maybe BB should have spread all that out a bit. Very anticlimactic, lol.
I am glad Daniel won though, because after that Twitter tea, I REALLY did not want Turner to win the first HOH.
I feel like most of them seem super blah so far, but I know that will change. I think the Backstage Boss thing is stupid as hell and I hope it is done within the first few weeks.

I don't love the live premiers. I know it's the trade-off for night 1 feeds, but it just feels clunky and slow.

It appears the girls don't like Taylor- Alyssa and Paloma in particular.
