Anyone else going to watch with me? First episode is Monday!
Also I am rewatching infamous season 6 and once again, so many cringe comments that wouldn't fly now. James accusing Howie of having "slight mental retardation", Eric saying it was super obvious that Beau was the "gay guy" but "who cares?", commenting that Rachel looked SO GREAT for being 33 (gasp). Yikes.
BB announced the players:
Cameron (BB25) Taylor (BB24) Britney (!!!) (BB12 and 14) Josh Martinez (BB19) Danielle Reyes (BB3 and 7) Frankie Grande (BB16) Cody Calafiore (BB16 and 22) Nicole Franzel (BB16, 18 and 20) Xavier Prather (BB23)
I hate that Nicole is coming back because damn does she bug me. And Josh. But I'm happy either way.

I’ll watch it. I’m not impressed by the line up, but it’s totally who I expected.

I'm going to watch. I'm hoping we get some hanging out/strategizing in addition to the comps because I'm really excited to have Taylor, Britney and Danielle together.

I enjoyed this more than I expected to. To me the only real casting miss was Cameron, and he's gone now. 😂
Danielle, Britney, and Taylor in the DR's are giving me life. Even Nicole wasn't bad. I honestly love her pettiness, and it's so nice she's kinda leaning into being devious, instead of her usual victim schtick in the diary room. I'm excited to see what's next!

I would love to see Taylor and Nicole team up to take Cody out. Revenge for cutting Nicole at final 3 and for talking shit about Taylor on his podcast. We love to see it.

I'm into it. They don't actually live in the house, they get to just film a day and then go back to their hotels which is nice. I know a lot of people don't care for Nicole but I like her. I like Cody more though- love him and Frankie. I'm glad they chose "fresh" people and not just the ones that have already been all over tv playing The Challenge.

I really really like this! My expectations were super low, so that definitely helps, but I'm living for the DRs and there is way more strategy than I expected!
This might actually be really redeeming for Nicole. She's never been my favorite, but it's the whiny feigned innocence in the DR that bothers me the most about her. I'm not seeing too much of that so far, so I'm enjoying her more than I expected.

This is a fun mindless watch for sure. I was oddly bummed that Cam left first but wasn't surprised by it.
I was very happy that Cody left but was wishing it was Frankie instead. Both of them I can't stand though, so there's that.
Still despise Nicole so I hope she or Frankie are out next. Then again Josh...ugh. Josh...
Basically I want it to be Britney, X, Taylor and Danielle at the end. Manifesting this now.

I feel like there's no way they (contestants or production) will let Frankie win. I know that Ariana's money isn't necessarily his money but there is no way he needs 100k compared to people like Danielle and Brittany.

Danielle and Britney are the only two besides Frankie that haven’t won, so I am fully pulling for those two above all of the others.

I’m also laughing that they have to compete in full winter fleece and shit. They are outside in LA where it’s highs like in the 70s every day still.

Britney said they had a crying laughing session afterwards over their over the top reactions 😂 I love that it’s just a short fun season that it sort of forces everyone to not take themselves too seriously. These alums, especially the OG alums, have been saying for YEARS that they would never come back for these long ass seasons, and who can blame them? But these little blips are perfect. The fans still love them, they still want to play and have fun… it truly seems like all the HGs had fun, and you can tell the fans are enjoying it too. I hope they consider doing something like this again.

I want Brittney to win - she is probably my all-time favorite. Her DR videos are epic

Ugh I am so bummed Danielle is gone but I understand why they did it the way they did. I liked that comp - I wish they could do something like that in the normal game somehow.
Fully rooting for Britney to win it all. Honestly though as long as it isn't Josh, I'll find it acceptable. I don't like Frankie but I like him more than Josh.

Seeing as Britney and Frankie are the only 2 non winners left, I already wanted her to win, but with Danielle out, I definitely want it to be her. I don’t think she has the best shot, but I really want it to be her!
I am so sad that she had to be the one to send Danielle home. I wish it had been the luck of the dice to send Danielle home, and not Britney. I hate that for her. Xavier totally screwed Danielle over when he told Britney he was trying to keep her safe. He didn’t leave her much choice after that.
I feel like there are clearer duos now in X/Taylor, Nicole/Frankie, and Britney/Josh. I still see Britney and Nicole together a bit, but let’s be honest, we know Nicole can hold a grudge and I don’t judge a 2 minute edited clip of a “makeup session” to have healed any bitterness Nicole still holds against Britney. Taylor is really upset Britney took out Danielle. I can see the next challenge being teams again now that they have even numbers again.
Britney, Taylor or Xavier winning > Frankie, Nicole, Josh

I hope they can do this again next year, since shows generally take the winter break anyway so they would have the airtime. Assuming more players would be interested again.
