Welcome to Season 8 of dumdumdum.....Big Brother!!
Flipit and Schoonie begin their IM session.
Flipit75 (7:06:16 PM): Ok, I am going to have to make my mom move her buns out of the living room. Visiting TX and all hell is about to break loose.
SchoonieR (7:06:35 PM): Okay, we should totally start from the top because I already hate like three people.
Flipit75 (7:06:28 PM): Ok cool, give me a sec.
Flipit75 (7:13:34 PM): My mom has to miss her law and order repeat for BB and she's losing it.
Flipit75 (7:16:03 PM): K. Got jelly bellies. Let's do this, mom wants her L and O back.
SchoonieR (7:20:35 PM): For real.
Cameras careen around the house. Flipit and Schoonie contract vertigo.
S (7:17:06 PM): Is it just me or are there like a million chessboards everywhere?
F (7:17:20 PM): Yeah. It's like symbolism, dude.
S (7:17:21 PM): I don't get it. Is chess, like, strategic or something?
F (7:17:38 PM): Get a scrabble board. I'd respect you more.
The houseguests make their first appearances.
F (7:17:23 PM): Why aren't there hotter people on this show?
S (7:21:36 PM): I do enjoy the pink bikini on Daniele, however.
Julie Chen makes her first appearance. Hi, Julie, and Julie's collarbone!
S (7:21:54 PM): The Chen is Chenorexic.
S (7:22:00 PM): Seriously, look at her.
F (7:22:17 PM): Julie Chen needs a sandwich. She looks like a bony bony bot.
S (7:22:16 PM): Someone needs to get her some soilent green or whatever the fuck she eats.
F (7:22:25 PM): Her wiring is showing. Check out that neckpiece.
S (7:22:30 PM): Remove the princess Leia collar from around your neck. Your rival, Jabba the Hut-bot is in the house, Julie! Watch out!
The rivalries are revealed.
S (7:21:42 PM): Only three sets of rivals? What a rip!
F (7:22:51 PM): Ew! Dirty Dick has a daughter???
Jessica makes her first appearance.
S (7:22:39 PM): I HATE JESSICA, like immediately. And seriously, how fake are these intros?
F (7:23:05 PM): I know! How were they all so shocked when they received their keys? Didn't they notice the camera crews following them?
Nick shows up. Flipit drools.
S (7:22:54 PM): Dude, he fished his key out of the WATER. But he did say 'It's on and popping' which gets points from me. I'm all in favor of dorky slang.
F (7:22:28 PM): I take it back about no hot people. You use your body as bait, and this fat fish is chomping. I take the bait, Nick!!
Jen appears.
S (7:23:22 PM): Jen's kind of hot, too. Hot girls this year!
S (7:23:26 PM): I'm not complaining about the girls, yo.
F (7:23:40 PM): Jen's a ho. You can tell.
S (7:23:48 PM): Apparently, she knows Chill Town.
There is talk about the twist throwing the players off balance. "They won't know what hit them!"
F (7:24:04 PM): Ugh. Dick. The house will know what hit them when they get to the doctor after taping. Ghonorrhea!
(Schoonie: Seriously people, he said this, IN ADVANCE. Swear to God and Dreamz and everything. He's magic and shit. Notify the authorities!)
Mike shows up, painting the camera. Well, that's ruined. Now the Chenbot will have to incubate another one in her belly and lay it and everything now, much like an egg.
S (7:24:00 PM): Are you supposed to wear all white when you paint? That seems...antithetical.
F (7:24:16 PM): Good for bleach. Oooh, Mike's much hotter with no shirt on.
Kail makes her first appearance, in front of the sign.
S (7:24:18 PM): Kail is sort of dorky.
F (7:24:46 PM): Kail scares the hell out of me. Her wack hick family runs that town? I am so sure. "I have to bring my Bible" ??? You will be the most popular housemate. Who doesn't love an uptight mom who carries around a Bible?
Joe receives his key in his salon.
S (7:24:31 PM): Does Joe work in a Mexican Restaurant slash hair salon? That's what it looks like. I'd like a perm, and also an enchilada combo. No mas!
F (7:24:55 PM): Joe says he's gonna blow the competition. I believe him.
Amber makes her first appearance, her kid's smile all up in her grill.

Well done, you two, although more Chenbot jokes would be nice. I especially liked how she started out the night with "BUT...for some"
As an out and prouod gay guy, 1) Flip-it is right about every gay couple looking alike and proving their narcissism and b) JOE NEEDS TO GO. I am not a fan.
Agreed that Danielle seems pretty cool so far. The ex-NFLer is hot, but I think I might end up liking the painter guy better, seems like the NFL guy might be a douchebag.
Also agree that I was disappointed Eric is "America's Player," but maybe he won't be so bad.
Chenbot is wasting away! Big change from the pregnancy rumors last year.

firstly, i think it's quite dumb to admit you've been a petri dish for gonorrhea...mom and dad must be proud.
and second....JORT....i assume you mean jean shorts? quite funny.
this season should be good. everyone is pretty annoying though.

Well guys, you have debuted very strong right out of the gate. Great liveblog recap.
I think we have the potential for a great season. Tough call as to whether Joe or Jessica will be the most annoying, but I can't believe either one of them will be around very long. Is Jessica really that dumb or is she doing a Janelle so no one takes her seriously? Nah, I think she's just an idiot.
I like Eric as America's player. He seems like a regular guy and reasonably intelligent. Also, because he's far from the best looking guy in the house it will be really funny if he gets assignments to hit on any of the hot women because he's really going to have to work for it.
Summer has officially arrived!

I'm happy about the twist too, but apparently Eric is being pretty creepy on the live feeds, so that's a little disconcerting.

The Chelmet was really...big last night. And kind of fluffy in a weird way. She looked kind of like she was a 70's news anchor with the aqua net hair helmet, except she'd just done something nasty in the dressing room with the producer right before the newscast. However, I loved the little smirk on Julie's face when she said the 1st "But First" of the season. Granted, it barely cracked the surface, but it was there. The programmers must have upgraded the Chenbot wit plugin during the off season.

Oh guys - please please please please PLEASE live blog the entire season! I loved it! I loved how you two played off one another. Can it ALWAYS be like that!
I posted in the forums that Joe looks like the singing demon from Angel, but that picture you have of him on the couch with flour on his face SEALS it - he is a dead on ringer for Demon boy Lorne.
Great job guys - I am on a BB high!

BTW, I totally agree that our favorite cyborg host is looking Chenorexic. With her head and poofy hair perched on that scrawny body she looked like a lollipop.

My partner and I laughed our butts off through out the entire episode! On most reality shows, I usually want to root for the gays but I have to endorse JOE MUST GO. He couldn't be any more annoying. Dustin is no Will Wikle, but I like the guy so far. I can deal with the open shirt... the kid is only 22 so showing off the chest hair is still probably fairly new to him.
I was also disappointed there were only 3 rivals. Luckily, Joe is such an ass there's little chance the original 11 will stick together. (Especially since they CAN'T since the 3 rivals are immune.) It's fairly clear Joe and Dustin aren't likely to kiss and make up, but I'm wondering if one or both of the other two rivalries will end up working together.
Speaking of Will Wikle, I saw him in NYC last month. We went to the HRC/Cyndi Lauper concert and Will was there with boyfriend Jason Bellini. Will still looks good! I haven't seen him on LOGO recently but he's let his hair grow out. They made a hot couple for a couple of really short gay guys. ;-)

omg! i love it--y'all should live blog the thursday night shows all season.
tinker--i was trying to find out who Joe reminded me of all night--he does look like Lorne, only i loved Lorne and i'm already hatin' on Joe. plus, i think the whole STD thing was a lie. didn't they say that Joe was the one who cheated--then he turned all their friends against Dustin? i can totally see that--but i wouldn't have liked him anyway cause he is really obnoxious. i also immediately liked Dustin, he just seems like a good guy--and i was impressed by the fact that he introduced himself to everyone, he even tried to shake hands with Joe, which came across as very mature--especially compaired to Joe's outburst.
i will wait to see how i feel about everyone else--except for Dick and Kail--they are already giving us "old folks" a bad name.

pq, if I hadn't already developed a strong hate for Joe I could almost feel sorry for him. Based on comments so far, on Day 1 he's already seemingly universally hated.
Haven't hated a reality gay this much since the whiny boy who did the Amazing Race with his mom a few seasons back.

'Jorts' is short for 'Jean Shorts', which are not allowed to be worn by anybody, ever. Well, anybody interested in getting any.

"Dick looks like Chlamydia."
"He does look sort of sickly."
"Sorta? He looks like a used condom."
Jesus, that is hilarious.

Did anyone else notice how Jessica kept posing every couple of seconds? You can strike any pose in the world and you still won't be cute. UGH. HATE.
There are no words for Joe except GET OUT. And not back to Chicago.
I actually kinda like Dick. I feel about him so far the way I felt about Boogie- repulsive and obnoxious yet extremely entertaining. I like Danielle too and felt bad for the girl...
I was hoping that Nick would be America's player to give him something to do other than stand around and look pretty and dumb. Eric creeps me out but I can't put my finger on why...

Great live-recap!
speaking of caps....
...Joe's nipples were outta control! I remember Jee (from "Ex Factor" season) had "canadian bacon nipples" as Justin called them....but Joe's got bologna going on!
OK now that that's outta the way....here's my thoughts!
1. Chenbot...gotta love her! Her hair looked slightly "chihuaua-ish" but whatever...she's CHENBOT!
2. The house...ehhh it's OK. Who really cares about the bed situation anyway, seems like all the houseguests end up sleeping in other beds, couches, HOH room by the end of the first week anyway.
3. First impressions---I really like Daniele, Jameka, Carol (doesnt seem so bad) and Dustin.
4. Who else thinks the beef between Carol and the blonde girl (name??) isn't real? Something just doesn't seem right, like they were both lying....what if they are secretly BEST friends?
5. How did CBS show upcoming previews already? how long have the guests been in the house?
6. I also liked Joe's "Zoolander Blue Steel" pose on the mushroom. I know keeping your head in one spot helps the dizziness....but he just looked goofy!

When I first saw Julie I shouted at the TV, "Jesus Chenbot eat a sandwich!" Her thinness makes her head and Chelmet look huge. Daniele has to be anorexic too. Kinda weird when the guys kept calling her fat and she looked like she believed them.
Anybody pitiful enough (like myself) to tune into the Showtime BB After Dark? It was chock full of footage, since it was the first night and eveyone was reluctant to go to bed...just a bunch of scheming. Actually, now that I think about it, that may be where I saw the guys calling Daniele fat.

I noticed Skinny Chenny right away, but My Husband said she looked the same to him. Maybe he's weight blind. That explains a lot.
Flipit,
Where ARE you in Texas? I'm gonna come over there and shake you. For this:
Nick shows up. Flipit drools.
Yuck. That guy's hair was hideous. It made me want to give MYSELF a haircut.
Jessica's voice made me ill. Yeah, one Megan Mullally is enough for the world.
Kail with her, "My family runs this town." and "Half the town works for me." made me want to slap her silly.
And Evil Dick? C'mon dudes. he's AWESOME! Best reality show comic relief since that tie-dyed fat guy on "Survivor!" Dick is funny. I laughed at almost everything he said.
Hurry up Sunday!

JORTS-Jeans + shorts...my 18 year old used this phrase a couple months ago. Not cool to wear these...
Carol. bia attitude
Chenbot..looks sickly anorexic.. will she ever be happy with her body? now that she is a stick her nose looks bigger guess she will need more plastic surgery on that face.
Is it necessary on live tv(not feeds) to talk about std's ect.. when kids like watching big brother...is there anything our kids can watch anymore???

ATCMurph,
I'm watching BBAD too - I say that as I sit here yawning. It's going to be hard to keep up with that during the work week.
You can come join us in the forums to talk about it. Live feed and BBAD talk is considered "Spoilery" so we can't do it here in the comments sections.
:)

Where are the comments? BB8 started 48 hours ago, but only 22 comments from the first gasm about it?
C'Mon, folks! Big Brother is what put TVGASM on the map, isn't it? (It could have been Survivor or Idol, but after so many years I'm pretty sure BB is what kick started the gasm...)
AMERICAblog.org often gets over 100 comments in far under an hour! Fellow Gasmers, please start commenting! I enjoy the comments more than live feeds!

DACOYLE........ there are plenty of comments on the forums area of TVGasm...
maybe you should venture to this part of the site to understand what we are talking about......
You are more than welcome and more than that.... you are expected to come to the forums to dicuss BB......
we have been waiting for you.......

Is it just my sexual frustration talking, or do ALL these guys give off a gay vibe this year? Obviously Joe and Dustin aside, Football jock = after class glory hole lover, America's choice = closet case "pronoun user", Evil Dick = plenty of sex in the mud and a few guys probably slipped in, bland guy = bland gay.

GIFF, I'm not a big fan of the PHP bulletin boards, though sadly from me the seem to be the current Internet trend. I do glance at the threads, though.
Fozzie: It wouldn't surprise me about the football guy or Eric, but I don't see it in Evil Dick.
