Big Brother Thoughts: Premiere Night

Publishing Note: I am pausing my Midweek Material series for the next few months to relaunch my Big Brother Thoughts series. Picking up from last year, as a former guest (and winner), I will be sharing my thoughts on the 25th Season. For a primer on the show, check out CBS’s website. Essentially, sixteen contestants compete to vote fellow guests out of the house with the goal to be the last person standing. I intend to watch the eviction shows and post my thoughts shortly thereafter. Note: this series will be based solely on the TV episodes (I will not be tracking the related “Live Feeds”). We start with last week’s premiere.

Thoughts:

• Firstly, one hundred days in the house is going to be challenging to say the least.
• On paper, I think Matt, Mecole, and America appear to have a good chance to go far.
• Cory may be the youngest, but his public speaking background should be a strong asset.
• Red seems like a character. He’s got the one-liners, though we’ll see how far he can go.
• It will be interesting to see how Cirie’s Survivor game translates to Big Brother.
• As always, CBS said it has lots of twists coming so it should be a very entertaining season!
