This new season (the first to air in a non-Summer time slot) will also be the first to force the house guests to act as pairs instead of individuals. For the first time, all the house guests are single and in their 20s (expect for Sheila who is 45 and kind of a bitch) and are paired up with another house guest who is deemed their "soul mate." The mates will be working as pairs and will compete together, vote together and get evicted together, too.
As per the norm with Big Brother, the house guests are always told to "expect the unexpected" and this new season is no different. 2 pairs of house guests actually knew each other prior to moving into the Big Bro house. Ryan and Jen are a real-life couple who are in the house together, but NOT paired up with one another. The other house guests also don't know that Ryan and Jen are together. In another twist, exes Jarod and Sharon are paired up together, but didn't know that their ex would be joining them in the house. Juicy! There's already a bunch of tension and arguing and we've only seen one episode so far.
This season's most hated house guest is clearly going to be Sheila, the oldest and grouchiest member of the cast. As soon as the "soul mates" were announced she launched into a rant about how her mate "is not even her type" because she likes "tall, dark and handsome." Granted, her 29-year-old partner, Adam, did call her "Ma" but she was quite vocal about her dislike of her match. Sheila- did you forget that you are on a reality competition show and not The Bachelor? I have a feeling she and Adam will be the first to go at tonight's eviction.I'm going to avoid posting about Big Brother each week (it's on three days a week, which is a bit much) but I'm sure I'll drop in an occasional recap when things get interesting.
