8:38: Time for a “Big Brother” fashion show! The houseguests are strutting the runaway in designer outfits. The outfits seem to be connected to the upcoming HOH competition.
The first HOH competition is called “The BB Winter Gala.” Julie tells the houseguests that they need a “master of ceremony” for the competition. The person who volunteers for this position will have to sit out off the HOH competition. Todd Bridges offers to sit out.
The rules of this comp are simple. The houseguests are lifted into the air and they have to hold onto champagne bottles. If you let go and fall, you’re out. The first houseguest to fall is.. Chris Kattan. Cynthia Bailey falls shortly after.
8:45: The houseguests are doing a great job holding onto their champagne bottles! Shanna falls next, followed by Lamar. Oh no! Things are heating up! Production spices things up and decides to drop buckets of caviar on the houseguests.
Chris Kirkpatrick is next to fall. Carson falls next. Was it on purpose? It seems like it. He reveals in a confessional that laying low is part of his strategy.
8:50: There are only four houseguests left in the competition, Todrick, Mirai, Miesha, and Teddi. The next houseguest to go down is….Mirai.
8:55: Three houseguests remain. Time to start making deals. Todrick tries to make a deal with Miesha, the UFC fighter. The two agree to not put each other up. Todrick believes Miesha and drops. Teddi tries to make a deal but Miesha is not taking it. Teddi drops shortly after Miesha rejects her deal and Miesha wins! She is the first HOH of the season. Teddi is feeling unsafe going into nominations.
Julie tells the houseguests that she is about to reveal a game-changing twist. Wow! She tells the houseguests that there is another power up for grabs this week. She says she can’t say what the power is but she teases that the power is hidden in the “gala gifts.” She leaves the houseguests with an ominous warning, stating, “the gift will be a blessing to one and a curse to another.”
Wow! What a great first episode. Tune in tomorrow at 9 p.m. to see what power is hidden in the gala gift and to see who Miesha nominates for eviction.
