Big Brother 9 is Live! First Show Delivers Tons of Twists and Surprises!

Episode 1 of BB9 has just aired, and the way I see it, CBS has put in a ton of effort to make sure this season will be a ton of fun and will have more excitement and less downtime than last year. Lots of twists here, as the biggest twist, which some of us already knew, would be that the houseguests will be competing as couples...meaning they get HOH together, sleep together, and even get evicted together! Some things we didn't know were revealed, such as the fact that Jen and Ryan are a couple in real life, but will be hiding that fact while in the house! The REAL twist was on them, as it was revealed by Julie Chen, that they would NOT be playing as a couple, but their "soul mates" would be other people in the house! Jen ended up being paired with Parker, and Ryan with Allison. So now they have to hide that they're a couple, and also be paired with other people and play against each other...wow. Sharon and Jacob were revealed to be ex's, and did not know the other would be in the house, and they ended up being paired together as a soul mate team! Also, Sheila held nothing back in letting her feelings be known about her being partnered with Adam. She didn't care that the guy was standing right there while she complained that her "perfect match" is "tall dark and handsome." The first HOH competition went down, which involved the partners being suspended above beds and hanging on to each other, and of course Adam and Sheila were the first to go out, and they are the obvious team with numerous problems right off the bat, and it appears they may be going out in tomorrow nights episode. Parker and Jen won the competition, and 10 grand for being able to grab the heart pillow that was on the bed while being suspended. Whew. Tons going down, and we're only a short time away from the first Big Brother 9 After Dark! More updates will be coming, as we jump right into the swing of things, as no time is being wasted, and the first eviction will air tomorrow night (Feb. 13th) on CBS!
