[00:00:38] Welcome back to the kickoff of Big Brother 26, the first of a two night premiere. As we met eight house guests and watched eight people compete in competitions here in just one hour of television.

[00:00:55] And we will talk about it all here tonight with the panel back with us to get the new season started. It's not AI. It's Taren Armstrong. Taren, how are you? Well, Rob, I do have to tell you something that I have been lying to you.

[00:01:10] I am in fact AI. What? No, no, not like this. Sorry. At least you're not blue. Yeah, you know, I mean, I intentionally left that setting off because I was also upset by it. Yes. OK, we will talk about it all, of course.

[00:01:33] Back with us, a woman who drafted last night and has three real life house guests in the draft. Unlike myself. Melissa Denny, how are you? I'm doing great. I got to see all three of my draft picks today on the first day of move in.

[00:01:51] So that was exciting. Don't love how they kind of divided it up, but you know what? Excited to watch. OK. And then here with us tonight, I'm a little a little concerned because you can't spell Mari without AI. It's Mari Forth. Mari, how are you?

[00:02:11] I'm good. I promise I won't turn blue on you. I found it very hilarious that you have two people on your draft. But they're great picks. Thank you. Thank you. All right. Well, yeah, if you didn't see the draft last night, we drafted 17 house guests.

[00:02:32] As Big Brother told us, there's going to be a 17th house guest. It could happen. They're going to vote it in. Big Brother is definitely going to vote in a 17th house guest. They've got seven. They've got a 17th house guest.

[00:02:45] Did they say house guests or did they say players? Hmm. Because now I'm now I'm going back and trying to remember exactly what they said.

[00:02:51] Because I'm wondering if they said because if they said house guests, then that makes it seem like, yes, that person will be living in the house. There will be some 17th person living in the house. But if they say players, then they have that like skirt around.

[00:03:02] Sorry, this is like my lawyer. I don't think they care enough. Melissa, no, we need a class action lawsuit. Can you get that going? Forget change.org. We are entitled to compensation. If they say players, it's like, well, AI is kind of playing in the game.

[00:03:18] Oh, we got played. All right. Spoiler way. Well, someone did. What the hell? Yes. What the hell? Oh, boy. I mean, Ainsley's playing, right? She's actually controlling the game. Let her cook. I don't think Ainsley is even going to be in the show anymore.

[00:03:37] No, I know. You think that's it? You think this was one and done? You don't think Ainsley, we're going to see Ainsley like every. I think Ainsley's gone. I think Cortana is here to stay. Yes. No, agreed. Because I mean, big brother Twitter.

[00:03:50] I don't know if you already saw it already was like this is some girl from Twitter or from. Yeah, take that. So she already is like a tick tock personality. I mean, I clocked immediately that it was an actress. Can we get an interview for her on Friday?

[00:04:04] I mean, I doubt it because I think they're trying to play up that Ainsley is this blue character. I'm blue. After this twist. Yeah, yeah.

[00:04:18] I feel like it's a way for Julie to not have to introduce like any competitions and just like have this AI in there doing all these like. No, I think that Julie is getting done dirty here that they already got the Julie hologram.

[00:04:32] Like I think that they're that like Julie is getting close to like they're just going to let her go. And then the AI hologram of herself, like the deep fake of Julie is going to take Julie's job.

[00:04:43] But now I think that's just going to be Ainsley's area now. That's not even going to be Julie Ainsley or BB. AI has taken over. They are replacing Julie Chin. She has lost her job officially to AIC. We we try to warn people about the day.

[00:05:00] I look like it's happening for us all. For those that didn't see, there was a promo release today where Julie introduced that there's a new hologram feature in the house and it had there was a hologram of her and it looked fairly lifelike.

[00:05:15] So I was very confused when Ainsley turned into an animation from like the 90s. Like what? Why? Yeah, like Captain Planet. Yeah. Yeah. So I don't know what's going on with Ainsley if we're going to see the artificial intelligence continue to be in charge of the house.

[00:05:42] But that's what we got here tonight. Eight house guests, the opportunity to vote somebody in like what would happen if there was one more vote for Ainsley to get in? That's what I was wondering. Yeah. I was like, I'm so glad you voted me in.

[00:05:58] But I've actually been lying. I'm not actually going to take part, but I'm not going to play. And those of you that voted me in, you're you're in luck. Mm hmm. Totally.

[00:06:08] I mean, to be fair, like everyone's saying, oh, well, we're rewarding, you know, that bad gameplay because we're rewarding the people who would have voted her in when really the good gameplay is to not vote her in. Which I do agree with. I do.

[00:06:23] But I think like I probably would have voted to let her in because I was thinking of Kirsten and I was like, oh no, a superfan, her dream. I would absolutely feel devastated if I didn't let this person in.

[00:06:36] Even though that's a bad move, I probably would have voted that person in. Kirsten and Ainsley have something in common that maybe they could end up striking up a friendship over this.

[00:06:44] That's what I was going to say is that Ainsley is probably more likely to be an ally of yours just on like age and like sort of demographics alone. So I think that's a positive for somebody. Yeah. All right.

[00:07:03] Well, first of two nights, we are locked and loaded. We've got a full summer here of Big Brother coverage coming your way.

[00:07:53] You can get the Big Brother feed, robinswebsite.com slash BB feed. OK, overall, how was this premiere? I mean, Big Brother premieres are always pretty rough. This was the first time in the last couple of years we went to from a live premiere to a pre-taped Mari.

[00:08:13] Thumbs up or thumbs down? Thumbs confused because why did we go from a live premiere just so we could still get a pre-taped Mari? We'll see everybody do the exact same challenge over again. Like, oh, we did it purely for the DRs? Is that what you're telling me?

[00:08:31] Like, I didn't I much prefer day one, night one feeds that I don't care. I don't think a premiere is ever going to be like, wow, oh, my gosh. So I'd much rather still take a boring premiere and get night one feeds than this.

[00:08:45] Do we know when they moved into the house? Was it Tuesday? I think it was last night. I guess it was a quick turnaround.

[00:08:52] This was sort of like a pseudo live premiere, I guess, if they did it last night and they had to turn it around to get to this.

[00:08:59] So I guess I can understand why it's not edited as much as like some of these old school first night premiere episodes. And I guess when the feeds come on, we won't be that far behind where they were when they moved in.

[00:09:14] Yeah, at least it's not a whole week, week and a half or whatever, but still. I think my biggest complaint with it was that I don't like dividing up the two groups of house guests.

[00:09:25] Number one, because I feel like I want to get to know everyone right away. And also the fact that like, OK, so we're just having a repeat of tonight, like tomorrow night.

[00:09:36] Why do I need to watch? You know, I just feel like we're going to do this competition eight more times. We're going to have this exact same scenario come up where some AI comes.

[00:09:44] Like this one, it was like you think that it's one thing and oh no, it's another thing. But now we're going to see that again. And we already know the result is that some people are going to be punished and some people aren't.

[00:09:54] And we're just going to watch them do these competitions again, maybe different competitions. We're like, oh, OK, cool. Taryn, you think we're getting different competitions? I think we're getting the same competitions again. I think there's a very real chance that that happens. Yeah, quite unfortunate.

[00:10:08] Now, I do think that we probably will end up getting some kind of like a faceoff between we saw McKenzie end up being the winner of the people that voted. Yeah. Like are they going to are the new people going to have to vote for Ainsley also?

[00:10:22] And if so, then we see then everybody else compete. And will we have the winner of night to compete with McKenzie to be the H.O.H.? Oh, I would hate that. I would absolutely hate that.

[00:10:36] Like if everybody doesn't get a chance to be that for the first H.O.H., that would be horrendous. Yeah. Yeah. Just like they did on BBK. Oh, my God. No. Bad.

[00:10:50] It's just it's disappointing to me. So I'll say like the first half, I really enjoyed it because I do like watching the intro videos and I like seeing them in their natural environment.

[00:11:01] You know, it's a little different than just watching the interviews that we've seen so far with the house guests. So I did really like that. Plus, it's a classic Big Brother. They get the key and everything. It's it's classic.

[00:11:12] Oh, my God. And then I liked, you know, the I love when they go into the house and they see all the rooms for the first time and they're trying out the beds and they're talking to each other.

[00:11:20] And you get the little D.R. clips of them being like, I really like so-and-so or whatever. So I did like all that. But my least favorite part of Big Brother is the competitions.

[00:11:29] And then once again, we're forced to what I really thought, like, OK, because this one is pre-taped, like we're not going to have to watch all these competitions like do them over and over.

[00:11:37] And once again, we have to watch like two competitions with a bunch of people competing in them. And I guess like I do want to give credit that like these competitions were evenly matched, like anyone could win.

[00:11:50] And it was just kind of like you still got like the funny reactions of them, like seeing the bugs or whatever, the snakes. And so you there is something more to it than just like, OK, plug in these numbers or whatever.

[00:12:01] But it was it is a lot to watch over and over again. And yeah, to me, it just is not entertaining. Taryn, I thought this was A.I. A.I. doesn't have any better ideas than the regular Big Brother producers? No, it's trained on the Big Brother.

[00:12:18] Ah, that's what it's been watching. Twenty five seasons of Big Brother. The could have shown like reindeer games or something. That would be good. Yeah. I hate that they keep doing these ones where they spin them around and spin around. I get so motion sick.

[00:12:35] Like, I mean, I'm even motion sick watching them do that. So it is it's not for me. And I'm pretty sure Julie said, like, tomorrow we'll watch the next eight face the exact same question. I'm pretty sure she said that. She confirmed it.

[00:12:51] So but she also said, I feel like at the beginning of the episode, she said tomorrow night is also going to be like something like the premiere to remember. Like she really, like hyped it up. Like it sounded like tomorrow something big was going to happen.

[00:13:05] I have a feeling it's going to be a different person. Like it's going to be another person being like, hey, I'm trying to get it. Oh, and and then it's going to be the same. You're watching another video.

[00:13:19] Like, I don't think we're going to have to watch Ainsley's exact video over again. Like, I think it's going to be like a guy saying, like, can I come in? Oh, yeah, they got it. Yeah, there we go. That's what I was going to say.

[00:13:31] And you'll have Aiden do it and then maybe there'll be two similar competitions, but different. So that way it kind of mixes it up a little bit. But I have a feeling it's going to be like this same structure. Yeah.

[00:13:43] OK, so that was sort of the the downside of watching the same comp. We did get to meet the eight house guests who were in the house. We did get to meet the eight house guests who came in and we can talk about all of them.

[00:14:05] Anything else we should set up before we talk about the eight house guests? Just the fact that nobody wanted to enter the house first. I love that.

[00:14:17] Yes, that was, I mean, I guess, you know, we complain about the recruits, but I guess people know enough about the curse of being forced into the house. I think they picked the four. All these four super fans to go in first. What happened? Probably the cruel.

[00:14:35] I think they were the only four that would have done that. Yeah, I love it. After you. That was really great. Lucky Tucker was there. We would have been sitting there. Yeah.

[00:14:49] But I did like how they also then gave him a DR to explain it because otherwise it looks really weird. Like to someone who doesn't know that curse, they're like, why is no one going in the house?

[00:14:58] I'm pretty sure it was featured on either last season or the season before. I think it came up with the season with Michael that he didn't want to go in and Daniel Durstin like clocked it. And so that was a factor in Big Brother 24.

[00:15:13] It's officially like episode canon now. So it's much more accessible. But right, isn't it that in Big Brother Celebrity, it got broken? Was that right? But episode watchers would not know. Right, right. So and also, you know, I think a lot of fans make the distinction.

[00:15:29] Big Brother proper has not had it happen. Mm hmm. OK, all right. Let's talk about our first eight house guests. We got to meet Robina first and would love to hear if Robina lived up to first impressions. Mari, did you have any thoughts?

[00:15:48] We got to talk a little bit about Robina last night. You have any thoughts on Robina? Yeah, I really liked her. All of her interviews like I thought she was very bubbly. So that definitely came across in the premiere. I really I really liked her personality.

[00:16:04] I don't think she knows a lick about Bibi, but like, you know, it's still fun. But I didn't realize she was she was four nine. I was I was surprised. I was like, oh, my gosh. But yeah, I really liked her being I thought she added.

[00:16:19] She told us she was big. She's a big sis. Yeah, right. She did. So far, I like her in the D.R. a lot. Like as well, I feel like they're going to really feature her because she's like kind of funny and clever. And she's very animated.

[00:16:36] So I think she'll be a D.R. favorite. She was a D.R. favorite just in the premiere. She was doing different voices. Big Brother. She also made this noise. Yeah, she'll be in the D.R. a lot. Yeah. So she's a D.R. favorite. I like her.

[00:16:58] I mean, kudos to the producers. And I don't say that often for the for choosing the groups, because getting the four super fans to go first so that they were all trying to let each other in first was very good.

[00:17:07] And then very clearly to me, they put Rubina in the group with the two like six people. Yeah, the photo of it is so funny. It's so tiny. It looks fake. It looks like it's been altered or something. Yeah. That's great.

[00:17:25] She's not here for anybody who's mansplaining in the Big Brother house. So give that a minute. Sure to happen at some point. She'll have a lot of targets. A lot of targets. All right. So Rubina, she's here to fight. OK. We got Cam.

[00:17:43] We got a little bit of some different sides of Cam than we didn't necessarily get from all these preseason interviews. We heard about his football playing. He's a physical therapist, but also got to see the side of him about how he likes crystals, likes to meditate.

[00:18:01] I liked his intro package a lot. I feel like I was not a fan of him. I said it last night on the draft that like I just felt like, OK, he just is there to make friends.

[00:18:10] And he hasn't given me anything about strategy or how to play the game or anything like that. He seems like a nice guy, but like I'm not I don't know anything about him.

[00:18:18] And I feel like after watching that intro package, I feel like I know him a lot better. I really liked that they like had his dad talking with him. I don't know. It felt more genuine than some of the other packages we've seen. I really liked it.

[00:18:29] I felt like I got to know more about him, which I don't feel is very doesn't happen a lot when we get these intro packages. I feel like a lot of them are very like staged and like, look at me.

[00:18:43] But I really liked him more after watching it. Terran, do you have anything else on Cam? Listen, I felt very good. All three of my players were in this first half as well. And I think both of my players did the best in their half of the competition.

[00:19:00] And then and then the other one I thought was very promising. We'll talk about chemo soon, but I agree. I think Cam was he feels exactly what I would want him to be as a player in the sense that he could like just do really well.

[00:19:14] And I'd probably root against him because he'd do too well. But, you know, we'll see. Yeah, Cam's from the D.C., Maryland, Virginia area. So shout out to him for being near where I live from where I live.

[00:19:30] I am glad that we got a lot of these intro packages felt a little bit different this time around. I think they're starting to really nail it. It didn't feel fake. We didn't get anybody like it didn't feel staged like people at those shooting range and stuff.

[00:19:45] Like it really did feel like people were in their element here. So I definitely like this and Cam, Cam. Great start. You know, great start. We'll see how it goes. We got to get McKenzie, who I think was a little bit of a mystery to us coming in.

[00:20:00] But I feel like, Taryn, you ended up getting McKenzie pretty late in the draft. I feel like you probably have to be feeling pretty good about McKenzie. I do. I did not realize that she was 6'2", as they pointed out in the show.

[00:20:15] And I picked her because she seemed athletic. I didn't realize she seemed that athletic. But the thing about being that athletic is that like it can put a target on you, but it can also signal to people that you're an asset to their game.

[00:20:31] And so as long as you're able to get in good with people socially, I don't think it's like too significant. And, you know, already she is, you know, I guess the quickest to choose colors. So we'll see how that goes.

[00:20:46] But I would say again, I think like she seems like she will be popular quickly. Yeah. I think. She talked about a potential showman, but also then told us that she's looking for a guy who is at least 6'5", that from the guys we've seen so far,

[00:21:03] she's looking for a guy who is at least 6'5", that from the guys that were left out of the house, is there somebody who is very tall? We don't know. Can we petition them to put heights on the bios? I would have assumed Cam was the tallest.

[00:21:21] That's what I thought. Just on vibes. Vibes alone. Matt could be tall. Matt for sure. Looking at my list from yesterday. I don't think anyone's 6'5". I'll tell you that. Yeah. We still have to come in. Matt, Cedric, I don't think is a 6'5". I don't think so.

[00:21:48] Hmm. Yeah, I don't think so. All right. So maybe either no showmans or she's going to settle. We'll see. We'll see. Just put on some heels, get up to 6'5". For the guy. If you're dedicated enough. If you wanted enough. Yeah. Kenny's married, right?

[00:22:15] I love how we're like matchmaking here, trying to find her a good match. Oh boy. All right. Let's then talk about Joseph Rodriguez. Okay. I think that this was about what we expected from Joseph. Mari, you haven't gotten a chance to talk about Joseph yet.

[00:22:38] Yes. His intro was very funny. Hit the running, the running and the wheezing after the running. I see. This made me like Joey Rodriguez. I'm trying to get over that. I'm sorry. I'm a little scarred, so I'm still trying to get over the name.

[00:22:57] But other than that, I really like Joey Rodriguez. Yes. Yeah, I know. Joseph, I know. Being on Twitter for that reveal was nuts. But like, I loved how funny he was. I like how he said, like, he's like very unassuming. He's a super fan.

[00:23:17] He thinks he has a strategic chops, like all the stuff that he does. All the stuff that I think you guys correctly were able to identify in the draft. Call him like a Matt Hoffman-esque. But I don't even think he comes off like that anymore.

[00:23:31] He comes off more like a goofball, even more to me now. And I love seeing him in his video store, which is not an adult video store, everybody. Get your minds out of the gutter. So I thought this did really well for him.

[00:23:45] And then him, what I could only guess was strategically picking yes was such a really good intro for him. Because everybody else was like, oh, I feel bad for her. I'm going to let her in.

[00:23:58] And it seemed like he was just like, I don't want to piss off the producers. Yeah, I like this. This was good for Joseph. I thought it was a very charming intro. I think like, it is, I think, what I expected.

[00:24:11] But like nailed it in terms of that. Usually it's not quite as good as you hope, but I thought it was a very fun intro. And I'm very hopeful for him as a character.

[00:24:23] And yeah, to Mari's point, I don't know that, I don't think it was confirmed in the episode, but I definitely got vibes that he picked yes strictly in the hopes that it would lead to like a good result for him.

[00:24:36] Which would make sense that he took a gamble on that as a poker player. So I would like to get some kind of confirmation. I wish it was in the episode itself, but definitely curious to find out. Yeah, I liked him a lot. I liked his intro package.

[00:24:50] I feel like I liked the fact that he was like, I recognize that the mustache makes me look like a villain. So I kind of need to play opposite that. Yeah, everything about him so far. I'm, I think he'll be a fun, interesting character.

[00:25:06] And I think he's like, got his mind in the game. So I am excited to see. I hope so. I got a lot riding on this, Melissa. Oh, it's okay. All right. This pic's gotta come through for me or I'm really screwed.

[00:25:22] Hopefully the house guests tomorrow night vote the 17th player into the house. The actual 17th player. Who I drafted. Yeah, you took a big gamble. Yeah. Let's talk about Angela, who got a lot of attention tonight. The real estate agent.

[00:25:41] And we thought that, boy, Angela's gotta have a lot of things go right for her to make this work. Do you feel like that Angela stuck the landing so far coming into the house? I, listen, it's hard to say.

[00:25:58] It's very early, but I think she's got a lot of things going on. I don't, for me, this was not the right direction. And, you know, like no shade to her. Like, I think she starts from quite a deficit.

[00:26:13] But, you know, she's already getting comments about her and her energy. And I think that that's like not the best thing in the world. Yeah. Yeah, I feel like she came in a little too hyped and a little too like screaming in every room

[00:26:31] or like high-pitched, like, you know. And so I do feel like it was a little, maybe a little much. And like maybe it's just first night things and it's, you know, she's just very excited to be there, which I totally get.

[00:26:45] And then like after today, it'll be like, okay, we're all calm, we're good. And she'll like kind of ease into like relationships with everybody. But yeah, I do feel like it was a lot for one night, for sure.

[00:26:57] Yeah. And I feel bad because her, you know, her intro package had the audience, everybody was loving her. You know, she said her line, cool mom, you know.

[00:27:08] And I'm happy for her and I'm happy like I love seeing how much she's wanted this and that she finally got it and she's in the house. But this is an edited show. This isn't live.

[00:27:21] So them putting in those DRs about people saying, commenting on her, it's not a good sign. Chelsea roasted her later on in the episode and was going on about how like Angela was just all over the place.

[00:27:37] And it was really off-putting and she could feel like the heat radiating off of Angela. And I just think that coming in as a house guest that is a little bit older than the rest of the group.

[00:27:49] And I think that Tiffany in BB23, like just did such a good job with this that you just you can't come in like off the bat and be like the other from the rest of the house. Like, yeah, yeah.

[00:28:03] I think you really need to like make sure you are like integrating into what the rest of the house is like. And it just doesn't feel like that Angela's on that trajectory. Yeah. You have to match the energy.

[00:28:15] It's like it reminds me of like Derek and BB16 or whatever where it was like he was like, OK, here's who I'm with. I'm going to kind of need to like tone it down and be youthful and wear this hat all the time or whatever.

[00:28:29] And just kind of like put on this persona of this is who I am. I fit in just with you guys. Like we're totally the same.

[00:28:37] Yeah. And I feel like if you're if your energy is up here and everyone else is down here, it's it just it puts a target on you because you're the different person and you're just an easy like, oh, well, she doesn't fit in.

[00:28:50] So we'll like and I hate to say that because it's like that sucks. But I am a little worried for her. But, you know, who knows what's going to happen? We have more people coming into the house.

[00:29:00] Yeah. I mean, we've talked about this before, but like basically, you know, through no fault of your own, some people have less room to be themselves essentially. Right. Like that's true for Angela.

[00:29:15] It was true for Taylor when she was in the house for very different reasons, of course.

[00:29:20] But like, you know, some people, whether it's because you're older or because of whatever reason, you just have a narrower window for like I'm willing to like operate as though you're on my level. And if you go outside of that narrow window.

[00:29:40] Yeah. I mean, hopefully, hopefully, you know, the feeds will come on and she's right along in there and everybody loves her calling her mama Angela and saying we don't want to get rid of her. Like, you know, maybe we're just doom and gloom in it.

[00:29:58] But yeah, it did seem it did definitely seem like she just kind of rubbed people the wrong way, which is very, very unfortunate to see so soon. OK, we have Kimo who came in, Taryn. You took Kimo with your first pick last night. Good night for Kimo, right?

[00:30:15] Yes. I loved his intro. It was very emotional, but also very sweet. And and he said exactly what I wanted him to say, which is like, I know this game really well, but people are going to underestimate me because they're not going to think I do.

[00:30:30] I think I do. Right. I love that. I loved his like reasoning with like the decision for the vote and and, you know, the fact that he did want to let somebody else in first. Kimo, I think was great. I also here's here's something else.

[00:30:48] We haven't talked a ton about the competitions yet, but like something that that stood out to me with Kimo versus somebody like Tucker, who also knew about the first incursion.

[00:30:58] Is that Kimo understands the meta of competitions on Big Brother, which is that like if you have a competition where you're running from one station to another station, you need to be running from one station to another station and being as quick and frantic as you can because seconds matter.

[00:31:18] Kimo understood that. And Tucker didn't. Tucker was just kind of like, oh, yeah, I'll just mosey on up to the board. And he very nearly lost the competition because of that. So, you know, looking for any little thing. I'm just continuing to be impressed by Kimo's knowledge.

[00:31:35] And I think combined with his hopefully very fun personality, I think we're in for some good stuff. Yeah, really nice story that Kimo told about how he got into Big Brother. His brother got him into it and then his brother passed away from cancer.

[00:31:53] And so that he is doing this and I'm sure that his brother would be thrilled to see him make it onto the show. So a really nice story to get from Kimo to open things up.

[00:32:04] That was such a great story. Such a great intro package. I really liked him a lot. I liked when one of, I don't know who it was, his relative was like, don't let people borrow your clothes.

[00:32:16] Oh yeah. I think that was grandma. And yes, she said, hey, no matter, remember, don't let anybody borrow your clothes. Like that's the big takeaway is like, don't let anyone borrow your clothes. Why?

[00:32:30] The bear shirt. Right. They borrow your clothes and they vote you out. They keep them. Oh wait.

[00:32:38] I like Kimo a lot. I feel like I'm excited to see what he can do. I said this last night in the draft, the fact that he was calling out like Andy and June as inspiration for the game or favorite players or whatever.

[00:32:51] I really loved that. So yeah, I'm excited to see him play for sure. And he seems like a fun personality.

[00:32:57] Yeah. I drafted him in my little draft, my Randy draft, you know, because I love Kimo's energy from the start. Him being a native Hawaiian. I know what that Aloha spirit is. I know what he means by that.

[00:33:13] And if he can bring that into the house, which I think he can, I think he's going to be here for a long while. He just seems like one of those people you want to be around.

[00:33:21] And the touching story on top of it, I was like, come on. Whoever said in the draft, oh, Taryn just won. I thought the exact same thing. Oh, here we go. I'm sorry. I hate to say it. Puya overthought it because Taryn got it. We all got it.

[00:33:42] Puya was going to, we knew Puya was going to take Kimo and he talked himself out of it. Listen, if you guys want to concede early, I will accept your resignation from the draft. I'm sorry. You know what? We should just do the whole thing over, frankly.

[00:34:01] Let's just start over. Let's start over. I'm going to be rooting for him.

[00:34:05] Yeah. Now that we know everybody, we should maybe do it over. Okay. All right. Let's talk about Chelsea because I think that Chelsea might be the person who, I think we got a little bit of a mix up.

[00:34:17] A little bit of a different intro package than we got from the interviews. Now, I think there were some internet detectives that might have been a little bit ahead of this, but we found out a lot about Chelsea's mentoring and what she is doing.

[00:34:41] We knew she had a nonprofit, but I don't think we actually knew the details of what she was up to. I didn't know she was an athlete. That's huge.

[00:34:53] That's what I like too, Taryn, because she did say that she wanted to be a comp beast in her interviews, but finding out that she was a D1 collegiate women's basketball player, I was like, oh, she really might have shots at these competitions. She's actually an athlete.

[00:35:11] Yeah. Her preaching and stuff, okay. She would have done great tonight if she hadn't messed up. I was so mad at her. You got to pay attention to the rules, y'all.

[00:35:29] I think depending on what this downgrade to her game is, as long as it's not something social, if she can at least compete to save herself, she has a really good shot of staying for a while. She looked very athletic.

[00:35:50] She did seem to get a little frazzled in the comp, though. If you don't have the clutch gene, it might not work. That's true. I don't think she bombed the comp. She just messed up.

[00:36:06] At the end of the comp, she didn't know what she did wrong. She forgot to plug it in. Who among us hasn't been there? Why isn't this thing working? Did you plug it in? It is very much the most common issue with podcasters. Is your mic plugged in?

[00:36:26] So we'll see with Chelsea. The postseason God 101 could be lit this season also. Oh God. Yeah. A lot of people willing to go on that podcast. It's worth noting, I think, that religion has played a role in strategy in the past in Big Brother.

[00:36:53] And so if there are a lot of religious people on this cast, it's something that could come up. So worth putting a pin in. I will say that I did get very nervous when she was like, I'm super religious, etc.

[00:37:07] But then when she said, this is a game and this is not going to be me outside the house. Outside the house, I'm this person. But inside the house, I'm actually going to play.

[00:37:17] Then I was like, oh, okay, good. Because I get nervous when they're like, I'm not going to go out to my values and I'm not going to lie.

[00:37:24] I'm going to be the first person to win and play an honest game. You know, that sort of stuff. I hate that stuff.

[00:37:28] So I did appreciate that she was like, I'm leaving that outside the house. And in the house, I'm going to have to ask for forgiveness afterwards. So I was like, okay, this girl is still willing to play. I can still be okay here in the draft.

[00:37:43] Okay. One last person. Tucker, Melissa, your number one pick. How did you feel about seeing Tucker in person? I feel like his intro package wasn't as good as I thought it was going to be.

[00:37:57] I feel like and maybe it's because the other intro packages, I feel like I learned way more about them. Which part? When he drank out of the river? That was a glacier. Glacier.

[00:38:08] So that was fine, Rob. But it was more that I did feel like there was more to him in his interviews than what he shared in the intro package. It was like, I like to adventure or whatever. And it was like, okay.

[00:38:20] But I and like the fact that he was like, oh, I'm a marketing sales rep or whatever he said. And it was just kind of like, okay, I don't know. That stuff to me is like, it doesn't give me that information.

[00:38:31] It doesn't give me a lot. So I did feel like his interviews were way better and gave me way more fuller package. And also, I feel like he was funnier in his interviews. And then he was kind of just like, for his intro package and in the show.

[00:38:46] So far, obviously, we're so early. Like you're not going to I mean, you're not going to have everyone be a Rubina.

[00:38:52] But I do think that, you know, hopefully his personality will come through and he will be like, I just wasn't getting like the Jim Carrey vibes that we were all getting like during his initial interviews.

[00:39:06] I think he looks like Jim Carrey. I don't think his personality is like Jim Carrey.

[00:39:11] No, no. I just meant like the facial expressions and how he's like kind of like out there, like the way he talks is just very like I'm Italian and I'm also like doing these weird facial expressions.

[00:39:21] Like that is what we were getting in the interviews. And this time it was kind of just like very normal, which like maybe that's a good thing. I don't know. But I guess it's already good that him and Cam were seemingly like bonded already.

[00:39:33] They were like, oh, we'd be friends right off the bat. But I think Cam did say he seems like, what do you say, a snake or something? Yeah, like he's got something. I think I think he noticed the wolfiness that I was a little concerned about.

[00:39:48] But like I don't like seeing more of Tucker. I don't think he feels that wolfy. I think he just like kind of looks wolfy. Kind of just like has has a little bit of the vibe.

[00:40:00] The more you see him, the more you're like, oh, maybe he is just a goof. So, you know, I don't know how much of a concern it will be.

[00:40:08] And I think that like, you know, I'm optimistic on Tucker. I think that like I think he can be very funny. I think that the interview is probably a little bit more natural, Tucker, than like the package.

[00:40:23] Which is understandable. I'd like, you know, it's you're going to be putting on a performance. It's worth noting that like it's most people are very bad in the D.R. at first because they're getting used to like, can you say that again?

[00:40:39] But more entertaining. So honestly, I felt like he was pretty, pretty good in the D.R., you know, considering. So, you know, we'll see. I'm really sitting here trying to remember what was in his intro package, and I cannot remember anything other than him.

[00:40:57] Yeah. When Rob said that, I was like, yeah, that happened. I literally only remember him like making faces like near a railing he was leaning up against. Like, I don't know. It it definitely did not help.

[00:41:11] I think every everybody else's intro packages were much better than than he did talk about his dad being gay and how that brought his family together, which like, yeah, that's I mean, that is something we did already know from his intro or his videos or interviews or whatever.

[00:41:31] So we already that wasn't like new information, whereas I do feel like Kimo gave that news story. Cam gave that news story, which like obviously most the audience has not seen all the interviews that we saw. So this will be new information for them.

[00:41:45] But just for me, I what I didn't learn anything new about him just because I had already heard about this. So so the house guests are going to come into the house.

[00:41:53] We talked about the first in a curse and the little bit of the awkward moment that came out of it. Tucker ultimately does it. He says if the Red Sox can break the curse of the Bambino, he's from Boston. He can break this curse also.

[00:42:09] Melissa, as a Tucker drafter, are you scared off by the curse of the first in? Nah, no. To me, I think Tamar already broke it. So I'm a little bit thinking that it doesn't really matter anymore. I mean, we'll see if he goes out first or something.

[00:42:30] Someone make sure to record that clip. Oh, God. Yeah. If you believe in the curse. I think it's over. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy. Didn't it take like 80 years for them to break that curse? I think so. Yeah. Big brother 80. It's coming. It's coming. Yeah, figure it out. Okay.

[00:42:58] Julie sends everybody out into the backyard. So you're about to make a game changing decision and it's time to meet Ainsley. Ainsley, 86 years, Sam tells us for the Boston Red Sox. Okay. All right. Everyone will see coming. Taryn, was this twist unseen? No. Was it unseen? Not unseen.

[00:43:24] Did anybody on the panel? Did this where were you thinking? Okay, this is a real person. No, I tweeted it. I was like, it's clearly AI. Well, I didn't know it was AI, but I was like, I mean, I assumed that that was going to happen, but I.

[00:43:43] This MF-er is not real. Basically, the people in my chat as I was watching live on Twitch were saying, we're debating. Is this just an actor or is it entirely AI? That was the debate. Yeah. I thought that for a second. I was like, is this person AI?

[00:44:05] But I was like, it's too good. Like they don't have the budget for this if they were trying to get like really AI, but like a deep fake or whatever.

[00:44:11] But she was just very stiff and was reading off paper, which at first I was like, okay, maybe they had her prepare something to say like a little intro of like, because, you know, they had to record this little intro video to present to the houseguest.

[00:44:28] So they probably told her like, come up with something to say. And so at first I was kind of buying it. But especially when she found out she wasn't getting in and she was just like, oh man. I was like, okay, this is definitely an actor.

[00:44:42] She did great. No, no, I'm not saying that she's a bad actor. It's just that you can tell when someone like I've seen a super fan get denied their dream live on TV. Yeah, I know what it looks like and it doesn't look like that.

[00:44:57] So yeah, that to me was just like, oh, okay. It was just too much. It was too much like the hair, the blue hair, the shiny outfit. It felt like a set up. I like that. I like that it felt like a set up personally.

[00:45:11] It gave enough hints for a player like Joseph to conceivably call their bluff. Right? Like, I like that personally. Yeah.

[00:45:19] You know, I think that if it was more convincing, then we start to get into like Jeff Probst smashing the hourglass territory where like we're just lying to people now. Like we're just doing that. Yeah. Yeah. It was like I can see that there.

[00:45:34] Like it was just enough to be like, I don't this doesn't curl all the way over, you know? And I don't think they did that intentionally. But I like that it was bad. Yeah.

[00:45:44] I still don't I don't care if I would have known or not, to be quite honest. I still would have voted no. So that I don't like that, you know, but I'm not about to I don't I don't care.

[00:45:56] I'm not about to say, yeah, one more person come try and get my money. I don't I don't I don't know. I don't like it.

[00:46:02] They didn't really seem to incentivize anything unless you just like read that this is like super fake and maybe felt like, OK, well, like you were like four steps ahead of production.

[00:46:13] I don't know why anybody would want Ainsley to come into the house unless they just felt bad for her. Yeah. I mean, my logic was in the moment. There's no way they expect us expect us expect them to vote. Yes. They expect this to be no.

[00:46:31] So then the calculation is. Is it better for me to do what they expect and say no, considering that's the better strategic move, if it were real?

[00:46:43] Or should I do what Joseph said and call their bluff and say yes, the non-optimal play in the hopes that like they're screwing with you and that that's actually the better thing.

[00:46:54] And the way I would have done it is I would have just said no, because it just makes more sense. And like it's easier to explain afterward because I don't have to lie about what I said. Like it just makes more sense to me to just say no.

[00:47:09] So I would have been punished. And, you know, I think if Joseph did call it, man, if he didn't, we're talking a lot about that. If he did like kudos to him because he gambled correctly.

[00:47:20] OK, well, Ainsley says, OK, now you have to feel my wrath because now I'm pissed. OK, the people that did vote for me to come in, you get to play for a reward.

[00:47:32] And the people who voted against me, you have to get some kind of a punishment in a different competition. And so is this is this a message from our like future AI overlords? You don't vote for them to play?

[00:47:50] Yeah, like everyone nowadays who's like, oh, AI is running for something. I'll consider it. I'm saying there's like everyone hates AI. Everyone's trash talking AI.

[00:48:03] And I think this is a pretty clear message like, hey, when we take over, we're going to remember who was cracking jokes on a podcast about us. You know, there's going to be jokes that get upgraded and some people that get downgraded.

[00:48:19] And it just comes down to the actual vote. Yeah, you can make a joke. I think they have a good sense of humor. Ainsley, they do. They have great senses of humor. They're also great entities. Yeah. Robots always do like a laugh, like ha ha ha ha ha.

[00:48:37] Like robots, Taryn. Come on, you know exactly. I am one of them. I identify. Mm hmm. I drafted AI. Come on. Look, I did one for the chat and one for the overlords. This is what I was saying.

[00:48:57] If I had known you were AI, I would have voted for you. Mm hmm. I'm a pro. Why did you just tell us we would have done it then? OK. All right. So we got the two competitions.

[00:49:10] I will say the like Gravitron spin around centrifugal motion like astronaut training machine. That was a pretty impressive build for Big Brother. Yeah, I it may be impressive, but I hate it because it gyroscope. Gyroscope. Somebody say it was like like something you'd see in like Disney World.

[00:49:34] Mm hmm. Like a Disney like a Disney ride. I thought it was very equitable. I buy the second time I was like, yeah, let's go. Yeah. Blue, green, red, yellow, red, blue, green, blue, green, yellow, red. Angela, the poor Angela Marie. Oh, wow.

[00:49:52] Not going to actually fall on to the button or did she like she didn't even she only got the one right. I think Angela thought the competition was just to name all of the colors correctly. Poor thing. Yeah. Did you like that?

[00:50:09] We bounced back and forth between the two different comps. Better that than consecutive. Yeah, I would have just let her bang it out. Really? I mean, if it was the same one four times in a row, I feel like that's worse.

[00:50:23] We literally saw every second of every person go like it wasn't even a montage. Like why didn't you give us a montage?

[00:50:30] I do feel like it would have been easier for me to know who was doing well and who wasn't doing well if they were like back to back to back. Like as much as it's not as you were busy, too, by the way, they did it.

[00:50:42] I was just like, I can't watch. So then it's like, OK, I don't know who's doing well. I don't know what's happening. And so, I mean, that's also on me because I don't really pay attention to the competition. So I didn't really know what they're supposed to do.

[00:50:54] But I it was easy. It would have been easier for me to know, like, oh, this person did well. Like, I'm glad they said like this person lost or this person won or whatever. So that way I would know. But yeah.

[00:51:07] Melissa, what do you think of the second competition? The one with the bugs and snakes and stuff? Yeah. To me, I was thinking about it and I was like, I would have wanted to stay in those little bubbles and look at all the bugs and snakes. Wow.

[00:51:23] I don't know. For me, I'm very intrigued by bugs and things like that. So I would have wanted to look because I know that they wouldn't be able to hurt me. Yeah. So I'd be like in a close enough space that I could like really observe them.

[00:51:33] Stick your head in the terrarium. Well, I just wouldn't want to be I don't want them climbing on me.

[00:51:38] Like, that's the one thing is like I really like to look at bugs, but like I don't want them on me or like flying in my face or anything like that. So like that would have been a perfect scenario for me.

[00:51:49] And I would not have been scared to look in there or whatever. It seemed fairly simple. I think the main challenge was. Plugging in the wire. Also, yeah, plugging in the wire, I guess. But also, you know, if you are scared of that stuff, like that's the challenge.

[00:52:08] Like, I'm not scared of that. So I would have been like, cool. I'd much prefer to do this. It was just a speed competition. Yeah, it was a speed competition. And I think this the scary element of it kind of fell flat.

[00:52:20] I don't think anybody even had much of any reaction in there for exactly what the reasons Melissa pointed out, which is that like. It's like you're at the zoo or something. It's not like.

[00:52:30] Yeah, it's not like you're putting your head in a box and they're like flying around you like that would freak me out. I wouldn't do that or like sticking your hand like I don't want that. But just observing from. There's a barrier. Like no problem.

[00:52:45] And then all it was was a word scramble. I was like, boom. Like, I love that. I'm like, I play New York Times every day. Like, you weren't all. Yeah, exactly. I hate scorpions. And I was like, yeah, I'd do that. Like, yeah, not too scary.

[00:53:02] Ultimately, what are we thinking? It looks like that it's Chelsea who's done the worst and then it is McKenzie who's done the best. Yeah. The thing for me is like I think we'll I think they'll probably find out that Chelsea did the worst.

[00:53:21] But McKenzie theoretically now has either a secret power or the potential to get a secret power. I think they did mention secret. So like, yeah, who knows? But that but but like with only four people competing, it is hard to keep that a secret.

[00:53:39] Like it's very easy to be convincing when you're telling the truth. And so like, for example, if you're Angela, you'd be like, I sucked at that. And I think people would probably believe her.

[00:53:54] So then already it's down to three people now and they all did relatively equally as well. They all seem like they could do relatively equally. And for somebody like McKenzie, who, you know, I think seems very athletic and like she'd be good at challenges.

[00:54:10] You're probably kind of assuming it's her anyway. And so if she's telling you, no, it's not me. You're one of three people that is potentially lying to to another person. Like if I'm questioning all three of them, each one of them is saying no.

[00:54:24] One of them is lying to me. I'm a little less likely to trust any one of the three of them unless they tell me the truth. But did did Julie say the vote count at all or like because nobody should know what anybody even.

[00:54:35] Oh, that's true. Actually, no, that's a good point. They knew it was four for but they don't know who went to each one. Yeah. And also, I do. That too should be easy to figure out. I do feel like it's not like a super athletic competition.

[00:54:51] Like there is memorization to it. So it's possible that it's not just the most athletic person gets it like. Yeah, but you still assume it usually. It was more like running back and forth or something maybe.

[00:55:00] But it does feel like, you know, she could just say like, oh, I'm so bad at memorizing stuff or I get bad motion sickness and then she could lie about it. Yeah. So they don't they don't know which one did which.

[00:55:13] And I don't if you're I'm assuming if you get a downgrade, you definitely don't want to know and want anybody to know you're at a deficit. I hope it's not like a game breaking like downgrade or anything like that. Like, I don't know. I think the nomination block.

[00:55:28] Yeah. It's likely to be nearly impossible to pretend you did the competition you didn't do because you didn't do it and other people did. And so you're like, oh, yeah, I did. I did the upgrade one. Oh, yeah. What was it?

[00:55:43] How about we just not nobody talk about it? Like, I'd be like, let's not talk about, you know, Julie said secret for a reason. We got a couple of questions from the chat here tonight on night one. And how about a question from Cupcakes for Nice?

[00:56:01] Sarah Cupcakes wants to know, instead of fixing the competition so there would be less gender disparity, did Bibi just cast women who were amateur athletes? I mean, fair enough. I mean, at least we have that. Yeah. One step closer. That's how they did it.

[00:56:17] That's how they made Bibi 20 the most gender equitable season because Casey and Angela were just cleaning up. Mm hmm. OK. Josh has a question. Do you think that the Ainsley twist would have actually worked if Bibi did not tell us the theme of the season was AI based?

[00:56:34] Did they tell the house guests or was it just not a surprise to us? I don't know. But I'll say again, I don't think it was a surprise to us. Or was it just not a surprise to us?

[00:56:44] I don't know. But I'll say again, I don't think it was supposed to or maybe it was supposed to, but I don't think it needs to trick us. And I don't think it needed to trick them either.

[00:56:51] But yeah, I do think I would be less inclined to think it was fake. Yeah, if I didn't know. I mean, I think after the vote, I would have. And when she said like, oh, that's too bad. I would have been like, yeah, for sure.

[00:57:05] This is not a real person. But I think initially, I probably would have thought, of course, Big Brother is going to like want to vote someone in the house. But I would have been very surprised that they just let the people vote.

[00:57:16] Like I mean, like I said yesterday on the draft that like, there's no way this person's not gonna be let into the house. The producers aren't going to allow that. They're not going to like tout this like, oh, 17th house guest and then be like, oh, guess not.

[00:57:29] Never mind. Twist is over. So. OK, the question from Han. Do you think that Ainsley will stay till jury? How about the whole AI theme? Mari, what do you think we're doing with this now that they established it?

[00:57:44] Honestly, I just like I'm starting to kind of think it's just going to be like some hosting gigs, maybe like the night interruption comp. I don't I don't think it's going to be. They're not going to be a player.

[00:57:57] They did say they were running the house for the summer. So maybe they'll give them like tasks to do or something like that. I don't know. I think it's going to be here for the long haul.

[00:58:08] They did a pretty good job last season of keeping the theme consistent throughout the season, if I remember. Yes, we hated it. It was like it was bad, but they did. They were consistent with with the multiverse and stuff like that. So I'm scared.

[00:58:24] I don't know what's going to happen this season with this. Yeah, it does really invite them to make a lot of adjustments and things. Yes. Yes.

[00:58:36] I think it's possible that there's a competition like each week that's like some sort of like punishment, not punishment thing or whatever, something like that, like benefit punishment. I don't know. Every week. I think we're missing the obvious here, Rob. Yeah. Get ready for a takeover! What?

[00:58:57] Not yelling. One time and then nothing further. Yeah, let's do some AI takeovers. AI takeover. All right. Get us ready. So that'll be good. Microcosm. The question from Kay Killen. Does Rob automatically win the draft because there's no way they can evict the AI?

[00:59:22] Oh, that's a good question. I think so. I think so. Probably right. It's not about being evicted, it's about winning. All in agreement that Rob has won now. Yes. Okay. Miss Fange says, will it take 86 years before a women's alliance actually works on Big Brother? Hey, hey.

[00:59:42] Please no. Yeah, shout out to Jim and Allison. Okay. All right. And Hannah's asking, do we think Ainsley will actually affect the game? Will they collect data on the housecats throughout the season and give information to the HOH? I mean, it's much like actual artificial intelligence.

[01:00:02] Like the devices are listening to them constantly. Yeah. And she did say she was learning that that was one of the L's and when she broke her name down, I wasn't sure. I don't know the rest.

[01:00:14] Yeah, I don't know the rest, but I do think she did say that she was like adapting from taking the data from the housecats. Again, I'm scared. I'm not willing to give in to the AI overlords. I'm sorry, Taryn. I'm a fighter. I'm going to resist.

[01:00:34] I'm going to resist. We'll just remember. Call me John Connor because I'm not giving up easily. Yeah. I'm a time travel element. That's way more present to risk. Yeah, that'd be good if somebody came back. That is a good twist for maybe next season.

[01:00:51] BB27, like somebody's come back from like BB89 and is like, we had to come back. It's a good twist. Back to the future. Yes. All right. Did anybody that they teased for night two entice you with their little snippet? I hated that they gave us a snippet.

[01:01:12] Why is that the snippet? We're going to see it again tomorrow. Well, I wasn't going to watch tomorrow, but I guess you've intrigued me.

[01:01:20] Yeah, I feel like if I didn't, if I was a person who didn't know who the cast was and I was a casual just watching the episodes, I feel like I would not want or I would want to snip it, but I think it'd be better if they didn't give me a snippet.

[01:01:34] So that way I'd be like, oh, I have to see who's on the cast tomorrow. Like, that's so exciting. But now I'm like, oh, okay. So that's who they're bringing in. I can't wait to hear Chubby Chaser again, basically. Right.

[01:01:50] That would be interesting, although I don't feel like there's any match. Sorry, Leah. Unfortunately. Okay. All right. But, you know, maybe she'll have a lot of fans. Maybe. Okay. All right. Anything else heading into night two? I'm just excited to get the season started.

[01:02:14] I wish we had feeds already. I'm very excited. I can't wait. So, yeah. Yeah. I really just wish this was a two hour premiere. Like, honestly, I wish we already got to the goal. I wish we could have been starting the feed tonight. But, you know, I'm excited.

[01:02:30] I'm cautiously optimistic that we won't get the exact same premiere tomorrow. Yeah. Hopefully. Got a question from Maggie in the chat. Rob, can you explain Chubby Chaser? Tune in tomorrow. Yeah, please. Tune in tomorrow night. You're not going to give us a tease of your explanation?

[01:02:52] My son already asked me. Oh no. Okay. Big Brother did move Big Brother up. It's on a 9 p.m. time slot so they can get a little more risque. Do whatever they want. Do whatever they want now.

[01:03:05] Do you have a guest per se who could possibly explain that phrase as well? No, I think I'd like Rob to explain it. Yeah. Okay. All right. So there you go. All right. So we'll be back tomorrow night, 10.15 p.m.

[01:03:20] Eastern Time on Thursday to talk about night two. And then, of course, it'll be just a couple hours from then until the live feeds kick in. Of course, subscribe to our YouTube channel by clicking that subscribe button.

[01:04:18] We took 20 of the most well-known people who have at least said they like Survivor at some point in time, put them in a Brand Steele, and it was wild.

[01:04:28] Myself, Mike Bloom, Shannon Guss got into that earlier tonight on our Summer of Survivor series which is Wednesdays at 7pm. If you want to join us the rest of the way before the Wednesday night Big Brother. Then Claim to Fame is back.

[01:04:44] And then tomorrow morning join Jenny Autumn and Pouya as we talked about the second episode of Claim to Fame which aired earlier tonight. And lots of fun talking about Claim to Fame.

[01:04:59] Taryn, a little show called The Getaway from the creators of Jet Lag you and Sasha are covering. And it looks like you got something fun for episode two. Yes. For those that haven't seen Jet Lag on YouTube, it's basically like Amazing Race combined with Taskmaster.

[01:05:20] But the point is that the people that make it, including Adam here in the thumbnail for this video, are great game designers. And that's coming from me. You know how much I care about that.

[01:05:32] I care about game design a lot. And they make really interesting strategy games, social strategy games in the case of The Getaway, which is over on Nebula. So we've been covering The Getaway. It's a fun show where it's basically like it's like The Mole.

[01:05:50] But if everyone was The Mole and nobody knows that everyone's The Mole, they all think they're the one, they're the star of the show, The Mole. But it's actually all of them. But still, actually a functional social strategy game. So definitely check it out.

[01:06:04] Adam came on the podcast to talk about some behind the scenes stuff as well. So very fun stuff going on over there. OK. And of course, check that out. I was at coverage of the Netflix Mole also this week as we close that out on RobinsWebster.com.

[01:07:07] OK. Mari, what's coming up for you? Well, of course, over on the Recap Kickback, me and Chappelle are at Westeros, baby. Yes. Maester Mari.

[01:07:59] We just had the aforementioned Chappelle on to talk about the Man with a Thousand Kids. It was a Netflix docuseries. It was wild. So and we had a blast yelling about it. Basically, we're just yelling about it the whole entire time.

[01:08:18] So go check out that crime scene episode. You could go to Rhap has a website dot com slash crime feed to listen to us over there. So lots of good stuff. Glad to be back.

[01:08:29] Yeah. Glad to have you back, Mari, for the premiere. OK, Melissa. When are we going to hear from you again? More Big Brother stuff. I don't know. Whenever. So far, I'm still here. So I will be on when I am on.

[01:08:46] OK. All right. Looking forward to next time we get to chat, BB and then Taryn. OK, Alma, it's almost go time. It is go time. We're going. I've got a little plushy of my kitten that you can buy that you can buy for yourself.

[01:09:05] The link is on Twitter. It's OK if you don't buy it, but we will remember. So I'll be streaming on Twitch all season long during the episodes. Come and hang out. It's a good time.

[01:09:19] We're also doing some scripted shows. We started a podcast recently called The Tastemakers where we're talking about the other things that are on TV when Big Brother is airing. So tune in for that as well. Over at we know scripted TV.

[01:09:34] Yeah, that's it. Rob is a website that comes scripted for all of the tastemakers, all the House of the Dragon coverage, which is reaching a fever pitch here. Only a couple episodes left. You want to make sure that you catch all that if you're just jumping back in.

[01:09:51] And then we brought scripted TV podcasting back home to RHAP. That's all at robis a website that come scripted. Thank you so much for joining us here tonight for the premiere. Take care of a good one. Bye.
