The Big Brother season 16 premiere just finished airing on CBS! Read our recap to find out what happened when the new houseguests entered the compound.
At the start of the episode, fans got to meet eight of the house guests of Big Brother season 16. Paola feels that her career as a DJ, which has given her a thick skin, will help her win. Donny, a school grounds keeper, thinks that the other house guests will underestimate him. Cody believes his athleticism will help him with challenges.
Frankie plans to keep his famous sister a secret to avoid having a target on his back. Amber’s love for all things outdoors matches the theme of the season. Nicole is a Big Brother super fan and isn’t afraid to lie if she has to.
Devin plans to use his love for his daughter as motivation to win the season. Joey plans to look for guys that fit her personality and have fun.
When the house guests arrive to the compound, Julie Chen drops a bomb on them that they’re about to embark on the most grueling season yet. Cody, Amber, Joey, and Donny are the first to enter the house and claim their beds. Donny admits that he already feels like a fish out of water, but the rest of the house guests seem to instantly like him.
Paola, Frankie, Devin, and Nicole enter the house next. Joey and Frankie instantly connect over their love of crazy colored hair. Paola wants to know why only eight of them are in the house so far. Joey is ready to bust out the champagne.
Cody already has two admirers in the form of Paola and Frankie, while the girls melt when Devin tells everyone he’s a single father. Nicole and Donny connect over being the quiet ones of the house.
After getting to know one another, the eight decide to create an alliance before anyone else comes in. While some think it’s a good idea, Joey is concerned about making a deal with people she doesn’t know very well yet. Devin also decides to make a side alliance with Donny, who he says he trusts completely.
The girls decide they want to make an alliance of their own. They don’t want the guys thinking they can win the season and are sure they’re forming their own alliances.
Julie interrupts the house guests for a meeting. She tells them that the house is going to get very crowded very soon. Also, that one of them will become the first Head of Household for a private suite and nominating two others for elimination. They aren’t happy to learn that the HOH will not be safe from elimination.
They head to the first HOH competition of the season and find a beach setting. In Go Fly a Kite, each house guest must hold onto their kite while balancing on a rolling beam. The last one standing will be the first HOH.
Paola is the first one down, followed by Joey. After being sprayed by sunscreen, Nicole loses her balance and falls. The beam stops and changes direction, making Donny and Devin go crashing down. Cody falls next and Amber decides to purposely fall. Frankie is excited to win HOH even though he’s not sure if it’s a good thing yet.
Julie explains more information about the new HOH rules. She instructs Frankie to take a seat in one of the orange seats. Julie tells him that soon he will be nominating two house guests for elimination. And that a second group of eight will be entering the house and one from that group will becoming a second HOH. By the end of the week, however, only one HOH will be left standing. Now Frankie and the group are worried about what that means.
Team America is explained – a secret three person alliance will be voted on by Big Brother fans. The first having already been chosen before the season started. Team America will be sent on secret missions throughout the season.
