If you're a Big Brother super-fan (like me!), merely a regular fan, or new to the show this season, you've probably heard near the Dynamic Duo twist. Or maybe you've been living under a rock for the last two weeks… in which instance, let me fill you in. As (fairly normally clad) host Julie Chen says, "from surreptitious alliances to public show-mances, dynamic duos accept ruled Big Brother". And for the about office, she's correct. Only Big Brother is notorious for promising huge twists that sometimes fall flat, and so what were nosotros to expect? Definitely non all this! Looks like flavor thirteen volition be total of some truly dynamic twists that will go on the fourteen houseguests and the cult of BB viewers on their toes!

The flavour opener gave u.s. a glimpse of this year's firm, which is actually a studio on the CBS lot, and reminded u.s.a. that 52 cameras and 95 microphones will be on hand to record every moment of the next 3 months (give or take) every bit houseguests compete for food, luxuries, power, and a $500,000 prize. The business firm is Venice Beach themed, and I couldn't assistance but discover all of the "broken pairs" in the décor… surfboards cutting in half adorn the kitchen walls, beds seem to fit together like puzzle pieces, and then along. Ok, I cheated and looked at the online pictures when they came out terminal calendar week, simply nevertheless. BB is a game where details matter, then keep your I-Spy Optics open!

On to the practiced stuff (oh, who am I kidding – information technology's all good!): Which lucky contenders get to live in this peek-a-boo palace for the summer?

Let's see the contestants…
Dominic – A 25 year-sometime virgin who loves fast bikes and lives with his mom. Starting time Impression: Nosotros're giving this guy alcohol, half-naked chicks, and 3 months of playing a game that doesn't come with controllers? He'll be blacked out in the skeezy hot tub before y'all know it.

Cassi – A driblet dead gorgeous model and self proclaimed "Southern, tomboy, guys' girl". Beginning Impression: The pretty girls usually get the (cowboy) boot commencement, simply I hope she has plenty grit to stick (pony) around.

Lawon – A brilliant, bold, and rather flamboyant guy with a large smile and seemingly practiced attitude. Kickoff Impression: I judge this is our token player this yr, but token what? He seems hard to read… maybe there's a seasoned player hiding under all those flashy accessories.

Keith – Youth government minister, Deacon, and hound dog who tells us direct-up that he'south interested in chasing some tail. Outset Impression: I really don't desire to like anyone who uses the phrase, "when I'm not in church I'm chasing girls", but he kind of makes me laugh… Jury'due south out.

Shelly – A company exec and mom who seems to do some kind of work involving 'gators and other wildlife in the swamps of Louisiana. First Impression: Thank goodness they cast the older mom effigy as a total bad-ass this year! I hope she tin wrangle up the houseguests as well as she wrangles up critters.

Adam – This bald and tatted-upwardly Metal lover has a passion for Beverly Hills 90210 and appletinis. First Impression: This guy is suffering from a major identity crisis. And maybe a mid-life crisis. There are a lot of crises happening here, not the least of which is that all black wardrobe.

Kalia – Describes herself as the real-life Carrie Bradshaw, and thinks her "gift of gab" volition be her biggest weapon in the house. First Impression: Girl, nosotros all think nosotros're Carries, but the truth is that some of united states are simply Mirandas. And I see some "picket how Kalia never stops talking" montages in the BB future.

Porsche – a VIP waitress whose credible claim to fame is being "the hottest girl everywhere (she) goes". Outset Impressions: Wasn't Rachel (BB12) a "VIP Hostess"? And nosotros all know how that turned out.

And… that's it! There are only eight new houseguests. If y'all haven't figured it out by now, function of the Dynamic Duo twist is that duos from previous seasons of BB will bring together these 8 contestants. Merely they don't know that – at to the lowest degree not yet. They enter the business firm confused but excited, and nosotros get our first glimpse at some promising diary room sessions. Strategic lies are already flowing during the meet and greet. Keith doesn't spill the beans well-nigh his position in the church and instead claims to be a professional matchmaker, hoping the ladies will see this as a reason to flock to him. HA! This is hilarious to me. Maybe not smart game play, just hilarious. Adam and Shelly are open and honest. When everyone finds out Kalia writes a relationship column they "Keith and Kalia sitting in a tree" her. She doesn't seem to fight information technology, and Keith'south DR comments most her, um, puppies (actually?!) indicate that he's not opposed to some k-i-south-southward-i-n-thou. Porsche has her center on Dominic, and also says she's a student so the other houseguests won't be jealous of her "luxurious" life as a cocktail waitress and decide she doesn't demand the half-million. Lawon promises nicknames for everyone (fun!) and more crazy clothes. Cassi doesn't 'fess upwards to being a model to avert the stigma. They're going to have to stick with these lies or defend their telling of them over the next three months, then I hope they can all keep their stories straight!

Let's twist again
The houseguests are quickly called to the living room for a video-chat with Julie. She explains that each histrion must pick a partner and play the game as a pair. Which I expected. Just the shocker? The partner of whoever wins Head of Household is safe for the week, and instead of nominating individual players for eviction, the HOH must nominate a duo. Ah, another turn in the Dynamic Duo twist! The houseguests semi-reluctantly pair up… the teams: Adam/Dominic, Shelly/Cassi, Lawon/Kalia, and Keith/Porsche. I actually actually wanted Adam and Dominic to pair up. I think they're a proficient combination. Just gut instinct!

And and then… DING DONG! The BB doorbell rings, and the showtime veteran duo enters, and it's… Well, crap. Information technology's Brenchel. Rachel and Brendon from BB12 are undeniably good TV, only not 2 people that I actually want to see three nights a week. Rachel is a somethingresemblingred-head from "VEGAS, B*TCHES!" who doesn't want anyone to come between her and HER MAN, Brendon. The two met last season and hit it off because they're fellow scientists who have still to convince me that they know anything well-nigh science. They terrorized the house, won a ton of competitions, and and so got engaged after the season wrapped. Simply neither of them won the big prize, so I approximate they're back for a second chance. The houseguests seemed about as enthusiastic as I was to see the couple.

DING DONG over again! Quicker than you can say "ne-ander-TALL" (a little BB12 inside joke), Jeff and Jordan are back in the house! I triple heart love Jeff and Jordan, who also met in the house during their season – BB11. The two are basically the William and Kate of BB, and Jeff's street savvy is hilariously matched with Jordan's tiresome drawl and inability to do any kind of mathematical calculation. Jordan won her flavour (with Jeff'southward help), then I'm certain this squad volition accept a huge target on their collective dorsum. For now, though, the original 8 are awed simply to be in the presence of genuinely good people.

Ane final DING DONG and (gasp!) Evel Dick and Daniele are inside! Dick and Daniele are male parent and daughter, famously paired up in their flavour against their wishes… some family drama kept the ii just short of enemies. And, certain enough, Dick announces to the BB13 coiffure that he and Daniele haven't spoken in 3 years. Jeff is quick to signal out that he's not 100% sure that the two aren't on speaking terms… is this just skillful game play? Dick won his season, and is a lot of BB fans' favorite. actor. always. For example, Adam was so excited to see Dick that he compared the returning houseguest to Tori Spelling. Ok, peradventure not the best example, simply you get the idea. Mostly I just felt sorry for Daniele… her confront indicated that she is less than thrilled about spending fourth dimension velcroed to her father's side.

This stuff is BANANAS
The first HOH competition of the summer involved the houseguests hanging (as duos) from big plastic-like bananas. It was clearly The Veterans vs. The Newbies, but the new teams just couldn't hang on. The competition came down to Rachel and Daniele, and Rachel promised Daniele safety. Daniele stupidly let become, and Rachel is our offset HOH. Simply she has a lot to consider in that dyed and fried head of hers… Julie came back on the living room screen to inform the houseguests that although ane houseguest volition be evicted each calendar week, the houseguest that survives eviction will automatically go through to be in the top x! This twist has a proper noun – The Large Brother Golden Key. The Gold Key player(s) will not be immune to play in any competition until only 10 players remain in the house, merely are allowed to vote for eviction.

Did you see this final twist coming?? I sure didn't. BB is really shaking things up this flavor… Who were you nearly excited or dismayed to meet return, and which Dynamic Duo are you rooting for? Practise you call back Brenchel and the veteran duos volition stick together and try to oust the newbies? Or will Brenchel finally use those brains of theirs and try to get the more experienced players out first? We'll find out Sunday nighttime… see you then! In the meantime, leave your TwoCents here!
