Hi y’all!
So, welcome to a new season of Big Brother! I honestly didn’t think that it was going to happen this month but apparently it is. And it’s going to be a full season, with 16 returning all-stars. Last night, Tyler was speculating that the season was going to end some time in October.
Yes, Tyler is back. He was among the 16 former houseguests who moved into the house last night. Julie Chen described them as being some of the best players who ever played the game. I don’t know if I totally agree with her on that. At least a few of the HGs — Christmas, Bayleigh, and Cody — were actually pretty lousy at the game and only survived for as long as they did because they were considered to be a good lackey by their season’s eventual winner. Still, I guess it’s understandable. This season, production had to put things together in a hurry and they had to find people willing to take the risks associated with being in a closed space with people for three months. I don’t know if it’s so much All-Stars as Popular Players We Could Get On Short Notice.
Here are the BB22 houseguests:
- Nicole Franzel
- Danielle Donato
- Da’Vonne Rogers
- Christmas Abbott
- Tyler Crispen
- Ian Terry
- Kevin
- Enzo
- Janelle
- Bayleigh
- Nicole Anthony
- Keesha
- Kaysar
- Cody
- Memphis
- David
Those 16 not only moved in last night but they also competed for HoH. Cody rather easily won the HoH comp and he’ll now be in charge of making the first nominations of the summer. It’ll be interesting to see what Cody does because he doesn’t have any obvious allies in the House (he’s the only person from his season playing) and, during his previous time on Big Brother, he always just did whatever Derrick told him to do.
After the HoH comp, the HGs spent the night catching up with each other. I didn’t really hear a whole lot of strategy talk. This is an older group and, to be honest, it was a pretty laid back night.
Memphis did tell Kevin and the two Nicoles that Keesha still hates him because of his decision to evict her during their season. So, Memphis undoubtedly will be pushing for Keesha to be nominated. (Or maybe not. There’s some speculation online that Memphis and Keesha are actually working together and Memphis pushed the narrative of Keesha hating him so hard because he didn’t want the other HGs to realize it.) However, from what I could see, it appeared that Cody was mostly bonding with Tyler. The two of them seem to have really hit it off.
Nominations might be today so, if they are, we’ll see who Cody picks. Right now, I’m not really sure how he’s going to go. I would nominate Janelle and Kaysar, despite the fact that I like them both. But Janelle and Kaysar have a strong bond outside the game (Janelle has said that, outside the house, she still talks to Kaysar nearly every day) so I would want to separate the two of them. But I don’t know if Cody knows how close they are. So, I have a feeling that Cody will nominate whoever Tyler pushes. It’s hard to know at this point.
We’ll see what happens later today!

“I don’t know if it’s so much All-Stars as Popular Players We Could Get On Short Notice.” That pretty much sums up the cast, LMB. But, I do like all of them, or maybe I should say I don’t hate any, so that’s a good thing.
My faves are Enzo and Little Nicole. I like Christmas, Da’Vonne, David and Whinny Nicole. I didn’t start watching until season 12, so don’t know Kaysar, Memphis or Keesha. Janelle and Dani will make it fun, but kind of over them. I like Tyler but not his frizzy hair, I know, petty of me. Always liked Cody, it will be interesting to see what he does without Derrick, and no surprise he hooks up with Tyler. I am not a fan of swishy gay dudes, so not sure about Kevin, it will be like having Frankie in the house. Baleigh I never cared for, but that was due to the fact she was so bitter and unpleasant, hopefully this time will be different. I liked Ian, but he looked so lost last night, like a fish out of water. So that’s my thoughts for now on the houseguests.
It was fun seeing early clips of Julie on the old shows. The house looks quite spiffy and dramatic, I like it. The cast is older and so many married, some with ties to other houseguests it will be quite different from a regular BB. Looking forward to watching and hearing everyone’s comments.
As always, thanks, Lisa Marie for your news. And BBBlogger for hosting.

I agree that some of the houseguests are NOT All Stars! But it will be interesting to see how the game goes with older contestants. Bring it on!

First, Lisa Marie, so glad you’re back to walk us through another crazy season! It’s always good to come back in the room and see so many commenters back too! It’s nice to see familiar faces!
I’m really happy to see a lot of these players… easier for me to discuss the ones that aren’t big favorites… So here goes… I have never understood why Janelle is such a beloved player. I’ve never really liked her much and her overwhelming personality really rubs me the wrong way… all the way back to her first season on BB. Isn’t this like her fourth time to lose, um, be on BB?!?
When David walked out I told my hubs “I have no idea who that guy is!? And he’s from last season??” Out of the game night one… oh yeah.. I remember… sorta! Lol
Christmas & Bayleigh… I could live without both of these gals. Didn’t like either one in their 1st season. Everyone else I really liked in their original season, so I’ll be changing my favorite weekly!
Kevin is a very flamboyant character, but he’s got a great social game and is super likable. Being old school (I’ve watched every episode since season 1, “hey Eddie where ever you are!”), I’m glad to see Memphis & Keesha back, though I think Memphis is already in serious need of strategic and crazy Dan Gheesling. I always liked Kaysar, but his association with the mega threat known as Janelle May be his undoing…
Love Tyler, Mama Da, little Nicole (how cute is she pod casting) and Dani… I have no complaints about this seasons players (except Janelle.. I’m sorry… just can’t be a fan girl) and it looks like it’s going to be a lot of fun!

How you don’t remember David? Yeah He was first out, but was still in the house for a month in camp comeback. And many on this blog was pulling for him to get back in but Cliff smoked everybody in the comp. Remember he was the one that was very observative and pretty much figured out the alliance of 8 just by paying attention.
