Remember, you can watch Big Brother as it airs HERE.
"Tonight the epic battle for a half million dollars begins. We've got a new house, all new HGs, and a brand new twist that is sure to keep everyone on their toes and scrambling all summer long. For the next three months, the HGs of Big Brother will be cut off from the outside world while more cameras and more microphones than ever before will capture every single dramatic moment. Get ready because it's time for another summer of Big Brother," greets Julie Chen.

"Good evening, I'm Julie Chen and welcome to the Big Brother two night premiere event! If you thought last summer was twisted, you haven't seen anything yet. Tonight we'll unleash three twists into the game. One is a fan favorite, one is a secret that only you'll know about, America. The other twist will shake up the game each and every week like never before. It's called the Big Brother Takeover and you'll learn more about that later in the show. But first, we can't start anything until we meet the first eight HGs."

First up we meet James, who is from SC. He stands out in the south, everyone has to take a double look at him. He wears camouflage. He was adopted as a baby, he doesn't know his true ethnicity. It's all about country. Hiking, fishing, riding trucks with the boys, getting stuck in mudholes, anything outdoors he loves. He's tough and competitive and is going to win the dang money.

Meg is up next. She loves living in NY City, so many things to do and people to see; she's always on the move. She lives with her gay best friend - her gusband - her gay husband. They're like a married couple. She likes to be manipulative but her bubbly personality will be an asset, they won't see the manipulative side coming. Why wouldn't they trust her?

Jace is introduced next from Venice Beach, CA. He grew up inspired by Indiana Jones and is a born explorers. He's not afraid of anything; if there is adrenaline involved, he's in. He's broken so many bones he doesn't count anymore. He thinks his no fear attitude will take him to the top of BB because he's not afraid to do what it takes to win.

Audrey is up next. She's 25 years old and a digital media consultant from the charming town VillaRica, GA. She's not a small town girl. She's a girly girl to the extreme. She loves expressing her femininity, eyelashes, make up. She's not only a girls girl but she is extremely competitive and athletic. She brings a lot to the table and she looks forward to surprising people.

Austin the wrestler is up next. His nickname is Judas. That's his darker alter ego. He's going to use that to lie his way to the top. People usually judge him based on his size of 6'5" and his appearance with tattoos all over his body. The HGs won't know that he has a degree in Romance Medieval Literature. To be a professional wrestler, you have to be athletic and be able to manipulate a crowd. Austin and Judas are going to love Big Brother.

Da'Vonne lives in Englewood, CA, city of champions. Growing up she had to have a thick, tough exterior. She is a freelance poker dealer, has dealt in many casinos in LA. She will use that in the game and it will take her to the end. Her strategy is to have her ride or die and her main apple scrapple. She wants to be covered in all angles in the house. She doesn't mind being covered in blood up to her neck if that will get her to the end. She is a single mom and her baby is about to be seven months. Getting the money is her foundation set for her baby.

Clay lives on a farm. Farm life is nice, you can get away and relax. He loves his family and loves helping his mom with the animals. He's athletic and plays football. You have to be able to adapt and change with football which will help with the game.

Shelli is 33 years old and lives in Atlanta, GA and she is a home stager and decorator. A lot of people see blond hair and makeup and think she's a girly girl. She's a girly girl who is not afraid to take things into her own hands. When she owned her first house, she ripped out counters herself.

Shelli is divorced and newly single. Clay is not opposed to a showmance. Blond hair doesn't hurt.

James says 90% of people will underestimate him. Da'Vonne wants people to think she's someone from the hood who doesn't know much about BB. She's studied since season one. Meg is afraid of super fans.

Austin says Judas never goes anywhere without his top hat. As soon as it goes on, lie, Judas lie. Audrey wants to be like a Dexter Morgan, carefully collecting blood slides of every fallen HGs she's had a hand dismantling.

The eight HGs we met are gathered on stage and Julie welcomes them. Julie says for a history making 98 days, they will endure the most grueling social experiment that exists. They have to be the last HGs standing to win. How far will they go? Julie tells them they'll enter in two groups; once through the door the game is on. The first four to enter are: Da'Vonne, Shelli, Clay and Austin.

Shelli and Da'Vonne screech, hug each other and introduce each other. Austin and Clay meet next, and Clay tells us Austin looks like a giant magician. Da'Vonne tells us Clay is hot to trot! Shelli fans herself in the DR; Clay is tall and pretty. Hey, Clay!
Audrey, Meg, Jace and James are let in next.

James can't find the bedrooms initially. The group introduces themselves to each other.

Audrey tells us it is difficult for her to process everything that is going on. It's the first time she's going to publically share her truth with complete and total strangers.

James comments there is no beer after checking out the fridge. They then discuss the fact that there is only eight of them while they investigate. They can't agree if it will be All-Stars or more newbies coming.

Jace comments that the girls don't want to wear dresses on the bridge; you can see right down below. They locate the champagne and open it. Meg pops the cork and teases that she knows how to party. They begin to introduce each other. Jace jokes he's a pedi cab driver. Meg tells us her high energy with Jace could connect well. Clay tells us he decided not to tell the group that he plays football; he wants to avoid the target on day one. Shelli tells us Clay is going to get her into trouble this summer. She's 10 years old; she doesn't know that she cares. Age is just a number.

Shelli tells the group about her twin brother Wes. Clay tells us there are a lot of good looking women in the house, but Shelli takes the cake. Shelli has a heart murmur, so does Clay. Shelli tells us their hearts will be murmuring this summer. Da'Vonne teaches second grade, she tells them. Da'Vonne tells us a great poker dealer is also a poker player. She's a good bluffer. Austin tells us he plays up all his injuries but he's perfectly healed.

James tells us he thinks Meg is really hot and looks like Taylor Swift. Da'Vonne tells us when she hears James' accent even though he's Asian, she's stunned. James has a three year old daughter Bailey. Audrey tells the group that she's the first transgender person to be on Big Brother.

The group is stunned and tell her she looks amazing. She transitioned three years ago. Austin is impressed. James tells us it's his first time meeting a transgender and it is new for him but he feels a connection to her; they're both different. Audrey tells us everyone seemed super cool. That's great, but this is Big Brother and there's only one winner and it's game time.

They go back to discussing what could happen next for more people coming to the house. They toast each other.

Da'Vonne, Shelli and Audrey are in the bedroom talking. Audrey wants the girls to do well this time. She's nervous about the guys running the show. Austin, Clay and Jace are in a different bedroom discussing working out.

Audrey says she senses really strong energy. Da'Vonne tells us they're tiptoeing around the word to have an alliance but it seemed like the perfect opportunity to take a leap. She suggests an alliance and all three agree. Shelli tells us this might be a really smart move. Da'Vonne says they have to keep it quiet; they can pick a name later. Audrey suggests they be calculating. Watch out boys! she says in the DR.

Later, Clay, Shelli, Da'Vonne, Audrey and James are in the third bedroom chit chatting about their families. Clay asks how Audrey's family dealt with her transition. Audrey says her family got very bad advice from counselors.

Clay tells us he's never met a transgender person. He thought he had adversity, but listening to her and what she's been through put a lot in perspective.

All HGs are affected by Audrey. Da'Vonne tells us she feels bad to her, but she feels Audrey may have added salt and pepper to the story and she's thrilled when everyone appears to eat out of Audrey's hand. It's perfect for their alliance.

Later, Julie calls everyone into the living room . The HGs tell her to bring on the twist and the other HGs. Julie says tonight she'll reveal two twists to them; one is a fan favourite and one is completely new. The fan favorite - one of the biggest and best game changers from last summer.

The HGs guess Battle of the Block and Julie confirms they are correct. You could go from being HoH to being evicted in the same week. James tells us no one is safe until after the BotB is played.

Two HGs will be selected each week and will each nominate two HGs for eviction. The nominees will battle each other and the winners will come off the block and send the HoH that nominated them back into the pool of who can be nominated that week.

It's time for the first HoH competition! One of the eight is about to become HoH number one. Before they head outside, they have a decision to make. One of them have to sit the competition out. Julie will see them in the backyard shortly with their answer.

Da'Vonne volunteers to sit out if they promise not to nominate her. Da'Vonne tells us this could be a positive in the game or it could be a trip back home for her. They all agree it's fair.

We head down to Entertainment Tonight's Kevin Fraser on the Red Carpet for tonight's HoH competition. We are here for the premiere of BB's UFOh No! It was horrible but Kevin says let's keep it positive and hope things go well tonight. Getting down to business...

The HGs are led out. Jace is excited to be part of a Hollywood premiere. Austin tells us all that is going through is mind is how beautiful Kevin is. He got giddy like a school girl.

Kevin calls Jace over and asks who would play the lead role in a movie about his life? Clay says Johnny Depp. Meg tells us Scarlett Johansen will play her role too. Get real, Jace! Shelli wants to date Ryan Reynolds one day when she's famous. She tells us she looks over to Clay who looks like Ryan Reynolds and blushes. James tells us he thinks Kevin Fraser hasn't seen a hillbilly Asian before.

Kevin turns things back to Julie. "This film, UFOh No, has received horrible reviews which is why we're calling this competition Flying Tomatoes." On Julie's go, critics will begin weighing in and the tomatoes will fly. The first HGs to catch 10 tomatoes and put them in their container will be the first HoH. Fall of their platform and they are out of the game. This competition begins now.

Meg tells us that everyone knows the first HoH of the season is a big deal. Even with the BotB and the new twist, HoH is the most powerful position in the house. Clay tells us he is pretty confident with his football playing; this competition is up his alley. Meg, Austin and Clay all fall off their platform.

James is in the lead with three; the rest have none. James tells us now that his biggest competition have fallen off, he thinks this hillbilly Asian has it in the bag.

Da'Vonne tells us she sees everyone getting hit with the tomatoes and she thinks sitting on the sidelines might have been a good idea. Jace keeps almost slipping off the edge and saves himself twice. He catches a tomato, then Audrey catches on.

Next count there is a three-way tie - Audrey, Jace and James with five tomatoes apiece and Shelli with three.

James gets to eight tomatoes and the girls tease him that he's a baseball coach. Austin tells us James is a tough physical threat; there might be more to him than a country boy. Audrey tells us while everyone seems accepting of her, she doesn't know where she stands and she wants to win.

All four slip off together at the same time. Julie says they'll have to check the replay.

Julie comes back to announce the winner. After checking the tape, James was the last person to touch the red carpet and he's now the first HoH of the summer! James tells us he is a competitor, that's what he came here to do. He's not going back to Texas.

Shelli tells us she's bummed she didn't win but the other twist may be a good thing. Audrey tells us she doesn't know what's going through James' roly poly head. She'll have to kiss up to him and hope he doesn't nominate her.

Julie calls the HGs to the living room as they come back into the house. "When we look like this?" Jace comments as they head in there.

Julie announces the second twist. From Team America, to Coaches to the MVP, twists have always been a staple of Big Brother and have always changed up the game but no HGs has ever had to endure a new twist each and every week until now. Welcome to the Big Bother Takeover. They wonder aloud what that means.

The Big Bother Takeover will unleash a new game into the house throughout the summer. Every time they hear a specific song about a takeover, get to the living room because that means a takeover is in effect. You never know who or what it will be. What you can be sure of is that you'll need to expect the unexpected every single week.

They begin to discuss what this means. Da'Vonne suggests there being a saboteur, and Austin tells us everyone will be on edge from day one. Everyone's true colors will quickly become prominent.

It's now time to reveal a twist to America that will be a secret from the HGs. It's called the Twin Twist, and here's how it works. One of the HGs has an identical twin. The other HGs have no idea, but both twins will be taking turns living in the house and competing as one person. These two will be constantly switching places, playing as one HG. The big question is, can these twins fool the other HGs? If they can survive the first five HGs, they both earn the right to enter the game and play as individual HGs.

A sneak peek at the HGs entering tomorrow night. Liz is a Capricorn and is very feisty. She doesn't have a filter but she knows how to control it. Jason works in a grocery store; it's not his dream job. Working for other people for minimum wage is not a good look. Vanessa is known for being one of the best poker players in the world. The skills it takes to play Big Brother are the same skills it takes to play poker. She's all in. John is a huge nerd, a geek and is proud of it. If you like a socially awkward engineer who has a hard time holding a conversation, he's your guy.

Becky says it's Big Brother time, kiss her goodbye!

Tune in tomorrow night as the remaining HGs move in, plus the Big Brother Takeover twist begins as our first surprise guest delivers a game changer. Then Sunday at 8PM the first nomination ceremony, the first BotB and the Big Brother Takeover all continue to shake up the game. See you tomorrow night!
