“Big Brother 12” premiers at 8pm tonight, though technically they moved in a few days ago. I’m posting this here as a space saver. I’ll update it with thoughts as the show airs (hopefully, or shortly after). You can feel free to leave your comments here too after you see the show.

Also remember “Big Brother After Dark” starts tonight on Sho2 at midnight and runs every night for 3 hours. The feeds, if you’ve subscribed (I have!) start after the show airs (on the west coast I believe, so again 12pm).

Last year there were issues with spoilers being given away in the comments and showing up on the side bar. I’m probably going to remove the side bar comments this summer to keep that from occurring, or find a way to tweak it so it just shows the author’s name and what post they commented on.

Also as of late blog has been marking some real comments as spam. I’ve been doing my best lately to check and save them. I also upgraded all the blog software today, so hopefully that will also help!

My thoughts/recap of the initial episode . . . .

Initial thought, Enzo has to go yesterday. I just can’t listen to him all summer. I can’t!

Did the “chemist” just call Andrew’s yamaka a Yam Kapur? Okay, I don’t want anything she’s working on inventing!

The house guests are told about the saboteur. Well that sucks, they couldn’t have kept it a secret a little longer? He or she wins 50K if they make it to week 5. Then what though . . do they leave . . do they stay?

The first HOH is held. I will reveal this at the end of the post and after the fold/jump . . . . for those who are on the west coast so they don’t see it up front.

The cast is divided into two teams, with Andrew volunteering to be the mascot and not be eligible to be HOH.

The HOH game took place on a large fake grill, and Andrew (dressed like a hot dog) learned while he couldn’t be HOH, he also couldn’t be evicted.

The goal of the game was to pull team members across the grill on a large hanging hot dog. The last team member (of the winning team) to make it across the grill would be HOH, while the first to make it across wins 10K (and each succeeding member wins less money).

Brittany slipped and fell off the giant weaner an apparently hurt her knee bad. Andrew, who is a doctor (podiatrist), had to hold back from helping and tipping his brain to the other houseguest. Meannnnnnnn!

Brittany was taken out of the game and some switches were made to insure fairness. However Brittany now looks like either the saboteur or the weakest link!

Read on past the end to find out who the first HOH is!

We will get to go to CBS.com and give suggestions to the saboteur as to what to do.

At the end of this episode as everyone gathered, the lights went off. Brandon “thought” they had to go to bed, so he set off. Meanwhile Andrew snuck off to try and pull pranks.

Meanwhile the saboteur padlocked the storage room where the food is, and they are only left with slop!

Sunday is the first nomination, Wednesday is the first POV and on Thursday is the first eviction and we learn who the saboteur is!

Monet wins the 10K and Hayden is the first HOH!
