as soon as live feeds came on it was apparent that certain people were on the block and others were terribly nervous about the POV and being put up next.

The house was not the usual 'having fun' group that we see when feeds have come up Other seasons.

the house is obviously divided into pariahs and those who seem to think 'they have it under control'.

Am i mistaken but I dont think we came into the show with the NOMs already names other seasons. I think we got to see them interact for a day first.

Anyways, I started this thread so questions could be answered. How did the house divide and why?

I agree Sunshyne....I don't remember the feeds coming on after 6 days of the HG being there. Perhaps my memory is failing me....?
We're not seeing that relaxing fun, getting-to-know-eachother fun that they all have before the 1st round of comps. start.
Hmm...

Do we know how the house bedrooms are divided? WHo is sleeping in those tiny beds?

Dick doesnt seem to be sleeping, I wonder if that's his strategy, sleep during the day - awake all night?

So which houseguests are "pariahs" and which houseguests seem to think 'they have it under control'???

I already don't like that we didn't get to know the people before the NOMs and the first food comp. We will probably have a very edited version on Sunday.

Sunshine & Mama, yes they are always in the house at least 5-6 days before the feeds turn on and yes we start out with the noms.

It feels kind of abrupt, like we walked into the middle of the season. I like that chance to see them getting to know each other, to see how a divide plays out. Why are Carol and Amber nommed? Why aren't Joe and Dustin ripping each other's heads off? How did Kail and Jess get tight? Why is Eric hanging out with Dick? Why is Dick getting so much face time already?

Roppie...I agree. We missed so much already, where was the strategy behind the noms, who's with who, etc. I also feel like we've walked in mid-season and they already know eachother while we're still wondering.

As for Dick and his face time, I think it's because he was the only one up all last night.

Are the pariahs the three who were upstairs when the other 11 came in?

guess I should have defined Pariahs.

Jen is one, carol is one, joe is one...everytime justin would show up at a group at least a few people who get up and promptly leave.

Something big happened in the house.

Yes you guys. I am fully aware the HGs go in before the Feeds start, however we usually know the HOH and I thought that the noms are the next day after feeds start.

i just dont remember all this craziness on the first night .....ever!

i found it unpleasant watching and makes me worried as to the season.

right, the noms are normally on Fridays - we've always seen a bit of deal making between the feeds coming on after the first episode, and the noms Friday night...

wonder why they did it this way, with the noms being done before the feeds come on for the first time

All your discussions above make me wonder if they haven't been together longer than we are led to believe. When they were ready to sign off last night they showed preview clips of the houseguests together in various situations. My husband asked how they would have them filmed this way if, in fact, the show is LIVE. Makes me wonder when they did get the houseguests together for these "upcoming" shots. Hmmmmm.....

I'm hearing of a "frenemies" alliance, which includes Dick. Who else is in it?

Sunshyne, did you mean Dustin not Justin, right? So the Pariahs are Jen, Carol, Joe...But if everyone gets up as soon as Dustin sits down, is he ALSO in the Pariahs? Dustin and Joe are in the same group?

I HATE that the HG's are in the house 5-6 days already. It should be two days MAX.

I just downloaded the live feed updates from last year and when the feeds came on we knew who was nominated, because Friday was the POV and they were talking about how they needed to keep Alison from winning it.

Auntie, last night's show wasn't live. It was filmed the night they entered the house, which I believe was June 29 or 30.

Auntie Mike they have been in the house since June 30th, that is why they have the footage. The first show is NEVER live it's always taped so they have footage to air for the shows. The first "live" show will be next thursday.

Oh thanks Typingfool. I knew there was more to it but don't pay much attention to "how" they do things. That makes sense.

I actually dont mind it...I dont think we missed THAT much, a few days more than usual. this way tho, all the big group partying, and group love fest is over and done with, and the cards are starting to fall. I know more about these people and their gameplay in the first 12 hours than I ever have before (except for AllStars of course).
Its usually a struggle for me the first week or so, trying to get to kmow everyone and what their personalities are, but not this year!

Auntie Mike, I was confused by all the "upcoming" footage too. Seems like a bunch of stuff has already been taped~like they are ahead of themselves. I'm uneasy about not feeling bonded to anyone yet. It's like they all know each other, definate factions are already in place, and the rest of the season will end up being an "us against them" bore. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I don't feel like the show is fresh, it's already gone stale.
