Last night was the live move-in special of season 22 of the hit reality series Big Brother. While I don’t usually stan over this show COVID-19 has made it so I sort of have to.
We met the houseguests (who were all COVID-free and quarantined prior to filming) and watched Cody snag the first HoH title, while Memphis, Nicole A, Ian and Kevin found themselves as the Have-Nots, and Christmas won $5k.
So, like The Challenge I wanted to get into the players stats, and predictions after just one episode of the show.
