Last season was, in a word, exhausting.
It was a lot to process, but weve had nearly nine months to let it all settle.
Join me in letting it go.

Oh, and dont you fret the unexpected twists are abound!
Three in the first night alone, in fact.
Some are easy to spot through spoilers, or as Bronte might say, math.
But lets not focus on the past or even math lets focus on our 12 houseguests!
He has a powerful beard and lots of tattoos, and hes ~different~.
Im going to keep an open mind for our Puerto Rican Sensation.
Bronte:So, Bronte means well.
Bridgette:A California travel nurse, I get real Meg-like vibes from Bridgette.
She seems to be fun and rowdy, but its the premiere, so whoisntfun and rowdy?
A strange hybrid of Aaryn, DaVonne, and James, Zakiyah will hopefully be around for a while.
NEXT: Out with the old, in… NO, out with the old
Glenn:Poor Glenn.
Michelle:From what I gather, Michelle doesnt like fat people, and shes scared of alot.
Tiffany:Oh, Tiffany.
So, shes Vanessas sister.
Also a bisexual woman.
Think of her like the diet, caffeine-free, brunette version of Vanessa.
She loves the game and loves her sister, but lets just shoot each other straight for a second.
Vanessa was certified bonkers whilst playingBig Brother, but she was SO good at being bonkers and still dominating.
Im not sure I see that same fire.
Per usual, the group gathers in the living room for introductions and to make themselves known.
Jozea yells because we all have our roles.
Bronte introduces herself as a dinosaur (I totally take back my comment from earlier).
Glenn calls attention to the fact that hes 50, and everyone pretends to be shocked about it.
They agree the veterans have to go.
Similarly, the veterans band together, knowing the young guns (even Glenn!)
want them out fast, so they have to watch out for each other.
Naturally, though, that doesnt work because production knows how these things tend to shake out.
Thats how we get to twist no.
Fortunately, for each houseguest, theyll have three.
Ultimately, Jozea was the last to drop from Big Sister, leaving them as Big Have-Nots.
Theres much celebrating, but DaVonnes team is not interested in her sticking around.
If were being honest, DaVonne is too good for this world.
Meanwhile, Victor the Puerto Rican Sensation is having a wonderful time with the most ridiculous team ever.
Outside of celebration station, Tiffany jumps off to a great start by beingexactlyas paranoid as Vanessa.
Theyll compete against one another for theirBig Brotherlives.
We launch into our next competition on a beach.
Its a journey, yall.
Team Freakazoid takes an early lead because Coreys a baseball coach, etc.
But its not long before everyones towers start falling.
And then theres poor DaVonne not having any fun at all with Paul, whomsheis starting to regret picking.
But once Freakazoids pyramid falls and DaVonne decides Paul isnt 100-percent awful, the other two teams step.
Its not enough, though, because Category 4 wins round one.
