'Big Brother 18' News: Is Da'Vonne Doomed To Repeat History This Season? [POLL, VIDEO]
Big Brother 18 premiered Wednesday night and while plenty of players have stood out already, none stood out more than Da'Vonne Rogers.
Big Brother 18 Houseguests:
Bridgette Dunning, Bronte D'Acquisto, Corey Brooks, Da'Vonne Rogers, Frank Eudy, Glenn Garcia, James Huling, Jozea Flores, Michelle Meyer, Natalie Negrotti, Nicole Franzel, Paul Abrahamian, Paulie Calafiore, Tiffany Rousso, Victor Arroyo and Zakiyah Everette
The premiere of Big Brother 18 featured 12 new players entering the house, followed by the arrival of four "stowaways," a.k.a. returning players Da'Vonne, Frank, James and Nicole. Right away, many of the new players agreed that the returnees needed to be evicted first.
But things got complicated when host Julie Chen announced that the houseguests would be playing in teams of four. Da'Vonne in particular was upset about this, saying she just wanted to play for herself, not anyone else. The subsequent challenges, which had the four teams competing against each other in the hope of not being evicted, featured plenty of commentary by Da'Vonne, who was frustrated about teammate Paul.
Luckily, Da'Vonne's team was able to pull off a victory, keeping her, Paul, Jozea and Zakiyah safe for the first eviction. Nicole's team, which consists of her, Corey, Glenn and Tiffany, lost all the competitions and one of them will be evicted in the final round.
One of the biggest topics to come out of the BB18 premiere was Da'Vonne's game. While she clearly has the support of fellow returnees Frank, James and Nicole, we did not see much of a social game beyond this. Even her attempt at bonding with teammates Jozea, Paul and Zakiyah resulted in those three subsequently agreeing that she still needed to go home soon. We also saw some animosity later in the episode between Da'Vonne and Paul.
Do you think Da'Vonne can rein things in and play a stronger social game than she did last season? Vote in our poll below!
Big Brother 18 returns with a new episode Thursday at 9 p.m. ET/PT on CBS.
