DAYS 1-4

It should be noted that Frankie is actually the older brother of actress-singer Ariana Grande. Whether or not he chooses to reveal that fact is up to him. I wouldn't.

There are a few new twists to get into before we get into playing with the first of our new houseguests... We'll get into them later, but first, on night one of the two-night season premiere, we meet Paola, Donny, Cody (a former pro soccer player), Frankie, Amber, Nicole (fangirl), Devin (former pro baseballer), and Joey (in her words, "way liberal").

Frankie says he's the pink "My Little Pony" and Joey is the blue one. Now all they need is a camo pony... Donny?

Now let's get into the first twist of the new season, as the eight that arrived today pledge to stay together through the rest of the game... And they're officially the Crazy 8s.

"Houseguests, I need everyone to gather in the living room, please." The house is going to get very crowded very soon, but before it does, one of them will become the first HOH of the summer... That's the good news. The bad news... no longer is the HOH completely free from the threat of eviction. What that means? Julie doesn't say just yet.

HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD COMPETITION: Go Fly A Kite

Each houseguest must hold onto a kite while balancing on a rotating beam. Let go or fall off, and your sandcastle goes boom. Last one standing wins HOH.

Going into the competition, Amber has an alliance with all the girls. And Paola is the first one to drop her kite, followed by Joey, Nicole, Paola's libido... Cody..., Donny, Devin, Cody, and finally... Amber.

HOH: FRANKIE. "Go Grande or go home."

But remember, just because he has the keys to the room doesn't mean he gets to stay there.

Back to Head of Household. Julie reveals the new HOH twist... There will be a second group of houseguests, and one of them will ALSO be an HOH. There will be two HOHs, but by the end of the week, there will only be one left standing.

There is a second twist called Team America. You've been voting online at CBS.com, and the winner of that vote - the houseguest you'd like to be in an alliance with - will be part of a three-person alliance that will be controlled by AMERICA. The next two weeks will fill that alliance out by your vote.

Who's the first member of Team America? Find out tomorrow when we meet our second eight Houseguests.
