As we close out week one in the Big Brother Season 26 House, it is always good to take a look bad and ask yourself, "What the heck was that?!!!"

 

So that's just what I did with Microsoft's CoPilot, asking it to "provide a multi-paragraph narrative summary of the first week in Big Brother USA Season 26."

 

The first week of Big Brother USA Season 26 was filled with excitement and unexpected twists. The two-night premiere saw 16 new houseguests enter the house for the shot at the $750,000 prize. They were thrown right into their first twist of the season, as they were given the decision to vote in another person to join them. But that turned out to be the first of assumingly many tricks from “BB AI,” an intense welcome to the game complete with advantages and disadvantages.

 

Angela Murray won over fans immediately with her passion for Big Brother, with the idea of even being in the house bringing her to tears. She started her dream experience off strong, as the oldest woman in the house in the first Head of Household (HoH) of the season. As HoH, Angela wanted to start her nominations by going for “consensus targets.” She was also forced to put up three houseguests. She chose to go for Kenney Kelley, Kimo Apaka, and Lisa Weintraub, who all were not doing much gaming in the first few days and subsequently got left out of the many plans going around.

 

After being absolutely blindsided by Angela’s nomination of her, Lisa used that to fuel herself, winning the first veto of the season. With the veto used, Angela continued on her warpath against Matt Hardeman, putting him up. Matt was surprisingly blindsided by the nomination, feeling he and Angela had made up and he had dissuaded her from being a target.

 

Big Brother 26 opened with a doozy of a twist, as each move-in group of eight was presented with the chance to vote in a 17th houseguest. That houseguest turned out to be false, an identity conceived by "BB AI". The Big Brother 26 live feeds have also revealed that a new AI Arena competition is being introduced this season in which one of the three nominees will have the chance to remove themselves from the chopping block before Thursday’s live eviction.

 

In addition, Quinn Martin told Angela that he has the Deepfake HoH. Makensy Manbeck has America’s Veto. She explained to Matt and Leah Peters that she can save someone from the chopping block, but it will be up to viewers to decide the replacement nominee. Makensy said that she can only use the power over the next four weeks. It’s going to be very interesting to see who ends up on the chopping block during the first Big Brother 26 live eviction.

Fred here. Clearly, CoPilot hasn't quite caught up on the action in the Big Brother House as Angela's targeting of Kenny shifted with diamond focus, after a fit of HoH Paranoia, onto Matt. When Kimo won the AI Arena battle, Matt's fate was sealed. 

 

What did you think of the first week in the Big Brother AI House? Personally, I wish AINSLI had taken a riff off NBC's Olympics Coverage and this week launched a 2-week Big Brother Games twist, in which the Houseguests would be put through physical and mental tests of courage, determination, and competition in which only the best survive.  A bird can dream.
