Big Brother is back for the summer with the magnificent Julie Chen and a houseful of new – and some old – contestants competing to win $500,000. #BB18 is proving to be just as twist- and drama-filled as usual, with more alliances than I can count on one hand.
Airing 3 nights a week, Big Brother requires quite the time commitment and you might as well keep it interesting with – what else – alcohol. Without school during the week, the summer is the perfect time to grab your friends and get wasted on a Sunday, Wednesday and/or Thursday night to Big Brother.
Take a sip when:
- A houseguest wears a costume
- Someone says “showmance”
- Two houseguests cuddle
- Anyone says “backdoor”
- Julie Chen says “houseguests”
- A houseguest names their target
Drink two sips if:
- Three or more houseguests cuddle
- An evicted houseguest is mentioned
- Someone pranks another houseguest
- Someone actually goes in the pool
- An alliance turns on one of their own
- A picture on the memory wall fades to grey – an Irish funeral of sorts
Take a shot when:
- A competition starts
- Someone cries
- A new alliance is formed
Finish your drink if:
- A new showmance commences
- You incorrectly guessed who would win a competition
- A floater gets their game together and finally joins an alliance
Be safe, drink up, then go creep on the houseguests with the live feeds.
