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.
