Just breathe it in.

Now, say it with me:

Its baaaaaaaack.

And I, for one, am excited.

And this year, theres a (Saboteur!)

So lets get to it.

Helmed once again by the incomparable Julie Chen…

What the hell was that?

Get it off me!

Those are the same thing.

Its going to be great.

Another sign this season is going to be fantastic?

It involved two teams (yellow and red; then relish wept) and one mascot.

But it did win him immunity during the first eviction.

The sixth and final person to cross the Grand Grill Canyon would become HOH.

Next: Meet the houseguests

Ive put off actually mentioning these people by name long enough.

I just hate learning names.

And now, reality TV, you bitch, look what youre making me do.

Its really the part I loathe most about the beginning of a reality show season.

But here goes nothing.

She said early on that she did not want to be around anyone gross or just plain ol nasty.

On that note, Monet,meet Mikey from BB9 in the UK.

This, too, can happen to you.

Her performance even earned her $10,000.

At first, her southern accent (which probably 50 percent of the houseguests have?)

and law enforcement ties reminded me of Kyra Sedgwick onThe Closer.

Turns out shes not even Kyra Sedgwick inPhenomenon.

Andrew Joining her might be Andrew, of aforementioned hot dog outfit fame.

Although, I have to applaud him.

Rachel Resident of Boob City, according to Monet.

But shes really from Las Vegas.

The two are quite interchangeable, actually.

Next: Matt: The Genius?

Matt Hes a genius.

And Im not even saying that sarcastically yet.

Hes a member of Mensa and has an IQ in the top 2 percentile.

), who later asked me for change.

But the season is young.

So far, shes mentioned being attracted to two houseguests one guy and one girl.

Annnnnd the subscriptions to Showtime 2 just went up 50%.

Time will tell whos right.

Forget it; we dont need time.

He also has a thing for big, dumb guys and Brendon, who he thinks should play Superman.

The Decatur, Texas (woo!)

native likes getting his hands dirty and was shown working on a farm.

(2) He was trying to figure out what Saboteur means.

(3) He wasnt listening.

Enzo Intent on capitalizing on the popularity ofJersey Shore,BBintroduced us to Jersey-native and self-proclaimed meatball-lover Enzo.

Among his first quotes?

If you werent my mother, Id marry you.

Ladies and gents, this guy is straight up bananas!

(…and a secret Rachel Zoe fan?)

Kristen Then there was Kristen, who is fun, outgoing, and smart, and modest.

Hayden Move over great athletes of our time, and meet Hayden.

Regardless, he walked away this week with the power of HOH and his eye on Kristen.

Yeah, Im disappointed, too.

Well, kind of.

Let the starvation begin!

So, at the risk of sounding like a high school therapist, Id like to know howyourefeeling now.
