Finally summer has come! With summer comes warm weather, less responsibilities, no school, and most importantly Big Brother. Big Brother will be on for a nineteenth season starting on June 28th on CBS and will provide enough drama to satisfy you for a lifetime. If you've never seen the best summer show on the planet, then it's time for you to check it out. Big Brother is a reality game show where strangers are locked inside a house with no outside contact for the chance to win $500,000. Every week, a Head of Household (HOH) competition is held and the winner gets to nominate two other housemates for eviction. However, they have a chance to save themselves with the veto completion where the winner can choose to take down one houseguest which means the HOH nominates another houseguest. The house votes on who to evict and then the week starts all over again. As simple as I've made the show sound, it's a lot more complex than that and it is guaranteed to keep you entertained throughout your summer because:

The Drama

The show is based around drama. The houseguests are from all different lifestyles which means that they are bound to fight. The competitions results in a constant change in power which makes people get paranoid. In addition, they have no one else to talk to besides their fellow housemates which makes them start to go stir crazy. Backstabbing is normal in the Big Brother house and it stirs up plenty of drama creating a fight in the majority of the episodes.

The Houseguests

One of the best things about Big Brother is the variety of people that go on the show. They are very LGBTQ friendly and welcome all races to compete. The Big Brother house makes everyone be on the same level and you will judge people based on their actions in the house rather than what they look like. You'll have your favorite houseguests, the ones you can't wait to get evicted, and then the floaters. The floaters are the houseguests that don't win competitions and don't really contribute much to the game; however, you know that they can still create the drama you need.

The Competitions

There are normally three competitions throughout the week: HOH comp, Veto comp, and an additional comp (which varies from season to season). There are a wide variety of competitions: some physical, some mental, and some a combination of the two. As simple as some of them may appear, they are entertaining nonetheless. They'll leave you rooting for your favorite houseguests and if they win, you'll never be happier. The costumes that the houseguest have to wear at the competitions are rather entertaining as well.

It's on Three Days a Week

That's right, Big Brother is on three days a week: Sunday, Wednesday, and Thursday! Each episode is an hour long and you'll be thankful that you don't have to wait one whole week to see more drama. Every Thursday is a live episode where a houseguest gets evicted. The breaks in-between episodes will leave you wanting more and counting down the days until the next episode.

The Showmances

It's not Big Brother with at least one showmance each season. A showmance is when two of the houseguest begin to date while in the Big Brother house. They ultimately become a big target, but you know that it wouldn't be the same if their wasn't a love connection in the house. Whatever new showmance will appear this season it will never beat Jeff and Jordan's or Brendan and Rachel's showmances.

The Chenbot

The host of Big Brother is none other than Julie Chen. She was given the name Chenbot for delivering her lines the same every week. You'll love Julie for this and without her "But first" line it wouldn't be Big Brother. Without the Chenbot, their is no Big Brother.

The Alliances

Of course throwing a bunch of strangers in the house will make people paranoid especially when money is involved. Some of the houseguest become immediate friends while others irritate each other. This leads to the houseguests creating alliances. The best part is the alliance names they come up with. Some of the best include: Chilltown, the Quackpack, the Detonators, the Brigade, Ball Smashers, and of course Brenchel.

The Twists

Every season of Big Brother is full of twists. Something that changes the game in a major way that makes the houseguests panic and cause them to backstab their friends. Every season is a new twist, so you'll never know how Big Brother will be different for the year. This helps keep the show fresh and new.

Zingbot

Every Big Brother fan lives for the episode that Zingbot comes in. Zingbot is a robot that comes in to roast the houseguests for the things that they've done throughout the summer. He normally comes in when there's at least half of the houseguests left. His jokes are so corny, yet so accurate towards the houseguests. And of course you'll love at the end of the joke when he goes "ZIIIINNGGGG!"

Big Brother is the best television show on over the summer. There's never a dull moment and the drama will keep you on the edge of your seat. So enjoy your summer, BUT FIRST make sure to check out Big Brother.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
