...and remember, your fellow Houseguests cannot hear you, so feel free to speak candidly…
MAUREEN: OH MY GOD I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M FINALLY IN THE BIG BROTHER HOUSE! This has been my dream since I was a little girl and now it's finally happening!
RODNEY: I walk into the Big Brother house, and immediately, I'm thinking, wow, I might be the oldest guy here this year. That could be a problem...or I could use it to my advantage, to make them all think I'm less of a threat.
LESLIE: Y'all, don't tell my husband, but the men in this house? Wow. Just. Wow.
TYLER: I'm looking around this house and there are beautiful women and beautiful men and just everywhere I turn is someone hot.
AARON: Everyone seems so nice at first, but I know that this is Big Brother and while everyone may seem nice and friendly now, they're all waiting to stab me in the back.
TOBY: We're all going around the room introducing ourselves, and y'all, I'm a superfan, so I know that people sometimes lie about their occupation to seem like less of a threat. So when Rodney says he's a pastor, that's a MAJOR red flag to me.
JONATHAN: No way in hell is Rodney a pastor...no pun intended.
MARY: I don't know who Rodney is, but he's not a pastor.
RODNEY: I've been a pastor for about fifteen years now, after I got clean I wanted to totally turn my life around and it just made sense, so I went into seminary and here we are.
TOBY: He's not a pastor.
AARON: When Julie Chen tells us that we're about to vote based on first impressions, I'm feeling pretty good.
TYLER: I don't want to go on first impressions! Why wouldn't you vote out someone who's gonna be good at competitions, like me?
PATRICK: I have to say that I'm feeling pretty confident right now that I don't seem like the biggest threat, but...you never know.
TOBY: I'm not telling anyone I'm a superfan, but I definitely have the whole nerdy look and I'm afraid people are gonna figure it out and think I'm the next Steve or Ian. I don't wanna be voted out so quickly like Cameron was last year!

AFTERMATH
AARON: So THAT was way too close to comfort, and I can see that I'm gonna have to turn everything around to get these people to trust me, but I'm SAFE, baby!
LESLIE: (crying) I don't know what I did to these people for me even to be in the top three who could have gone out, but the fact that it's all based on first impressions makes it even more difficult.
PATRICK: If you think I'm not gonna fight for that first HOH, you can think again. I don't like that that vote was split so heavily, and I definitely don't like knowing that I could have been one of those rogue votes.
MIA: So Patrick comes up to me and says, like, "You voted for Rodney, right?" And of course I'm like, "Yeah, I voted for Rodney…" but actually, I wanted Aaron out, and the fact that Patrick is being so paranoid scares me...it's day one. I might shoot for that Head of Household so I can take a shot at Patrick.
MAUREEN: I honestly don't want this HOH. I know I can fight for it, but they don't know that, all they see is a short little girl. I'm not gonna show all my cards just yet, Big Brother!
