Julie shows a video tape of Frankie Grande, Britney Haynes and Danielle Reyes sneaking into the BB house. Frankie brings in a time laser and they are going to activate it to re-write their BB history. They countdown, and the laser moves all over the house. Britney says something is wrong, Frankie asks what have they done, Danielle says this is not good. The three make a run for it and leave the house, and leave the time laser there.
Their plan backfired and the Big Brother multiverse has cracked open. It means that they have changed the house and changed the game, creating the most unpredictable season of Big Brother ever. What we do know, four universes have taken over. The BB Comic Verse, The Humili Verse, The Scary Verse and the Scramble Verse. At any point this season these multi verses can twist up the game.
The newbies are going to be entering the house four at a time. They can look around, but then go in the backyard where there will be four competitions, each of the Big Brother multiverses. Each person from each group must choose a spot at one of the four competitions.
The first four are Felicia, Red, America and Matt. They have to choose a spot on the pink mat at each competition. The next group is Cory, Blue, Jared and Izzy, they have to choose a spot on the green mats. Next up is Kirsten, Luke, Bowie and Jag, they have to choose a spot on the yellow mats. Hisam, Mecole, Cameron and Reilly are last, they have to choose a spot on the blue mats.
It is time to begin the first competition of the summer, but the scramble-verse has changed the game. Tonight, they are not competing to be HOH, instead it is a nomination competition. The loser of each of each of the four competitions will be nominated for eviction and could be the first to leave the Big Brother house. For the first time ever, the nominations will be revealed before the HOH is crowned. Needless to say, there is a lot at stake.

America is the first to finish, then Bowie Jane, and Nicole. Jared is the first houseguest nominated for eviction.
