Welcome to Big Brother Horror: Folklore!

Hello, and congratulations to all 14 of you for making it through the application stage of this process and onto the second season of Big Brother Horror! As you know, the theme this season is FOLKLORE, so we hope you've been studying up on your folk horrors, cryptids, and perhaps even Taylor Swift...

I'm your host, Gale Weathers, and this season both Theodora Crain and Jennifer Check are returning for co-hosting duties!

Tonight, we want to give you all a chance to get to know one another. That means there is no Head of Household competition to kick things off. Instead, you have the evening to mingle, build bonds, and forge alliances. Lord knows you're going to need them down the line!

Your first HOH competition kicks off tomorrow at 3pm ET, it's not live, and you will have until 7pm ET to submit. It's super simple, so don't worry about putting a load of time aside for it if you are busy.

While you have some time to chat, make sure to read the rules (click here), and game information (click here). You may also want to check out the official 'mingling' thread (click here). If you have any questions at all, do not hesitate to ask in your Diary Room, or via Twitter/Discord.
