BB23: Live Eviction and HOH Show Blog Party - July 29

 

Y'all ready for a third hamster down? I am! While it seems to be longer, this is just the third week. Oy! I found it much easier to get the names down with this more diverse cast. Alas, although it's more diverse and split into teams, they're still leaning towards house votes. I hate that. Hopefully it will change after tonight.

I'll be live blogging the major events as the show airs here on the East Coast. Refresh the page to get the latest happenings! As always, the real blog party is in the comments area. I hope to see you there! (Bring snacks and tasty beverages, please!)

********************************

On with the show! Just a note -- I'm under a severe thunderstorm watch as well as a tornado watch here. If I vanish, it's most likely a power outage.

Oh my. Julie is sporting a tight-legged with off one shoulder grey outfit. Hmm. Let's commence thumb-twiddling until the end of the "previously on" segment.

We pick up the action with Julie telling us that all week the hamsters have been fooling Brent that he's safe. She tells us that pulling off a blindside isn't easy. Brent tells us he should stay 6 to 5.

He really thinks they're all on his side. Others are agreeing with Brent's ideas just in case. Brent is sure that Xavier will not see it coming! Brent tells Dere X and Kyland that next week it will be Xavier and Christian on the block. Of course, he also mentioned that Britini would be going home.

Brent almost catches Hannah discussing his demise with Derek X. Ohh , Derek F thinks that Xavier, who is a lawyer but lied and said he's a bartender, is a lawyer. Heh. He's right.

There is a bunch of hamsters hiding from Brent in the HOH room. Meanwhile, Brent corners Alyssa about staying. Whitney tells us that deep down she thinks Brent is a good guy and tries to give him some life/game advice. 

Claire tells us she feels sorry for him but no way can they tell him about the blindside.

Julie tells us that with Brent going the focus turns to the strongest team in the house. They discuss a Kings team member going. Derek X doesn't want to take the shot (HOH) because he's in the Royal Flush alliance with them. Alyssa wants to target Whitney. Derek X is in a quandary. Tiffany thinks a duo from the Kings side needs to go, at least one of them. Derek X advises Claire and Tiffany that Whitney would take a shot.

Meanwhile the Kings know that one of them would most likely be the target. Hannah's name is brought up as well as Whitney's for nominations if they win HOH.

Julie is questioning whether the blindside is still in place or not. Hmm. That's definitely a hint.

To the living room--

Britini - Another rap starts but then she gets normal. She will be their sunshine on their darkest days, etc.

Brent - Shout-outs. Actions speak louder than words. My actions! We had fun.

The votes to evict:

Christian - Brent

Azah - Brent

Derek X - Brent

Kyland - Brent

Claire - Brent

Hannah - Brent

SarahBeth - Brent

Alyssa - Brent

Derek F - Brent

Whitney - Brent

Tiffany - Brent

It's unanimous. You can tell by his reaction that he knew it. Someone told him. He does leave the house with grace.

He tells Julie he isn't surprised because he's had a huge target on his back from the beginning and it's a game of betrayal. He's a strong personality and a physical threat. She mentions his own teammates turned on him. He says he's not shocked and Hannah must have just gone along with the herd.

INTERRUPTION ARGH STORM WATCH TORNADO AND FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS!

Due to the storm interruption, I missed the whole start of the comp. It's a puzzle. Each team is playing one at a time timed.

CHRISTIAN IS THE NEW HOH! He, Allysa and SarahBeth are safe.

Final Wild Card tomorrow. Next week is the first endurance comp of the season for HOH.
