Those Dereks should get out of the nomination chairs!

Things are still a bit new and chaotic in the habitrail. So, what's been happening in that Big Brother House of Terrifying Teams? Here ya go:

• None of them slept a heck of a lot last night. Chalk that up to excitement and nerves.
• Xavier was the first to go to bed, albeit around four in the morning their time. He was also the first to get up about three or four hours later.
• Most of them seem to still be used to East Coast time and they're early risers.
• All the rooms except for the Have Not Room seem to have been very warm.The Have Not Room is still upstairs near the HOH and has an entrance hallway with a door. But at least it's normal sized this season.
• Xavier made your basic slop with the recipe this morning. He says he wanted to see how it tastes before he thinks of things to add (like cinnamon and such).
• Frenchie might be working too hard to set up allies and an alliance.
• He already had a deal with Tiffany and Whitney.
• Today he was working on Xavier and Kyland.
• He keeps saying he doesn't like the huge alliance like Gr8ful.
• Although he hasn't said it, I think he was planning on possibly targeting Brent -- he says he wants to go after the alpha males and showmancers. 
• Those plans might be awry as he had a long talk with Brent and found out that Brent's father committed suicide and Brent is very family oriented.
• Frenchie ended up making a deal to keep Brent safe this week if Brent keeps him safe if he gets HOH.
• I just wish he'd put on a shirt.
• I'm still thinking Frenchie will probably nominate Christian and Travis.
• Travis would probably go over Christian as Christian has been mingling more.
• Although Frenchie mentioned "Slaughterhouse" to both Kyland and Xavier, he did not mention it to Brent.
• The Slaughterhouse alliance now has Frenchie, Whitney, Azah, Britini, Derek F, Tiffany, Kyland and possibly Xavier.
• There is also a Cook Out Alliance that has Tiffany, Xavier, Derek F and Azah.
• Already the alliances have kicked in despite the teams concept.
• So much for that!
• I personally would go for the word "Abattoir" which means slaughterhouse but sounds so much cooler.
• But Frenchie didn't ask me.
• As of now, all are still getting along very well.
• There have been no brouhahas, not even a kerfuffle.
• I'm a bit dismayed that Derek X wants to go for an alpha male team. He would do better mingling with the crowd more. Derek F thinks he's great.
• I find it refreshing that (so far) this season I'm not seeing the jealousy bit and cattiness among the women. If they can stick together, they could be formidable!
• Thankfully last night's LOUD HORRIBLE music loop with "turn it up" vocals has been replaced by the regular loud annoying theme loop. It's annoying but less so than the "turn it up" garbage.
• The feeds were blocked with adoptable animals apparently in relation to the Wildcard Comp Julie mentioned last night. Long time blocked!
• When they came back on, the backyard was open. Since they had been in quarantine then sequester, then house ... they ALL wanted outside time.
• Frenchie now seems to think Derek X is up to something, possibly throwing Christian under the bus? I don't see why that would matter so much to him (Frenchie) as he isn't too keen on Christian himself. He wants to talk to Derek X.
• Frenchie told Derek F and Tiffany that they need to decide on pawns. They decide Britini can indeed be trusted.
• Christian tried to get some sort of nomination inkling from Frenchie. Travis is nervousing a bit. Frenchie just mentions pawns.
• I guess they were told not to talk about the comp.
• I expect nominations tomorrow night.
• I predict but would not wager that it will be Travis and Christian.
• I guess we'll see.

UPDATE: It sounds like Christian won the Wildcard Comp and he's safe, also made Xavier safe this week. There goes what I think was Frenchie's plan. He definitely should be putting Travis up, maybe with Derek X or Brent as a pawn? Hmm. He did promise Brent he would be safe this week but didn't say he wouldn't be a pawn.

Frenchie tells Kyland of the Slaughterhouse plan

Put a shirt on, bro

Britini seems in with Azah ... interesting duo

Now Frenchie is talking working with Xavier ... hmm
