BB23: Live Feeds into Thursday Morning - July 15

 

If I were two Dereks I wouldn't sit in those chairs!

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Murder Mysteries:

• Just a quick note -- don't forget tonight's live eviction show is at 8PM ET/PT. For years it was an hour later.
• It still looks like Travis will go.
• However, in his scramble for votes I forgot about the teams aspect until I was watching one of his talks with Frenchie.
• I'm not AS sure as he is, but he brought up that the teams should be voting for their own person on the block to stay.
• Therefore, both Travis and Alyssa should have three built-in votes from the get-go.
• Now, I don't think the teams are obligated in any way to vote to keep a teammate, so his thinking might be flawed.
• But, if they do, we're talking seven votes at stake.
• The one staying would need four of them.
• Frenchie was telling Travis that if it came to a tie, he would vote to keep him.
• His math must be off. 16 hamsters minus three who can't vote (HOH and two nominees) minus six (or even not) will result in an odd number. There will be no tiebreaker no matter how the votes go down.
• Frenchie keeps assuring Travis he has his back when in reality he's backing Alyssa. Or, at least I think he is. It's hard to tell with him as he keeps lying to people and changing his mind.
• Alyssa is worried that she will go.
• But I don't think she should worry so much.
• Despite the chaos of Frenchie's whirlwind HOH hot mess, this group is more interesting to watch than many past seasons.
• It seems for the most part that they have better than the average hamster candidates life experience-wise. True, the ages still gear young but we're not seeing the bartenders and dead-end jobs people so much.
• Well, Xavier lied and said he was a bartender, but he's a lawyer!
• He almost got caught with the lie when some were talking about going to Las Vegas and drinking after the season. He went and said he wasn't so much into either Vegas or drinking. He kind of clarified it by saying he's just a home-buddy at heart, but he needs to be careful.
• I usually don't think they should lie about their jobs. However, he just might have a point. People automatically think money when they think lawyers. Due to the fact he's 27, I think he's just starting out, doesn't earn a fortune and has student loans to pay. He's the one with 11 siblings, so I doubt his family is made of money!
• Frenchie seems to be focused on targeting Xavier rather than Derek X now. But he has no power, so I don't know how far that will go. I get the feeling that some of his followers are just surface following to avoid drama right now. I think the only real follower would be Derek F.
• As far as Derek F goes, although he is so tight with Frenchie, if it comes down to it he's surely going to be his own man.
• Brent is just using Frenchie. If he (Brent) doesn't win HOH, it will be interesting to see if he latches onto the new HOH.
• While everyone should be dubious of Frenchie at this point due to his all over the place reign, he does still have people who seem to trust him.
• Why? I just don't know.
• This house of hamsters tend to do group activities to amuse themselves (and us).
• Last night was some bizarre horror murders mystery led by SarahBeth. It came complete with werewolves and witches as well as gruesome murders as they "slept" through the night. 
• It's better than watching them play chess.
• The feeds went to adoptable animals for a while yesterday, totally unexplained. While we get blocked feeds (too often!) a lot, the animals are usually reserved for comps, veto meetings, comp instructions and such.
• Tiffany thinks Frenchie is using the current atmosphere in the world of social injustice and racial inequality for game purposes and is not sincere.
• I agree. From his bio, Frenchie is very cognizant of the issues. BUT ... he keeps telling POC and women they're safe with him, then targeting them. Hey, if you're going to talk the talk, follow it up with walking the walk. Otherwise, don't make promises when your actions belie them!
• I remain impressed with the women this season -- Tiffany, Claire and Azah are all huge show fans and probably the most well-rounded ones in years.
• Then there's Whitney and Alyssa who have now decided to work together. I don't have the same feelings about their skills in the game.
• How about SarahBeth, Britini and Hannah? Well, they have promise in the game.
• The men this season ... not so much.
• Huh. Britini made a promise to herself at 14 that she would remain a virgin. And, she stuck with it. Yay! It's nice to know that the likelihood of soft porn in the house this season is lessened even more. Allison Grodner may think that's what we like ... but NO.
• That's pretty much it for now.
• It still looks like it will be Travis out the door.
• Oh, well. He irks me anyway. I don't know why. Perhaps it's those too-short sleeved tight shirts showing off his muscles or the no shirt at all bit.
