BB23: Power of Veto Show Blog Party - July 14

 

Come one, come all! Welcome to the madness we call Big Brother! Now, since I've been watching the live feeds, it seems like they've been in action for more than a month. Nope. It's been a week. Tonight's show is the third episode. Tomorrow night is the first eviction.

Because this is a show post and some people read these but do not follow the live feeds ... NO SPOILERS in the comments, please. Yes, feedsters already know the results, but do not mention them in comments until they happen on the show. Comments doing so will be removed. 

I'll be live blogging the major events as the show airs here on the East Coast. Refresh the page to get the latest news! As always, the real party is in the comments ... please feel free to join in on the fun!

Previously on ... we start off with Frenchie's safety promises. Teams, HoH, comps, meatheads, promising the women safety and on and on. 

We pick up at the end of the nominations. Frenchie tells us he has to be the showmance killer. His pawn, Kyland, feels hurt, heartbroken and confused. It would have been nice had Frenchie given him a heads up. Frenchie's main man Derek F is even confused. Alyssa is confused. True, Frenchie was limited in his noms but he went and promised safety to so many! 

Frenchie hasn't even talked to his own team about things. When Alyssa asks him why her he tells her the showmance with Christian. She's shocked and reminds him that it's day three. Christian figures out that he's the "big fish" Frenchie wants. (Safe due to Wildcard Comp win.) Frenchie thinks she lied to him.

Uh-oh! Frenchie realizes he made a mistake and now must decide on a new target! @@

Onto this week's social commentary. This time it's LBGTQ and SarahBeth's bisexuality.

Frenchie is telling us he needs to find a new target and he's prior military -- reminiscent of Philip on Survivor! Frenchie thinks Derek X is a snake. Frenchie accuses Derek X of being in an alliance. Frenchie tells Derek X he knows that he (and Travis) have been mentioning his name. Can we say HoH paranoia?

Brent wants to help Derek X because he's on his team. Brent reminds him of a backdoor. Derek X decides he really needs to win Veto to be safe this week.

Azah, Derek F and Tiffany bond. Xavier joins in. They decide that they're the Cookout and will each bond with another. The Cookout will be inviting Kyland. Yes, the Cookout is all about the Black culture in the house.

Then Xavier and Brent talk about a final two deal. Brent wants Derek X out of the target range and insert Travis in there. When Brent talks to Frenchie all of a sudden Frenchie wants to keep a safety promise? Huh.

Veto player picks time ... Frenchie goes first, gets Tiffany. Then Kyland who draws Houseguest's Choice, picks Travis. Alyssa draws Derek X. Heh. Frenchie didn't want either Travis or Derek X playing and they both are playing.

Derek F hosts the comp, tells them to change to swim gear and head to the backyard. There are huge drinks and a tropical atmosphere. Have to roll a cherry down a tube, then guide it with huge garnishes into their cup. Massive Cocktails is the name of the comp.

DEREK X wins the Power of Veto! He is also the only one working the puzzle smartly. Frenchie is sad, too bad.

Heehee ... Frenchie thinks if the veto isn't used his HOH is a total disaster. Too late.

He thinks he's going to have to go back on his word and the renom will be Travis. Brent wants Travis up. Derek X goes to talk to Frenchie -- very passive aggressive, do what you want to do, I want you to save Kyland. Frenchie lies to him and tells him that if Kyland remains, Derek is the target of others. Derek is promised safety but is dubious of Frenchie's integrity.

Alyssa tells Derek X she has his back if she wins HoH. She tells him that against Ky, she would go home. 

Time for the veto meeting. Derek X saves Kyland with the veto. Frenchie puts Travis up in his place. Frenchie says it's because he cannot beat him at the end of the game.

Frenchie is sure his HoH is a huge success. Azah refers to it as Frenchie's Funhouse.

Remember  --  tomorrow's show is at 8PM ET/PT.
