BB23: HoH Comp Finish/Nominations Show Blog Party - Aug. 8

 

Good evening! As you're all aware, much has been happening on the live feeds. But, since this is a show post and people who do not watch the feeds come here, please remember this is a NO SPOILERS ZONE. Thank you!

I'll be live-blogging, updating this post with the major happenings as the show airs here on the East Coast. Refresh the page for the latest news! As always, the real party is in the comments area -- please feel free to join in on the fun!

Previously on brings up the Cookout and Tiffany's strategy for their success. We pick up the action at the HOH comp ... Derek falls off the wall first -- shocking everybody, of course! It's been raining on them and the "passengers" above them are ill with green slime vomit. Claire gives up since she has safety anyway.

One by one they keep falling -- SarahBeth and Hannah simultaneously, Kyland, Britini ...

Tiffany doesn't really care about winning the HOH. She just doesn't want Alyssa to win it and feels she needs to outlast her.

A shivering Azag goes down. Derek X looks one with the wall, barely moving and lined up right against the wall. Tiffany slips and falls and Alyssa remains up. Xavier and Alyssa deal with Derek X for safety and then Alyssa goes down followed by Xavier.

DEREK X is the new HOH. One hour 23 minutes was the length of the comp.

Alyssa is all whiny and feeling sorry for herself saying how she sucks at comps. Hannah and Derek X jump around in the storage room. She tells us she wants his HOH to be her HOH. She has targets in mind for her own game's good.

Christian doesn't have safety like others on his team but thinks he can't go up -- he could only be a backdoor. SarahBeth and Hannah (who they have started to call Chaddha - sp?) try to mend fences. Well, SarahBeth does, anyway.

Derek X talks with Claire and Tiffany. He tells them that he gave safety to Alyssa and Xavier but Xavier wants him to guarantee all Kings safe. That's not the deal. 

In front of Hannah Tiffany slips and mentions the Royal Flush when Derek X talked about backdooring Christian. Derek does not want to nominate Christian right off. After Tiffany leaves them, Hannah questions him about the Royal Flush. He tries to convince her it's a one week thing.

Hannah talks to Tiffany about it, too. Tiffany is aghast that she herself let it slip. She too downplays it. But Hannah is keeping it in mind just in case she needs that information in the future.

Derek F and Azah talk. She tells us her face gives away her emotions. Derek tells us that you have to fake it until you make it in the house. He tries giving Azah lessons.

Xavier once again tries to get safety for the Kings. Derek X says no. Xavier points out to us that the Kings are all a part of the Royal Flush. Is Derek going against the Royal Flush?

Derek talks to SarahBeth who also says she would like the Royal Flush to be safe. What can she offer him? Would she be willing to be a pawn?

Segment on Derek F's sleeping habits.

Derek X continues his HOH questioning. No one wants to say they would go up as a pawn. Britini seems the closest to saying okay. He decides to talk to Hannah. She advises going after Christian and tells him that Britini would likely target him before SarahBeth would.

Time for the nominations ceremony! Derek nominates SarahBeth, then Britini. He tells them trust is an issue and they were nominated to keep his trust in the game. Say what?

Derek tells us that he wants to backdoor Christian but will take out SarahBeth if it comes down to that.
