BB23: Live Eviction and HOH Comp Show Blog Party - Aug. 26

 

Good evening! Tonight the second jury member will be sent packing and the Cookout will continue to be full strength. I suppose, if I were in the house, I would feel the need to get Derek X out while I had a chance. Think about it. Who would you rather be with in the final two? Claire or Derek X? Which one would you have a better chance to win against? You know the answer and I fear that is what we will see tonight.

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

Julie is wearing black slacks and an off the shoulders matching black top tonight. And, we're sitting out the Previously On segment as I type this.

Day 51 and history stands poised to repeat itself as a person is in danger for not taking a chance -- paraphrasing Julie. "Who's running the Cookout?" Xavier thinks Derek X has been the biggest threat all along. Claire thinks so, too. SarahBeth is pleased that he should go. Tiffany thinks keeping him would be best.

Claire and Derek X are sad that they're together on the block. Tiffany, Azan and Alyssa talk ... should they keep Derek? Hannah listens to Xavier as he tries to convince everyone that Derek X must go. He thinks he has Azah back on track with his reasoning. He tries for Tiffany. Kyland tells Tiffany that Derek X must go. She thinks he's angry because he knows she and Derek X have thought of SarahBeth as a target.

Tiffany tells Xavier she understands but whatever they want to do. He feels reassured with that. She tells us that she is only telling Kyland and Xavier what they want to hear and she wants to flip the vote. She goes to Hannah talking about how the Cookout considered Kyland needs to go first and how the guys think they are carrying the women. That is her reasoning why they need to keep Derek X.

Everyone is called to gather in the living room. Xavier's Strategy Shutdown starts. He won't be released until freed to vote by Julie. While he checks out his new digs, Tiffany is trying to get a fire under Derek's butt to gather votes. He thinks he has Tiffany, Hannah and Kyland. Um. Kyland has been working with SarahBeth to get him on the block! She thinks he can get Azah. He needs four votes. 

His pitch to Azah is decent, leveling the playing field for her, Tiffany and Hannah. He cries. She consoles. She seems to be considering keeping him. 

Of course, this could all be editing to make it sound like he actually has a chance to stay.

To the living room for the vote, all hamsters are dressed up:

Claire - Shout outs, love all, HG such a pleasure so far, individual game if I am an asset keep me. Love to stay.

Derek X - Shout outs, HG in BB deflection points within the game. Another deflection point, will take biggest threat "her" out and be a shield.

The votes to evict:

Alyssa - Derek X

Hannah - Claire

To commercial ...

Kyland - Claire

Derek F - evotes Derek X

Tiffany - Derek X!!!

Azah - Derek X

Xavier - Derek X

With the exception of Tiffany's and Kyland's vote swaps, no surprises. Derek X is going to jury. He gives Tiffany a ring. The interview is skimped on, goodbye messages will be on the extended interview online tomorrow. Another American Red Cross charity donation promotion.

Julie tells us the HG had a short time to study videos on the Memory Wall in prep for the comp.
