BB23: Live Eviction and HOH Show Blog Party - Aug. 19

 

Good evening! We last left the show with a cliffhanger. So, we should, after the inevitable "previously on" segment, find out whether either or both vetoes were used and if the nominations changed from Claire and Derek F or not. Shh ... no spoilers here. Yes, many of us know what happened but ...!

I will be live-blogging, regularly updating this entry with 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!

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

On with the show! Yikes! Julie is wearing an absolutely boxy black dress. It has no shape! We'll sit through the Previously On.

Julie tells us chaos erupted just before the veto meeting. Will Britini's plea change Kyland's mind. The veto meeting. Kyland saves Claire. He puts Britini up as the renom. Alyssa does not use her Power of Veto.

Derek F is upset that he's on the block with Britini. He tells us he cannot campaign against her. Kyland thinks the Cookout will have enough votes to save Derek F and send Britini packing. Not unexpectedly, Britini is acting out -- crying, angry. She's crying in front of Derek F and she doesn't know that he knows he's just a pawn. Azah says it breaks her heart.

Tiffany and Claire talk about how Derek F is just going to skate by until the end. Ah, they are thinking about flipping the vote? Tiffany tells us it just can't happen because he is part of the Cookout. Meanwhile, Derek X is telling Hannah they should flip and get Derek F out. Of course, Hannah is part of the Cookout and, even though she likes the idea, knows it just can't happen. Claire and Derek X go to Tiffany. Now she's thinking that if they keep it up they themselves might have to go sooner rather than later.

Julie tells us that the Cookout knows they must win HOH or risk being exposed. Well, duh. Tiffany tells Xavier about Claire and Derek X. Sigh. Xavier says he will need to gun hard for the HOH. Xavier and Kyland talk about getting Derek X to feel he's safe and winning HOH this week might not be in his best interest. Xavier tries to talk Derek X into throwing the comp. Claire tells Derek X that it probably means he will be backdoored.

To the living room --

Britini -- Another rap. Into a real speech, individual game, love Julie Chen

Derek -- A gazillion shout-outs. Stresses his cooking and cleaning.

The votes to evict:

Xavier - Britini

Hannah - Britini

Claire - Britini

Derek X - Britini

Azah - Big D (Derek)

Tiffany - Britini

SarahBeth - Britini

Alyssa - Britini

Yet another house vote. I HATE THAT. Byebye Brit. First to jury. She hugs and loves them all. In the house scenes right after she leaves, Azah is in tears with Derek X consoling her and Derek F gets a big kiss on the mouth from Kyland. Britini handles the interview well. She believes it when several had told her they couldn't win next to her in a final two. She will eventually find out it's all lies.

HOH time. Dash to Dinner. Balance beam court, some wider than others, on the clock, 45 seconds to get to restaurant. Fastest time wins, over 45 seconds, out.

Claire first. 34.97

Alyssa 27.06 but eliminated because she fell and hit the ground

Derek F 34.6, but eliminated same as above

SarahBeth 21.03, Claire out

Azah over 21.03, stopped

Hannah same as Azah

Tiffany eliminated

Derek X Almost, but out

Xavier eliminated

SARAHBETH IS THE NEW HOH!
