BB23: Power of Veto Show Blog Party - August 11

 

Hello fellow hamster watchers! I'd call us voyeurs but that sounds too creeper-like. Tonight is the Power of Veto comp as well as the PoV meeting during which the veto is used ... or not. We're going into this with Britini and SarahBeth on the block. Will those same two be nominated for eviction by the time the show ends?

Well, we might know some of the happenings from the live feeds. However, since this is a show post, it's in the No Spoilers Zone. Please, let the folks who just watch the shows enjoy this! Merci.

 

I will be live-blogging all the major events as the show airs here on the East Coast. Refresh the page to get the latest updates! As always, the real party is in the comments area. I hope to see you there! Bring snacks!

Previously on and blah-blah-blah. They sprawling across the TV screen that we're under a severe thunderstorm warning and I can hear the thunder. Hopefully my power will stay on.

Derek X talks to us about backdooring Christian while SarahBeth is surprised that he went after the Royal Flush. Britini is mad and cries to Derek F. The Royal Flush is all upset. Christian promises his fellow King that he will fight for her in PoV and she should choose him if she gets HG choice.

SarahBeth tells us she needs Derek X to be honest with her. He tells her that she's not the target. He tells her that if she comes off the block, he won't be putting up a Joker. He lets her know he wants to backdoor Christian.

Derek X tells us that he has to tell his fellow Royal Flush people that his target is Britini. He claims that he felt he had to nominate a King as Hannah was suspicious. He claims another Joker would go up if Britini comes off. Christian trusts him. Heh.

Many seem to be supporting SarahBeth. When Alyssa tells her that she will save her if she wins PoV, it makes SarahBeth realize that Christian (Alyssa's showmance) would be backdoored, but she doesn't let on.

Veto player pick time -- Derek X draws Alyssa. SarahBeth gets Claire. Britini draws Kyland (after she tells us she wants anyone but Kyland as he would save SarahBeth). Derek X is thrilled that Christian was not picked to play.

Veto Comp time. The backyard is set up with workout equipment. Kingdom of Curl A Lot. Everyone gets a prize, rewards and punishments. As they do the first exercise, Claire tells us she doesn't need to win it. She wins the Viceroy of Veto. She knows it will be taken. 

SarahBeth loses by a smidgen to Britini. Baroness of Bling ($5,000) and she keeps it! Her rationale is that Britini is still in it and would take the veto away. Kyland is out next, gets Duke of the Deck -- wearing a card costume and play 52 Pick Up on demand. He trades for Claire's veto.

Derek X out next. He gets the Jackass of Clubs. Jackass costume and make sandwiches on demand. He approaches SarahBeth about the money, but backs down as he just didn't have the heart to do it.

It's down to Alyssa and Britini. Britini is going wild with it and WINS! Alyssa wins Count of Communications. New phone and laptop, will get a phone call later this week and if still there in four weeks, a video call. Britini gets Lord of the Latrine -- punishment announcing arrivals to bathroom. She swaps for the Veto, of course. So, Britini has (technically) won the Power of Veto.

Derek's costume is very royal. Anyone wanting to use the bathroom must ask him for permission, he needs to unlock a hasp lock which has been installed and announce them and he's having fun with it. He does poop out, so to speak, after six hours.

Derek X thinks it's smart to warn Alyssa that there's a backdoor Christian plan? Oy. She tries to talk him out of it. She is not a happy camper about it at all.

Of course, she goes to Christian and tells him.

No, Derek X ... you are not blindsiding him if everyone including him knows you're doing it.

Time for the veto meeting. Christian wants Derek F on the block instead of himself. And, the show edit saves the suspense for tomorrow night. What a rip-off!
