BB23: Veto Comp Show Blog Party - August 18

 

Let's gather in the yard around the pool ... it's time for the Power of Veto Comp! Since this is a show post, it's in that dreaded NO SPOILER ZONE. Let the folks who just watch the show be surprised, please!

Remember, they were gambling in the High Rollers Room twist for a chance at a second veto. Each "winner" can bet on a veto player for the win. If the person they bet on wins, that veto comp participant wins a second veto. It can be used this week or next but only used once.

I will be live-blogging, updating this entry with the major happenings 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 area -- please feel free to join in on the fun! Oh ... and bring snacks and beverages.

Previously on and on. Let's get to the action!

We are promised OTEV by the narrator. Kyland tells us that he needs to win one veto. Claire, SarahBeth, Kyland and Derek can all vote on the second veto. Britini feels safe with Kyland as they made a deal. Or, so she thinks. In watching the clip, it doesn't sound like he's agreeing to the deal.

Kyland tells us that right now Claire is a target but he would also consider Alyssa or Britini. Derek F is a bit worried about being a pawn. He's going around telling people he thinks he's the target and keeps lying to Azah and Britini. Azah is a bit skeptical and doesn't think her team (although teams are over) is safe.

Tiffany tells us that she's not ready to lose Claire just yet. She talks to Kyland. Claire had told Kyland she would target a Joker, then Xavier. Eek says Tiffany, now she will have to talk up Claire to save her. It works. Kyland turns his focus on either Alyssa or Britini.

Veto player pick time! Kyland draws Alyssa. Claire draws Azah. Derek F draws HG Choice and chooses Britini -- now all three remaining ex-Jokers are in.

The Veto Derby bets: But, first they get a clue that it's OTEV.

Kyland -- Alyssa

Derek F -- Britini

Claire -- Kyland

SarahBeth -- Azah

It is indeed OTEV, this time as a jellyfish. He is reminding me of Jessie. They have to search for cards with a specific jelly (made up with two HG names) to move on. Get Jacked Jellyfish. Derek F would like Britini to win so they are both safe.

First clue first evicted HG when the veto was used. Derek F last, all the others right. He's out first. 

Second, jelly of the evicted HG on a team together. Alyssa is killing this comp so far. Azah wants Britini to win and tries to throw it to her. Tiffany is not pleased with that. Azah last and out.

Third, evicted HG who participated in Massive Cocktail Comp. Britini up last. She's out. Azah threw it for nothing.

Fourth, evicted HG that was not team captain. Claire last. Claire out. It's between Alyssa (who, if I'm not mistaken) who has been first each time and Kyland. She tries to deal with Kyland.

Kyland wants to save Claire and throw to Alyssa.

In the fifth round, Kyland is obviously throwing to Alyssa. ALYSSA WINS THE POWER OF VETO. Kyland wins the second power of veto because he bet on Alyssa.

Back after the veto, Claire's punishment is over and she can get rid of the costume. Now Kyland's is over, too.

SarahBeth advises Kyland that she would like Derek F to go. Ah, but she thinks Britini is coming after her and Kyland, so she should go. Kyland tells Derek F that he wants to backdoor Britini. Derek tries to talk him out of it. He tries to steer him towards Derek X.

Kyland wants SarahBeth to give Britini a heads up. Eep. Why? Britini rushes to talk to him. She doesn't find him but tells the others. Ah, she finds him. All he tells her is that there are reasons. He tells her that she's unpredictable. He avoids the question about who will be saved. He tells her that was dependent on the second veto.

Britini cries. Kyland is touched by her pain, but ...!

And now BB goes for another cliffhanger.
