BB23: HOH and Nominations (?) Show Blog Party - Sept. 17

 

Yes, it's Friday. Yes, there is a show tonight. There is no show this Sunday due to the Emmy Awards. I can only guess what tonight's show will be. Judging by what we normally see on Sunday and what has happened on the live feeds, I'm guessing an HOH comp and nominations. Remember, since this is a show post, it's a NO SPOILERS ZONE.

I'll be live blogging and updating this entry 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!

Sitting through "Previously On." It seems that I'm right about what will be on the show.

The action opens with the final four celebration. Derek is being obnoxious. Everything needs to be handed to him and it's not. 

They rehash house happenings before Azah made her nominations. Azah feels her best bet for final three is to stay loyal to the guys. We'll see how that works out for her. Kyland tells Hannah that he promised Xavier he would save him if he won the veto (which he did). Xavier tells us that he didn't want to put Azah in the spot to choose between Derek and Hannah so they need to vote out Hannah unanimously. Derek is salty about being on the block.

Sidenote: Derek is always messing with his ears. Ew.

Azah is finally getting an inkling that Xavier and Kyland might not really be loyal to her. Hannah gets evicted. Azah feels played because Kyland saved Xavier with the veto and didn't tell her.

Xavier and Kyland talk more on the final two deal. Meanwhile, Xavier tells us his real loyalty is to Derek. EW! That makes me lose all respect I had for him as a player in the game. Azah is still all upset. Derek tells Xavier he is mad that he wasn't aware what Kyland was going to do with the veto. 

They have to gather in the living room. A woman from a new CBS CSI show is on the monitor. The HOH comp has to do with the show and the winner gets to screen an episode.

The HOH is at the BB Crime Lab. Derek thinks it's something he can actually win. Yeah, right. They have to collect clues in the crime scene, find the five clues, gather the five pieces of evidence, correct ones will bring up the suspect. The fastest to solve the crime wins.

Derek is up first. He doesn't fare all that well. Xavier is up next. He seems to be more observant with the clues than Derek was. Kyland's turn. He is more observant than Derek was, but doesn't seem as fast as Xavier. He is the only one right on all the clues the first time. But was he fast enough?

Derek 15:44. Kyland 14:52, Xavier 10:18.

XAVIER IS THE NEW HOH!

Derek is upset that he lost and feels like he's riding coattails. I say, if the shoe fits, wear it. Azah is super-subdued. Kyland is upset that he lost and is worried that he might end up on the block. Kyland feels he needs to win the veto. Xavier tells us Kyland is right to worry and needs to win the veto.

Xavier makes the rounds. He talks to Azah and denies he has a final two with Kyland. He really seems very awkward with her. Derek is worried. He hints that the better final three would be them and Azah rather than Kyland. Xavier is really putting him on the spot. He also told us that he wants Derek to have the "blood on his hands" for sending one of them home.

Nominations time! Xavier first nominates Azah, then Kyland. He says Azah hasn't been nominated yet, Kyland competition record. Wishes them well in the veto comp.
