Big Brother: BB24 HOH Comp, Nominations Show Blog Party - July 17

 

Good evening! Ready for another night of fun and tomfoolery? Although the results of the HOH comp, nominations and even the Power of Veto is known on the live feeds because they're real time, tonight's show will just cover the HOH comp and nominations. I ask that you do not post any live feeds spoilers here on the show post. Thank you!

I found the source of the missing comments from other posts. If it happens again tonight, I can restore any missing comments during the commercial breaks when I'm not actively blogging the show. I don't know the fix, though. Blogger is putting them in the Spam folder!

I will live blog the major events of the show as it airs here on the East Coast. Refresh the page to get the latest news! As always, the real party is in the comments section. I hope to see you there!

Previously on is going over all the various alliances and the worries of the Backstage Pass holders. Oh, geez ... the Paloma tears. Gag me now. Now Jasmine hurt her ankle. Oh, boohoohoo.

We open with them returning from the pre-HOH comp. Taylor is thrilled to be in the house and competing for HOH. Heh. Daniel thinks his HOH meant nothing as all three of his nominees remain in the house. He thinks it makes him a bigger target.

Jasmine has crutches which she is not using right. Others are helping her. She tells us it's only sprained.

Brittany is another one thrilled to still be in the house. As a Backstage Pass holder she had been full of gloom and doom.

Pooch wants Taylor to be targeted again. Indy is upset that she lost the pre-HOH. She hates losing and always feels like she must be the strongest in her family. She is consoled by Taylor. Alyssa is taking strides to get in more with Taylor.

Daniel is dressed in farm gear and announces with a horrible Southern accent that it's time for the HOH comp. It looks like it's set up for a pie-eating comp. @@ We have Taylor, Monte, Michael, Jasmine, Ameerah, Kyle and Joseph competing.

Each round a true or false question about the BB Hotel, search through pie with mouth only for the correct answer. Each round the pie grows.

First round last two eliminated. Sign above dining room table says Color TV. Last two Kyle and Monte too slow, eliminated.

Next round - First three advance. The refrigerator in the kitchen is red. Taylor and Joseph out.

Third round - First two move on. Jasmine, Michael and Ameerah competing. Commercial cliffhanger alert! There are five exercise bikes in the downstairs gym. Ameerah out incorrect answer.

Jasmine and Michael move on to the final round. Jasmine asks Michael to throw the comp to her. She promises him safety. She wants the letter from home. The neon diver over the stairs is wearing a pink bathing suit. 

JASMINE wins HOH!

Jasmine needs to use her hands and arms for the crutches. She is hanging all of her weight on her underarms. They are all cleaning up after the comp.

Michael wants to work with Taylor -- he's glad she's still in the game. Meanwhile, Nicole and Daniel want to gather up a six-person alliance. 

Pooch is still gunning for Taylor. He thinks the best plan to get her out is for him to go up as a pawn, beat her in PoV. He suggests it to Alyssa. She is another claiming superfan and tells us that is a dumb move. Well, duh. Yeah. Anytime volunteering to go on the block is dumb!

Alyssa suggests to her group that they take Pooch up on his offer to go on the block and then just go ahead and vote him out.

Time for a segment on Indy being a sex coach. Looking for ratings, CBS?

Pooch goes to the HOH room and volunteers to go on the block as a pawn, up against Taylor. Jasmine tells us she would be happy if either of them go home. Pooch thinks he's building up some kind of BB resume with this move. Oh my.

Taylor knows she would be an "easy" nomination for Jasmine as she was on the block last week. Jasmine tells her that she will go up as a pawn. Now Taylor is more worried if someone uses the POV.

Time for the Nominations Ceremony. Jasmine wheels out on a knee scooter, promptly drops the nom box. She nominates Taylor, then Pooch. Says Taylor didn't talk game with her, honor first HOH. Pooch, Backstage Boss.
