Big Brother Reindeer Games - Ep. 3 Blog Party

 

                                                                                  CBS

Ah, finally to the first one-hour episode. I'm sorry. I'm just having issues with all the long episodes of everything these days!

While I won't be live blogging the show as I usually do, I will pop in now and then with a screen shot or comment. But I do hear there's a party going on in the comments section. I hope to see you there!

I will fill you in with major things like who wins the comps, who gets the boot, etc. I'll even throw in a screencap now and again.

Since we have no pool, I'm just keeping track here who gets the boot and what they win on the way out --

Cody Calafiore (BB16 and BB22) Eliminated 2nd/won a fruitcake.
Nicole Franzel (BB16, BB18 and BB22) 
Frankie Grande (BB16)
Taylor Hale (BB24)
Cameron Hardin (BB25) Eliminated 1st/won year subscription jelly.
Brittany Haynes (BB12 and BB14)
Josh Martinez (BB19)
Xavier Prather (BB23)
Danielle Reyes (BB3 and BB7)

Who will be cast out into the cold cruel world tonight?

Why oh why has Nicole done NOTHING with that messy hair bun all these years?

We can expect drama tonight. Good. 

Uh-oh. The other women are onto the Danielle/Xavier duo.

The doorbell rings and it's Derek X. (BB23), our second Elf Ambassador. It's the Naughty or Nice Challenge. Oh my! The crooner has been dumped by his gal! Eep. He gets to the 9th day and loses it. Santa thinks they can help him figure out why she dumped him. Find scrambled letters on cookies and give him the four-word phrase as to why she dumped him. Winner gets a two-minute head start in the Jingle Bell Brawl.

I have it figured out. "You are too clingy." See if I'm right. I'm right and so is Taylor, the winner of the Naughty or Nice challenge. Both Josh and Xavier offer themselves to Taylor as the Naughty recipient.

Taylor chooses to give the Naughty list disadvantage to Josh.

Jingle Bell Brawl. 

Similar to the tiny tweezer comps

They have to rebuild tiny cookies. Josh can't see his photo of what it should look like for five minutes. NICOLE thought she won but was incorrect and didn't match the image given her. Now, NICOLE won the Jingle Bell Brawl!

Today Santa's Showdown is a one-person comp. That person will choose the next one to play if he/she wins. The second person has less time to play.

Time for the Santa Showdown in the Candy Cane Forest. Mrs. Santa's favorite ornament is trapped in a snow globe. First player gets the most time, each after that gets less. If the person completes it, they choose the next.

She sends in Frankie. He has five and a half minutes. 

Reminds me of the egg through chicken wire but moving.

Frankie finished it in 3.11 minutes. Frankie has to send someone else out. They will have one less minute. Frankie sends Xavier to do it next. Xavier completes it with 17 seconds left on the clock. Now he has to send someone in. He talks to everyone. Britney begs him not to send her. Nicole asks him not to send Britney. 

So ... he sends Britney. SHE BEATS IT WITH a minute 17 seconds left!

Finding out that Danielle is being protected by Xavier and possibly threw her under the bus, Britney chooses Danielle. Taylor had volunteered.

Danielle does not finish the comp. Lots of tears. She is out of the game. Her prize on the way out is the $5,000.
