BB25: Live Feeds, Part One HOH Winner - Nov. 6

 

Could he be regretting his decision?

Here's a quick update from inside that Big Brother House of What Have I Done?:

• The live feeds were down most of the night.
• When they returned, MATT won Part One of the three-part final HOH comp.
• It was an endurance in which they hung onto something and got wet and cold.
• Bowie Jane and Jag were talking about Matt holding on with just one hand at times.
• They both commented that Felicia would have fallen off soon after it started.
• I could be way off base, but the way they were talking reminds me a bit of the final HOH comp round that Evel Dick won against all odds. But that was all one-handed.
• Although they seem very confused, I'll set the record straight what happens from here.
• HOH Part Two will have Jag and Bowie Jane competing. As winner of Part One, Matt automatically advances to Part Three.
• It will be a taped comp, done probably within the next day or two.
• That one is usually a mental comp.
• HOH Part Three will have the winners of Part One and Part Two competing live on finale night.
• So, that would be Matt against the winner of Part Two -- either Jag or Bowie Jane.
• The winner of Part Three sends one person out the door and it's down to the final two.
• Then the jury votes between the two on the live finale.

Bowie Jane can't even smile.

No need to give stank face, you won it!

BB25: HOH Wall Endurance Comp Updates - Sept. 14

 

I'm setting this post to go live near the end of the airing of the live eviction show on the East Coast. However, I don't know when the live feeds will kick in. When they do, I'll be updating this!

I did find out that BB19 winner Josh Martinez is hosting (?) it and he posted this photo of the comp on Twitter --

ET times, all still in

9:08PM ET Cirie down

9:11PM ET feeds cut for a minute, all the rest still up

9:18PM ET - Felicia down after taunting the meatballs

9:20PM ET - It's raining on them.

Just a note that Cam is trying to do a play by play and encourage people

9:21PM ET - America down.

9:23PM ET - Another meatballs attack, then the wall tilts.

Into a feeds cut.

Feeds back ... still Cirie, Felicia and America down, all the others remain.

9:27PM ET - Rain, then wall tilt. Mecole down.

JARED IS THE NEW HOH!

BB25: Pressure Cooker HOH Comp Show Blog Party - Aug. 27

 

THE SHOW IS DELAYED ON THE EAST COAST DUE TO GOLF. 60 MINUTES IS STARTING AT 7:36PM EDT, SO I EXPECT BB TO START AT 8:36PM EDT. I AM POSTING THIS ON TIME BUT WILL NOT BE UPDATING UNTIL THE SHOW STARTS. HAVE I MENTIONED I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO INTEREST IN GOLF?

Good evening! I'm still recovering from covering this one on the live feeds! I will say, spoilers aside, this group of hamsters surprised me and we had ourselves a real pressure cooker, kind of sort of.

That aside ... I will be live blogging this show, constantly updating this entry 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!

Finally ... the show is about to start. Previously on segment starts us off.

We get to see Hisam get evicted again and the Kaysar appearance warning the hamsters of the Pressure Cooker. Day 23. They are in there in pitch black -- we have night vision views so we can see. They see nothing. Felicia is in the living room watching the action on the screen in there.

America is thrilled it's the Pressure Cooker. She knows BB's Pressure Cooker was the longest comp in BB history at 14 hours. We get a bit on the many alliances of Cirie.

At 36 minutes, Izzy starts some scat singing bits. They all look painfully bored.

At 1 hour in, Felicia is comfortable snacking and watching. Both her and Cerie have mentioned they don't want Cameron or Red to win. Cameron starts a boring Cameron story. Jared hears something.

Whoa! 1 hour 17 minutes, Jared is out. He gets a card that reads "New Friends." The cover lifts off the enclosure of huge beautiful live snakes! Then the lights go out again. Cirie switched hands and had her shirt sleeve on the button, slipped. She gets a six-pack of beer. Kaysar is announcing the prizes each time.

America talks of her interest in Cory.

Izzy is making noises to throw the others off. At 3 hours 33 minutes, her hand slips as she is having her music in her head dancing her body. She wins a concert. Heavy metal techno club music blasts at them.

In the house, Jared is surly about going out. Izzy is crying. Meanwhile, 5 hours 2 minutes, 6 hours 35 minutes. It goes on. Bowie is out at 8 hours 35 minutes. She wins a pressure cooker for her kitchen. Matt out at 9 hours 40 minutes. He threw it. Matt releases the flies to torment them. (Just to note on the live feeds the flies were all dormant due to the cold in the room. They only lived up later.) 

Red out 10 hours 8 minutes in. He wins a home theater system and a year subscription of Paramount+. Bowie, Matt and Red can now head into the house.

It's down to Cory, Jag, Blue, Mecole, America and Cameron. Cory out, throwing it. He wins Have Not. Must choose two houseguests to join him, old school PB&J. 12 hours 44 minutes and Blue is out. She wins $1,000. 12 hours 50 minutes, Jag snoozed and slipped. His prize is "perfume" that smells of sewage. It wafts into the comp.

Mecole gets attacked by a fly. 13 hours30 minutes and she's out. She wins a dinner party for herself and three houseguests of her choosing. It's down to America and Cameron. Cameron is telling her she's safe. He promises Cory is safe, too. 14 hours 49 minutes, America is out. That's four minutes shy of the BB6 record.

Cameron wins HOH.

The last three come into the house. Cameron gets his key and lots of fake love. He tells us Jag and Blue are dangerous loose ends. Red noticed Izzy didn't seem happy that Cameron won. He doesn't trust her.

Cory and America talk. She tells him she made a deal to protect Cory and herself. Jared and Blue cuddle as they talk with Jag.

Cameron talks to Jag. Jag makes promises. Cameron tells us Jag is the target. He tells Jag that he's the target but it's all about the game. Then he talks to Blue, tells her that he's leveling the playing field by putting her up.

Red still has mistrust in the group as he was left out of the Hisam ouster decision. Now he is leery about Izzy due to her reaction to Cam winning HOH. Backdoor plan? Hmm.

Time for the Nominations Ceremony. Cameron first nominates Jag, then Blue. He says he loves them both and they are both tremendous multi-faceted players so they can play in the veto.

We got the typical Diary Room bits from Blue and Jag.

BB25: Live Feeds Pressure Cooker HOH Comp Updates - Aug. 24

 

The BB6 Pressure Cooker

Welcome everyone! Once the live feeds get going, I will constantly be updating this post with screen caps and commentary. Refresh the page to get the latest updates! Please join in with your own observations and be a part of the party we'll be having after hours in the comments section! Bring snacks and adult beverages, perhaps even coffee if the BB25 hamsters have any staying power.

All the times I post will be East Coast times. Any times on my screen caps are also EDT. Rules are: Finger on button, no sitting, no kneeling, can squat, no bathroom breaks, must wait for three to be eliminated to leave the enclosure, take numbered card when eliminated, last one remaining is the new HOH.

10:07PM no feeds yet.

10:19PM Feeds are on, all still in.

10:22PM - Felicia is in the house gathering snacks. It seems she is not allowed in the enclosure?

Cameron has one foot up on the bar. Hmm. 

Jared is doing the one foot up thing, too.

They are doing a whistle scat bit.

Cam looks like a clown without his hat on!

10:30PM - Looks like Felicia is preparing some sort of feast inside the kitchen. All still in.

Matt says he's in his own world.

10:35PM - Matt says he's in his own world. They can't see anything in the dark. We know he can't read lips in the dark. He can only hear if someone, especially on his left, speaks loudly.

10:39PM - All feeds go to Felicia in the kitchen for a minute. She's sorting all kinds of bags of food.

10:42PM - Cameron is NOT bald on top. They showed a close-up. It's a bandana.

10:51PM - Felicia is eating in the living room. The monitor is showing her the comp.

10:57PM - At about the one hour mark, all still in it. All bored. I'm bored. So far, nothing showering on them or anything. All just standing there holding their buttons down. No talking even for a while.

11:00PM - Into a quieter scat rhythm. Finally talking. Cirie took her hood down. They think they are at about 20 minutes. Felicia looks bored. Cory thinks Kaysar won the BB6 one. He did tell them the 14 hours right, though.

11:11PM - The a/c is on. Felicia is in the storage room. The light thing in the middle is swinging but they can't see it. Cam decides to tell a story. I will not bore people with the story.

11:15PM - They keep hearing something in the wall. They dismiss it and Cam's boring story continues. Felicia is back in the living room. I feel bad for both Matt and her in this comp. Heck, right now I feel bad for me. All feeds on Felicia now. She's talking to herself -- four more to jury.

11:18PM - Feeds go to adoptable animals. Prior to that it looked like Felicia was about to clean the shower.

11:30PM - Feeds still down. Maybe production didn't like Cam's boring story.

11:31PM - Feeds return - all four on Felicia watching the comp. Her screen is lighter than ours. Looks like all still in but hard to tell.

11:33PM - Wait. Feeds on comp now. Someone is out ... Cirie is out! Looks like Jared is out, too. It's lighter in there now. I'm also lightening the screen caps I post.

Cirie and Jared out when feeds came back on.

11:41PM - All feeds cut to Felicia. Ack, she left the living room and I can't watch on her screen!

11:42PM - Feeds blocked momentarily. Return. All still in except Jared and Cirie. We don't know which one went out first as the feeds were blocked when they were eliminated.

11:45PM - Cirie tells America not to use her shirt under her hand -- "That's what happened to me."

11:58PM - Two hours. Cirie, Jared out of the comp, all others remain. Felicia still snacking watching them on the living room monitor. She's making me feel all kinds of snacky. The lights just went out again.

12:00AM - Cold blasts of air are hitting them.

Live snakes in the middle. 

12:08AM - Izzy started making noises the scare them, then the cold air blasted a few times on them. Bowie can't stay still and is annoying me.

12:27AM - 2 1/2 hours in. No one out of the comp except Cirie and Jared -- they both seem very cold. Izzy bopping to a song in her head which is more entertaining than Bowie's continued movements. Red looks asleep while squatting. Cameron, Cory, Jag and Mecole look like rock solid. Blue looks a bit iffy at times as does America. Matt looks sleepy.

12:37AM - Lights back on.

Snakes with the lights on.

12:53AM - Cam starts another story, this one about Cory. I hope it's better than the last story. Short story, good. Now Cory is telling a story.

12:57AM - Three hour mark. Into a feeds block with the WBRB screen, not animals. All in the comp still except Cirie and Jared. None of the snakes are venomous. BB should set them loose. That would stop the boredom that Cam mentioned just before the feeds block.

1:01AM - Feeds returned. No one new out of the comp. Lights still on.

1:27AM - Three and a half hours in. No one new out of the comp. I swear Mecole hasn't moved at all except for her head. Red is standing but still looks asleep. BB needs to liven this group up!

1:37AM - In the dark again. Then into a feeds block without animals.

1:41AM - Feeds back. No changes, still in the dark. Cold air blasts a minute later. We need ACTION!

1:54AM - Feeds cut at near the four hour mark, then return almost immediately. Izzy out while bopping right before the feed cut again!

1:59AM - Four hour mark. Izzy, Cirie and Jared (the Fields family minus adopted son Matt) out. Feeds still blocked.

2:02AM - Feeds came back for about a minute. Izzy, Cirie, and Jared gone from the room. Kaysar was on a screen in the room. Then strobe lights started and odd not music noise. It's kind of like that techno club music a bit ... or an MRI with echoes.

2:06AM - The out of the comp three are in the house with Felicia.

2:11AM - Lights came back on with a spotlight on the snake enclosure. "Music" still playing. In the house Jared is telling Cirie and Izzy that Hisam told him to never trust Cirie and Felicia.

2:14AM - Music stopped and all feeds went to the house for a moment, then back to the comp.

2:24AM - Now all four feeds on the house hamsters. The are in the living room, the rest are still in the comp.

2:25AM - Feeds back to the comp, lights still on. The house discussion is largely about not trusting Bowie Jane. Cirie is ticked at Jared not sharing intel from others concerning them in a timely manner.

3:15AM - Gah. My internet went down. All still in the comp except for Cirie, Jared and Izzy.

Blogger issues! Trouble updating. Check comments if no recent updates here.

3:56AM - Six hours in. All still in the comp except for Cirie, Jared and Izzy.

More after the page break --

BB6 "Pressure cooker" endurance competition for HOH

The first and only time we saw the Pressure Cooker HOH comp was in BB6. It played out on the live feeds.

Well ... guess what?

CBS Big Brother has announced that tonight's Pressure Cooker comp will also be on the live feeds. The downside is that it is slated to start after the East Coast airing of the live eviction show -- 10PM ET/7PM PT

Not to fear! I will take an afternoon nap and I also doubt that the comp will take the 13 hours 53 minutes that the BB6 comp did. The first out, Beau, was near the seven hour mark. Will any BB25 hamsters even make it that long? I will have an HOH Pressure Cooker Comp blog post up and will constantly be updating it with screen caps and the happenings!

Here's some another bit on the Pressure Cooker ... in the video, go to the last segment --

  

Big Brother: BB24 Live Season Finale Show Blog Party

 

The Final Three bid us adieu on the live feeds.

Well, this is it. I believe we have a final three no one would have predicted -- Turner, Taylor and Monte. At least no one floated to the finish this season! All three have won at least a couple of big comps.

Tonight's taped segments should include the finish of the hot dog clutching Part One of the HOH comp, the second part of the three-part HOH comp and the Round Table. Although the winners of Part One and Part Two are known by feeds watchers, I ask people not to mention them in the comments until they air on the show.

Live on the show will be Part Three of the HOH comp which will be the winners of Part One and Part Two competing. The winner of that part then will decide the last eviction and we will be at the final two. Then there are the jury questions, and some choose me speeches. And THEN, we will have a winner of the $750,000. After the winner is crowned, we will have the Favorite Houseguest announcement.

The Esteemed Lifeguard SueGee has updated the blog pool and here are our final three:

Monte    - Sally, Willie J, Rodney
Taylor    - CherylNY, Donna in AL, Cherry Pie
Turner (Matt)- Bizaro22, Glenn Allen, Jasonuwp

Jury

Indy

Joseph

Jasmine

Kyle

Terrance

Michael

Alyssa

Brittany

I will be live-blogging, updating this post constantly as the show airs here on the East Coast. Refresh the page to get the latest news. Asa always, the real party is in the comments area -- please feel free to join in on the fun! 

Hamster watchers ready? Got your snacks and adult beverages? Let's get this finale ON!

Julie is wearing a simple red dress tonight. Previously on and on. We know this stuff. Bring on the hot dogs! Weinerpalooza!

82 days ... a rather short season, but this past week lasted at least two weeks for me!

Ah, finally Day 79 and the hot dogs! Monte's arms actually fit around his hot dog to the slot on the far side. The other two have to use the hand grips. Turner tells us he gets dizzy easy. Taylor is down at 36 minutes. Monte out at 46.04 minutes. 

TURNER wins Part One of the final HOH comp! Julie promises us Dr. Will and the Roundtable.

Part Two - Zipline Veto Stage/HOH Stage. Fill in the comps in the proper order on both billboards. Festival Line Up. They can only take two "signs" across with the zipline each time. Taylor is up first. She got the order right the first time but this is a timed event, too.

Monte's turn. He gets them right the first try, too. Who was the fastest?

Taylor - 7.04, Monte - 6.41 

MONTE wins Part Two and will go up against Turner in Part Three.

Turner thinks it's a good thing. In week two, he and Monte made a final two pact. Turner tells him he will take him if he wins. Monte thinks the decision is tough and he would have a better shot at winning against Taylor.

The Round Table -- The jury thinks the smart move would be for Monte to join them, but it is indeed Brttany as they thought it would be. They talk about Turner playing a good game. Michael thinks that Monte is the one who got him out and Turner doesn't own up to things. He is quite anti-Turner. Alyssa and Terrance speak up for him. 

Joseph thinks Taylor plays with strategy as opposed to Turner. Jasmine says Taylor's big move was making through being on the block five times. Will wants to know what she did strategically. Kyle says relationships. Michael says she got others to put up her enemies.

Monte -- only on the block once as a pawn. Michael seems quite pro-Monte. Indy says he was one of her closest friends in the house. Brittany thinks he's getting sloppy socially. Terrance thinks he never really connected with him. 

Dr. Will is looking so grey. I feel so old.

Time for Part Three of the HOH Comp! Monte and Turner have a divider between them. Jury Fest. How well do you know the jurors. Jury fest video, three statements about the juror. Which statement is false. Eight videos.

1. Indy's Psychic Booth - Both right.

2. Jasmine's Muffin Truck - Both right.

3. Joseph is a security guard - Both right

4. Kyle's Dance Party - Both right.

5. Terrance's Tattoos - Both right.

6. Michael's Carnival Games - Monte right

7. Alyssa's Info Booth - Both wrong

8. Brittany's Meditation Station - Monte right

MONTE wins the Final HOH!

To the living room --

Turner - Final two, loyalty, love you, your decision

Taylor - World and moon if you take me to final two. Easy win for you to take me.

Monte chooses to evict ... TURNER. He goes out graciously. He tells Julie he is shocked, not mad. He would have taken Monte to the final two. He is very good with Julie.

Jury question time! Turner joins them. Michael and Terrance correctly guessed it would be him. Three total questions for each finalist.

Kyle - Monte - other than using Michael veto, what was your pivotal move to final two? He says evicting Turner.

Michael - Taylor - You were big target, did you adapt your game to get this far? Being who I am and played how I wanted to.

Joseph - Monte - Biggest blunder? Didn't stay true to himself in protecting Michael and Brittany.

Jasmine - Taylor - Move you orchestrated? Alliance with Michael/Brittany, joined Leftovers, protected girls the best she could.

Brittany - Monte - Where did you take a risk in the game? Make sure Nichole and Daniel didn't use veto and risked being evicted the next week.

Indy - Taylor - On the block weak game play? Resilient, blockbuster.

Turner - Monte - Biggest move was breaking our final two. Why should you get my vote? Heard you and Kyle had a final two after Dyre Fest.

The speeches --

Monte - Beautiful members of the jury. Played a strong competitive game, lists his wins and alliances. No false promises. Only touched the block twice, only one time on eviction night. Instrumental in getting two top competitors out -- Michael and Turner.

Taylor -  Likes Monte's speech. Won three comps, two of them HOHs. Sat on the block six times on eviction night. Continued to fight as a woman does. Called names, attempted all white alliance formed. I am not a shield, I am a thorn. Resiliency! Challenging you what kind of winner you want this year!

Time to vote:

Indy - One of my favorite people

Jasmine - Voting for person carrying on what I should have

Joseph - Love you both, voting for the sword of the season

Kyle - Both deserving, voting to rep the season.

Terrance - Love you both

Michael - Strongest player

Alyssa - Take our power back

Brittany - Love you both

Turner - Just made up my mind

Time for the early non-jury evictees to show up Joseph was asked about Dyre Fest, says he did everything he could to protect Taylor and Brittany. Onto profession lies. Michael is a criminal defense attorney. Joseph admits he's the second lawyer. Ameerah talks of the Monte/Taylor showmance. Taylor says he's a close friend. Monte agrees and pleads the fifth. Alyssa and Kyle ... he hopes it will work out. Pooch - you volunteered to go home, Pooch yourself new BB lingo. 

Who ate Jasmine's muffin? Turner 'fesses up and says he ate it in the Diary Room.

Time to reveal the votes:

Turner - Monte

Brittany - Taylor

Alyssa - Taylor

Michael - Taylor

Terrance - Taylor

Kyle - Taylor ...

TAYLOR WINS bb24! 

Joseph, Jasmine and Indy all voted for Taylor.

Top Three Favorite HG - Michael, Taylor and Kyle.

TAYLOR also wins that!

Congratulations blog pool winners! CherylNY, Donna in AL, Cherry Pie!

Big Brother: BB24 HoH Comp, Nominations Show Blog Party - August 14

 

Good evening! I've been enjoying some more reasonable temperatures here in the NJ/NYC area. We could use some rain although our drought is nowhere near what it has been in some of the Western states.

Tonight's show will be the HOH and nominations. They began the Wall HH comp as the show ended on Thursday. Jasmine was down before the show signed off.  Although many of us already know the results of the veto comp, shhhh. This is a show post -- no spoilers!

I will be live-blogging, updating this entry as the show airs here on the East Coast. Refresh the page to get the latest update! As always, the real party is in the comments area. I hope to see you there!

Previously On ... and on.

Don't forget the Wall comp is Conspiracy Fest. We'll see Jasmine fall first once again. We have lots of Diary Room sessions before we get the real action. There -- Jasmine is down. A weird voice shouts out conspiracies as they get gooped on. Sigh ... back to pre-comp Alyssa/Kyle stuff due to Daniel trying to turn Alyssa against Kyle. 

Fake NEWSpapers fall on them. Brittany down. Sheesh -- another pre-comp bit about the girls trying to get Joseph in an alliance. Back at the comp, Terrance is now down. The Loch Ness monster gets them with blue goop. Monte down. Alyssa down.

Bigfoot conspiracy -- hair drops on them. Now pink goop hits them hard from "aliens." Indy down. Now all that remain are Leftovers. Taylor tells us she will not let go. Turner gives up. It's Taylor, Joseph and Kyle remaining. Joseph down -- he did not want to be in the position to have to deal with the girls who think he's in their alliance ... along with Kyle. Kyle is down.

TAYLOR is the new HOH!

Many are thrilled. Jasmine is not. Brittany and Taylor happy dance in the storage room. Michael tells Brittany that Joseph and Kyle are in another alliance and are dependent on the players from the Leftovers who do win. Taylor tells us Jasmine is not on her radar and she came into the game planning to not target another Black woman. Brittany thinks Jasmine should be the target. Monte suggests Indy.

Terrance talks to Taylor. Taylor acts like she's listening but tells us she doesn't trust him at all.

Taylor talks to Joseph. She tells us he was the first person to be kind to her. He hints showmance to us from the Diary Room. She tells us her goal is to get Terrance to the jury house this week. She is looking for a pawn. Turner is upset as he stuck his neck out for her and doesn't want to be a pawn. She's thinking Turner/Monte up, backdooring Terrance. EEK says the two guys.

A segment on Joseph and Indy. She's the crankiest roommate ever.

Taylor decides she will put Indy/Terrance on the block and tell them it's to backdoor Monte. She had told Indy she wouldn't put her up so she needs to tell her. Indy talks to her. Indy tells us she never really trusted Taylor. Indy says okay but is clearly upset.

The rest of the Leftovers would like Jasmine out.

Time for the Nominations Ceremony. Taylor nominates Indy, then Terrance. Indy most distant relationship. Terrance play the veto. There is always a larger target.

Heh. Indy thinks she's a pond.

Big Brother: BB24 HOH Endurance Comp Updates - August 11

Celebrity BB3: HOH Comp Completion, Nominations Show Blog Party - Feb. 13

 

Good evening! I'm not sure how busy this blog party will be with the show airing smack dab in the middle of the Super Bowl game! I'm kind of surprised they even scheduled a show for tonight. I don't watch football at all but I'm a rarity.

Anyway ... I'll be live blogging and regularly updating this entry with the major events as the show airs here on the East Coast. Refresh the page to get the latest news. The party, if there is one, is in the comments section. I hope to see someone, anyone there.

Previously on and on and on ... the narrator says you don't want to miss this no matter what game is on another channel. He was referring to upcoming kerfuffling!

We're back to the HOH easy wall comp. They're getting sprayed with paint and water. Whoops! There goes Lamar! Cynthia down! Todd out. Shanna down. It's down to Carson and Todrick.

Todrick proposes a deal. Carson promises not to put Todrick up or backdoor him. Todrick jumps. CARSON is the new HOH.

Todrick himself feels safe but he knows Meisha will the target. Shanna is thrilled. Carson, Cynthia and Shanna happy victory dance.

Lamar is still clueless about the game. Todd tries to explain to him that if someone wins the veto, one of them will go up.

Miesha refuses to go see Carson's HOH room.

Carson tells Todrick he will be putting Miesha and Todd on the block. He tells him that if he wins the veto he shouldn't use it. Carson actually thinks he can bring Todrick back in the fold.

Todrick goes to Miesha and tells her he wants to tell everyone that Shanna has been playing them all. He wants to throw all that shade on Shanna. Miesha and Todrick actually convince Cynthia that Shanna has been targeting Carson. Miesha suggests a backdoor Shanna plan.

Shanna tries to defend herself to Carson and Cynthia. She's being framed for Carson on the block. She tries to tell them those were lies.

Shanna, Cynthia and Carson go downstairs to confront Todrick and Miesha.

Time for the Nominations Ceremony. Carson first nominates Miesha, then Todd.

Celebrity BB3: HoH Endurance Comp Updates

 Once the live feeds return, this post will be regularly updated with screen caps and happenings from the HOH comp.

Camera 3 came back on but then went away again.

The feeds came back on with all still up. A minute later Lamar went down, then Cynthia.

Now five minutes later, they're blocked again. Now on again.

The feeds keep randomly blocking (much like they have all season).

This is the easiest wall comp I've ever seen.

This is like watching paint dry. As a matter of fact, I think the paint they are using is drying as I watch.

10:44pm ET - Todd down. 

10:49pm ET - Shanna down.

It's now just Carson and Todrick still up.

10:56pm ET - Todrick down. It looked like they made a deal, but I couldn't make it out.

CARSON IS THE NEW HOH! 

BB23: HoH Comp and Nominations Show Blog Party - Sept. 5

 

Greetings and felicitations! Tonight we get to check out the end of the HOH "endurance" comp (which lost two people before the live show was over). And, then the HOH winner will choose two hamsters for nomination. In real life the veto comp has already been played. But, since this is a show post, it's a NO SPOILERS ZONE! Please don't comment on anything before it's aired. Some folks really don't like spoilers.

I will be live-blogging, regularly updating this entry with the major events 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" as I always do ...

We pick up the action at the start of the HOH comp before Derek fell during the commercial break. He's down less than two minutes! Alyssa tells us she was getting dizzy and sick, down in six minutes. Claire drops (as she must overthrow it as secret HOH). Those three are the Have Nots for the week.

They show a segment with Derek pushing Tiffany to throw the comp to him, Kyland or Azah to take the shot against Claire this week.

Hannah is down. Xavier drops at 21 minutes. Azah actually falls at 23 minutes. It's down to Tiffany and Kyland still up. Tiffany is like a rock up there and Kyland is upset that she doesn't seem to have any intention of throwing it. Even Azah in a Diary Room segment is mad at Tiffany, as is Derek.

Kyland tries to deal to no avail. Kyland actually fell (not dropped) at 36 minutes. TIFFANY IS THE NEW HOH ... despite what the Cookout wanted. The others feel she has gone rogue on them.

Tiffany tells us she had no intention of sitting on the block this week -- which she would have been if anyone else in the Cookout won. She wants to build her wins resume and BB is an individual game. The Cookout members are crying SELFISH! I should note that I understand they have a lofty goal but I have never seen another alliance so limiting to what the members can and cannot do.

Alyssa is upset that she's on slop and feels that she and Xavier will be on the block. Xavier is mad because he will likely be on the block for the third week. Ahem ... first time was a random roulette wheel spun by Alyssa, second was his own choice of a punishment for winning a veto he didn't need to win.

Claire thinks that she is definitely safe this week. Kyland tries to talk to Tiffany and now doesn't trust that she's a team player. @@

Derek whines because he's a Have Not and fell down first. He is acting all kinds of defeated and Azah tries to pep talk him. He feels hopeless in all the comps. Hannah tells them that Tiffany didn't want Kyland to win. She tells us them all aiming at each other is good for her own game. She says, after all, BB is an individual game. Heh.

Azah, Derek and Xavier talk. Xavier says that Tiffany and Kyland are playing in their own interest, not for the vision (Black person winning the show). He claims he keeps feeling shafted by them.

Xavier talks to Tiffany. He wants her to take out Claire. She tells him while she doesn't want to put him on the block but if he wins the Power of Veto, he would take her off. He tells us, quite selfishly I might add, that he will do just that to ruin her HOH. 

Derek fusses to us that he will be faking it and cares nothing about going to see Tiffany's HOH room. He and Xavier sit together. Xavier tells us that it should have been Derek or Azah's moment. I say if Derek can't win a comp, he doesn't deserve the HOH! Tiffany, Claire and Hannah watch Kyland, Derek and Xavier being miserable in the living room.

Tiffany tells us that she is playing the game for herself more than the Cookout. She wants Claire to target the guys if she wins HOH next week. She wants the final four to be her, Claire, Hannah and Azah.

She talks to Alyssa who is pulling a real Audrey look in a hoodie, hood up and dark sunglasses. Tiffany tells her that she is considering her and Xavier to break up a pair. Alyssa, pretty wisely, points out that she is good at the end because she wouldn't have any jury votes -- her own allies went out pre-jury. She tells Tiffany that she would have targeted Kyland not her.

Time for the nominations. Tiffany first nominates Alyssa, then Xavier. She says it was a tough decision, not personal, both good game players.

BB23: Live Feeds HOH Endurance Comp Coverage - Sept. 2

 Once the live feeds come back, this post will be updated with commentary and screen caps until we have a winner! Refresh the page to get the latest news ...

Derek and Alyssa down before the show ends.

The feeds started up almost immediately at show end.

Love how Derek is giving them all advice. 

9:12PM EDT - Claire down.

9:14PM EDT - Hannah down -- was complaining about a headache before.

Hey, when did Xavier go down? He is!

9:17PM EDT - Azah down.

Kyland and Tiffany remain.

In observation, Tiffany seems more solid than Kyland. He's moving around a lot.

9:24PM EDT - Kyland asks the others to give them a minute. Apparently he wants to deal. Derek F is being miserable probably because he did so poorly. But they don't deal or talk. Tiff is a rock. Azah has been sick.

9:30PM EDT - Kyland is down. TIFFANY WINS HOH!!!

BB23: HoH Comp Finish/Nominations Show Blog Party - Aug. 8

 

Good evening! As you're all aware, much has been happening on the live feeds. But, since this is a show post and people who do not watch the feeds come here, please remember this is a NO SPOILERS ZONE. Thank you!

I'll be live-blogging, updating this post with the major happenings as the show airs here on the East Coast. Refresh the page for the latest news! As always, the real party is in the comments area -- please feel free to join in on the fun!

Previously on brings up the Cookout and Tiffany's strategy for their success. We pick up the action at the HOH comp ... Derek falls off the wall first -- shocking everybody, of course! It's been raining on them and the "passengers" above them are ill with green slime vomit. Claire gives up since she has safety anyway.

One by one they keep falling -- SarahBeth and Hannah simultaneously, Kyland, Britini ...

Tiffany doesn't really care about winning the HOH. She just doesn't want Alyssa to win it and feels she needs to outlast her.

A shivering Azag goes down. Derek X looks one with the wall, barely moving and lined up right against the wall. Tiffany slips and falls and Alyssa remains up. Xavier and Alyssa deal with Derek X for safety and then Alyssa goes down followed by Xavier.

DEREK X is the new HOH. One hour 23 minutes was the length of the comp.

Alyssa is all whiny and feeling sorry for herself saying how she sucks at comps. Hannah and Derek X jump around in the storage room. She tells us she wants his HOH to be her HOH. She has targets in mind for her own game's good.

Christian doesn't have safety like others on his team but thinks he can't go up -- he could only be a backdoor. SarahBeth and Hannah (who they have started to call Chaddha - sp?) try to mend fences. Well, SarahBeth does, anyway.

Derek X talks with Claire and Tiffany. He tells them that he gave safety to Alyssa and Xavier but Xavier wants him to guarantee all Kings safe. That's not the deal. 

In front of Hannah Tiffany slips and mentions the Royal Flush when Derek X talked about backdooring Christian. Derek does not want to nominate Christian right off. After Tiffany leaves them, Hannah questions him about the Royal Flush. He tries to convince her it's a one week thing.

Hannah talks to Tiffany about it, too. Tiffany is aghast that she herself let it slip. She too downplays it. But Hannah is keeping it in mind just in case she needs that information in the future.

Derek F and Azah talk. She tells us her face gives away her emotions. Derek tells us that you have to fake it until you make it in the house. He tries giving Azah lessons.

Xavier once again tries to get safety for the Kings. Derek X says no. Xavier points out to us that the Kings are all a part of the Royal Flush. Is Derek going against the Royal Flush?

Derek talks to SarahBeth who also says she would like the Royal Flush to be safe. What can she offer him? Would she be willing to be a pawn?

Segment on Derek F's sleeping habits.

Derek X continues his HOH questioning. No one wants to say they would go up as a pawn. Britini seems the closest to saying okay. He decides to talk to Hannah. She advises going after Christian and tells him that Britini would likely target him before SarahBeth would.

Time for the nominations ceremony! Derek nominates SarahBeth, then Britini. He tells them trust is an issue and they were nominated to keep his trust in the game. Say what?

Derek tells us that he wants to backdoor Christian but will take out SarahBeth if it comes down to that.
