BB23: Live Eviction and HOH Comp Show Blog Party - Aug. 26

 

Good evening! Tonight the second jury member will be sent packing and the Cookout will continue to be full strength. I suppose, if I were in the house, I would feel the need to get Derek X out while I had a chance. Think about it. Who would you rather be with in the final two? Claire or Derek X? Which one would you have a better chance to win against? You know the answer and I fear that is what we will see tonight. 

But first -- Lifeguard SueGee has updated the blog pool (she rocks like that, y'know). Here's where we stand going into the show tonight:

Azah Awasum - Dr Celine, Krysta Gibson, Nickelpeed, Rbennie

Derek Frazier - Glenn Allen, Jean from Tampa, Luckysmom, MikesGirl

Derek Xiao - Auntie Leigh, Kelsey NY, PDX Granny, SueGee,T town Chic

Hannah Chaddha - BB-Boy, Fred aka TwoBlackAces, Helenann2K, JoC

Alyssa Lopez - CherylNY, JessicaUnderwoodJames, Skyriverblue, Terry is a Texan

Xavier Prather - Aya Marie, Donna NY, Ed in Ohio, Petals

Sarah Beth Steagall - Andi, Brenda, Tilde, TS14Fan

Claire Rehfuss - KarlaV, Laura, Marthalight, Monty924

Kyland Young - chrob61, JonMD1267, Laura in GA, QuixoticElf, Tammy

Tiffany Mitchell - April, Indiana Jane, MrsKB2, tbc

Jury: Britini D'Angelo

***************************************************

Julie is wearing black slacks and an off the shoulders matching black top tonight. And, we're sitting out the Previously On segment as I type this.

Day 51 and history stands poised to repeat itself as a person is in danger for not taking a chance -- paraphrasing Julie. "Who's running the Cookout?" Xavier thinks Derek X has been the biggest threat all along. Claire thinks so, too. SarahBeth is pleased that he should go. Tiffany thinks keeping him would be best.

Claire and Derek X are sad that they're together on the block. Tiffany, Azan and Alyssa talk ... should they keep Derek? Hannah listens to Xavier as he tries to convince everyone that Derek X must go. He thinks he has Azah back on track with his reasoning. He tries for Tiffany. Kyland tells Tiffany that Derek X must go. She thinks he's angry because he knows she and Derek X have thought of SarahBeth as a target.

Tiffany tells Xavier she understands but whatever they want to do. He feels reassured with that. She tells us that she is only telling Kyland and Xavier what they want to hear and she wants to flip the vote. She goes to Hannah talking about how the Cookout considered Kyland needs to go first and how the guys think they are carrying the women. That is her reasoning why they need to keep Derek X.

Everyone is called to gather in the living room. Xavier's Strategy Shutdown starts. He won't be released until freed to vote by Julie. While he checks out his new digs, Tiffany is trying to get a fire under Derek's butt to gather votes. He thinks he has Tiffany, Hannah and Kyland. Um. Kyland has been working with SarahBeth to get him on the block! She thinks he can get Azah. He needs four votes. 

His pitch to Azah is decent, leveling the playing field for her, Tiffany and Hannah. He cries. She consoles. She seems to be considering keeping him. 

Of course, this could all be editing to make it sound like he actually has a chance to stay.

To the living room for the vote, all hamsters are dressed up:

Claire - Shout outs, love all, HG such a pleasure so far, individual game if I am an asset keep me. Love to stay.

Derek X - Shout outs, HG in BB deflection points within the game. Another deflection point, will take biggest threat "her" out and be a shield.

The votes to evict:

Alyssa - Derek X

Hannah - Claire

To commercial ...

Kyland - Claire

Derek F - evotes Derek X

Tiffany - Derek X!!!

Azah - Derek X

Xavier - Derek X

With the exception of Tiffany's and Kyland's vote swaps, no surprises. Derek X is going to jury. He gives Tiffany a ring. The interview is skimped on, goodbye messages will be on the extended interview online tomorrow. Another American Red Cross charity donation promotion.

Julie tells us the HG had a short time to study videos on the Memory Wall in prep for the comp.

To the HOH comp in the backyard. They are in booths. Comp is called BB NFTs. Seven questions, wrong answers eliminated. Can win extra BB Bucks, after eliminated get envelopes containing up to 100 to be opened in High Rollers room.

1. Xavier, Azah and Claire out

2. Derek F and Kyland out

3. All right

4. TIFFANY IS THE NEW HOH!!!

BB23: Live Eviction and HOH Show Blog Party - Aug. 19

 

Good evening! We last left the show with a cliffhanger. So, we should, after the inevitable "previously on" segment, find out whether either or both vetoes were used and if the nominations changed from Claire and Derek F or not. Shh ... no spoilers here. Yes, many of us know what happened but ...!

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. Please feel free to join in on the fun!

But first ... Lifeguard SueGee has kindly updated the blog pool. Is your hamster still running in the wheel?

Azah Awasum - Dr Celine, Krysta Gibson, Nickelpeed, Rbennie

Britini D'Angelo - CherryPie, Donna in Alabama, Jlaf, Sharon C

Derek Frazier - Glenn Allen, Jean from Tampa, Luckysmom, MikesGirl

Derek Xiao - Auntie Leigh, Kelsey NY, PDX Granny, SueGee,T town Chic

Hannah Chaddha - BB-Boy, Fred aka TwoBlackAces, Helenann2K, JoC

Alyssa Lopez - CherylNY, JessicaUnderwoodJames, Skyriverblue, Terry is a Texan

Xavier Prather - Aya Marie, Donna NY, Ed in Ohio, Petals

Sarah Beth Steagall - Andi, Brenda, Tilde, TS14Fan

Claire Rehfuss - KarlaV, Laura, Marthalight, Monty924

Kyland Young - chrob61, JonMD1267, Laura in GA, QuixoticElf, Tammy

Tiffany Mitchell - April, Indiana Jane, MrsKB2, tbc

****************************

On with the show! Yikes! Julie is wearing an absolutely boxy black dress. It has no shape! We'll sit through the Previously On.

Julie tells us chaos erupted just before the veto meeting. Will Britini's plea change Kyland's mind. The veto meeting. Kyland saves Claire. He puts Britini up as the renom. Alyssa does not use her Power of Veto.

Derek F is upset that he's on the block with Britini. He tells us he cannot campaign against her. Kyland thinks the Cookout will have enough votes to save Derek F and send Britini packing. Not unexpectedly, Britini is acting out -- crying, angry. She's crying in front of Derek F and she doesn't know that he knows he's just a pawn. Azah says it breaks her heart.

Tiffany and Claire talk about how Derek F is just going to skate by until the end. Ah, they are thinking about flipping the vote? Tiffany tells us it just can't happen because he is part of the Cookout. Meanwhile, Derek X is telling Hannah they should flip and get Derek F out. Of course, Hannah is part of the Cookout and, even though she likes the idea, knows it just can't happen. Claire and Derek X go to Tiffany. Now she's thinking that if they keep it up they themselves might have to go sooner rather than later.

Julie tells us that the Cookout knows they must win HOH or risk being exposed. Well, duh. Tiffany tells Xavier about Claire and Derek X. Sigh. Xavier says he will need to gun hard for the HOH. Xavier and Kyland talk about getting Derek X to feel he's safe and winning HOH this week might not be in his best interest. Xavier tries to talk Derek X into throwing the comp. Claire tells Derek X that it probably means he will be backdoored.

To the living room --

Britini -- Another rap. Into a real speech, individual game, love Julie Chen

Derek -- A gazillion shout-outs. Stresses his cooking and cleaning.

The votes to evict:

Xavier - Britini

Hannah - Britini

Claire - Britini

Derek X - Britini

Azah - Big D (Derek)

Tiffany - Britini

SarahBeth - Britini

Alyssa - Britini

Yet another house vote. I HATE THAT. Byebye Brit. First to jury. She hugs and loves them all. In the house scenes right after she leaves, Azah is in tears with Derek X consoling her and Derek F gets a big kiss on the mouth from Kyland. Britini handles the interview well. She believes it when several had told her they couldn't win next to her in a final two. She will eventually find out it's all lies.

HOH time. Dash to Dinner. Balance beam court, some wider than others, on the clock, 45 seconds to get to restaurant. Fastest time wins, over 45 seconds, out.

Claire first. 34.97

Alyssa 27.06 but eliminated because she fell and hit the ground

Derek F 34.6, but eliminated same as above

SarahBeth 21.03, Claire out

Azah over 21.03, stopped

Hannah same as Azah

Tiffany eliminated

Derek X Almost, but out

Xavier eliminated

SARAHBETH IS THE NEW HOH!

BB23: Live Eviction and HoH Comp Show Blog Party - Aug. 12

 

Good evening! Is it hot enough for you? Heh. Well, stay inside and watch some Big Brother! Last night's show left us off with a cliffhanger, a first if I'm not mistaken. So, the show should start out with the Veto Meeting. Oh, the suspense of it all!

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 there!

But first ... Lifeguard SueGee has kindly updated the blog pool. Is your hamster still running in the wheel?

Azah Awasum - Dr Celine, Krysta Gibson, Nickelpeed, Rbennie
Britini D'Angelo - CherryPie, Donna in Alabama, Jlaf, Sharon C
Derek Frazier - Glenn Allen, Jean from Tampa, Luckysmom, MikesGirl
Derek Xiao - Auntie Leigh, Kelsey NY, PDX Granny, SueGee,T town Chic
Hannah Chaddha - BB-Boy, Fred aka TwoBlackAces, Helenann2K, JoC

*****************************

Julie is dressed in tan and looking summery. Let's take the "previously on" segment time to gather our snacks!

We get the completion of the veto meeting and ... drumroll, please ... but first we're told it's the last eviction before jury and a huge twist in which we have a part is coming. Ohh ... while Julie talks they're doing the Big Blue Couch dance in their seats.

Oh, Britini saved herself and Derek put Christian on the block. Christian thinks Derek X is a coward and he will have the votes to stay. Derek F tells him he has him. He tells us he needs to check in with the Jokers and the Cookout to see where everyone is before he makes the decision.

Christian blames his nomination on SarahBeth. He thinks she lied about him to Derel. He's angry and snaps at Derek.

Claire gets her costume -- she's dressed as a playing card. Anytime BB tells her to she needs to throw the deck of cards in the air, then play 52 Pick Up by herself. Kyland gets his Jackass of Clubs donkey costume and must make club sandwiches on demand from the BB King.

Tiffany is talking to Christian. He tells her that her hug felt like a goodbye hug. She tells him that she feels she has to vote with the house. He replies that she and Claire would be the majority. She tells us he needs three more votes, not just her one, to stay. She talks to Britini and Azah about him pressuring her. She says that she will tell him that Britini is the swing vote. Britini tells us that she just doesn't know.

Derek F has a bug in his bonnet about Tiffany bossing people around. He threatens to drop out of the Cookout. She's not the boss of him! Whoa, he's getting way nasty about her.

Julie gives us a tease about an eleven hour flip. Tiffany tells Christian that, unlike what the others are telling him, he doesn't have the votes. She tells him others are lying and that Britini and Derek F are flipfloppers. She tells us that keeping him is better for her own game than is keeping SarahBeth. She talks to Xavier who tells her he feels the same way. She tells us that with her, Xavier and Alyssa on board, she would only need two more votes to keep him.

Claire is not so keen on the idea. She talks about not trusting the people they've worked with. Uh-oh, Claire seems to be onboard now. Christian tells Britini that Tiffany wants to talk to her. Derek F and Azah insist on coming along. Now Tiffany is mad. The Cookout has cracks growing.

To the living room --

Christian - Thanks friends/family, still here because he was loyal, knows it's a game, friends with all 

SarahBeth - Shoutouts, talks kindly of Christian, last week before jury, if on jury would be objective, love and respect all.

Julie asks how they know she doesn't have a twist up her sleeve about jury.

The votes to evict:

Hannah - Christian

Kyland - Christian

Xavier - SarahBeth

Alyssa - SarahBeth

Into commercial ...

Britini - Christian

Derek F - He sadly to evote Christian

Tiffany - Christian

Claire - Christian

Azah - Christian - Can her outfit get any more lowcut?

Christian is evicted and is mature about it but for his huge kiss for Alyssa. Julie cuts it short, doesn't show the goodbye messages as they are short on time. Once it goes online, I'll post the extended interview on here if I can.

The new twist is -- Julie tells the HG that they all made jury. High risk/high reward. New room at BB Beach Club -- the high rollers room, inside three unique BB Casino games and three powers. Skill, luck, BB Bucks -- a special currency given each week with the ones voted by America getting the most. Bigger powers cost more.

We get a good night without an HOH Comp.

You can go to www.cbs.com/bbvote for information, text 97979 with the HG name you want to win the most. Top Three get $100, next three get $75, others all get $50. It looks like all they are doing is the text vote this season.

BB23: Live Eviction and HOH Comp Start Show Blog Party - Aug. 5

EVICTED

********************************

Julie is wearing an orange flowy kind of dress that is really not slimming. She hints to us that the teams will be ending. Then we're into "previously on." Yep, the narrator confirms the teams are ending. Good.

Julie tells us the Kings are the only complete team left. She will tell them later tonight that the teams are history.

Christian is hoping for a unanimous vote to oust Whitney. Hannah is thinking that people might be noticing how analytical she is and think of her as a threat. So far it seems to be only SarahBeth and Whitney noticing it.

Tiffany tells us that she feels closest to Hannah, they think alike and even now have a final two deal. The Cookout is supporting Hannah but Tiffany points out that SarahBeth is coming after Hannah ... and thus needs to be targeted.

Meanwhile, SarahBeth is trying to convince Kyland that Hannah is dangerous in the game. He's the only person in the game she trusts. It's a friendship, not a showmance! Kyland thinks very highly of her but tells us he would have to choose the Cookout over her.

Tiffany works to get the Cookout members to partner a non-Cookout member to act as a bit of a shield to make it further in the game. Tiffany is a bit worried about SarahBeth, but goes ahead and includes her in the plan.

Now we get Whitney looking for votes. Christian is trying to walk like Derek F but doesn't have they rhythm. Tiffany seems to have a bug in her bonnet because no one answered her good morning greeting. It was Kyland, Xavier and SarahBeth. Now Tiffany is worried about Kyland and SarahBeth's relationship.

Azah goes to Tiffany saying that a King must go home. Azah doesn't trust Hannah and realizes that she cannot talk to Tiffany about it. Oh geez ... Whitney goes into her one on one meetings, starting with Alyssa. She tells Alyssa that Hannah has been moving in on Christian and can manipulate him and that she would likely target her (Alyssa). Alyssa buys what she's selling, it seems. She runs to Christian with the intel. Christian, not knowing about the Cookout votes, thinks he can persuade them to target Hannah if he wants. Or, so the show edit tells us!

To the living room ...

Hannah is wearing athletic gear, Whitney a dress.

Hannah - Shout outs but don't want to see soon, then briefly addresses hamsters.

Whitney - Shout outs, make up sessions, weird but love you to death. She tells them to vote for her. Mind you, the votes for her would be for eviction.

The votes to evict:

Derek F - Whitney

Britini - Whitney

Azah - Whitney

Kyland - Whitney

Alyssa - Whitney

SarahBeth - Whitney

Claire - Whitney

Derek X - Whitney

Tiffany - Whitney

Xavier - Whitney

It's unanimous, Whitney is gone. Hopefully the last house vote? Please? We hate that stuff! 

Whitney tells Julie that she is out because she was an advocate for women empowerment and making big moves. The men are scared of her. Yeah, sure. That's why. Julie tells her about the Royal Flush. All the goodbye messages shown are nice ones. To be honest, she really didn't raise much animosity in the house. Azah was the one with the most against her due to jealousy over Xavier, but she even said that and was nice.

Julie tells them that the teams are being eliminated. They are happy. I notice that the Kings are rather subdued. The Wild Card comp is also gonzo.

They head to the backyard and we head into a commercial.

The comp will barely start ... make sure you go to the next post for coverage after the show ends!

It's a wall comp. Whale of a Time. The wall is a huge whale watching ship. It's raining on them and tilting.

BB23: Live Eviction and HOH Show Blog Party - July 29

 

Y'all ready for a third hamster down? I am! While it seems to be longer, this is just the third week. Oy! I found it much easier to get the names down with this more diverse cast. Alas, although it's more diverse and split into teams, they're still leaning towards house votes. I hate that. Hopefully it will change after tonight.

********************************

On with the show! Just a note -- I'm under a severe thunderstorm watch as well as a tornado watch here. If I vanish, it's most likely a power outage.

Oh my. Julie is sporting a tight-legged with off one shoulder grey outfit. Hmm. Let's commence thumb-twiddling until the end of the "previously on" segment.

We pick up the action with Julie telling us that all week the hamsters have been fooling Brent that he's safe. She tells us that pulling off a blindside isn't easy. Brent tells us he should stay 6 to 5.

He really thinks they're all on his side. Others are agreeing with Brent's ideas just in case. Brent is sure that Xavier will not see it coming! Brent tells Dere X and Kyland that next week it will be Xavier and Christian on the block. Of course, he also mentioned that Britini would be going home.

Brent almost catches Hannah discussing his demise with Derek X. Ohh , Derek F thinks that Xavier, who is a lawyer but lied and said he's a bartender, is a lawyer. Heh. He's right.

There is a bunch of hamsters hiding from Brent in the HOH room. Meanwhile, Brent corners Alyssa about staying. Whitney tells us that deep down she thinks Brent is a good guy and tries to give him some life/game advice. 

Claire tells us she feels sorry for him but no way can they tell him about the blindside.

Julie tells us that with Brent going the focus turns to the strongest team in the house. They discuss a Kings team member going. Derek X doesn't want to take the shot (HOH) because he's in the Royal Flush alliance with them. Alyssa wants to target Whitney. Derek X is in a quandary. Tiffany thinks a duo from the Kings side needs to go, at least one of them. Derek X advises Claire and Tiffany that Whitney would take a shot.

Meanwhile the Kings know that one of them would most likely be the target. Hannah's name is brought up as well as Whitney's for nominations if they win HOH.

Julie is questioning whether the blindside is still in place or not. Hmm. That's definitely a hint.

To the living room--

Britini - Another rap starts but then she gets normal. She will be their sunshine on their darkest days, etc.

Brent - Shout-outs. Actions speak louder than words. My actions! We had fun.

The votes to evict:

Christian - Brent

Azah - Brent

Derek X - Brent

Kyland - Brent

Claire - Brent

Hannah - Brent

SarahBeth - Brent

Alyssa - Brent

Derek F - Brent

Whitney - Brent

Tiffany - Brent

It's unanimous. You can tell by his reaction that he knew it. Someone told him. He does leave the house with grace.

He tells Julie he isn't surprised because he's had a huge target on his back from the beginning and it's a game of betrayal. He's a strong personality and a physical threat. She mentions his own teammates turned on him. He says he's not shocked and Hannah must have just gone along with the herd.

INTERRUPTION ARGH STORM WATCH TORNADO AND FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS!

Due to the storm interruption, I missed the whole start of the comp. It's a puzzle. Each team is playing one at a time timed.

CHRISTIAN IS THE NEW HOH! He, Allysa and SarahBeth are safe.

Final Wild Card tomorrow. Next week is the first endurance comp of the season for HOH.

BB23: Live Eviction and HOH Show Blog Party - July 22

 

Are you ready hamster watchers? I think we might be able to expect a house-ish type vote tonight due to all the broken promises and random bizarre behavior of last week's HOH. But it's not done until it's done.

I'll be live-blogging, updating this blog 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. I hope to see you there! Oh ... and it's BYOB, please.

Sitting through "Previously on ..."

Julie is adorned with a string of pearls and a fairly simple black dress. But first ... she says Frenchie has zeroed in on a strategy to keep his game alive. Let's hope not.

Frenchie tells us no one would vote to get Britini out. Well, um. She tells us she will remain quiet. Frenchie tells his team he won't campaign against Britini. He comes up with the idea he can propose to be a shield, a protector and help their games.

Britini and Whitney work out as Britini makes up rap songs. She tells us that she's hiding her karate skills but willing to drop bars. Meanwhile Frenchie is going around using his protector strategy with Xavier, Brent, Azah, Claire, SarahBeth. etc. The only one who said they wanted him to stay was his teammate Azah. But how will she vote?

Julie promises us once the hour is up a BB celebrity will crown a new HOH. I wonder who that could be? Will it be from the yard balcony so they don't mingle? 

SarahBeth has a moment with Kyland as it was the anniversary of her father's death last year from Covid. He is great with her. She picked the right person in which to confide.

Kyland talks to the other teams to see where they stand and try to get some kind of confirmation they won't target him. Derek X asks to talk privately with him after mentioning he hoped his actions (saving him with the veto, abiding by his wishes for this past veto) spoke for themselves. Brent and Whitney did not promise safety. So, Aces is only half a team who will work with him.

It's decided the Queens and Kings will work together and Brent/Whitney are in their sights. Derek X is their ace up the sleeve according to Kyland.

Heh. Brent tries to get in with the girls but then says two girls must go home the next two evictions. Not a smart move. He's really painting that target on his back in vibrant neon colors!

Heading to the living room --

Britini - Thanks CBS, does it all in a wrap, (gotta love the effort), really nice.

Frenchie - Crazy experiences, build friendships with all, would love to stay, always be friends. 

The votes to evict:

Claire - Frenchie

SarahBeth - Frenchie

Xavier - Frenchie 

Derek F - Britini (as expected)

Christian - Frenchie

Whitney - Frenchie

Azah - Frenchie

Derek X - Frenchie

Tiffany - Frenchie

Brent - Frenchie

Hannah - Frenchie

Alyssa - Frenchie

To commercial but Frenchie is gone. The Celebrity BB alum is actually from Celebrity BB -- Tom Green.

Frenchie takes it well when Julie tells them it's a vote of 11 to 1 for him to go. I thought he would. Too bad he saved the class act for his exit and didn't use it during his HOH. He doesn't regret giving up the chance for two weeks of safety.

Head of Household comp time. They're in booths. "Tom talks BB" -- Tom Green, two videos, traveled around talking BB. Seven questions with a tiebreaker if needed. He's in Ottawa.

1. Derek F, Tiffany, Brent, Britini and Christian out

2. Azah out

3. All right

4. Whitney and Claire out.

5. Xavier only one right!

XAVIER IS THE NEW HOH!

I notice Drift to the Power Brent is the first to hug him.

I'll be updating this post 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 my. Julie is casually dressed in dark slacks and flowy striped top. Let's sit through the recap twiddling our thumbs for a bit.

Heh. Julie talks of Frenchie's dizzying strategy and how he promised just about the whole house safety. She got that right.

Derek thinks he's regained favor with Frenchie by saving Kyland with the veto. Alyssa is feeling better sitting next to Travis on the block. Frenchie refers to Travis as "stud bull." Oh, I think "meathead" also suited him.

Christian and Xavier tell Alyssa they have her back. Heehee ... Tiffany, Alyssa and a couple more of the women are substituting Frenchie for a vulgarity beginning with an F.

Frenchie forms an alliance -- the Slaughterhouse. Whitney and Xavier are his first recruits. Then he gathers Kyland, Derek F, Christian and Brent and thinks they'll keep him safe. Now he adds Alyssa. He mentions to us that he has Final Two deals with Derek F and Brent. Xavier is a bit skeptical. 

Oh, geez ... now he wants to aim for the entire house? He goes to Hannah, Azah and Tiffany and proposes an all girls alliance. They're laughing. After all, he is not a girl. They're going along with it but not really.

It's Kyland's 30th birthday and they want to celebrate. Travis decides to go along with the lap dance idea put forth by the women.

Ohh ... Tiffany wants one of her team to stay ... Travis! She wants safety. She and a few others give Travis advice to use while talking to Frenchie. He first tells him loyalty, then the fact that he's a bigger target for next week instead of Frenchie and then last .. what can Alyssa do for your? Of course, henchman Brent sat in on the talk.

To the living room and Julie does her on the screen talk with the nominees.

Alyssa -- Shout outs geez, thanks houseguests, would love to stay and play, birthday on Saturday

Travis -- Takes off his shirt, shout outs, fell in love with the 15 all at the same time. Got pranked with shaving cream in bed.

Live votes to evict:

SarahBeth - Travis

Xavier - Travis

Whitney - Travis

Christian - Travis

Azah - Travis

Derek F - Alyssa

To commercial ...

Kyland - Travis

Tiffany - Alyssa

Derek X - Travis

Claire - Travis

Hannah - Travis

Britini - Travis

Brent - Travis

By a vote of 11 to 2, Travis is evicted. He handles it well. Julie and Travis air hug but no masks. Julie points out that live before the show he tried to blow up Frenchie's game. He's wearing a silly tight short short sleeve shirt muscles guys wear. Huh. I'm sorry, but that puts me off right there. In the goodbye messages, Brent refers to "me and Frenchie." I guess they're a couple, eh?

To the backyard for the HOH comp. POOL SHARK. Have to hit their ball with a croquet type mallet into a giant shark mouth. 30 is the hardest spot to stand. Pre-shots they have to decide what number they will stand on. The one on the hardest number sinking their shot wins. Two cannot use the same number. Uh-oh ... technical difficulties. Good, it gave me time to type this paragraph!

Alyssa - 15, easy shot, got it

Brent, 16, gets it, takes over Allysa spot

Hannah - missed

Azah - missed

Xavier, 19 misses

Christian, 20, misses

Tiffany, 21, misses

Whitney 22, misses

Claire, 23, misses

Kyland 24 GETS IT, displaces Brent

Britini 25, misses

Derek F misses

SarahBeth, 27, misses

Derek X -misses

KYLAND IS HOH!

BB22: Season Finale Blog Party - Oct. 28

 

Yes! I know it's only been 85 days but this season really dragged on! I haven't even updated the live feeds the past few days because the three remaining hamsters have been so boring!

Oh, as a reminder -- SueGee has updated the blog pool and these people are the only ones remaining: 

Nicole Franzel -- Micaela, Sally, Defnotadoge, Deirdre 

Enzo Palumbo -- dia, Glenn Allen, Rbennie, Dolores 

Cody Calafiore -- Shannon, Chacha, Jackie <--- YES! I'm still in it!

Tonight we will see the taped Part Two of the three-part HOH final comp. It will be Enzo against Cody. The winner of the second part goes up against the winner of the first part (Nicole) in the live Part Three on the show. The winner of the third part chooses who will go to the final two with him or her. 

I don't know how they're going to work the jury questioning. I'm assuming that it might be video. The Final Three have already gotten the word that, due to the pandemic, their families will not be in attendance. It's all gonna be very weird.

I will update 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!

Previously on ... yawnsers. 

The jury is seated spaced apart however they've all been together in the jury house!

Ohh ... Julie is showing off her shoulders tonight! 

Part Two of the HoH comp is starting. All previous hamsters, balance beam. Vacation, set up cardboard cutouts, take a photo of evicted HG matching with correct clue, camera hogs while on balance beam cannot be in photo. It's called Camera Hogs. Enzo went up first, made some errors. Cody seems to have a decent plan.

The times ... Enzo 37.38. Cody 4.49 --- CODY REALLY WINS THE SECOND PART OF THE HOH! Enzo is not taking it well. He feels he let himself down as well as anyone supporting him. He says he's ready to go, take his third place and head home.

Julie points out that the final three have made many promises. Enzo is sure the game will go to Cody and he will take Nicole. He's having a bit of a hissy fit. It's not aimed at Cody, more at himself. Nicole questions Cody to see if he will take her if he wins.

Now we're into Enzo trying to make Nicole think it's a better idea to take him to the final two over Cody.

They have family videos cheering on the hamsters.

The jury discusses the final three. Christmas arrives at the jury house. Da'Vonne thinks jury management is a big thing. Perhaps bigger than comp wins. Da'Vonne is taking Nicole's actions seriously. Dani speaks up for Nicole. The consensus is that they think Enzo and Cody don't think a previous winner can win. They have a lot of good things to say about Enzo. Memphis and Kevin talk about Cody's bad jury management.

Time for the third part of the HoH comp -- Nicole versus Cody. Vinyl Exam, watch a video, three statements. Eight questions. True or false on three statements. Asked which one is false.

1. Cody gets a point

2. Both score

3. Both score

4. Both score

5. Both score

6. Both score

7. Both score

8. Both score

CODY WINS PART THREE AND IS THE FINAL HOH!

He has to choose between his final two deals. 

Nicole - Ride or die since the start, would not cut you

Enzo - From day one, bro. Everything I did was for you.

Cody evicts NICOLE!!!!

She's crying to Julie. She was sure Cody would take her and didn't see it coming at all. She seems in shock. 

So, the Final Two are the Jersey Boys -- one is my blog pool pick and the other lives not really far away from me.

Jury questioning from the backyard --

Nicole joins them. Julie tells them that Cody won the final HoH.

Tyler - Cody, well-rounded game and how? Comps and social game and alliances, multiple final deals to play differently. Not saying anything bad about Enzo.

Ian - Enzo, same question. Used Cody as a weapon. I didn't have to win anything. Played awesome. Never on the block. Social game. Some comps.

Kevin - Cody, benefited from alliances, three things you can take ownership of that we don't know. Ian going home. Having Tyler target Dani, then target Tyler right after.

Da'Vonne - Enzo, outside of social game and winning comps. Strategy? Make everyone love me and not target me. Never!

Christmas - Cody, all star did your game evolve from the first time? Yes, had the social aspect and no strategy the first time. Actually planned strategically this time.

Memphis - Enzo, same question. Won only one comp last time. Won three comps early in the first 23 days this time. Mixed with social game.

Dani - Cody, outside of HoH weeks, how did you influence what happened in the house? Advised Tyler, shifted focus to Da'Vonne over Kevin. 

David - Enzo, goodbye messages told us you wanted us to stay. Why didn't you own it? Whoever stayed, I was in an alliance with or had an agreement with. 

Nicole - Cody, why? Contemplated taking you, both were crucial to my game. Went back and forth. You won before. Not an easy decision. 

The speeches ...

Enzo - I finally made final two. Indebted to Cody. I used him to get there. I was not a target. Proud. Kids are proud. Did it for Pop Dukes. Means a lot to me.

Cody - Enzo did sit on the block in the final two. I did not. Had to change my game completely. Strategy, relationships, allies. Three of my final twos in the final five. Played well-rounded. More deserving than the first time I played.

Time to vote:

Ian, Da'Vonne, Kevin, David, Dani, Tyler, Memphis, Christmas, Nicole..

The pre-jurors join them next.

Julie asks questions.

Kaysar - Committee members why couldn't you get those not in that alliance to band together? Wanted to get people to shake things up. Went after Cody because Cody opened up the game.

Tyler - Slick Six was it real? Or done to keep numbers away from Janelle and Kaysar? It worked for as long as it could.

Bayleigh - Slick Six? Should never existed. She didn't trust it.

Kevin - Biggest regret? Not winning stuff and not working with Janelle and Kaysar.

Janelle - Who were the ones you knew you had to target? Enzo and Cody. Wrote it down even.

Ian - Biggest shock? Dani nominated me.

Memphis - Same question? The triple.

Dani - Shocked at triple? Blindsided more that she left than the triple itself. Good move that Cody took out Nicole.

Keesha - What surprised you the most? Cody does not know my name! He says it was a joke.

The votes to win:

Ian - Cody

Da'Vonne - Cody

Kevin - Cody

David - Cody

Dani - Cody 

CODY WINS BB22!

They are greeted by the jurors when they walk out. All were in the "BB Bubble."

Julie tells us the vote was unanimous, the second time only (Dan).

AFP - Top two are Tyler and Da'Vonne. Da'Vonne gets it!
