Big Brother: BB24 Live Feeds Monday, PoV Meeting - July 25

 

I had wanted to like her ...

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Turning Tides:

• Not a lot has gone down since I last reported.
• The Leftovers (see previous post) have only been meeting up in small groups of a couple, no more.
• The more smug bunch of Daniel, Ameerah and Nicole are still very sure their plan to backdoor Taylor will go down.
• Nicole seriously thinks the remaining non-evicted Bestie gets some sort of prize and she wants it.
• Ameerah is still trash-talking Joseph and Taylor.
• Terrance is eating fruit.
• The feeds finally went down (although the hamsters weren't up too long) for the veto meeting.
• It's expected that Michael/Brittany will take themselves off the block.
• Then The Leftovers step in ... Turner should be nominating Ameerah/Terrance.
• They want to act like Terrance is the target.
• But, he's not.
• I just hope Turner comes through with it.
• I will update and post this once the feeds return.
• I expect at least a kerfuffle!
• Finally ... Turner went through with it.
• Ameerah and Terrance are on the block.
• Nicole is steaming and is sure Daniel knew Turner was going to do that.
• Jasmine is sure none of the guys knew because they all seem distraught.
• Terrance is ready to pack his bags -- he's sure he's going home.
• He's not.
• Ameerah apparently thinks no way could she be in danger of getting evicted.
• Oh noes! Now Terrance and Ameerah are both in tears!
• Heh.
• I love it.

I didn't want to like him.
For the most part, I don't.

What limited sleep does to you

I'm glad things have improved for her

Whozzat? Oh. Kyle.

Big Brother: BB24 Not Live Eviction, HoH, Nominations Show Blog Party - July 24

 Good evening! I hope everyone is holding up okay with this ridiculous heat across the country. Now, in real life the Power of Veto comp is done and over with. However, due to the schedule change, we will see the taped live eviction, the HOH comp, the Besties twist and the nominations all in a two-hour show.

Please don't post any spoilers in the comments area before they air on the show. I hate to remove comments. It's bad enough that Blogger keeps sending some comments to its spam folder and I have to retrieve them during commercials!

I will be live-blogging the major events 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! Bring icy cold beer, please!

Previously On ... and all that. Will Pooch face his demise in the game tonight?

Julie tells us that Pooch and Taylor both think they are pawns, only one is. Pooch says it's the petty girls who want Taylor out and he doesn't know why.

Kyle and Alyssa are flirting on the edge of a showmance. You can tell from this segment that they want to push the showmance factor -- they think it brings up the ratings.

The guys notice all the girls (or most of them) are up in the HOH room. Joseph tells Monte and Kyle that he thinks they are going to vote out Pooch. Joseph doesn't know about the plan, but Monte and Kyle do.

Alyssa tells Kyle about the all girls alliance that Paloma started on the first day.

Julie tells us a blindside seems certain for tonight, but who will be blindsided with the house dividing along gender lines? Ameerah tells Monte that Taylor is trying to backdoor him. She tells him that Pooch is more dangerous to her own game. But Monte isn't sure that's best for his game. Ameerah gets Nicole to confront Monte saying Pooch will go after both of the girls.  

Nicole thinks the females this season are the strongest ever cast on the show. Um, well.

To the living room (as if it's live) --

Pooch - Grateful to be here. I'm already winning. Loyal. Love all y'all. (He rambles and isn't taking it seriously.)

Taylor - Love y'all. If you choose to keep me, I can be an asset to your game.

The votes to evict:

Turner - Pooch

Alyssa - Pooch

Ameerah - Pooch

Joseph - Pooch

To commercial break ...

Daniel - Pooch

Nicole - Pooch

Kyle - Pooch

Monte - Pooch

Michael - Pooch

Brittany - Pooch

Indy - Pooch

Terrance - Pooch

It's unanimous -- Pooch gets the doggy door out! Fake hugs all around.

Julie reminds him he volunteered and pawns often go home. He's shocked that it was 12 to 0. Julie tells him the five-woman alliance siezed the opportunity to vote him out when they could.

Julie calls all to the living room to unveil the new twist. The only way to enjoy a festival with a friend -- you will be playing with a Festie Bestie. By the time the HOH is over, you will have one. If you win HOH, your Bestie is safe, too. Nomination will be one set of Besties. PoV is played with Besties, too. On eviction night, only one bestie is evicted. She will tell what happens to the other best on eviction night.

HOH comp time. Get Lit is the comp. Rounds, hold down button on giant lighter, sit down when music stops. When eliminated, strategic or personal decision. First person eliminated can join Jasmine or have someone else choose. There are giant lighters suspended for them to hang onto. The lighters are moving back and forth. It's a bit like a twisted game of musical chairs although they each have their own chair.

Julie leaves as the hamsters compete. Terrance out first. He doesn't want to be Jasmine's Bestie. He gets his own table. Round two - Brittany out, also takes an empty table. Round three - Joseph out, chooses an empty table. Michael throws it so he can sit with Brittany in Round Four. Round Five - Taylor out, chooses an empty table.

It's up to Round Six. Monte out, chooses to be Festie Bestie with Joseph. Round Seven -- Nicole out, chooses Taylor as her Festie Bestie -- tells us she knows that if they go on the block, she would be safe. Round Eight starts. Indy out, chooses empty table. Round Nine -- Daniel throws it to take the last empty table. Round Ten -- Kyle out, chooses Daniel.

Round Eleven -- Alyssa out, chooses Indy. Round Twelve -- It's Ameerah versus Turner.

TURNER WINS HOH!

Ameerah picks Terrance. So, Turner gets (stuck with) Jasmine. Turner tells us he would love to have Ameerah or Nicole on the block. Brittany doesn't want to lose Michael. Turner thinks being Festie Bestie with Jasmine might give him an in with the girls that he doesn't now have. Nicole SAYS she wants to work with Taylor plus if they go on the block, Taylor is a bigger target.

Who wants to see my HOH room? Nobody, I say! Okay, they all go and he cries through a letter from his girlfriend.

Everybody has to go to the living room for the Have Not choosing. Only one Festie Bestie couple has to be Have Nots. Turner turns the task over to Jasmine. Indy and Alyssa are chosen -- they are the only couple that neither has been a Have Not yet.

Indy is rubbing people wrong, notably Terrance. Heck, just let her sulk for a bit about Have Not. 

Nicole says they should put up Michael and Brittany and backdoor Taylor. She thinks an advantage will come her way if she remains after Bestie Taylor is backdoored.

Turner has decided either Nicole/Taylor or Michael/Brittany. He talks to the women. Hmm. Nicole is acting like Taylor is her actual best friend! But he is more concerned talking to Brittany, she doesn't let on anything actual about gameplay. He tells Michael he trusts him more than Brittany. Michael is worried that they will go on the block.

Nomination Ceremony time. Turner nominates Festie Besties Michael and Brittany, because they don't talk a lot of game with him.

Big Brother: BB24 Live Feeds into Sunday Morning - July 24

 

Smile - You're on Candid Camera

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Leftover Llamas:

• Apparently, some brouhaha went down before the POV comp but after the live feeds were cut yesterday.
• In it, it sounds like Taylor was pretty much attacked by Nicole (and Daniel?).
• Now, yesterday Joseph ended up making himself a new target because Ameerah freaked out that he was talking to Taylor.
• She was sure they were talking game.
• They weren't. Joseph just seems to be a nice guy. He had noticed that she seemed all alone and was being ostracized by the rest of the house. He offered to be someone she could turn to if needed.
• Anyway, all this doesn't happen without people taking notice.
• I told you that Michael/Brittany won the PoV and the plan was to target Ameerah.
• That would mean Turner has to put Ameerah/Terrance on the block.
• However, that would mean there's a chance that Terrance would go, not Ameerah.
• What to do? What to do?
• Meanwhile, Monte -- who really believed in Paloma -- finally came to the realization that Taylor had been honest with him and had approached him about the girls targeting him to give him a heads up.
• The outsiders got together and talked.
• The Girls Girls Alliance has Ameerah, Alyssa, Jasmine, Indy on the outskirts. Brittany was told she's in but they all tend to exclude her. Taylor was never invited.
• The Old Skool Alliance has all the older people -- Daniel, Nicole,Terrance and Alyssa as the youngest member. Brittanny is older than Alyssa but wasn't invited.
• Everyone else has no real ties to an alliance.
• What to do?
• Form one.
• Michael, Brittany, Joseph, Taylor, Kyle, Monte and Turner are now The Leftovers.
• This is the first alliance I've liked.
• They have people good in comps, people good with strategy, some who really know the game.
• Plus, they're uniting because they all realize that Daniel, Nicole and Ameerah have been pushing an agenda pretty much as an act of manipulation rather than having a real basis.
• Taylor never did anything to anyone.
• Now this game is interesting.

The Leftovers cheer

Meeting of the minds in progress

He lucked into a strong alliance

He still owes Taylor an apology, I say!

Finally has "people."

Joseph's PoV Comp host garb

Big Brother: BB24 Live Feeds Saturday, Power of Veto - July 23

 

Bringing dignity to the role of HOH

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Damaged Goods:

• At least, for right now it seems the Taylor Backdoor plan is off and she will survive another week of being alienated by her fellow hamsters.
• Yep.
• Y'see, Joseph committed the ultimate sin of having a fairly lengthy friendly talk with Taylor.
• Nah, Joseph is not the target.
• Ameerah is.
• Why?
• Because she freaked out about him talking to Taylor and went off the hook about it.
• Now they're thinking Ameerah is the one who needs to be backdoored.
• Weird that she is the one who suggested getting Joseph out before Pooch last week.
• Remember, this is all the duo Besties thing -- Michael and Brittany are on the block.
• Of course, any backdoor plan is dependent on the veto winner.
• While Michael has won two vetoes so far, he will be under pressure.
• Supposedly, if the noms remain the same, Brittany would be voted out.
• But, when you think about it, if you were playing the game -- Michael is the biggest threat. It would be wise to vote him out.
• But who says these hamsters are wise?
• Kyle has caught on to Michael knowing more about BB than he admits. Michael slipped mentioning the live feeds and reddit. 
• Joseph thinks Ameerah knows more about BB than she's admitting.
• Last night Jasmine claims Taylor bumped into her foot and hurt it "the other way." @@
• When Nicole came out of the Diary Room in tears, all worried it was bad news about her mother.
• Daniel went to talk to her. It wasn't that at all. It was just stress.
• They sat and talked about what a bad person Taylor is while Taylor was in the living room praying for Nicole's mother. @@
• Nicole/Taylor are the Besties couple randomly picked to play the veto comp with Turner/Jasmine (if she plays) and Michael/Brittany.
• Joseph will host the comp. He asked Daniel for advice. My advice is to not be a Daniel.
• After a really lengthy feeds block, Brittany/Michael won the Power of Veto.
• The veto meeting will be Monday.

Joseph was talking to TAYLOR!

The scene of the crime

So, he talked to Taylor? 

You could poke your eye out doing that!

Surprisingly, his name is rarely
brought up as a target.

He told Taylor she can always talk to him.

Invested in her makeup 

Big Brother: BB24 Live Feeds Friday, Nominations - July 22

 

She should realize she has no allies

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Antsy Alliances:

• If you haven't read my last update about the Besties Festies, please read it now, before this one.
• I will wait.
• Are you back yet?
• The Besties twist is definitely throwing any plans askew in this one.
• Turner, after much talking and asking people to be pawns and such seems to have made up his mind.
• Well, what mind he has, that is.
• Originally, he was determined to go after whoever was responsible for Pooch going.
• Um. dude -- I heard it was either unanimous or almost unanimous.
• Go after the whole house!
• Then Turner got the bright idea that he has to backdoor Taylor to get her out as the house wants her out.
• Yeah, that's why they voted Pooch out.
• I say that in jest, but seriously there is still a huge anti-Taylor movement afoot!
• So, now the task is to get a couple of Besties up as pawns.
• He needs someone who should win veto. Hmm.
• Who to pick? Who to pick?
• Indy already balked at going up.
• Turner thinks Brittany and Michael would be the pair to nominate due to Michael winning two prior veto comps.
• His plan is that if Michael doesn't win, Brittany gets voted out.
• Hmmm.
• The feeds were blocked for nominations.
• Brittany and Michael are on the block.

Kyle still having contacts issues

Brittany looks different every time I see her

He and Jasmine are an odd coupling

Indy is not really under the radar.
She thinks she is.

Big Brother: BB24 Live Feeds into Friday - July 22

 

Just a bit over emotional

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Emo Emus:

• As you should know from my last update, we do have live feeds -- although I expect them down for POV comp -- and the new HOH is Turner.
• Sigh.
• The Bestie Festie is on.
• If I were a writer for the show things I'd be searching for a new job right now. 
• But, then again, it might depend on the salary paid to me!
• The "Besties" are: Turner/Jasmine, Brittany/Michael, Ameerah/Terrance, Nicole/Taylor, Joseph/Monte, Alyssa/Indy, Daniel/Kyle.
• Apparently, as Turner's Bestie, Jasmine is safe for the week.
• This Bestie thing goes on longer than the week. It's a good thing the Besties aren't tethered together!
• As HOH, Turner can't compete for HOH this week. But Jasmine can. If she wins, he's also safe for the week.
• This twist is convoluting or discombobulating everything.
• They have to nominate in pairs by Besties. I have no clue what happens with the Bestie not evicted of a pair.
• The veto comp will have HOH and Bestie, the two nominees and one pair of Besties randomly chosen to play.
• Gah.
• In other news, Turner -- with talk about him calling out his girlfriend Meghan's name during the HOH comp -- got a letter from her in his HOH basket.
• He started crying before he even started to actually read the letter.
• Oh, geez. Give me a break.
• He does have two cute cats, though. They probably nest in his hair at night.
• Heehee.
• There is only one pair of Besties as Have Nots this week.
• Turner wussed out and told Jasmine to pick. Jasmine wussed out and it ended up Indy/Alyssa volunteering.
• That's about it for now. Although there have been a few discussions about nominations, I'm not sure what Turner will do.
• We will know by tonight!

Looking mischievous! 

As Turner's "Bestie" Jasmine also gets a cap

No, not Besties

Turner takes forever crying
through his letter reading

Brittany, excitable gal

Still in the house!

Big Brother: BB24 Live Feeds Eviction, HoH Results Bulletin - July 21

 

The live feeds will run through until we see the "live" taped eviction on Sunday evening. The feeds returned tonight at about 11:40PM ET.

Although no one has mentioned it that I caught, Pooch is missing and Taylor is there. So, the Pooch out the doggy door did indeed go down.

They had the HOH comp. I'm not sure what it was as it was blocked to the feeds. But I'm rather shocked who won ...

Turner. Turner won HOH.

Big Brother: BB24 Power of Veto Show Blog Party - July 20

 

Good evening! Tonight is the veto and all related to such show. I will be live blogging 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 -- I hope to see you there!

Please be mindful that there are no spoilers from the live feeds in comments on the show posts, please. Wait until things air on the show! Thank you!

Previously on ... yeah, we already know that stuff!

We pick up the action after the nominations ceremony. Jasmine tells us she doesn't mind which one goes home. They sound effect squeaks for her knee scooter.

Pooch feels secure that he is just a pawn. Okay. Taylor was told she is a pawn yet feels like a target. Now it's changing so the target is on Pooch. I'm not sure why they consider him such a big threat. Taylor knows the game and can play it better. Taylor is worried that the girls are setting her up. 

A segment about Kyle trying to put contacts in. He got them for the first time. Uh-oh. Michael is in the same boat.

Pooch is confident his guys in the Oasis alliance will have his back. Turner, Joseph, Monte. Monte tells us he's more loyal to his other alliance.

Ohh ... Joseph and Pooch bromance -- two masculine straight boys being so touchy. Michael doesn't want to be a part of it! Joseph calls Pooch "the girlfriend I never asked for."

Veto players pick time. Jasmine draws Ameerah. Taylor draws Michael. Pooch draws Terrance. Daniel hosts. (Gah. He was horrible hosting the last comp!)

Taylor asks Michael if he would take her down. He's honest with her and tells her he would have to talk to Jasmine. He tells her he could make it look convincing that he lost. He goes to talk to Jasmine. She tells him she wants the nominations to stay the same. He tells us he needs to win the veto so Pooch can't.

The veto comp -- the yard is done up like an ocean. Players transformed into mermaids and must move their pearl (ball) down a lane, take a shot, throw the pearl down a wavy lane and repeat until they have three pearls in cups at the end of the wooden lane. Daniel sucks once again at hosting. He needs to be barred from it. Jasmine sits the comp out.

Michael tried to let Taylor win, but had to make the move to win when she missed her shot and Pooch had several pearls lined up. Jasmine still wants Pooch out and the noms to remain the same.

Although Taylor has been told she will be safe, she puts on to Pooch that she's sure she's going. Joseph is worried about Pooch but is pretty sure Taylor is going. Pooch thinks Joseph is clueless about the game when it's actually him being clueless!

More filler stuff. Nicole talks about her mother. They watch BB together. Her mother has cancer. Kyle thinks Nicole is great because he loves his own mother so much.

Michael suggests to the HOH crowd that maybe Joseph needs to go more than Pooch.

Veto meeting time. Michael does not use the veto. He makes a nice speech. Pooch and Taylor remain on the block.

Sunday, 2-hour "special" at 9PM ET/PT. Eviction, Besties twist and more.

Big Brother: BB24 Live Feeds Tuesday into Wednesday Morning - July 20

 

That's an evil grin!

Good morning! My apologies for the lack of an update yesterday -- they were boring and I wasn't up to dealing with them. After all, I depend on them for fodder for this! Anyway ... here's what's been happening inside that Big Brother House of Non-cohesive Nincompoops:

• I know. 
• I shouldn't name call.
• That's mean.
• Oh, well.
• Before we get really started -- I have no idea what they will do now that the eviction show is put off until Sunday. I'm sure it will be taped, not live. BUT ... what will happen to the live feeds? Will they shut down from Thursday evening over the weekend? Hmm.
• If he had been in BB23, Monte would have been the odd man out of the Cookout. He is the most vocal about being on the Anti-Taylor train.
• Terrance seems to agree with him.
• But, then again, Terrance is striving so hard to be so cool and fit in wherever he can. 
• He's a 47-year-old wannabe 25-year-old.
• Are ya hip to the lingo?
• Turner doesn't shower and looks perpetually stoned.
• Wait ... he actually showered yesterday.
• He looked stoned afterwards. Has he sneaked in edibles or is that his natural state?
• Jasmine wants to be an actress.
• Um.
• No. Just no.
• She seems to be realizing she can't milk the ankle sprain forever. She took off the little booty thing they gave her.
• She still has fun on the knee scooter.
• Michael, Brittany and Kyle formed their own little alliance -- The Outsiders.
• Kyle thinks the Girls, especially the ones constantly hanging in the HOH room, are a threat. Brittany admitted to her guys that she's the low one in the pecking order of the Girls alliance.
• They think Pooch is so bad at BB that it could be wiser to keep him around and get Taylor out.
• Joseph tried to get Pooch to calm down his joking around, cuddling and such, telling him it would make him a target.
• But Pooch is strong in his belief that he's the PAWN.
• After all, that's why he's on the block.
• To be the PAWN.
• Joseph knows different. But he isn't about to tell Pooch that he's turned to TARGET.
• Indy seems to have a growing target on her back as of late.
• That's a shame.
• That's about it.
• Laters!

Michael is mixing and mingling well

Oh my. Put the jacket back on!

Better not tainted by the ghost of Paloma

If he had been on BB23, no Cookout possible!

He can't be stoned in the house, can he?

Kyle is a bit under the radar 

Big Brother: BB24 Updated Schedule Change for Eviction Show

 

Due to CBS’s live coverage of the House Select Committee’s Public Hearings, this Thursday’s live eviction episode of Big Brother is moving. They announced it would air Friday. Forget that. 

It will now air as a special two-hour episode this Sunday, July 24th from 8:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT. 

I'm sure it won't be live.

I will post a live feeds update later tonight. There hasn't been a heck of a lot going on.

Big Brother: BB24 Live Feeds Bulletin - POV Meeting - July 18

 

The Veto Meeting, blocked to the live feeds of course, is done and over. As expected, Michael did not use the veto. He really needs to stop winning these things as the wins put a lot of attention on him. Michael is one of the few I like this season. Yeah, I'm just grouchy old so-and-so this year!

Taylor and Pooch remain on the block. It seems like that doggy door will have a Pooch exit on FRIDAY.

Yes, you heard me. FRIDAY. Due to January 6 hearing news coverage on Thursday, the eviction has been moved to 8PM on Friday. I don't know how live or not it will be.

Big Brother: BB24 Live Feeds Sunday into Monday Morning - July 18

 

McCrae BB15 worked briefly
at Michael's workplace

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Misfit Toys:

• Daniel told the hamsters that his brother was murdered and it remains unsolved. The murder still tears his family apart. His family is very frustrated that the police don't seem to be doing anything.
• I don't care for Daniel in the game, but I do have sympathy for him and his family. That has to be horrible.
• His ally Nicole let him know that she was a cop before she turned into a chef. She has been around murders and the affected families, so she can definitely emphasize.
• There was some talk of Michael using his veto to save Taylor and Joseph going up as the renom and being voted out.
• I doubt that will come to fruition.
• Although it still looks like Taylor will be safe this week and Pooch not so much, the anti-Taylor movement quietly persists.
• In my personal opinion, Taylor did no favors talking about the rumored size of Daniel's um ... you know. And how she wants to do it.
• Gah! National television. International internet! Whatever happened to morals and common sense?
• Plus, to me, Daniel is SO not attractive! He isn't bad done up as Elvis. But ... in the house? Ick.
• Jasmine was given a little support splinty booty thing for her ankle. It's a bad sprain. I bet she was hoping it was worse and she could scooter to a win.
• To make me feel really old, Brittany told Michael she was eleven when she met Shannon from BB2, a friend of her teacher.
• Um. BB2, eh? Well, I wasn't 50 yet, but almost there!
• Michael and Kyle are concerned that the girls are going to come after the guys.
• Huh. Superfan Michael should know that the girls can never work together long enough to really affect the game.
• Especially THIS crew!
• The veto meeting will be later today.
• Right now they are still sleeping because they stay up all freakin' night!
• I don't think Michael will use the veto. The noms should remain the same and Pooch will go out the doggy door.

I have no words

Turner and Alyssa make faces at Pooch

Joe whips Michael and Terrance into shape

Taylor, your sex talk doesn't bode well for you

Just a girl and her pineapple

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.
