BB22: Live Feeds into Wednesday Afternoon - Sept. 16

 

Playing with cool camera props

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Blocking B-Words:

• I took a rest from posting the live feeds yesterday. It's bad enough they rescheduled a television episode to air on my birthday.
• Although I didn't post, I did watch the feeds on and off during the day and into the night.
• Well, that is, I watched the crumbs left for us in between feeds blockages.
• We are missing many strategy talks.
• We are missing kerfuffles.
• We are missing rather minor brouhahas.
• We are missing them talking about what happened that we missed.
• I guess the person on the switch was napping when we got the Christmas/Bayleigh/Da'Vonne brouhaha.
• We haven't seen one since.
• Last night there apparently were blow-ups between David and Ian and Ian and Dani.
• But did we see them?
• Nope.
• Heck, BB gave them almost a glass of wine each last night, then cut the feeds.
• I'm beginning to wonder if this isn't the beginning of the end of the live feeds or of the show itself.
• Anyway ... Ian is getting on the nerves of everyone. That is not good for him.
• He had long talks about his growing up issues with handling failures poorly and being a poor sportsman. It sounds like he has really had some traumatic times over losing. He thinks he's worked on it and has made progress.
• Yet, we did see he has anger issues when he thinks he's losing.
• Sigh.
• While I do think Dani does indeed feel terrible about nominating him, she did it. She needs to own it.
• While I like Tyler, before the Ian nom, Tyler would definitely go after her and Ian not so much. She realized beforehand that if Ian was on the block with Tyler, it would probably be Tyler staying. This was AFTER she made it clear that Tyler was her target.
• Silly mean girl.
• Ian is going around trying to get people to shake on voting to keep him.
• David kept pushing and pushing him getting Ian to the point of anger.
• Then David went around saying his intent was to make Ian mad.
• Dang. Ian would be better off out of this toxic house!
• Of course, Nicole cried.
• We knew she would.
• Enzo seems legitimately torn between Tyler and Ian. I think he seems to have a soft spot for Ian but knows it's a lost cause with the others in the house.
• Ian thinks he has enough support to force Dani to break a tie.
• I don't think he has.
• And, if he has, would she break it in his favor?
• Probably for her game's sake, no.
• She really should have put Christmas or Memphis up against Tyler. She claimed that Tyler was her target so she put up someone with almost no allies with him.
• Shame on her.

You reap what you sow

She's proud of her head contraption

Ian is being duped by them

Yes, he is indeed expendable

Guaranteed to target Dani

Enzo really likes Ian ... hmm ...

BB22: Power of Veto Blog Party - Sept. 15

 

Good evening! I hope most folks realize that the show is on tonight rather than its usual Wednesday night slot. If not, may they enjoy country music tomorrow night!

I'll be 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 section -- please join in on the fun!

Previously on and all that comes with it ...

Okay, we're to the point when Dani nominated David and Kevin. Let's get to it!

Dani tells us of the two, she would prefer David go home. If one is saved with the veto, she MIGHT go after Tyler. He isn't feeling safe. David tells us he will be using his power.

Oh, yes! I forgot from last year -- David is the one who can fake cry real tears! He goes into his act and cries first to Da'Vonne. Cody and Memphis don't want Tyler to go up as any kind of replacement, neither does Enzo who thinks of Tyler as a shield. They know Dani wants to get Tyler out.

A female heckling voice pipes through the house calling them all to the dining room: "The Disruptor Power has been unleashed!" It's followed with an evil laugh.

David is saved and pretends he wasn't expecting it. Dani must name a renom immediately and puts Tyler on the block. Poor Dani. Heh. She's freaking out. Kevin is upset because he thinks Tyler will win veto.

Dani thinks she needs to convince Tyler she wants him to stay and put him up in a moment of panic. Tyler tells us he's not buying it. She thinks he can win the veto. Tyler brings up that Kevin might win the veto and then who will she replace him with?

David (foolishly) goes around the house to see who saved him. That makes no sense as you know that they all know he would be the only one to save himself. They are not fooled. I don't know why he's doing it. Da'Vonne tells us he's just being weird.

Christmas is Dani's chosen pawn if someone comes off the block. Christmas isn't happy as she too is in the alliance.

Nicole shunned her Slopitard.

Veto picks -- Dani got Da'Vonne, Tyler got Ian and Kevin got Enzo.

Dani tells Da'Vonne to please win the comp as she wants the nominations to stay the same. 

Veto comp -- Microbrews -- they have to take a teletransporter . The veto comp is being held in the living room. How odd is that?

They have to stack 15 microbrews into a pyramid using giant tweezers. The microbrews are tiny. The rest of the hamsters are watching them on the screen in the HoH room and Nicole is hosting.

DA'VONNE WINS THE POWER OF VETO! Her first win!

Dani hopes Day will keep her promise. Kevin hopes she will use it to save him. Tyler thinks he needs to rethink his strategy. Day tells us she promised Dani only because she's never won a comp and didn't think she'd win.

Kevin and Da'vonne talk. Should she save him with the veto? They are close. She goes to talk to Dani and tells her she's thinking of using the veto on Kevin because there's a "big ass" alliance in the house and she's not a part of it.

Dani goes to Christmas trying to decide what to do if the veto is used. Christmas says her only options are Ian or Enzo. She just cannot put up another member of the Committee alliance. Woe is her.

Dani tells Cody that her only option is Ian. She tells him that she wants Tyler out. He doesn't. 

She tells Nicole about Ian being the only option -- everyone else would be unhappy with her. Nicole, of course, has her own alliance with Ian and doesn't want him to go home. Or, actually to jury now.

Dani tries to put pressure on Day to not save Kevin. After all, she can do more for Day in the game than Kevin can. Also, showing her closeness with Kevin will be a detriment to her game. Sheesh.

Time for the veto meeting. Da'Vonne uses the veto to save Kevin. Dani, reluctantly, puts Ian up in his place. She tells them she needs the 'ultimate pawn" and she wants Tyler to go home this week. So, it's Ian and Tyler on the block.

BB22: Live Feeds into Monday Afternoon, PoV Meeting - Sept. 14

 

Sharing a 'do with Tyler today

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Terrible Turtles:

• Sigh, I try not to be the one whining.
• But, this year, the feeds blocks are much too much.
• Apparently there was another wall shouter yesterday evening.
• Those in the yard didn't hear it. Enzo even thought they called an indoor lockdown due to fires.
• I haven't heard them complaining of the smoke, but would think there has to be at least some smell in the air there.
• I found it interesting that one hamster (Cody?) said they have an armed guard on set.
• Oh my.
• Nonetheless, a wall shouter not heard by anyone, hamster or feeds watcher, does not or should not necessitate a shut down of the live feeds for hours and hours.
• They were down well into the night, almost to the dawn here on the East Coast.
• I'm disgusted with the live feeds coverage this season. Or, more accurately, the lack thereof. It's almost as if they're not pushing the feeds as they have done for years. 
• Anyway ... the POV meeting went down fairly early (for them) today.
• Da'Vonne used the veto to save Kevin. 
• Dani replaced Kevin with Ian.
• So, it's Ian and Tyler on the block -- two of the players I actually wanted to watch play the game this season.
• With Kevin on the block, it was likely that Tyler might be sent packing.
• He's already had a hissy fit claiming if he's sent to jury he's just going to leave and forfeit any monies.
• Hmm.
• Ian has also voiced that he wants to go home.
• Watching their talks since the veto meeting, it seems now it should be Ian leaving on Thursday.
• David told Da'Vonne that Ian acts like he and Kevin are dumb.
• No one really knows Ian's gameplay.
• He has no real close allies other than Nicole and Nicole is more attached to him than he to her.
• He is one of the two previous winners in this house of supposed all stars.
• It looks like Tyler is now out of the crosshairs and Ian is the target.
• Sigh.
• Unless things change, it will be Ian leaving.
• In a way, it might be best for him. He would be out of the house of stress where people are mocking him for his autism. He has voiced hope that Kaysar might get him a job. I can see Kaysar doing that if he can.
• But if he leaves, that would leave me with just a few I actually like to watch on the live feeds -- Da'Vonne and Enzo.
• Oh, well. 

Oh, Da'Vonne, what have you done?

Schemes more than he plays

Yo, Bayonne, what up?

See! It's Christmas hair!

BB22: HoH Finish and Nominations Show Blog Party - Sept. 13

 

It seems so long ago and far away. The gap between shows and the actual live in house happenings is never longer than it is when the live feeders already know who won HOH, who won POV, etc. when the show hasn't even finished the HoH comp! Please, no spoilers about things not shown on the show in the comments here! I will remove spoiler comments!

Also remember -- The show will air Tuesday at 8pm ET/PT this week instead of Wednesday. There is a music awards show scheduled for Wednesday.

I will be 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!

Previously on is on. We pick up the action with the HoH comp in motion. Remember, the first three who fall will be this week's Have Nots.

We see Christmas apologize to Da'Vonne, who tells her that she will be safe if Da'Vonne wins HoH. Da'Vonne tells us the first opportunity, Christmas will be gone. We're seeing more Diary Room segments on how they want to win or not win. Dani says she doesn't want to win, just wants to outlast Tyler because she thinks he is coming after her.

Christmas is being annoying shouting out direction to the ones on the wall. Eep. Da'Vonne fell first.

Enzo is being typically Enzo, clowning around. David down. Ian down. So -- Da'Vonne, David and Ian are the Have Nots. Memphis dropped immediately once the Have Not slots were filled. 

Enzo is out. Kevin down. Tyler out in a flip dismount. Dani had been waiting him out. She tells us that she wanted to stay in a while longer so it wouldn't be obvious. Cody tells he doesn't want to win this one, let them get blood on their hands. Nicole, after making too many orgasm sounds, falls. Then Cody goes down.

DANI IS THE NEW HOH.

While she's excited about the letters from home and such that go with the HOH win, she really doesn't look forward to nominations. After all, she's pretty much aligned (although planting seeds behind backs) with just about everybody in the house. Da'Vonne wants to push the Tyler target. She talks to a confused David. He reminds up he has the Disruptor Power which allows him to take a nominee off the block. He hasn't told anyone.

Kevin is worried because, while he really likes Dani, he has no idea where her head is at game-wise. Da'Vonne suggests her putting Christmas up. Of course, Da'Vonne will be okay with anyone who is not Da'Vonne. Cody points out that the only two Dani doesn't have an alliance with are David and Kevin. She tells him that she thinks Tyler is coming after her. He doesn't think it's time to go for him yet.

Cody seems to want Tyler to stick around as a shield and bigger threat than he himself is in the game. So, he pushes Dani for the Kevin/David nominations and hope no one gets saved.

A pranking and Dani scaring Cody segment with Day abetting. Back to Kevin worrying as he talks to Dani. He thinks he's a bad representation of the LBGTQ Community because he acts too feminine. 

Tyler talks to Dani. He wants to smooth over the rough patch but would understand if she wants to put him up. He thinks it will weaken the alliance and not be a good game move at this time. Is she convinced? Hmm.

Dani talks to Nicole about going after Tyler. Nicole tries to talk her out of it because of the alliance. She thinks it's too soon. Then Kevin comes to visit her again. She tells him she's scared of the power, trusts him and he would be a pawn. She asks him how he would feel if she promised he'd be safe. He tells her that others might think of him as expendable and is worried about being a pawn. Dani tells us that "everyone" wants Kevin and David on the block.

She makes an agreement with Tyler that they won't go after the Committee and he amends it to not going after her until the final four.

Time for nominations. Dani first nominates Kevin, then David. She says she doesn't want to crush anyone's dreams but they don't really talk game with.

David tells us it's time to disrupt the house.

We won't see him use the power or the aftermath until the TUESDAY show.

 

BB22: Live Feeds into Saturday Afternoon, PoV Results - Sept. 12

 

Rather glum, don't you think?

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Harried Hamsters:

• First, I need to mention something that went down last night after I last posted.
• Now, this happened off camera so I don't know whose version to believe.
• I've heard Memphis say before that production told him it was okay to intimidate people.
• David, rather foolishly as no one but himself would save himself, has denied that he used a power to remove himself from the block.
• Yes, if I were a fellow house hamster, I'd doubt his story, too.
• BUT ... supposedly Memphis came along and hit (whatever) David on the shoulder telling him to 'fess up and admit he had and used a power.
• In the retelling of the tale with Dani, Enzo, Cody present, Cody has him really hitting David hard and being very scary. Dani showed what Memphis told her he did as a friendly little shoulder tap and a gentle pleading voice to confess. Enzo says it was actually something in between.
• No matter what way, Memphis should not be allowed to intimidate people.
• Oh. And David is stupid not to just go ahead and admit it.
• Today's veto players are Dani, Tyler and Kevin (HOH and the two nominees) and the randomly selected players Da'Vonne, Ian and Enzo.
• Da'Vonne won the Power of Veto -- comp blocked to the live feeds, of course.
• I can't help but giggle a bit that Dani's HoH has turned into a bit of a feces-show!
• Heh.
• First, she nominated Kevin and David.
• David saved himself with his secret BB Basement power.
• So, Dani had to nominate a third person even before veto.
• Now, with Da'Vonne winning the PoV and being a tight ally of Kevin's, it's very likely she will use it to save him.
• I know that others will try to convince her that it will be Tyler leaving, not Kevin.
• But, will she take that chance with one of her few allies?
• I don't think so.
• If she saves Kevin, Dani's choices are limited. 
• She could put Christmas up (as a pawn?) but will she take a chance on a woman leaving?
• Or, she could put Ian up. If it's Ian and Tyler on the block, I could see Ian leaving.
• I don't want that to happen.
• Pretty much everyone else who's not already safe (David, Kevin if he's saved) is in her alliance.
• I would love for her to take the move and put Memphis up or Christmas. I'd rather either of them leave over Tyler or Ian.
• I suppose she could put up Enzo thinking Tyler would go.
• Heck, I'd rather Kevin leave over Tyler or Ian. But Da'Vonne will do whatever she feels is right with the veto. And, I believe that will be to save Kevin.
• The veto meeting isn't until Monday.
• What a quandary ...

I be cool. I used my power!

I WON MY FIRST VETO EVER!

They said I could intimidate people.

I should still be safe.

BB22: Live Feeds into Friday Evening, Nominations - Sept. 11

 

"It's time for someone with powers to flex them."

May we never forget the events of September 11, 2001.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Irreverent Idjits:

• As you know or should know from my last post, Dani won the HoH.
• Now, remember ... she always talks of making big moves. Will she do so?
• She also holds the BB Basement power that allows the HoH to play for HoH the next week when they usually have to sit out.
• She hasn't said anthing about that yet. I guess it gets invoked (if she uses it) on Thursday.
• Dani spent part of last night and most of today talking to each and every fellow hamster.
• She didn't tell them that she already knew what she wanted to do.
• Well, she told a few in her inner circle that she wanted to put up two pawns, then backdoor "someone" after veto.
• Kevin balked at the thought of once again being used as a pawn. He told Dani if he gets evicted she will lose his vote if she makes it to the end.
• To be honest, I don't see her making it to the end. But I see more that Kevin does. With all the feeds blocks, I don't see as much as I should see!
• So ... who is her secret backdoor target if a pawn comes down?
• Tyler.
• She feels she needs to backdoor him, striking before he can get her out.
• It seems that certain hamsters must have been talked to about mocking Ian because of his mannerisms due to his autism. Of course, it took a TMZ article to bring it about, but ...!
• While Nicole was definitely a part of the mocking and doesn't know she's losing sponsor contracts due to it, her alliances with both Ian and Dani will keep Ian out of even the pawn crosshairs this week.
• Dani ended up putting two more POC on the block this week. Yeah, supposedly as pawns to get a white boy out, but not the best move to make these days.
• Dani nominated Kevin and David.
• Since the yard opened up for them today -- it's usually closed from the Thursday night HOH until Sunday after the POV is set up and dismantled -- there is speculation over what tomorrow's POV will be.
• They think it might be the Hide and Go Seek comp in which they hide vetos inside the house then make a disaster of the house looking for them.
• In a rare non-blocked production mention Nicole told Ian she doesn't know if they can do that because usually each competitor goes in, hides their veto and they're followed by a production member who takes eacj veto and re-hides each one after the other competitors have come through. That keeps them from finding the veto while hiding theirs or hiding them in the same place.
• I did not know that.
• In other news, they have an ant attack going on in the kitchen.
• Oh, wait, that's not news.
• So ... we're going into confusion with an open yard and two pawns -- David and Kevin -- on the block.
• David has not invoked his power which could remove him from the block. As far as I understand it, he would have to do it at nominations ceremony. He didn't. I'm so confused.
• Maybe he thinks he's safe. Maybe he thinks he wasn't going on the block and didn't think he would be.
• Maybe he did use it and it won't be announced until before veto. 
• I just don't know.
• But what he doesn't know is that Dani has said if no one comes down, she would want David gone before Kevin went.

UPDATE: AFTER I POSTED THIS, DAVID'S POWER WAS INVOKED. HE IS NOW OFF THE BLOCK. DANI REPLACED HIM WITH TYLER.

TYLER AND KEVIN ARE THE NOMINEES.

I've seen her not wear it a lot

Not in danger with Dani

I will talk with all, then do my plan

Dani doesn't know Enzo is onto her

I'm expendable again?!?!

We all know she's safe this week

At least Dani wants men out!

BB22: Live Feeds HOH Endurance Comp Updates - Sept. 10

 Once the live feeds return, I will be updating this post to get you the latest news. Refresh the page for updates!

Or not as this is what I get when I go to the site: 503: Service Temporarily Unavailable

We’re currently experiencing site issues, but are working hard to fix them. Please check back shortly.

918pm ET - Site still down for me. I checked on Twitter. Massive down. Great timing.

I see on Twitter Da'Vonne fell.

9:21pm ET I finally have feeds

9:25pm ET - It looks like Da'Vonne is the only one out. They keep talking to Mike, one of the comp guys. No one seems to be telling them to stop.

As usual, the wall is doing the tilting forward, rain and goop is being sprayed at them.

9:30pm ET Quad Cam

9:42pm ET - Julie was right. This is an epic. The most epically boring wall comp they've ever had on the show. I wonder how Da'Vonne managed to fall before CBS fixed the site. No shaking them, nothing. Just the tilt, rain.

9:48pm ET - David is down. Something went wrong with his hand (slipped? Hurt?)

9:53pm ET - Ian and Memphis both down, Ian first. So, Ian, David and Da'Vonne will be Have Nots.

10:01pm ET - Enzo down.

10:07pm ET - Kevin down.

10:16pm ET - Tyler down. Only Cody, Nicole and Dani remain on the wall.

10:22pm ET - Nicole down followed almost immediately by Cody.

DANI IS THE NEW HOH

And I'm outta here!

BB22: Live Eviction Show Blog Party - Sept. 10

 

Good evening! I hope everyone is safe and well. 

Tonight we will see either Bayleigh or Da'Vonne sent home. I believe tonight's HoH comp is either endurance like a wall comp or just plain lengthy like a slip and slide. I think we'll see the start of it on the show, but most will take place after the live show ends here on the East Coast. I'm not sure if it will be shown on the live feeds as they have blocked so much and so weirdly this year. If it's on the live feeds, I'll create a separate post to cover the action.

You can check in on Lifeguard SueGee's blog pool update at this here linked post.

I will be 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 join in on the fun! 

Previously on segment ... we don't talk about this!

Ohh, we will get a brouhaha and they promise the beginning of an "epic" endurance comp. It's Day 37.

But first ... a tense veto meeting leaves everyone looking for answers. Well, that's what she said. Christmas tells us that she will not let Tyler leave. Da'Vonne is not happy.

Bayleigh thinks Tyler tricked them when he volunteered to go up and out. Christmas is stuck on the untouchable bit. Bayleigh went and told her that Da'Vonne is her untouchable and that's how this all started although I think Christmas would have put them on the block anyway.

Bayleigh feels she got Day in this spot. She did. Day talks to Christmas and tells her that she has no reason to put Tyler up and that Bayleigh is the one who's after him. Christmas tells her that she is her ally and wants her in the house. Da'Vonne nods but tells us she's done with Christmas.

Tyler tells Da'Vonne that Christmas wouldn't let him go up and he will vote to keep her. Enzo tells David that he would prefer Bayleigh stay while David tells us the same.

Cody gets called to the Diary Room where he's told the news that his grandfather died via a letter. He died on Labor Day. Cody is in tears and the show is really sucky to exploit his pain, IMO.

Christmas goes on about Bayleigh being upset in front of Da'Vonne. Day tries to convince her that Bay feels hurt because she thought Christmas was a friend or ally. Christmas isn't really listening to anything Day says. After all, Christmas is the victim in all of this. Their voices are getting raised but only to a low kerfuffle level.

Uh-oh. Bay is told. Da'Vonne walks away and Bay comes in. Ian is stuck in the shower without a towel while this is going on in the bathroom. Day goes out in the yard and cries about she didn't want people to sit there and say that's what they expected of her to go angry.

Meanwhile, Bay and Christmas are at high Kerfuffle Level. Oh! Brouhaha! In each other's face. Day doesn't want to be portrayed as an angry ghetto Black girl and thinks she's blown her game. 

Christmas is livid and, of course, none of this is her fault.

To the living room --

Day -- Thank you, loves kid, BLM, lot of BB in her. Love Bay.

Bay -- Second Day, you're doing a good job, won't take it personal, love Day.

The votes to evict:

Dani - Bay

Ian - Bay

Cody - Bay

Enzo - Bay

To commercial ... 

Tyler - Bay

David - Bay

Memphis - Bay

Nicole - Bay

Kevin - Bay

Another unanimous vote and Bayleigh can escape the madness. She did so much better this season. She was expecting the exit tonight and left with grace, dignity and hugs for all. She handles the interview with Julie very well.

HoH comp start. It's a wall. Julie tells them the five evicted have been sent home and they're all on the jury. The wall is PowerTrip and it's a billboard setting. First three to fall off will be Have Nots. Julie says it will play out on the live feeds so I will get a separate post up to cover it.

BB22: Power of Veto Show Blog Party - Sept. 9

 

Who will win the Power of Veto? Can/will any of those whacko powers from the BB Basement come into play and throw a wrench into things? I guess we'll see!

I will be 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 -- I hope to see you there!

Previously on and on and on ...

We pick up on the action after the veto meeting adjourns. We're promised an unseen series of events. Hmm.

Christmas tells us she has to break up Bay/Day as they are a powerful duo. Bayleigh tells Da'Vonne that she wants to go home and Day needs to stay. But she cries to us about her broken heart. Da'Vonne seems a bit disappointed that Bayleigh seems ready to give up. They need to fght! Tears. Tears.

David tells us he won't be using his power to save one of them. He wants to save it in case he needs it. Maybe he is learning the game!

Now Christmas is crying. You know she is distraught that she had to make the nominations. She tells us that although Bayleigh thinks it's personal, it's not. They are not part of her alliance.

Day goes to Dani to try to squash the issues they have because someone has been saying they're targeting each other. Dani denies it but is upset that Tyler opened his mouth. She tells Nicole that Tyler needs to be backdoored. Nicole isn't really aboard with that because he is in one of her many alliances. Dani really wants him out and goes to Christmas. Christmas does not want to target him but thinks it will be a problem.

Veto player random draw time! Christmas draws Nicole F (like the F is needed now). Day gets Dani while Bay draws Ian.

Ian tells us he didn't want to play veto because he's unwell. He's barely slept in two days and his heart seems to be racing. He will talk to BB about it. Dani thinks if she wins the veto and saves Day, Day will like her and Tyler might go up.

Veto comp. David hosts. There's a track set up in the yard. Brain has to move as fast as your feet. They have to start when numbers added on a screen equal 13.Medics say Ian cannot compete. It's the Madcathalon -- with each one eliminated claiming a prize. Others later eliminated can swap the prizes.

Da'Vonne false start first, eliminated. Power of veto won.

Second race -- Bayleigh out. Fitness prize/slop pass. Trades for the veto.

Third race -- Dani out. Slopiard unitard -- trades for the slop pass

Fourth race -- Nicole out -- $5,000 -- trades for the costume Slopitard

Christmas wins! -- triathelete prize, 500 laps -- trades for the veto

So, Christmas wins the Power of Veto.

Ian is feeling better. Nicole is called to the Diary Room for her costume. It's huge and reminiscent of a giant cereal box.

Tyler is not feeling well. He's losing weight and feels pressured. He doesn't want to be stuck in jury. He feels very down and talks to Bay and Day. He tells us he feels it's his fault the house is against Bay and Day. He apologizes to them, tells them he's been struggling, he feels bad and wants to win but do it the right way. He wants to stand for something bigger. He tells them he wants to ask Christmas to use the veto and put him on the block, vote him out. His voice is cracking as he talks but he is wearing sunglasses so you can't see his eyes. 

He goes off to talk to Christmas. What he tells her is pretty much what he told them. She balks at the thought. He doesn't feel comfortable with either Bay or Day going home. He tells her they deserve to stay there more than he does. She balks.

She tells us she doesn't know what she will do. She is shocked at the idea of backdooring Tyler. She says to him -- I'll do what I want to do. 

Bayleigh is skeptical that Tyler is just saying he wants to do that for television. She tells Da'Vonne her concerns. They try to figure out votes for either of them to stay. Da'Vonne thinks they need to make sure Christmas knows they won't come after her if they stay. 

Christmas tells us that she doesn't want to lose Tyler to Bayleigh. Christmas tells Tyler that Bayleigh is after him. She thinks Bayleigh is a dangerous player. Now he tells us he might be having second thoughts. Christmas says it's her choice as she is HOH and PoV holder.

Veto meeting time. Christmas does NOT use the veto. Bayleigh and Da'Vonne remain on the block. Bayleigh wants her to share her "untouchable" and she refuses. NO. Tyler says since Bayleigh said she would go after him, he's glad he stayed.

BB22: Live Feeds into Wednesday Afternoon - Sept. 9

 

Schemin' demons

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Mean Meerkats:

• Wait ... I guess that's unduly cruel to meerkats.
• Things have calmed down in the Bay/Day/Christmas and sometimes Tyler drama.
• Tyler did not get involved in any of the shouting matches.
• His involvement stems from whether he's lying or not about not being able to volunteer to go on the block and go home to save both Bay and Day.
• I'm not sure.
• I actually think that Christmas has a more uncaring ability about her than does Tyler.
• However, Tyler has certainly proved that he doesn't really know when he should shut up when he's trying to befriend/ally with some folks.
• Bayleigh seems to be more accepting of the fact that it will be her leaving tomorrow night.
• No brouhahas.
• Cody got called into the Diary Room last night and was told that he grandfather died.
• Of course, just like dating back to 9/11 with Monica's (BB2) cousin missing and Frankie's grandfather, no phone call was allowed to talk to the family. They do seem to be given the choice to quit and go home in these circumstances. However, a monitored phone call would probably help mentally in such a situation.
• Once word got around about his grandfather, his fellow hamsters were consoling and willing to give him some time to grieve.
• It's too bad BB didn't feel the same way. They kept following him around with the cameras forever. Dang. Leave him alone for a bit. 
• In other news, both Memphis and Dani made disparaging remarks about Ian's autism and rocking.
• Insensitive jerkfaces!
• Adults shouldn't be mocking and laughing at people who are different. That's a third grade move.
• Trust me, I'd rather be stuck in a house with Ian over either Memphis or Dani.
• I've actually been surprised at how well Enzo is doing this season. His social game was decent in his original season, but it's nothing short of stunning this season. His comp win in his original season was just the OTEV veto. Now he seems to be on a streak. I doubt he'll win this season. But, compared to many others (Dani, Kevin, Memphis and more), I wouldn't feel let down.
• I think Enzo is playing the social game Tyler WANTS to play.
• That's all for now ...

Trying, but still out of his league

BB - Leave him be for a bit!

Can't erase that target

Insensitive jerkface 

Doesn't deserve to be mocked

BB22: Live Feeds into Tuesday Evening - Sept. 8

 

So ... this is the kind of thing I've been watching from inside the Big Brother House of Catastrophic Chaos. I thought the videos I found could explain it better than I can given mere text and still shots. Here's the latest:

• Things have calmed down.
• But this is not a happy house no matter if BB tries to get them all playing in group activities or whatever.
• Bayleigh really shouldn't go at Christmas like that. Christmas has an arrest record for domestic violence. Bayleigh, though she can get emotional, is really not a tough girl. Apparently Christmas is and she is in great physical shape.
• It's hard to say who's lying, who's just playing the game of BB or what.
• Tyler has SAID that BB wouldn't allow him to volunteer as a renom on the block if Christmas removed one of the nominees.
• He told Bayleigh and Da'Vonne he was volunteering to go on the block and go home in the spirit of their BLM devotion for having a Black female winner.
• So ... they thought he was such a good guy.
• Then he says that BB won't let him and Christmas keeps the nominations the same.
• Yet BB allowed Christmas to go up as a volunteer renom last week?
• It's a mess.
• Meanwhile, Bayleigh has admitted to tainting the jury against Tyler in their season.
• Now, Tyler has been saying (not to Bay or Day) that Bayleigh needs to go out before jury because she's an emotional player and would sway the jury.
• Hmm. I thought it was a standard rule of BB that jury was not allowed to discuss game.
• Ian and Bayleigh talked. He was honest with her and spoke in percentages. Right now he's favorable to keeping Da'Vonne 60/40. He said it could change. He also told her that he will let her know before the vote.
• This whole mess is sad. I look at Bayleigh -- yes, she is emotional (and definitely was a bitter juror). But I've seen her try so hard to control her emotions, mainly because she doesn't want to be portrayed or perpetuate the stereotype of an angry Black woman. I get it. But I see her as a young woman, more or less a kid really, who has lived a fairly sheltered life thrown into a very disturbing reality show house. To be honest, I probably wouldn't handle it any better than her. 
• Well, my voice isn't as annoyingly pitchy. There's that.
• Da'Vonne is also fairly young. But I think she's had more of a hardscrabble kind of life and had to grow up when she was still young. 
• Christmas is coming across as cold-hearted and sneaky. Plus she talks too much. Oh ... and has an arrest record for violence and really shouldn't be in the house.
• Tyler? I just don't know. I think he wants to be a good guy. He has been telling the others how mean he was to Bayleigh in that he was a smart-ass and smug with her.
• But I just don't know about the Diary Room thing.
• They apparently don't have the exit buzzer that they can just self-evict and walk out. I don't know if it's been gone for several seasons or just this one due to COVID.
• Anyway, it's all a spool of lies as far as I'm concerned!

BB planned group actvities

Tired of the drama

I am NOT ghetto. I AM upset.

The target is off of me now

Frantic hammocking
