Big Brother: BB24 Live Feeds Bulletin, Nominations - August 5

 



The feeds were blocked for the nominations. Were there any surprises? Hmm. Nope. As he had planned, Michael nominated Monte, Joseph and Terrance for eviction. If the veto is used, Kyle/Daniel should go up as renoms. If the veto is not used, the target is Terrance to go home.



Big Brother: BB24 Live Feeds into Friday, New HoH - August 5

 

Turner LOVED Taylor's speech last night!

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Boisterous Beasts:

  • Of course the feeds were blocked for the HOH comp.
  • I think production feels that showing the comp on the Sunday episode increases the ratings for that night.
  • I also think the only comps we will see on the feeds might be any endurance comps.
  • I could be wrong.
  • Ah, I miss the old days pre-Slop when they aired the food comps on the live feeds!
  • Anyway, the feeds returned to Michael wearing the HOH key and no Have Nots.
  • Hmm.
  • A rather disturbing conversation happened when Kyle told Michael he thinks the POC (including minorities like Indy from Brazil and Joseph due to being considered brown and his religion) are going to team up and want him out. He thinks he, Alyssa, Michael and Brittany should form an alliance to protect themselves.
  • Hmm.
  • Now, Michael didn't say anything.
  • However, Michael has a final three deal with Brittany and Taylor.
  • Plus, the POC in this cast of hamsters do NOT work together well -- most targeted Taylor!
  • Kyle is way off base and it looks like his rather sheltered life not exposing him to people unlike himself could be to his detriment.
  • Plus, the Kyle/Alyssa thing needs to stop!
  • That last was my own opinion.
  • Michael wants his ultimate target to be Daniel.
  • He's thinking of a backdoor plan, possibly putting the trio of Monte, Terrance and Joseph on the block, evicting Terrance if the veto is not used. If the veto is used, put up Daniel/Kyle.
  • Huh.
  • I personally think right now Daniel is not the threat he was before.
  • He's a rather broken and crushed version of his previous self.
  • Honestly, although I can't see it happening, of the two I think Kyle is more of a threat.
  • But I doubt Michael wants to make waves at this time.
  • He is just happy that he and Brittany are safe for the week. 
  • He really has issues that Alyssa didn't go as they agreed last week to give him and Brittany a shield of Indy in their Besties.
  • Hey, Michael ... you could do it this week!
  • Heh.

Does Monte know Kyle thinks he's a threat?

Big Brother: BB24 Live Eviction Show Blog Party - August 4

 


Good evening! I hope everybody is weathering the weather these days. I so do not like the heat! Bring on autumn!

Tonight we will see the live eviction show and perhaps the start of the HoH comp. They seem to like to put that off and sometimes show it on the Sunday show. So, I can't promise HoH!

Before we get going, Lifeguard SueGee has updated the blog pool and here we stand:

Indy    - Brenda, JamieNJ, Krysta, Petals
Jasmine       - Sharon N, Babs, tbc, ChaCha
Joseph    - Cheryl in NC, T-Town Chick, Sharon C, Tammy M

I will be live-blogging the show as it 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!

I'm not sure I really like Julie's pink summery one-piece pants thing she's wearing tonight. I think it makes her look heavier. Oh, well. Let's sit through Previously On.

It's Day 30. Julie recaps the recap for us. Daniel tells us that he hasn't trusted Monte since the Ameerah vote and, because Monte wanted to keep the noms the same, he had to use the veto. So, he put his only real ally on the block. He honestly thinks they have the votes to send Taylor packing and not Nicole.

Alyssa thinks it was Kyle who saved her off the block. She doesn't realize it was really Daniel. Taylor is really upset because she was told she wouldn't be going on the block this week even though she would be safe.

Daniel talks to Alyssa/Indy saying how he saved them because he loves them and they need to save Nicole. Nicole is certain she has the votes to stay. She seems to think by telling Indy, Alyssa and Jasmine that she was a cop for ten years they will be sure to keep her.

Daniel tells us that people make the mistake of getting too comfortable in the game ... as he and Nicole are calling the others clowns and are sure she will stay.

The obligatory showmance segment ... Kyle and Alyssa. She's "in love." 

Since the Leftovers are worried about a tie vote, they need to keep their alliance under cover.

Nicole talks to Monte. She lies and tells Monte what he wants to hear as she no longer trusts him. Monte tells us he doesn't trust Nicole and will go to Jasmine, Alyssa and Indy that she (Nicole) will target them. He tells Jasmine. She runs to the other two after telling us in the DR that she didn't want to be "on the other side of the house" again. Indy speaks up against Taylor and how she was supposed to leave the first week.

To the living room for the live vote --

Nicole - Loves her mother, loyalty and integrity, I will play with humility and grace and the right person will win the game

Taylor - Shoutouts. Points out her closest ally put Nicole in the game. Loves all.

The votes to evict:

Joseph - Nicole
Terrance - Nicole
Michael - Nicole
Indy - Nicole
Commercial break.
Jasmine - Nicole
Daniel - Taylor
Turner - Nicole
Kyle - Nicole
Alyssa - Nicole
Brittany - Nicole
Michael is the only one who didn't do shout-outs!

Nicole looked like she knew she was gone the second Julie said nine to one. Heh. A bitter Daniel tells them all that they all can't split the check and they need to play for themselves.

Nicole says Taylor's speech was amazing and comical. Nicole claimed that she (Nicole) was playing her alliance's game. She handles the interview well.

Gather in the living room -- time for Taylor to choose a Festie Bestie duo or trio to join. She chooses Indy and Alyssa. Hmm.

No HOH start. It will probably play out tonight with the feeds blocked.

In the live feeds end of show peek, Daniel is alone pacing, saying he should pack his bags and how much he doesn't want to live with these people.


Big Brother: BB24 Live Feeds into Thursday - August 4

 

Body language is shouting

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Smoke and Mirrors:

  • Not a heck of a lot to report.
  • The plan is still to blindside Nicole.
  • Unfortunately, it's not going to be much of a blindside.
  • No, no one told her.
  • They're all still lying to her.
  • But she could tell by the way they wouldn't look into her eyes and how they were treating her that the vote was flipped.
  • Now she thinks it will be unanimous or almost unanimous that she will go home.
  • Daniel says that he probably won't last much longer and that they're all sheep playing the game for other people.
  • "You can't share the money," he says.
  • Both still are blinded to their own behaviors in the house.
  • Laters!


Set Kyle free, Alyssa!


She thinks he can be trusted.


How long will she last?


Up all night talking

Big Brother: Power of Veto Show Blog Party - August 3

 


Good evening, hamster fans! Tonight's show will be the veto comp and the veto meeting. Please don't post any spoilers in the comments before they air on the show!

I will be live-blogging and updating this entry constantly 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 blah-blah-blah ...

We pick up the action after the nominations ceremony. Monty tells us that Alyssa/Indy were the only Besties without a Leftover in it. He would still like to get Nicole out. 

Joseph and Monte would both prefer Nicole out but don't like the idea of Taylor, her Bestie, going on the block again. They are trying to earn trust with her. 

Michael wants to bring Brittany and Taylor to the end. 

Daniel picked up that Monte said Indy and Alyssa are not the target. He goes to Monte. Monte lies and tells him that Taylor is his target. Daniel is suspicious and wonders if Monte might want to backdoor Nicole. 

Taylor, Kyle and Michael giggle about the possibility of Daniel winning and using the veto and sending his best friend home.

They push the Kyle/Alyssa showmance with a segment. Daniel tells Nicole that if he wins the veto, he will not use it because he doesn't trust them.

Veto Player pick time -- Three sets of Besties will compete. Terrance/Joseph/Monte, Alyssa/Indy and ... Monte will choose a chip from the box. He randomly selects Daniel/Kyle.

Brittany thinks, because she and Michael are the only fully Besties from the Leftovers, it would be better to keep the noms the same, get rid of Alyssa and get Indy in the Leftovers.

Veto Comp time -- Tie-dyed shirts on all. Psychedelic Slop. One of the Besties takes a "trip" and reports what's seen to the other. We get cartoon versions of the trippers. Then the non-tripping Bestie has to answer questions about the trip.

1. Kyle and Indy get a point.
2. All get points
3. Kyle gets a point
4. Kyle and Indgy get points
5. All get points

Kyle/Daniel win the veto!

Kyle tells us he will take Alyssa down. Meanwhile, Daniel doesn't want to use the veto as he doesn't want to risk Nicole.

The Leftovers meet up and make the decision that it might be best for them not to use the veto, evict Alyssa and take in Indy with Britanny/Michael. They ask Michael and he's not keen on the idea. He has already promised Alyssa he would save her with the veto. He's between a rock and a hard place with this one.

Monte talks to Daniel and Nicole. He tells them that he's worried about the votes if he puts Taylor/Nicole on the block. Nicole tells us she's sure she has the numbers to stay. Daniel thinks that Monte is just saying not to use the veto to protect Taylor. Heh.

Daniel tells Kyle his theory. Kyle is thrilled that it would mean that Alyssa comes down. He also says it will be an epic BB moment if Daniel does it and they evict Nicole.

Time for the Veto Meeting. Daniel/Kyle save Alyssa/Indy. Monte puts Nicole/Taylor on the block in their place. Neither Brittany nor Taylor are happy about this move. Taylor still has trust issues. Nicole is smug that she will stay. Heh.

Big Brother: BB24 Live Feeds into Wednesday Morning - August 3

 

BB took away Jasmine's scooter
and gave her a boot

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Bye-Bye Bully:

  • If you noticed, I didn't post yesterday.
  • If you notice, this update has a larger amount of screen caps than usual.
  • That's because I was going to post yesterday. But, before I could, I ended up really not feeling well and running constantly to the bathroom.
  • That's a pain in a wheelchair as it doesn't fit through the bathroom door and I had to constantly get up and down.
  • I must have eaten something that disagreed with my stomach. I'm feeling better today.
  • But I'm no Jasmine!
  • I don't lay about and have people fetch stuff for me, waiting on me hand and foot!
  • Speaking of Jasmine ... BB took her scooter away from her yesterday.
  • They gave her a walking boot and a cane.
  • Now, since that's a walking boot, she really shouldn't need a cane.
  • And, if she needs a cane, she should hold it in the opposite hand from the "injured" ankle.
  • She is really milking it ... and now fussing more than she did with the scooter. 
  • Oh, and she's plopping down and having people wait on her. @@
  • In other news, Alyssa has set her showmance target on Kyle.
  • She kissed him.
  • He acts like no girl has ever kissed him.
  • It seems that he should still be sticking to the Leftovers plan of taking out Nicole this week even though he's telling Alyssa he will be voting out Taylor.
  • Daniel and Nicole are still trying to figure out the numbers.
  • Several people are lying to him.
  • No matter what, this week's vote should draw the line in the sand.
  • Nicole is threatening to tear the house apart if she stays.
  • Good. That's another reason to get rid of her.
  • There are some cracks in the Leftovers.
  • But, if they can do it, I think they should remain together until they can get out Nicole, Daniel, Alyssa and Indy (pretty much in that order) ... as long as the Leftovers can win HOH.
  • Oh. The seasonal ant invasion of the kitchen has started.
  • Nicole fussed and slammed things around saying it was because people don't wash their dishes.
  • Sure, that could be a problem. 
  • However, us regular feeds watchers know the ants return every summer!


Kyle talks to us


Daniel schemes with Nicole


Will Brittany and Michael split from the Leftovers?


The ants have returned to the BB kitchen


At least it's not one against the world now


She needs to stop showmancing with Kyle!

Not a happy hamster!

Big Brother: BB24 Live Feeds, Veto Meeting Monday - August 1

 

Bumper pool crowd

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Angsty Aardvarks:

  • Nothing earth-shattering to report
  • The biggest news was they all got together for Michael's birthday.
  • His birthday is the same day as Keesha's (BB10)
  • Remember that one?


  • They reenacted the birthday with Taylor having the "Anyone want cake" line.
  • They're still acting like the backup plan is to backdoor Taylor.
  • The feeds were blocked for the veto meeting today.
  • Daniel used the veto and saved Alyssa/Indy.
  • Taylor/Nicole are the renoms.
  • Daniel THINKS Taylor is the target.
  • He's wrong.


The big birthday party


That scooter needs to be evicted


At least they can all seem to have fun

Keep telling yourself it's them when it's you

Big Brother: BB24 HoH/Nominations Show Blog Party - July 31


 Good evening! Welcome to the blog that never ends ... or something like that. Tonight's show will air the HOH comp and nominations. We know in real time that the veto comp has already played out. However, since this is a show post, please remember not to comment any spoilers!

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

Previously On segment goes over all the alliances once again.

We pick up with the hamsters searching for the red invitation in the 1,500 envelopes that fell to earth in the backyard. As we know from the show end -- Jasmine, Terrance, Brittany and Monte have one.

We cut to after Ameerah walks out the door. Michael admits to Alyssa that he voted to evict her. Alyssa is in tears. Nicole looks like she's on the warpath. Indy too is stomping around.

Back to the backyard invitation search. Now Daniel joins in. with the winners, then Joseph. Now Nicole and the last one is Alyssa - in a foot race with Indy.

HOH Comp - When they hear the scream, they have to slide three goblets down wooden lanes for points, then hit their button. 

Alyssa 4
Nicole 9
Joseph 5
Daniel 4
Monte 11
Brittany 3
Terrance 4
Jasmine 5

MONTE is the new HOH!

The Leftovers are happy, Nicole not so much. She's on a mission to see why and how the votes flipped voting Ameerah out. She's even suspicious of her buddy Daniel.

It turns out that Joseph and Monte had told Terrance he's welcome to join them if that was part of the eviction Bestie twist. They figure if they go on the block, Terrance would be out and they would be safe.

Kyle thinks Alyssa would always favor Ameerah over him although they're close. Joseph thinks that Kyle is naive and needs to watch Alyssa. He tells him she has mentioned having a "person" outside the house. Kyle lets her know that he knew about the Ameerah ouster even though he didn't tell her.

Who wants to see my HOH room segment ... his letter is from his mother. A lot of Spanish in it. It ends with "no chicas." He cries in the Diary Room to us. Heh -- they wait out all the non-Leftovers and then do a silent victory dance. 

They talk about Nicole going. However, Taylor is her (fake) Bestie and really doesn't want to go on the block again. She suggests putting up someone who hasn't been on the block yet.

Alyssa tells Monte she wants to salvage his trust and work together. He tells her she isn't his target and Taylor remains her target. He hints he might put Indy/Alyssa up, then backdoor Taylor. He tells Indy the same story. She is very upset at the idea.

Monte talks to Taylor and tells her he doesn't want to target Nicole because he doesn't want to put her (Taylor) on the block again. He tells her that he would only backdoor Nicole if she is okay with it. He really wants to get Nicole out.

Nominations Ceremony time. Monte nominates Alyssa/Indy. He tells them they are not his target for this week and he hopes they win the veto. He tells us that if the veto is not used, Alyssa is the target and, if Taylor okays it, Nicole is his backdoor target.

Big Brother: BB24 Live Feeds Saturday, Power of Veto - July 30

 

Indy pleads her case to Monte

Here's another brief report from inside that Big Brother House of Leftover Loons:

  • The leftovers is still sticking together, for now.
  • I feel that Michael and Brittany will go their own way, perhaps not until after jury.
  • And, although Taylor was cause to bring them all together, I don't think she will be as vital to them when the numbers dwindle -- I can see Monte, Joseph, Kyle and Turner sticking together.
  • There will be difference, though.
  • The bullying aspect won't be there.
  • Unfortunately, Monte still has a blind eye when it comes to Daniel's issues.
  • Turner really wants Alyssa to go this week.
  • It is Alyssa and Indy on the block with Alyssa being the target if the veto doesn't save them.
  • The backup plan if the veto is used will be Nicole.
  • Nicole still thinks she has done/said absolutely nothing wrong. @@
  • Jasmine is STILL using that scooter. BB should take it away.
  • Trust me, she would come up with a new ailment for attention.
  • Playing veto are Besties Monte/Joseph/Terrance, nominees Alyssa/Indy and chosen Bestie team Daniel/Kyle.
  • The feeds are down for the comp.
  • I will wait it out.
  • DANIEL won the Power of Veto, something to do with watching videos.

Kyle wants Alyssa to back off

Her future's so bright ...


Seriously wants to force a kiss on Kyle


A delicate operation


Oh, geez ... look who won veto

Friday, July 29, 2022

Big Brother: BB24 Live Feeds Bulletin, Nominations - July 29

 

Could JOSEPH be nominated?

This report will be a bit abbreviated. The Leftovers remain an alliance and are still meeting up separately. Daniel has admitted his sympathy vote to keep Terrance but the others are pretty much trying to shift blame to cover their own voting block. Turner and Jasmine are the Have Nots.

Unfortunately, with Monte as HOH, it's unlikely that he will nominate his dear Daniel. And he doesn't. He nominated Alyssa and Indy, with the target being Alyssa. After seeing if Taylor would be okay with it, Nicole is the back up backdoor plan if POV is used. He is telling the others various excuses why he put them up -- they haven't been on the block yet, Jasmine recently fainted and her ankle, y'know ...


Or, could it be Daniel?

Big Brother: BB24 Live Eviction Show Blog Party - July 28

I will be live-blogging the show as it 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!

Julie is dressed all summery and tells us an unlikely group has gathered together and we might be in for an epic blindside. Oh, but then it went to "Previously on ..." Then Julie gives us the history of the Leftovers.

Time for the (taped) veto meeting. As expected, Michael/Brittany save themselves. Turner names Terrance/Ameerah as the renoms. He says they don't talk game. The one target the house had would not be best for my game and I'm not going to join the dogpile. I've heard people talk.

Turner tells us that the bullying of Taylor stops today. Ameerah is surprised she's on the block and wonder who Turner might have on his side to give him the nerve to do that. Nicole thinks Turner tried to turn the house upside-down. Indy cries and she's not even on the block.

Terrance tells his buddies he wants Ameerah to stay over him. Michael tells us that they're keeping him here, whether he likes it or not. Monte is acting like he's surprised to Ameerah.

Julie tells us that the Leftovers need to keep up on their acting skills if they want to blindside Ameerah. Nicole buys into it and is crying to Terrance because he won't be there anymore. Heh. Turner tells Terrance he will be there and not to tell anyone.

To the living room live --

Ameerah - Shout outs, time of her life, enjoy playing game, ally, keep me.

Terrance - Shout outs, HG you know I love you, Turner respect the move. What if?

The votes to evict:
Alyssa - Terrance
Indy - Terrance
Monte - Ameerah
Nicole - Terrance
Commercial break ...
Jasmine - Terrance
Brittany - Ameerah
Taylor - Ameerah
Kyle - Ameerah
Michael - Ameerah
Daniel - Ameerah (sympathy vote)
Joseph - Ameerah

By a vote of 7 to 4 Ameerah, you are evicted. Nicole and Alyssa with dropped open jaws. Ameerah a bit teary says, "You guys got me." Turner is trying to stifle a giggle as Nicole hangs on him. Ameerah tells Julie that she got voted out because she was such a threat. Julie tells Ameerah about the Leftovers. She looks confused and says she's shocked.

Julie has to tell Terrance what is going to happen now that his Bestie is gone. He can have more than one Bestie. He can choose which set of Besties he wants to join. He decides to join Monty/Joseph. Three will play veto, three can also be nominated but only one goes home.

The HOH comp is based on the upcoming movie, The Invitation. We get a clip. If you want to compete, you need to find an invitation -- 1500 envelopes will rain down, first eight to find a red invitation will compete, four will not.

The comp prequel to comp starts and then the show ends. I'll catch you up with what happens on the feeds. If it plays out on the live feeds, I'll make a post covering it.

Jasmine has an invitation. Terrance, Brittany ... then it cuts away.  


Big Brother: BB24 Live Feeds into Thursday Morning - July 28

 

Enjoy things while you can Girls Girls

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Giggly Geese:
  • The plan to blindside Ameerah is still on.
  • The Leftovers are lying to anyone outside their alliance and doing a good job at it.
  • Now Jasmine claims she broke a tooth (and swallowed a crown just before they entered the house). @@
  • She's reminding me of Raven BB19 with all her health complaints.
  • She had been reminding me of Christmas, also BB19, due to her injury. But at least Christmas had some spunk.
  • Terrance has been going around campaigning to each person for votes.
  • Nicole told him (in tears) that she was going to vote for Ameerah to stay and it looks like he will go home.
  • No one is committing to anything outside the Leftovers.
  • But then Terrance talked to Turner who hinted that he will be safe.
  • Ameerah is still sure she has the votes to stay.
  • Heh.
  • Tonight should be another interesting show.


She's Raven without the stomach disease
 ... so far.


She thinks she broke Terrance's heart.

He now knows he's safe

Taylor is thrilled to have allies!

I didn't like these two last week


Kyle's more into the game than into you,

Big Brother: BB24 Power of Veto Show Blog Party - July 27

 



Greetings! I hope all is well with everyone ... or at least as good as it gets!

Tonight's show is the Power of Veto show. Now, anyone watching or reading about the live feeds knows that A LOT went down and tonight's show should be very Interesting! Please, no live feeds spoilers on this show post! Wait until it airs on the show! Merci beaucoups!

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

Let's get through this Previously On and get on with the show!

We pick up at the end of the Nominations Ceremony. Right now, Turner is still out for revenge for Pooch. Brittany and Michael are on the block. Brittany is upset as Michael is her only ally in the house. Taylor wants to play in the veto to secure her own safety. Ameerah tries to convince Turner to backdoor Taylor if Michael/Brittany comes down.

Turner decides to talk with Nicole about possibly backdooring Taylor, her Festie Bestie. Nicole tells him she's on board for it. 

Taylor and Monte talk and get to know each other a bit more. He's been misled by Paloma. She talks to him and us about her darker skin tone and how it's affected her life.

Kyle, Joseph, Turner and Monte talk ... is there a girls' alliance? Oh my! Monte thinks getting Taylor out may help the girls' game more than his/the men. Joseph thinks either Ameerah or Nicole would be better for the backdoor. Kyle suggests Ameerah/Terrance and get Taylor on their side.

Time to pick players for the veto comp. One Festie Bestie will play with Turner/Jasmine and Michael/Brittany. Turner pulls one c ghip out. He draws Nicole/Taylor. Nicole thinks she will have to throw the comp so Taylor gets evicted. Turner had new news that the remaining Bestie isn't guaranteed safety next week -- what was part of why Nicole wanted to play. She tells Daniel and Turner she wants to throw the comp so that Taylor leaves.

Nicole goes into the bedroom, asks everyone else to leave, then cries under the blankets. The others wonder if she got bad news about her mother's health or what. She finally talks to Daniel -- she tells him she never had an issue with Taylor but he tells her Taylor is hurting his game. Neither of them see Taylor as "a good person." And, although she hasn't won any comps, she's a huge threat to their games.

Nicole thinks that Taylor was talking passive aggressively with her. Daniel gets defensive and aggressively verbally confronts Taylor. Taylor is shocked. Taylor goes to Daniel and blames her for "what she did to Paloma" and not to ever speak to Nicole like that ever again! Yikes! Ameerah thinks Daniel is not being fair.

Now Taylor cries to us from the Diary Room. Joseph feels bad and doesn't think Taylor has done anything to deserve the treatment from Nicole or Daniel.

Time for the veto comp! WoodStack, a take off Woodstock. They have helmets on. Each duo has to assemble their puzzle atop their tree. Kind of like a zipline type thing. Jasmine tells Turner she doesn't think she can do it. She "passes out" before the comp even starts.

The medic looked at her and she says she was cleared by the medic but her fear of heights and anxiety has her not participating. So, Turner has to sit out as well. It's only Michael/Brittany and Nicole/Taylor competing. It's very dependent on teamwork. After all, teamwork makes the dream work, y'know. Michael/Brittany WIN!

Michael and Joseph talk. Then Joseph talks to Brittany, then Monte talks to Taylor, getting their group larger and larger. Kyle thinks Taylor has been treated poorly and their group of seven can take control of the game. Monte says Ameerah has been instrumental in telling who should be voted out each week. "The bullying ends today."

And, thus ... the start of The Leftovers! 

They're saving the Veto Meeting for tomorrow's show.
