BBOTT: HoH Comp - into Thursday, November 3

Has she a reason to smile?

Nah. She didn't win HoH this time 'round.

• The comp was a face morph one. While they expected it, they all didn't think it would come so soon.
• In this face morph, it was only a mix of two faces for each picture.
• Yet, it was quite the challenge ... more for some than for others.
• Kryssie, in tears, timed out when the time limit was still 30 minutes.
• Shelby rocked the comp, coming up with a 3.42 minute time to beat by the remaining players.
• Jason was so lost in the comp that he couldn't even find his own face parts in there!
• But it was Justin who totally screwed up. The way he was hopping around and correctly naming a face to each picture, he then ...
• ... kept going for the buzzer.
• He didn't listen to the instructions! It's a morph! Two slots, two names! 
• Watching the reaction of those waiting inside the house was just about as priceless as watching him keep thinking he was right with one name under each picture.
• Silly boy.
• Even his allies all had to laugh.
• But he wasn't laughing after the comp.
• Y'see, while Justin is popular in the house, there's one person he claims he hates and she hates him.
• Yep, that would be Shelby.
• I personally have been liking the sides changing power changing in the house. So, a Shelby win is okay with me.
• But, who will she nominate?
• She was angry and suspicious when Whitney was taken off the block the other day. She's sure Whitney flipped and made a deal with Danielle.
• (And, Whitney did make a deal with Danielle.)
• And ... Shelby doesn't care for Justin. 
• Hmm.
• Whitney and Justin are still tight. But I think any of the other girls on that side would just as soon Justin might go. None of them want to be with him in the final three and they're thinking game.
• Shelby made note that Whitney didn't hug her when she was officially pronounced HoH. Not a good move for Whitney there.
• Meanwhile, especially after last week's care package, Shelby wants to see what the care package is and to whom it goes before she makes any big decisions.
• It should probably go for granted that Morgan and Alex will NOT be nominated this week. Anyone else is fair game, methinks.
• Justin is sure it will be him.
• And, it very well could be. 

Oh my!

The time to beat ended up being 3.42

Now, that is scary!

Thankfully all didn't take the 30 minutes each!

Justin! Two names! Morph! Combination!

What the hell is Justin doing?

Who wants to see my HoH room?

BBOTT: Weekly Show and Live Eviction - November 2

I'm putting up this post so anyone who wishes to do so can comment on the weekly show. I'm not going to live blog the show as we've already discussed all that happens. As it is with this online BB version, I will post about the HoH comp in the morning. Midnight starts for it are too late for East Coast people!

I will step back in for the live eviction, though. I've been swamped at work for several weeks and now have been sick since Monday. Danielle saved Whitney and put Morgan in her place. Shelby can/will negate the votes of three people. It's Shelby, Morgan and Scott on the block. Scott is acting like a Dead Man Walking ... and he most likely is.

Ah, not quite 11pm here and they've started their save me speeches. Gee, surprise -- Shelby prevented Justin, Kryssie and Jason from voting. Who woulda thunk that, huh? 

The votes to evict:
Alex - Scott
Whitney - Scott

Dead Man Walking is outta there! America also voted to evict him. What a shocker!

Survivor: Millennials vs. Gen-X Blog Party - November 2

As Survivor airs here on the East Coast, I'll be live-blogging with the major events.  As always, the real party is in the comments area. Please feel free to join in on the fun! Later on tonight, I will have a post for the BBOTT show/live eviction. 

Here are the blog pool match updates from the Lovely Lifeguard Laurie:

Vanua - Orange 
Chris Hammons - Cheryl in NC, Jennasmom, Lanell from TN 
David Wright - Buzzmaam, MikesGirl, Sharon C 
Michelle Shubert - Ed in Ohio, Nickelpeed 
Zeke Smith - Beachmom, monty924 , Glenn

Takali - Purple 
Adam Klein - Brian, Kelsey NY, Sharon N
Jessica Lewis - Cupcake, Jean, Petals 
Ken McNickle - Dolores in Hollywood, Margo, Russ 
Taylor Lee Stocker - Donna in FL, Janice from GA, Stephanie in Baltimore

Ikabula - Green 
Bret LaBelle - Brandi Peralta, Judi Sweeney, Skyriverblue 
Hannah Shapiro - David, meb, Terry is a Texan 
Jay Starrett - Becky, Jackie, Shayne 
Michaela Bradshaw - Donna in NY, Krysta G, Pinky 
Sunday Burquest - Brenda, Kristen from Ohio, SueGee 
Will Wahl - Cheryl, Indiana Jane

OUT 
x Rachel Ako 
Mari Takahashi - cwcamper, Marthalight 
Paul Wachter - ChickMc, PDX Granny 
Lucy Huang - Delee, ML 
CeCe Taylor - Anonymouse, Merrilee
Figgy Figueroa - Donna in Alabama, Laurie 

Fourteen are left. Who will be voted out tonight? Survivor fans ready? Let's go!

Oh, geez. Taylor's world is grey without Figgy. While Adam thinks he made the right choice in voting her out, Taylor promises revenge.

On Vanua, David works on his trust with Zeke, tells him about finding the second idol. Zeke takes the trust seriously ... for the time being.

Time for the Reward Challenge! Work together to unwind, release three balls, push them through a tunnel, place all three on a perch. The prize is a chef cooking for them. Second, kebabs.  

Vanua wins first place! Ikabula gets second place!

On Takali, Ken and Jessica are sizing up which is best for their own strategy -- Adam or Taylor. They think Taylor might be more honest.

On Ikabula, Michaela, worried about showing how strong she is in comps, works on her social game. Hannah thinks Bret is lying about being a funeral director. (He's a cop.) Hannah thinks he's a cop. She has her fellow Millennials also wondering.

Immunity Challenge time! Throwing coconuts into a net, flag with numbers drop, retrieve key with combination from flag numbers, sandbags, target. 

Takali wins Immunity! Vanua takes the second Immunity! It will be the first tribal for Ikabula.

Bret and Sunday are sure that one will go because there are four Millennials against them. The Millennials plan to split the vote in case of an idol. On the second vote they all vote Bret. Meanwhile, Jay is realizing how big a threat Michaela is in the game and works his buddies to vote her out. But it might not happen. Hmm.

The tally:
Bret, Bret, Michaela, Michaela, Michaela, Michaela

She lit into Jay. Hannah goes all panicky.  

I'm sorry to see Michaela go. She is one of the strongest most consistent players this season. 

The merge is next week. 

BBOTT: America's Nom, PoV and Halloween - Monday, October 31

OMG! It RAINED outside!

They're the first hamsters in the BB house for Halloween. The least BB could have done is give one of them a hamster costume! Sheesh.

• America's nomination came through. Surprise, surprise ... it's Scott.
• (Not a surprise, not at all.)
• The real horror story of the day is that it rained overnight and all the stuff in the yard got WET.
• Horrors!
• The veto comp had them going through the house one by one looking for dead Clementine's belongings (or something like that). Thrills and chills abound.
• Danielle won the Power of Veto.
• It's kind of doubtful she'll use it. Shelby can negate three votes. It's more likely than not that Scott will leave.
• What a shame.
• Ha.
• In other news, Jason is out of cigarettes. BB gave him nicotine patches.
• But it's not the same.

Spooky veto comp

Body language

Studies package for 20 minutes

Then does this

BBOTT: Nominations and Stuff - into October 31

Needs to stop chewing her lips

The hamsters are all excited about being the first ones to be in the BB house over Halloween. Of course, today is also the reveal of America's nominee and the veto comp. 

• In the Safety Ceremony last night, Danielle made Scott, Morgan and Alex safe.
• So, as I surmised in my last update, the nominees are Shelby and Whitney.
• Shelby has her America's Care Package, but what good will it do her now?
• Well, if America puts Kryssie on the block, her side knows to vote that way and she could negate three of the Late Night Jamboree votes. 
• And, if America nominates Scott, he should go barring a veto win.
• Of the two known nominees, it's more likely Whitney would stay over Shelby.
• Shelby has rubbed more the wrong way at times while Whitney cruises through not offending anyone and being as sweet as pie.
• Shelby said that she definitely will cancel Kryssie's and Justin's votes She's not sure of the third. But, of that bunch, the only vote she'd let go through is Jason's.
• Hmm.
• Jason was the main Shelby "attacker" just a bit ago.
• Nothing will be settled until America's nomination is announced later today. 

Pumpkin pal

Now she's got Whitney doing it

Not a jamboree
