BB22: Power of Veto Show Blog Party - Aug. 12

 

Are you ready for the first All-Stars Power of Veto comp of the season? No? Um. Well. Tough. 

I'll be updating this entry with the major events as the show airs here on the East Coast. Refresh this page to get the latest news. As always, the real party is in the comments area. Come join in on the fun!

If you don't know who your hamster is in the blog pool, the list can be found at this post.

Grab your snacks -- I suggest bananas and other fruits -- and let's watch the show!

I'll just twiddle my thumbs through the "Previously on" segment and thank goodness there hasn't been a lot of previous! They're already pointing out old school/new school. Sigh.

If I had my way the phrase "at the end of the day" would become a misdemeanor crime.

Kevin tells us he needs to put his feelings in a box and fight to stay in the game. Cody tells us he wants to work with Kevin ... which, of course, means he wants Keesha out. He does try to pep talk Kevin a bit.

Janelle thinks, although she likes Keesha, that she and Kaysar need to lay low. I personally doubt those two could ever stay low enough to be off the radar. 

Keesha and Cody talk. Cody denies that she's his target and tells her she is just on the block because they hadn't talked much. Keesha knows she's the target. 

Kaysar talks to Da'vonne about how he's from Iraq and first appeared on the show when the US was at war with Iraq. He said he knew people were prejudging him. He tells us he doesn't want his son to grow up in a world like that. A big change from last year!

Tyler tells us he didn't want to jump into a bunch of alliances because that was his downfall last time. Sure enough, he jumps into a whole bunch of deals.

Enzo wants to work with Cody and be in a final two. Cody feels loyal to Nicole F, but more loyal to Enzo.

They haven't had the yard and miss it. Ian says he misses the hammock. Then he mentions that he's on the spectrum. When he was last on the show it bothered him that he did an online search of himself and saw all the comments about autism. So, we have two big conversations tonight -- race and autism. 

Back to game, Kevin is SO worried. He tries to campaign. He tries to get Enzo to promise to save him if he plays and wins veto. Enzo won't commit. He asks Ian if he would back him up in a Houseguest Choice. Ian doesn't commit. And on and on.

Veto player pick time. Cody randomly picks Tyler. Kevin gets HG Choice and goes for Enzo, Keesha gets Ian.

POV Comp time -- Fruits and vegetables with saddles on bananas, BB Peleton machine, 90 reps, stack fruits on back. Stack the most produce in the fastest time. 30 minutes deadline. Cody, then Ian timeout stacking over 90 seconds. Enzo enters his score of 18 with a few minutes left in the deadline. Kevin timed out with his 90 seconds of stacking.

ENZO wins the golden Power of Veto!

Ian tells us that he trusts Nicole F the most in the game -- he's known her for about five years and they're the only two winners in the house. They make a final two deal with a pinky swear. Nicole thinks of him as a back-up plan to Cody. Hmm.

Kevin is hoping Enzo will save him because he chose him to play. When he approaches Enzo, Enzo says he will have to talk to Cody. So now Kevin thinks he will have to do anything he can to convince Cody. Cody is reluctant as he would have to come up with yet another nominee. He isn't receptive but Kevin makes some promises. So, we get some false promises.

Bayleigh and Da'vonne decide to work together. Enzo catches Nicole F and Ian talking game and runs to report to Cody. He tries to tell Cody not to trust them. Cody already doesn't trust Ian, so Cody says that he might have Enzo use the veto and put Ian on the block. Or, so the editing tells us.

Time for the veto meeting! Enzo does NOT use the veto. Keesha and Kevin remain on the block.

BB22: Live Feeds into Wednesday Afternoon - Aug. 12

 

I guess it's winter in California

Did the booze delivery last night make things more interesting last night inside that Big Brother House of Alcohol Antics? Read on ...

• Well, it might have had they been given enough to affect them. Even with Kaysar and anyone else who don't drink, there really wasn't enough to do much at all.
• Six beers and two bottles of wine. 16 people. If two abstain, 14 people. Um. Okay.
• Last night they Have Nots could not only have alcohol, but they could eat real food once again.
• While we saw a lot of the cooking leading up to the feast, BB blocked the feeds while they were feeding. I don't recall them cutting out the feast like that before.
• In other news, Memphis is getting really heated about BB leaving the lights on while he tries to sleep.
• It does seem like the Have Nots will stay in their room until new Have Nots are named. That's the only way there are enough beds.
• And, of course, with no showmances (yay!) this season, people aren't into sharing beds!
• With the exception of Janelle, Kaysar and perhaps David, there seem to be little alliances popping up all over the house -- including Tyler once again over-promising to too many.
• Memphis wants a huge alliance which undoubtedly would crash and burn rather quickly.
• Ian is concerned because back in his own season, he always pretty much knew what was going on. This season, not so much.
• Keesha remains the main target.
• Cody even tried to talk Kaysar into voting her out. Now, Kaysar isn't committing to anyone about his vote. I believe he wants to keep Keesha as he thinks she will work better with him and Janelle. But if it's going to pretty much be one of those ridiculous house votes again, she won't be staying.
• Nicole A. thinks she and Kevin might align with Janelle, Kaysar and Ian.
• The only problem with that is that so many people have all these little side alliances going on. Even Da'vonne talked about regretting jumping into alliances so soon.
• When will they ever learn?
• Unless something drastic happens, the general consensus is that Keesha will go. She hasn't built relationships with many, nor does she really help out much with chores in the house.
• Memphis and David seem to be the cleaner dudes. All the others seem to pitch in with dishes and such.
• Laters!

Nice enough guy, but so not an "All Star"

Ian is being left out of the loop

Maybe it's not winter?

Yes, please do cover up your mouth!

BB22: Live Feeds into Tuesday Evening - August 11

 

Nicole A., make-up by Janelle

You don't know how much I'd love to tell you about how exciting and fascinating the feeds are the past few days. I just can't. We need a brouhaha. Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Watching Paint Dry:

• Nicole F. continues to cry on and off.
• Do you know how much she loves and misses Victor?
• While Kaysar has had long intelligent and thought-provoking talks with many, he doesn't seem to be gaining allies in the game.
• Janelle is a target for many just because she's Janelle and they know she can rock comps. Well, at least she could 15 years ago.
• I fear that if either Janelle or Kaysar don't win HOH this week, both will be on the block with Kaysar as the real target.
• Dani thinks Ian uses his autism to further himself in the game.
• I guess she thinks he can turn it on and off, huh?
• Cody is more full of himself than he was in his own season and he doesn't even have a married woman hanging all over him like he did then.
• It's still looking basically like a house vote to evict Keesha.
• I guess we'll see.
• They're all getting separately called into the Diary Room for their COVID tests as I get this posted. Fun! Yeah, right.
• Maybe something exciting will happen tonight!

Meow thinks he's cool

Incognito if she ever stops talking

I'm not worthy

BB22: Live Feeds into Monday Evening - 08/10

Monday, Monday ... so boring in the house. However, I'm sure you want to know the latest from inside that Big Brother House of All-Star Aardvarks:

• Well, Nicole A. is feeling better after being violently ill last night. Since it's only people on slop who have gotten sick, I think it must be the slop. Duh.
• It seems the same sheeple mentality we've seen the last several seasons is back in place in this one -- people are already talking about voting with the house.
• Ack.
• Janelle and Kaysar know they are huge targets and have been trying to get a group together.
• I just don't know how successful they will be.
• Enzo did NOT use the veto, so it's still Keesha and Kevin on the block.
• And it seems that Keesha is the "house target."
  
• I'd go into much more but I'm seriously beat tonight.
• My apologies.
• Oh. It's Kaysar's 40th birthday today.
• Woot woot

Memphis is not a fan of the cold

Hair of the dog?

Rehearsing his begging

He needs to be knocked down a peg or three

Reunited and it feels so good

What's been happening inside that Big Brother House of Malcontented Mice?

• As it was Sunday, it was basically a down time day for them -- no comps to do, no ceremonies and it's been a few seasons since they even had the photo booth on Sunday.
• But they did get the yard!
• And, who knows how long they had it and didn't notice.
• While we were busy watching the very delayed televised episode here on the East Coast last night, it was starting to get dark there.
• A group was gathered in the kitchen and Tyler happened to notice new lights in the yard through the sliding glass doors.
• He ran for the door and, sure enough, it opened. Heck they might have gone all day with access to the yard and not know it!
• Silly hamsters.
• In other news, Janelle and Kaysar remain the biggest targets for most of the others.
• Dani thinks that Ian is using his autism as an advantage in the game.
• Now, I like how she does in comps and her intuition in the game, but the mean girl remains the mean girl almost like the queen remains the queen.
• While my own personal favorite to watch players are Ian, Janelle and Kaysar, I'd have to say if I were IN the house instead of WATCHING them, those three would be my targets as well. 
• You wouldn't have a lick o' sense if you let them get so one of them is in the final two with you! 
• Enzo seems to be playing much better so far this season than he did in his own. I think he has more on the ball than Cody and is becoming a bit endearing and entertaining to the others. He keeps it up and that Jersey Meow may be a contendor.
• Nicole A. is the latest victim of the Have Not Ills -- rather violently ill from the slop and possibly the stress. It's high time they stopped that nasty stuff.
• I long for the return of food comps which used to play out live on the feeds and had them earning different foodstuffs. They could rid themselves of the slop and work the rest of Have Not in with some kind of food comp.
• All of a sudden I have a hankering for a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. What's up with that?
• Nicole F continues to alienate me as she worms her way in with Cody.
• As it stands, it still looks like Enzo will not use the veto in today's ceremony, leaving Keesha and Kevin on the block.
• Although Kevin, to me, has been the most problematic in the handling of this, it looks like it will be Keesha heading out the door.
• Kevin needs to stop crying. His lack of self-esteem makes Nicole A. look like a proud leader of troops in last season.
• But, I'm thinking that even if one leaves, they're not really gone this season. Julie mentioned extra rooms. That's rooms with an 's'. Plus, with all the work to get them there during the pandemic, it would probably best to just keep them. I expect some sort of comeback or battle back twist ahead.

I didn't come here just to go home

Not on anyone's radar

Oh! Oh! Yard seating space!

Life of luxury lies ahead
