BB22: Power of Veto Show Blog Party - August 19

 

Good evening! Are you ready for the second All-Stars Power of Veto comp of the season? No? Um. Well. Tough. Go rustle up some adult beverages and snacks and get back to us. 

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!

Previously on and on ...

We pick up after nominations. Memphis thinks Nicole A is "dangerous" because she can still play for safety next week. Both Nicole A and David are understandably upset because Memphis nominated them. 

Tyler thinks Memphis is lame and his old school game is outdated. He likes David and wants to work with him. Janelle tries to placate Nicole A -- she adores Nicole and thinks she's trustworthy and loyal. Nicole doesn't seem overly receptive. Kaysar and Janelle talk to Memphis. Again he talks of Nicole not trying for safety this week and thinks he might have been a bit "harsh" on David. Janelle thinks, since Memphis doesn't seem to care who goes home, thinks it's an opportunity for a backdoor. 

Janelle suggests Nicole F not realizing that said Nicole has been working her way in with Cody and Memphis and is part of their alliance.

David is trying to pep talk Nicole A because they're friends from last season. Nicole can only think that they have to compete against each other on the block.

A segment on times gone by and parenthood these days with the older hamsters. Nicole F thinks she was meant to be a Mom. Kevin and his husband want to try in vitro, adopt maybe if that doesn't work out.

Memphis reports to Cody and Nicole F about his conversations with Kaysar and Janelle. That makes Cody think they should be targeted. He wants a backdoor. Memphis isn't ready to do that just yet. Cody reports to Christmas and Tyler (their other alliance members) about Janelle and Kaysar naming alliance member names. He wants that backdoor regardless of Memphis.

Veto player pick time -- Memphis randomly draws Ian, Nicole A gets Tyler and David draws Nicole F.

The monitor in the living room announces 'BB All-Star Wars' for Ian's punishment. He has scenes playing Dirk Spacejammer that he needs to act out to audition. Ian has to please the director in his role and then perform all the roles himself.

Nicole F hasn't a clue why Janelle wants her backdoored. Tyler is wondering what's going on with Memphis that he won't target Janelle for a backdoor. If he (Tyler) wins veto, he plans to take David off the block and force a move. 

Enzo is hosting the veto comp. The yard is all lit up and it's midnight. Outlast the others -- stand in center of your star and hold your sphere on a disk. Last one standing sphere intact wins.

Nicole A is out first. Then Nicole F. Ian out. David screams to try to throw Memphis off. Oops. David out. Tyler out. MEMPHIS WINS THE POWER OF VETO!

Nicole A cries in the Diary Room. Kevin meets up with her and tries to console her. 

Meanwhile, Nicole F is still freaking out that Janelle or Kaysar might talk Memphis into backdooring her. Dani runs to Memphis telling him they'll come after her and him.

Cody thinks that Janelle should be backdoored and tells Memphis so. Memphis tells him of the two, he would prefer to backdoor Kaysar. 

Veto meeting time. Dirk Spacejammer performance interrupts. Memphis does NOT use the veto -- David and Nicole remain on the block.

Meow Meow needs a cat nap

What's happening inside the Big Brother House of Discombobulated Doofuses?

• The alliances are chaos and all over the place.
• Fan favorites Janelle and Kaysar are Public Enemy Numbers One and Two.
• Nicole A is on the block and the only two in the house who have tried to get her as an ally -- truthfully WANTING her as an ally -- are being trash talked by Nicole every chance she gets.
• As a matter of fact, Nicole wanted to call a house meeting to expose them.
• Huh?
• I honestly thought she had more game sense than that.
• We all know how productive house meetings are in the game!
• Heh.
• Tyler, perhaps as bored as we have been watching all of this drivel, passively encouraged her to hold the meeting.
• But then Dani shut it down and told Nicole it wasn't a good idea.
• As for Dani, I have no clue why she's on the Hate Janelle Train unless she thought she was just boarding the Crazy Train and went off the rails.
• Janelle is NOT her enemy!
• Sheesh.
• Then you have Memphis and Cody talking about what a dangerous player Kaysar is and how his gameplay is really troubling.
• Um.
• To be honest, Kaysar hasn't really said much game to them other than to offer to work with them.
• I'm so confused why these hamsters are playing the game like this! This is not normal!
• It seems that Nicole knows she'll be going home. Oh, wait ... she thinks she might have enough votes to stay. No. Going home.
• And, so on.

What am I doing in this handbasket?

Against the only two who want her

Sure, Nicole, call a house meeting

The legend is the enemy of all

Will there be the need for his vote?

What's going on inside that Big Brother House of Waffling Wombats?

• Actually, not a heck of a lot.
• That's all.
• Thank you for stopping by!
• Oh. You're still there.
• Well, let's see ...
• Janelle is still campaigning for votes to keep Nicole A.
• Nicole A. is still scheming against Janelle and Kaysar. She is reading people so wrong. I don't know what to say.
• Da'vonne tried to get Memphis to commit to voting to keep Nicole A in the case of a tiebreaker.
• Race is playing a part in all of this -- at least among the Black people in the cast. Bayleigh and Da'vonne are torn about the vote. In a way, they want to support David in a bit of solidarity. But then they also actually like Nicole A. In the end, they just might cancel each other's vote out. I don't know.
• Dani is continuing being a Mean Girl. Rats. I really did want to enjoy her on the season. 
• Da'vonne isn't playing a fantastic game. However, her insight into people seems to be back. She thinks Tyler is one to watch.
• Bayleigh continues with her yoga classes. Both she and Christmas really are good at leading the sessions.
• David went to Nicole to warn her she won't have the votes to stay. He told her he didn't want to get her hopes up.
• Hmm.
• While it's most likely that David will stay over Nicole, I don't think that was appropriate timing, nor quite the right person to bring her that news.
• It's only Monday. We know how things can change in the house.
• Plus, I think the warning should come from anybody else ... not the person who's on the block with her!
• We have two more days of this ahead ...

Outward facing dog. See! I'm learning!

Hammock at capacity!

Too bad she's sinking her own ship

Still out of his league

BB22: Live Feeds PoV Meeting Brief - August 17

 

Well, how do you think it went? Memphis is the HoH. Memphis nominated two people for eviction. Memphis won the PoV. Will he change his own nominations by using the veto to save one of them?

No.

Of course not.

Nicole A and David remain on the block.

Kaysar needs to slow down and think

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

• Yesterday brought about the reopening of the yard. In the daytime that tends to cut down game talk a bit as they all gather out there.
• Ian continued to do his "plays" at BB's beck and call. His audience has grown tired. Thankfully, Da'vonne and Bayleigh still try to show some support.
• Memphis is obviously not trying to win any friends here. He's become bullyish and showing his temper a bit much.
• That said, I don't think he's ready for any big moves as far as changing the nominations.
• While Memphis' gameplay doesn't surprise me, Dani's sure is.
• Now, I realize that she has always had that mean girl streak in her.
• But I thought she operated with common sense.
• Janelle told Dani she would never vote her out or nominate her. She TOLD her that.
• So, what does Dani do? She goes on a campaign bad-mouthing and scheming against Janelle to whomever will listen.
• Two people I thought problematic in their own seasons have really upped their gameplay -- Bayleigh and Christmas.
• Don't get me wrong -- Bayleigh's voice makes my ears hurt and Christmas talks way too much.
• Bayleigh and Da'vonne should make note not to isolate themselves too much. When they are out mingling in the house, they both seem to be working their way in with others.
• Christmas is being a hit with slop recipes and exercise routines.
• I like that Bayleigh is working with Janelle.
• Kaysar is tending to be too much too soon in his actual game talks with people. 
• Nicole A is just sad. So many of the others talked about how the PoV comp was almost made for her to lose. It was more of a man's comp requiring upper-body and arms strength.
• Huh. Sounds like it was made for Memphis!
• It seems that, if nominations are not changed, it's likely that Nicole A will go home over David.
• Part of that is her isolating herself and crying over the nomination.
• A bigger part seems to be that Memphis doesn't care for her and both Dani and Nicole F have been trash-talking about her all along. Both refused to do Nicole's podcast; Nicole F because she hates the co-host and Dani just because she couldn't be bothered. Both have been mocking her and laughed about ghosting her pre-season.
• Now, Janelle and Kaysar wanted to work with Nicole A. But Nicole would rather talk about nominating them.
• Poor choices, just like she made last season.
• The veto meeting will be sometime today.

Sure she's the one

Nominee chat time

I don't get Dani's gameplay

Have hammock, will lounge
