Yes, still an hour earlier than we're used to having the show. And, yes, it's not live once again. It was taped a few hours ago.
If you need a refresher as to which hamster you have in the blog pool, an update is available at this link.
I will be updating this entry with the major events 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!
Julie is quasi-casual tonight, wearing a red blouse and black slacks.
After the previously on segment, we once again have Julie explaining to us what has happened.
But, first ... no one is aware of the alliances existing in the house. She's got that right! I certainly can't keep them straight. It looks like we're going to have an extended period of Nicole A fruitlessly searching for support. Da'Vonne tells her that she made a personal vow to not vote out anyone who looks like her (Black). She says she isn't friends with David, but that is her reasoning. Hmm ...
Bayleigh thinks that Kaysar is being a bit over zealous as he tries to line up votes to keep Nicole A. Meanwhile, David turns down Da'Vonne's game advice. Will Da'Vonne and Bayleigh stick to the race or gender pull of the nominees?
Kaysar tells Nicole A that it looks like the vote is split. Nicole A is being totally unreasonable with Kaysar and Janelle. They are trying to keep her and she's acting like it's Janelle's fault she's on the block. It's Janelle's fault that Memphis not only nominated her, but failed to save her with the veto.
To the living room not live -- Julie comments on the house looking tense. She also wishes a happy birthday to Dani.
David - Grateful to be here. Nice words to Nicole. Want to be here, want to fight.
Nicole - Advertises her podcast, wants to play all stars, not all scared. Lights into Memphis. (Kind of bitter overall)
The votes to evict:
Tyler - Nicole A
Enzo - David
Christmas - Nicole A
Commercial break ...
Kevin - David
Janelle - Nicole A
Da'Vonne - Nicole A
Kaysar - Nicole A
Bayleigh - Nicole A
Cody - Nicole A
Ian - Nicole
Nicole F - Nicole
Dani - Nicole
Nicole A blew the game this season. She did it to herself. Hugs them all. After all, she loves them all. Julie tells her that Janelle cried over her. I do hope that sinks in. She played the game horribly this season.
HoH time - Mugshot, one at a time, slide mug down counter, land each mug on the highest scoring zone. three mugs, must lock in score.
Cody up first. 4 but one fell.
Enzo 8
David 6
Christmas 8 but not as fast as Enzo
Da'Vonne 7
Kevin 7
Ian Now in the lead
Nicole 9
Dani 4
Tyler 12 takes over lead
Bayleigh 7
Janelle 11
Kaysar does not beat 12
TYLER IS THE NEW HOH!
Julie said LIVE VOTE in the teaser for next week. I predict an endurance comp.
This week's Julie sign-off: If you have the choice between being right and being kind, always choose kind.
Hmm ... I prefer to kindly be right!
