BB22: Power of Veto Show Blog Party - August 26

 


Good evening! I hope everyone is safe and well! Are you ready for the third 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 blah blah blah ...

I don't like the expression "my/our name(s) in their mouths." Just say they were talking about you. Otherwise I'll be picturing spitting up alphabet soup!

We pick up the action after nominations. Tyler tells us that Janelle and Kayser are the two biggest threats in the house. Well. Yeah. Probably.

Kayser tells us he's been on the block four times with Janelle in three seasons. He's never been on the block without Janelle.

So, we get into why each person absolutely needs to win the veto. Tyler feels content. Da'Vonne wants to talk him up so that her own place is secure and she's not going to be the next target. She asks Tyler who he would put up in either nominee is saved with the veto. She better cool it or it might be her!

Da'Vonne also talks up with Kaysar and Janelle. Now, I don't think they have all that much faith in her. But they'll take what they can get at this point as it seems the majority of the house is against them. Bayleigh has a better chance of getting in with them.

Dani and Nicole talk. Dani's strategy is to plant seeds all over the house. Yep. she's totally in it for herself this early in the game. She's willing to play anyone but not so willing to get played. Nicole, on the other hand, is very insecure. Yeah, can you imagine that?

We get a Janelle beauty program segment. Ian isn't into it.

Veto player picking time! Tyler randomly draws Cody. Kaysar draws Bayleigh. Janelle draws Memphis.

Dani pressures Bayleigh about not using the veto if she wins it. Meanwhile, Bayleigh tells us she'll make up her own mind. Kaysar and Janelle talk -- they're not too thrilled with the veto players except for Bayleigh.

Veto comp time! Cupcake trucks it is the Cupcake Class Championship. It's a head to head comp arrange cupcake puzzles.

Kaysar against Tyler
Cody against Bayleigh
Memphis against Janelle

Winners of the first round go on. Tyler wins round one, Kaysar out. Cody goes on, Bayleigh out. It's obvious to the others that Memphis is throwing the comp although he doesn't admit it. Memphis goes on, Janelle out.

Memphis and Cody have to square off as Tyler had the best previous time.  Cody wins so it's Cody versus Tyler. Cody wins the Power of Veto!

Although Memphis is a bit partial to Janelle, he's glad his alliance won the comp.  That way he's not put on the spot. However, Dani and Nicole have a bug in their bonnets thinking he was trying to throw it.

Aw, we get a touching Janelle and Kaysar segment. They both want to stay and are trying to think of a deal they could make to stay.

Enzo brings up the Memphis throwing the comp to Tyler. Now, Tyler, who didn't really trust him before, trusts Memphis less. Ohh ... editing cue that Memphis could be backdoored? Hmm.

Ah, I was just thinking that we haven't seen Christmas this episode. Now we see her. As the Plus One in the Safety Suite, she gets to mother a baby star pillow as if it's a real baby. BB gives all the cues. The baby star is demanding around the clock. Another baby is born, so she's up to two. And yet another and another. She gets ten total.

Janelle is pitching her campaign to Cody to use the veto on her. She will vote with him the next two weeks and work with him. Will Cody consider it?

Time for the veto meeting. Nope, nuh-uh. Cody, despite being interrupted by star babies, does not use the veto. Janelle and Kaysar remain on the block.





BB22: Live Feeds into Wednesday - August 26

 

Janelle will always be a BB legend

Yes, I skipped posting yesterday. To be honest, there wasn't that much happening in the house as far as new and exciting. There was no breaking news. For those who know me, I do have some health issues and they've been kicking in as of late. Plus, I anticipate an endurance comp tomorrow night and should reserve my strength and energy. How else will I win it? Oh, wait. I'm not in any of the comps. But anyway ...

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Evil Weevils:

  • Janelle is trying to campaign to stay. Kaysar is fine with that. She is not campaigning against him; she's just campaigning her own merits.
  • Both Kaysar and Janelle realize that the immediate target this week is her, with him probably being next.
  • They feel there are more worthy targets -- Nicole because all she does is whine and hang onto people, Kevin because he instigates and whines, Dani because she lies and instigates. 
  • Right now Dani is concentrating on Janelle in her lies and instigations. She knows Janelle would be loyal to her. So, once Janelle is gone ... what friend will she target next?
  • Then there's David. He still is not getting the grasp of the game.
  • He never should have been cast in this season.
  • Bayleigh and Da'Vonne had an interesting talk about David. On the live show, viewers got a little insight into the complexities of being Black even among Black folks when Da'Vonne talked about the darkness of her skin causing her to be taunted, etc. 
  • The talk concerning David had to do with upbringing. Y'see, some tried to get David together with Da'Vonne as they are both single. David is not meshing with her at all. Bayleigh thinks it's because David was brought up in a mostly white suburb of Atlanta and is "preppie." She thinks that Da'Vonne, brought up in a more urban and Black-populated area, may come across as intimidating to David. Bayleigh herself was brought up in a suburban environment and thinks David thinks of her as a Black white girl. She thinks it might be her voice.
  • I say it's not her voice. Sorry, Bayleigh ... but no one of any race, color or creed should have that voice. It's like chalk on a chalkboard. Someone done did you wrong there!
  • Now, I am white. But I live in a predominantly Black city. I actually totally understand what Bayleigh is saying -- I see things like that happening here. Being Black is much more complicated than many white people think!
  • Christmas is still talking too much but saying little of any consequence game-wise. She thinks she's in with everybody. But nobody really wants her for anything other than a number.
  • Enzo is having problems being a Have Not. He ate mostly catsup yesterday.
  • That saud, I think Enzo is playing much better than I thought he would. At least, so far. He's won two comps and basically gets along with everybody in the house.
  • One interesting point to ponder -- Janelle previously said on the live feeds that production told her she wouldn't be going home until mid-September at the earliest. Yet, both Keesha and Nicole have not been sequestered and are home (or at least free of BB). Hmm.
  • Oh, well. It still looks like most of the house consider Janelle the bigger threat and she will be evicted.
  • I guess we'll see.

Kaysar is always so intriguing!

While Kevin is so annoying!


I'd like to see Ian stay in it a long time


They can go sooner rather than later

BB22: Live Feeds, PoV Meeting - August 24

 

Tyler, what have you done?


Yet another rather brief update ... not all my fault. They've been a bit predictable!
  • Christmas is up to have to take care of nine crying star pillow babies. Daytime, middle of the night, whatever.
  • Da'Vonne is probably happy that Enzo did not give her the costume/punishment when she had asked for it.
  • Of course, Kaysar and Janelle will NOT campaign against each other.
  • However, the each will campaign for themselves as individuals.
  • Both know that the others are thinking Janelle the bigger target.
  • Kaysar has never been in the house without Janelle there -- he was evicted before her.
  • Some are trying to match up Da'Vonne and David, the only two singles in the house.
  • I really like that there hasn't been a showmance this season. I don't think this will really work out. 
  • The PoV Meeting went down.
  • As I guessed, Cody did NOT use the veto and Janelle/Kaysar remain on the block.
  • One, probably Janelle, will go home this week.

BB22: Nominations Show Blog Party - August 23

 


It's such a big mystery, right? Who will win Safety Suite? Who will Tyler nominate for eviction?

I'll 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. I hope to see you there!

Previously on segment. Hmm ... how many years have we had that same narrator on the show? 

We pick up on things just after Tyler won HoH. He thinks it's time to deal with Kaysar and Janelle because they had "my name in their mouths." David feels safe because he's in good with Tyler. Cody thinks Janelle and Kaysar have also had his 'name in their mouths." 

Cody comes up with a new alliance of the Slick Six, one that he doesn't take overly seriously. Dani, Tyler, Enzo, Cody, Bayleigh and Da'Vonne.

The Have Nots retire and select new ones. David - Enzo volunteers. Kaysar - Cody volunteers. Bayleigh volunteers. Nicole F nastily picks Janelle as she likes to talk about her. Janelle tells us that Nicole doesn't like to have confrontation and her nasally voice is getting on her nerves. Heh.

Kaysar and Janelle talk about how they always get everybody's attention. They think there's a possibility of Memphis saving one of them if he wins the Safety Suite ... then the other might win PoV. They are sure they will be nominated. Memphis tells us that saving one of them would put him in a bad place in the game -- he will throw the comp.

Enzo talks of having a bidet in the bathroom and we get into a little segment on Enzo's mishaps with it. Heehee.

More Janelle and Kaysar on being 40 years old and reuniting after being on the show 15 years ago. Such a good friendship even though they haven't kept close over the years.

Tyler thinks they're the most dangerous players to his own game. He also seems to think it would be what most the others want if he were to put them on the block.

Dani found Da'Vonne and Bayleigh talking with Janelle and Kaysar. So, she goes to Tyler as they are part of the Slick Six and apparently Da'Vonne simply must be working with Janelle and Kaysar.

The Safety Suite announces they can get passes. Enzo, Nicole, COdy, Memphis and Dani will play. Da'Vonne wants Enzo to win and choose her as his Plus One so she can wear a costume. Dani knows she wants the costume, but tells Tyler that Da'Vonne wins it because she's in with Janelle.  So now Tyler thinks she doesn't trust him.

The Safety has been locked inside the safety vault and their job is to steal it. Get safety sphere and cross the laser field to win. Nicole F is up first. The safety sphere is about the size of one of those chair balls. Memphis next. He sits on the ball sphere to waste time and throw it. Enzo next. He thinks the Meow Meow is like the Shundance Kid. Then Dani is up.

Nicole - 16.36
Memphis- missed it, they need to announce as I type!
Enzo Beat the other two
Dani good, but not as good as Enzo

Enzo chooses Christmas as his Plus One, so she is safe.

Da'Vonne thinks Enzo is trying to get Christmas into their group. Enzo tells us that he doesn't talk game with her, so he's trying to pull her in. Tyler thinks even more that Da'Vonne doesn't trust him because she didn't look at him. @@ I think she was in shock over the Plus One.

Kaysar goes to talk to Tyler. He pretty much knows he's going up. Tyler tells him that he hurt his feelings because he was talking about him. Tyler tells us he really likes Kaysar and might be able to work with him down the line. Then Janelle talks to Tyler. Tyler says just about the same thing he said to Kaysar. Janelle denies talking about him and said she talked about Nicole F. She thinks they could have worked together. Tyler tells her everyone is targeting her. 

Nominations ceremony time. Tyler nominates Kaysar, then Janelle. He tells them they tried to flip the votes both weeks and then tried to mess up his game.




BB22: Live Feeds into Sunday - August 23

 

The coolness that is Kaysar


Thank you for bearing with me as I continue to battle some kind of gastronomical thing. I think it's due to the slop. Oh. Wait. That's the hamsters unless I'm dissing my own culinary abilities! Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Jealous Jokers:
  • With Cody winning the power of veto, it seems the nominations will not change.
  • I think there would be a better shot of changing Tyler's nominations had Tyler won the PoV!
  • It's refreshing to watch the good friendship between Kaysar and Janelle. Unlike so many others in the game (this season and past), they share a complete honesty about their lives and game strategies. It's like there is nothing they cannot discuss and yet it's in no way any kind of showmance.
  • Janelle is pretty certain that she will be the one going home this week and wants Kaysar to continue to fight for the win.
  • Kaysar can't understand why -- in this season and their previous ones -- others seem to want Janelle out so badly and take an automatic dislike/distrust to her.
  • Kaysar thinks it's because she's such a strong woman -- something he admires about her, but others fear. He thinks she's much stronger than himself.
  • Both blame Kevin's involvement for the "brainwashing" of Nicole A. Janelle said of Kevin's brainwashing of Nicole regarding her -- "I'm not here to do diabolical damage to someone's brain."
  • Both still like Nicole A as a person but feel trying to save her ruined their own games.
  • They were talking with Bayleigh about it and she too thinks Kevin set all of Nicole's distrust of J/K in motion.
  • All three would love to see Kevin on the block and out.
  • Meanwhile, both Kayser and Janelle think that Tyler is a nice guy and playing the game well ... even though he put them on the block.
  • Kaysar and Janelle both cringed and laughed when they decided that Tyler was probably in the fourth grade when they first competed on BB6.
  • Enzo (two years older than Janelle and Kaysar) had his own moment of age cringing when he, in front of Cody and Tyler, declared himself the "Shundance Kid." He was referencing the movie The Sundance Kid and the fact that he was once on the block in costume and didn't get evicted. 
  • He had to explain the movie reference to both of then and they were still confused.
  • Then one, I think it was Cody, piped up with, "With Robert Redman?"
  • Oy.
  • In other news, the punishment that Christmas got from being the Plus One in the Safety Suite is "caring" for a baby star pillow with a happy face on it -- feeding it, burping it, taking it around in a stroller and generally mothering it.
  • @@
  • Sure, now we get to listen to her never-ending talking in baby talk.
  • So ... who are my likes and dislikes so far in the season? Hmm. I will always like Janelle and Kaysar, but I actually like Kaysar over Janelle. I really still like Ian even with his mustache. Don't hate me, but I do like Tyler even though he nominated my two favorites in the house. Bayleigh, except for her voice, is working her way up my like ladder. My liking runs hot/cold with Da'Vonne a bit. I think Enzo is actually playing the game pretty well and sometimes can be entertaining.
  • I do NOT like the way they're acting or how they're playing -- Dani (who I did like in previous seasons), Nicole F, Kevin and Memphis. 
  • I have to cheer on Cody as he's my blog pool match-up pick. Thanks a lot, SueGee.
  • David just seems very expendable. Nice enough guy, shouldn't be on this season of All-Stars.
  • Sundays are usually one of the doldrum days in the house with the yard open, no meetings, comps or ceremonies to be had.
  • Tomorrow will be the PoV ceremony. I don't expect Cody to save either Janelle or Kaysar.
  • Right now, it looks like Janelle would be the one leaving Thursday. If so, that would be the third woman out of the house and no men. It's like the season is setting up for a white Alpha Man win.
  • Again.
  • Sigh.
