Good evening. Due to some issues, I won't be able to live blog tonight's show. However, please feel free to update in comments as well as party!

BB22: Live Feeds into Sunday - Sept 6

 

Fluff and fold demo

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of At Least No Showmances to Endure:

• Yeah, there is that. At least we don't have to suffer through the soft porn of people who jump into the sack with someone they've known for a week.
• I hate that.
• As you know from my last post, Christmas won the POV.
• Apparently in the veto comp, Nicole traded the $5,000 to Da'Vonne because she wanted to be the record holder for the most costumes ever on BB - four of them.
• At least, that's the gist of what I got from their conversations. The comp was blocked to the live feeds and I'm picking up bits and pieces here and there as they talk.
• Anyway ... when Nicole got her Slopitard costume, after complaining about it being so bulky and the fact that she can only take it off to shower or sleep, she whined, "They like Janelle more than they like ME!"
  
• Well, duh.
• Yes, BB probably does and most (if not all) fans do, too.
• I mean, seriously ... how would BB even know that Nicole would end up in the Slopitard? SHE wanted a costume; she got one.
• As for Bayleigh's punishment task, some were complaining it was too easy. 
• She had to do 500 laps around an area in the yard on this three-wheeled sort of tricycle. 
• If she didn't do the 500 laps before Thursday, if I'm not mistaken, she would not be able to partake in either the HOH or Veto comps.
• That is, if she is still there to compete in them.
• At this point, that seems unlikely. But, later for that ...
• She didn't really have an easy time of the task -- one of the pedals broke and she just kept going with Da'Vonne helping distract her by staying and talking.
• She finished her task last night.
• No, it wasn't as bad as that one kicking a ball a few thousand times. But, you notice BB only did that once. It caused too much pain for Brittany Martinez in BB16.
• I wouldn't want to ride that trike with the broken pedal!
• Ian, who sat out the veto comp and tried to self-evict the night before after a rather heated talk with Bayleigh, is in the house. But he was mostly off the feeds and rather subdued when he was there.
• Kaysar's speech is having an effect. Unfortunately, I think that part of Ian's issues are that his name comes up as talking with Kaysar.
• Enzo and Cody will certainly stick together.
• Tyler will stick with them. But I think he and Cody are a bit leery of each other.
• Dani and Nicole might as well be chained at the hip. 
• They're both annoying me.
• Make them go away.
• David is once again invisible. I think he only comes out to almost win comps, then fade into the wallpaper until time for the next comp to lose.
• Memphis is actually playing one of the best lowkey shrewd games in the house.
• Heck, maybe the only lowkey shrewd game.
• Tyler tries to do that. But he has too much Bayleigh baggage going on.
• Kevin thinks he's good with just about everybody.
• Nah, I think most will just use him. They know his gameplay of running from one to another and whining when he's on the spot.
• Then there's Bayleigh and Da'Vonne on the block.
• Sigh. Yes, nominating both of them together will not fare well for Christmas once she leaves the house.
• While they -- Bay and Day -- are a very tight alliance and yes, they need to be split up in the name of gameplay, it won't go over well that the two Black women in the house are on the block together.
• I'm not really one to debate race issues or support much done purely for or against someone for the color of their skin, religion, etc.
• But their alliance was doomed from the start. 
• This cast, except for David and Nicole A, live in the BB alumni world. It was known that Bayleigh and Da'Vonne weren't friends before coming into the house this season but would most likely bond. 
• They are the only two Black women in the house.
• It's noticeable whenever they hang out together at all.
• It's not like they could have a secret alliance -- the type that works best.
• I'm thinking back to BB3 with the Danielle Reyes/Jason Guy alliance that was only blown up because the hamsters voting went home instead of to jury and saw the DR sessions. They kept apart and secret. If Bayleigh and Da'Vonne kept apart, it would be suspicious. No one really notices white people hanging out together so much in the house because there are so many more of them.
• Plus, while I think that all the women on the show this season have tempers, can get aggressive and such ... for some reason, if it's Bay or Day, it seems much more noticed than if it's Dani or Nicole.
• Gee, why is that?
• Either way, as losers tend to say ... it is what it is.
• Right now it's really looking like Bayleigh will be the one leaving. Tyler has been pushing for her to get out before jury because she's "too emotional of a player" to be voting for a winner.
• Well, it does seem he might have a bit of a point there. She has admitted to swaying the jury against voting him the winner of their season.
• Oh, well.

BB22: Live Feeds Update - Power of Veto - Sept. 5

 

Today was the big Power of Veto day. The players were Christmas, Bayleigh, Da'Vpnne, Ian, Nicole and Dani.

It was the one in which they each win something and can trade as they stay in longer.

Christmas won the Power of Veto. Now, of course, the weight of the world is on her shoulders for the nominations she chose to make.

Ian did not compete. Something is very wrong with him. He's been trying to self evict and was in the Diary Room for a long time before the comp. When the feeds came back after the comp, he is still in the house ... but did not compete in the PoV and no one took his place.

Da'Vonne won $5,000, Dani got a slop pass, Bayleigh has a task punishment, Nicole has the latest unitard.

BB22: Live Feeds Nominations - Sept. 4

 

Yes, the nominations are in. As expected from her earlier conversations with others, she went and put Bayleigh and Da'Vonne on the block.

Even before the nominations went down, Christmas gave Twitter some fodder for shades of racism. She was talking to Tyler then Nicole and said something along the lines of "What if she cuts me?" "What if I get stabbed with a fork?" "I'm so afraid and I don't spook easily."

Digging her social grave as I type ...

BB22: Live Feeds into Friday Afternoon - Sept. 4

 

I prefer the fish

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Sinking Ships:

• Once again the live feeds were blocked for hours after the live show ended here on the East Coast.
• Since they returned a bit after midnight here, I can only assume they decided to leave them down until after the show aired on the West Coast.
• You think they'd realize show fans on the West Coast watching the live feeds are aware of the internet and already know the outcome. Knock it off, BB. The feeds are down too much this season!
• I still prefer the adoptable animals over that one year they kept doing loops of BB Trivia. But still ...!
• While I'm on blocked feeds, I don't like the stars. I guess the fish are out because outside people often have to enter for maintenance of the tank. I loved the old old days of FOTH -- front of the house. Every now and then we'd see yard guy watering the plants! Chicken Coop Cam on BB1 was cool.
• But I digress. However, how do you like sitting here forever with no actual show happenings? See!
• It's all a mess.
• It sounds like Christmas wants to put Bayleigh and Da'Vonne on the block even though no one except Nicole really trusts Dani.
• I can just see Twitter now if she makes that move. I'm not saying anyone should be kept in the house because they're Black. But when you know all of what's happening in the world as I'm sure Christmas is aware, it's social media suicide to nominate the two for eviction. Why single out both women? Hmm.
• When the feeds first returned, Nicole was all in tears.
• Not an unusual state for her, mind you. Carry on.
• Cody wasn't in tears for sure. But he is so angry that, in the Kaysar speech, his name was there so much and with so many. Of course, Nicole's name was there, too. And, they were tied together by the wall shouter the other day.
• Ian is upset that all will be coming back to him.
• Kevin is confused.
• David is oblivious and not a part of anything really going on in the house.
• Enzo wants to stay out of the drama. "Yo, save that drama fo' yo mama!"
• Okay, he didn't say that. I made that up. But I think it's something he just might say!
• BB blocked the HoH room reveal once again.
• BB got them up at 8am their time.
• Then we ended up with several hours of blocked feeds again as they did the BB Basement comp.
• From what they're saying, it was dark and goopy. No one is admitting to winning any powers.
• It can't be Bayleigh as she locked herself in the bathroom stall with Da'Vonne and had an emotional breakdown.
• The others know she's breaking down. So now there's talk of she needs to go home for her sanity and can't handle the stress.
• Enzo and Dani were both talking about the stress and drama.
• Ian said it's too much.
• Tyler told Dani that Ian almost went to the Diary Room to DOR (self-evict) after Bayleigh lit into him.
• After the Basement, Mean Girl Dani was in tears and didn't know why she was dragged.
• Um, well. Seeds. That's all I can say.
• But Dani did win a power. Yet she cries and complains about it. She told Nicole she has the power to allow the HoH compete in the next HoH comp instead of sitting it out. It's good for three weeks.
• Heehee. 
• Oh my. I know I've been complaining about how boring they are. But I don't want them all crying and upset! 
• I just want a brouhaha or even just a kerfuffle, not psychological scars which may never heal.
• Nominations should be later tonight.
• ADDED: Christmas also won a power called the Blocker. It's good for three weeks. It can block the someone from being nominated as a renom. She has to enact it prior to the veto. 

Can we all go home now?

Does he have a power?

I can never understand her hair

Sequins? Really?

She needs to go, but won't
