BB22: Live Eviction Show Blog Party - Sept. 10

 

Good evening! I hope everyone is safe and well. 

Tonight we will see either Bayleigh or Da'Vonne sent home. I believe tonight's HoH comp is either endurance like a wall comp or just plain lengthy like a slip and slide. I think we'll see the start of it on the show, but most will take place after the live show ends here on the East Coast. I'm not sure if it will be shown on the live feeds as they have blocked so much and so weirdly this year. If it's on the live feeds, I'll create a separate post to cover the action.

You can check in on Lifeguard SueGee's blog pool update at this here linked post.

I will be updating this entry with the major happenings 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 join in on the fun! 

Previously on segment ... we don't talk about this!

Ohh, we will get a brouhaha and they promise the beginning of an "epic" endurance comp. It's Day 37.

But first ... a tense veto meeting leaves everyone looking for answers. Well, that's what she said. Christmas tells us that she will not let Tyler leave. Da'Vonne is not happy.

Bayleigh thinks Tyler tricked them when he volunteered to go up and out. Christmas is stuck on the untouchable bit. Bayleigh went and told her that Da'Vonne is her untouchable and that's how this all started although I think Christmas would have put them on the block anyway.

Bayleigh feels she got Day in this spot. She did. Day talks to Christmas and tells her that she has no reason to put Tyler up and that Bayleigh is the one who's after him. Christmas tells her that she is her ally and wants her in the house. Da'Vonne nods but tells us she's done with Christmas.

Tyler tells Da'Vonne that Christmas wouldn't let him go up and he will vote to keep her. Enzo tells David that he would prefer Bayleigh stay while David tells us the same.

Cody gets called to the Diary Room where he's told the news that his grandfather died via a letter. He died on Labor Day. Cody is in tears and the show is really sucky to exploit his pain, IMO.

Christmas goes on about Bayleigh being upset in front of Da'Vonne. Day tries to convince her that Bay feels hurt because she thought Christmas was a friend or ally. Christmas isn't really listening to anything Day says. After all, Christmas is the victim in all of this. Their voices are getting raised but only to a low kerfuffle level.

Uh-oh. Bay is told. Da'Vonne walks away and Bay comes in. Ian is stuck in the shower without a towel while this is going on in the bathroom. Day goes out in the yard and cries about she didn't want people to sit there and say that's what they expected of her to go angry.

Meanwhile, Bay and Christmas are at high Kerfuffle Level. Oh! Brouhaha! In each other's face. Day doesn't want to be portrayed as an angry ghetto Black girl and thinks she's blown her game. 

Christmas is livid and, of course, none of this is her fault.

To the living room --

Day -- Thank you, loves kid, BLM, lot of BB in her. Love Bay.

Bay -- Second Day, you're doing a good job, won't take it personal, love Day.

The votes to evict:

Dani - Bay

Ian - Bay

Cody - Bay

Enzo - Bay

To commercial ... 

Tyler - Bay

David - Bay

Memphis - Bay

Nicole - Bay

Kevin - Bay

Another unanimous vote and Bayleigh can escape the madness. She did so much better this season. She was expecting the exit tonight and left with grace, dignity and hugs for all. She handles the interview with Julie very well.

HoH comp start. It's a wall. Julie tells them the five evicted have been sent home and they're all on the jury. The wall is PowerTrip and it's a billboard setting. First three to fall off will be Have Nots. Julie says it will play out on the live feeds so I will get a separate post up to cover it.

BB22: Power of Veto Show Blog Party - Sept. 9

 

Who will win the Power of Veto? Can/will any of those whacko powers from the BB Basement come into play and throw a wrench into things? I guess we'll see!

I will be updating this entry with the major happenings 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 and on and on ...

We pick up on the action after the veto meeting adjourns. We're promised an unseen series of events. Hmm.

Christmas tells us she has to break up Bay/Day as they are a powerful duo. Bayleigh tells Da'Vonne that she wants to go home and Day needs to stay. But she cries to us about her broken heart. Da'Vonne seems a bit disappointed that Bayleigh seems ready to give up. They need to fght! Tears. Tears.

David tells us he won't be using his power to save one of them. He wants to save it in case he needs it. Maybe he is learning the game!

Now Christmas is crying. You know she is distraught that she had to make the nominations. She tells us that although Bayleigh thinks it's personal, it's not. They are not part of her alliance.

Day goes to Dani to try to squash the issues they have because someone has been saying they're targeting each other. Dani denies it but is upset that Tyler opened his mouth. She tells Nicole that Tyler needs to be backdoored. Nicole isn't really aboard with that because he is in one of her many alliances. Dani really wants him out and goes to Christmas. Christmas does not want to target him but thinks it will be a problem.

Veto player random draw time! Christmas draws Nicole F (like the F is needed now). Day gets Dani while Bay draws Ian.

Ian tells us he didn't want to play veto because he's unwell. He's barely slept in two days and his heart seems to be racing. He will talk to BB about it. Dani thinks if she wins the veto and saves Day, Day will like her and Tyler might go up.

Veto comp. David hosts. There's a track set up in the yard. Brain has to move as fast as your feet. They have to start when numbers added on a screen equal 13.Medics say Ian cannot compete. It's the Madcathalon -- with each one eliminated claiming a prize. Others later eliminated can swap the prizes.

Da'Vonne false start first, eliminated. Power of veto won.

Second race -- Bayleigh out. Fitness prize/slop pass. Trades for the veto.

Third race -- Dani out. Slopiard unitard -- trades for the slop pass

Fourth race -- Nicole out -- $5,000 -- trades for the costume Slopitard

Christmas wins! -- triathelete prize, 500 laps -- trades for the veto

So, Christmas wins the Power of Veto.

Ian is feeling better. Nicole is called to the Diary Room for her costume. It's huge and reminiscent of a giant cereal box.

Tyler is not feeling well. He's losing weight and feels pressured. He doesn't want to be stuck in jury. He feels very down and talks to Bay and Day. He tells us he feels it's his fault the house is against Bay and Day. He apologizes to them, tells them he's been struggling, he feels bad and wants to win but do it the right way. He wants to stand for something bigger. He tells them he wants to ask Christmas to use the veto and put him on the block, vote him out. His voice is cracking as he talks but he is wearing sunglasses so you can't see his eyes. 

He goes off to talk to Christmas. What he tells her is pretty much what he told them. She balks at the thought. He doesn't feel comfortable with either Bay or Day going home. He tells her they deserve to stay there more than he does. She balks.

She tells us she doesn't know what she will do. She is shocked at the idea of backdooring Tyler. She says to him -- I'll do what I want to do. 

Bayleigh is skeptical that Tyler is just saying he wants to do that for television. She tells Da'Vonne her concerns. They try to figure out votes for either of them to stay. Da'Vonne thinks they need to make sure Christmas knows they won't come after her if they stay. 

Christmas tells us that she doesn't want to lose Tyler to Bayleigh. Christmas tells Tyler that Bayleigh is after him. She thinks Bayleigh is a dangerous player. Now he tells us he might be having second thoughts. Christmas says it's her choice as she is HOH and PoV holder.

Veto meeting time. Christmas does NOT use the veto. Bayleigh and Da'Vonne remain on the block. Bayleigh wants her to share her "untouchable" and she refuses. NO. Tyler says since Bayleigh said she would go after him, he's glad he stayed.

BB22: Live Feeds into Wednesday Afternoon - Sept. 9

 

Schemin' demons

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Mean Meerkats:

• Wait ... I guess that's unduly cruel to meerkats.
• Things have calmed down in the Bay/Day/Christmas and sometimes Tyler drama.
• Tyler did not get involved in any of the shouting matches.
• His involvement stems from whether he's lying or not about not being able to volunteer to go on the block and go home to save both Bay and Day.
• I'm not sure.
• I actually think that Christmas has a more uncaring ability about her than does Tyler.
• However, Tyler has certainly proved that he doesn't really know when he should shut up when he's trying to befriend/ally with some folks.
• Bayleigh seems to be more accepting of the fact that it will be her leaving tomorrow night.
• No brouhahas.
• Cody got called into the Diary Room last night and was told that he grandfather died.
• Of course, just like dating back to 9/11 with Monica's (BB2) cousin missing and Frankie's grandfather, no phone call was allowed to talk to the family. They do seem to be given the choice to quit and go home in these circumstances. However, a monitored phone call would probably help mentally in such a situation.
• Once word got around about his grandfather, his fellow hamsters were consoling and willing to give him some time to grieve.
• It's too bad BB didn't feel the same way. They kept following him around with the cameras forever. Dang. Leave him alone for a bit. 
• In other news, both Memphis and Dani made disparaging remarks about Ian's autism and rocking.
• Insensitive jerkfaces!
• Adults shouldn't be mocking and laughing at people who are different. That's a third grade move.
• Trust me, I'd rather be stuck in a house with Ian over either Memphis or Dani.
• I've actually been surprised at how well Enzo is doing this season. His social game was decent in his original season, but it's nothing short of stunning this season. His comp win in his original season was just the OTEV veto. Now he seems to be on a streak. I doubt he'll win this season. But, compared to many others (Dani, Kevin, Memphis and more), I wouldn't feel let down.
• I think Enzo is playing the social game Tyler WANTS to play.
• That's all for now ...

Trying, but still out of his league

BB - Leave him be for a bit!

Can't erase that target

Insensitive jerkface 

Doesn't deserve to be mocked

BB22: Live Feeds into Tuesday Evening - Sept. 8

 

So ... this is the kind of thing I've been watching from inside the Big Brother House of Catastrophic Chaos. I thought the videos I found could explain it better than I can given mere text and still shots. Here's the latest:

• Things have calmed down.
• But this is not a happy house no matter if BB tries to get them all playing in group activities or whatever.
• Bayleigh really shouldn't go at Christmas like that. Christmas has an arrest record for domestic violence. Bayleigh, though she can get emotional, is really not a tough girl. Apparently Christmas is and she is in great physical shape.
• It's hard to say who's lying, who's just playing the game of BB or what.
• Tyler has SAID that BB wouldn't allow him to volunteer as a renom on the block if Christmas removed one of the nominees.
• He told Bayleigh and Da'Vonne he was volunteering to go on the block and go home in the spirit of their BLM devotion for having a Black female winner.
• So ... they thought he was such a good guy.
• Then he says that BB won't let him and Christmas keeps the nominations the same.
• Yet BB allowed Christmas to go up as a volunteer renom last week?
• It's a mess.
• Meanwhile, Bayleigh has admitted to tainting the jury against Tyler in their season.
• Now, Tyler has been saying (not to Bay or Day) that Bayleigh needs to go out before jury because she's an emotional player and would sway the jury.
• Hmm. I thought it was a standard rule of BB that jury was not allowed to discuss game.
• Ian and Bayleigh talked. He was honest with her and spoke in percentages. Right now he's favorable to keeping Da'Vonne 60/40. He said it could change. He also told her that he will let her know before the vote.
• This whole mess is sad. I look at Bayleigh -- yes, she is emotional (and definitely was a bitter juror). But I've seen her try so hard to control her emotions, mainly because she doesn't want to be portrayed or perpetuate the stereotype of an angry Black woman. I get it. But I see her as a young woman, more or less a kid really, who has lived a fairly sheltered life thrown into a very disturbing reality show house. To be honest, I probably wouldn't handle it any better than her. 
• Well, my voice isn't as annoyingly pitchy. There's that.
• Da'Vonne is also fairly young. But I think she's had more of a hardscrabble kind of life and had to grow up when she was still young. 
• Christmas is coming across as cold-hearted and sneaky. Plus she talks too much. Oh ... and has an arrest record for violence and really shouldn't be in the house.
• Tyler? I just don't know. I think he wants to be a good guy. He has been telling the others how mean he was to Bayleigh in that he was a smart-ass and smug with her.
• But I just don't know about the Diary Room thing.
• They apparently don't have the exit buzzer that they can just self-evict and walk out. I don't know if it's been gone for several seasons or just this one due to COVID.
• Anyway, it's all a spool of lies as far as I'm concerned!

BB planned group actvities

Tired of the drama

I am NOT ghetto. I AM upset.

The target is off of me now

Frantic hammocking

BB22: Live Feeds into Monday, Veto Meeting - Sept. 7

 

So ... where is her costume?

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Miserable Mice:

• Last night was yet another frustrating night not only in the house, but for a feeds watcher as well.
• It seems that any heavy duty strategy talk or even real cultural awareness talks get blocked to the live feeds.
• Did you know that nominees still give speeches during veto meetings? You wouldn't know it by either the feeds or the show.
• So ... I told you how Ian tried to self evict the other day.
• Now it seems to be Tyler trying to do so in another manner.
• Or is he?
• He was in tears talking to Bayleigh and said he wanted to go on the block and be sent home. He cried that he had set her up since the first day, planting seeds, talking trash about her and he doesn't want to be the one responsible for her going home. He wants the veto used to save her and he goes up and out.
• Hmm. 
• After he went upstairs to talk to Christmas about it, the feeds were blocked forever and when they came back, the talk was all over.
• Hmm.
• But then this morning, just a while ago, I caught Christmas telling him to let them think he was going home.
• So, he ain't going home. From what they were saying, if he did go home at this point, he would forfeit all pay. That's supposedly 40 grand. Plus he said he was threatened with having to pay for any incidentals like the COVID testing, etc.
• It seems Bayleigh is still the one who will be leaving.
• Nicole managed to break her costume and the box part of it had to go out for repair.
• The veto meeting just ended (blocked to the feeds, of course).
• Christmas did not use the veto -- Bayleight and Da'Vonne remain on the block.
• Bayleigh will be the target to go home.

He's a BB expert? Hmm.

Let them think you're going home, Tyler
