BB22: Power of Veto Blog Party - Sept. 15

 

Good evening! I hope most folks realize that the show is on tonight rather than its usual Wednesday night slot. If not, may they enjoy country music tomorrow night!

I'll 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 section -- please join in on the fun!

Previously on and all that comes with it ...

Okay, we're to the point when Dani nominated David and Kevin. Let's get to it!

Dani tells us of the two, she would prefer David go home. If one is saved with the veto, she MIGHT go after Tyler. He isn't feeling safe. David tells us he will be using his power.

Oh, yes! I forgot from last year -- David is the one who can fake cry real tears! He goes into his act and cries first to Da'Vonne. Cody and Memphis don't want Tyler to go up as any kind of replacement, neither does Enzo who thinks of Tyler as a shield. They know Dani wants to get Tyler out.

A female heckling voice pipes through the house calling them all to the dining room: "The Disruptor Power has been unleashed!" It's followed with an evil laugh.

David is saved and pretends he wasn't expecting it. Dani must name a renom immediately and puts Tyler on the block. Poor Dani. Heh. She's freaking out. Kevin is upset because he thinks Tyler will win veto.

Dani thinks she needs to convince Tyler she wants him to stay and put him up in a moment of panic. Tyler tells us he's not buying it. She thinks he can win the veto. Tyler brings up that Kevin might win the veto and then who will she replace him with?

David (foolishly) goes around the house to see who saved him. That makes no sense as you know that they all know he would be the only one to save himself. They are not fooled. I don't know why he's doing it. Da'Vonne tells us he's just being weird.

Christmas is Dani's chosen pawn if someone comes off the block. Christmas isn't happy as she too is in the alliance.

Nicole shunned her Slopitard.

Veto picks -- Dani got Da'Vonne, Tyler got Ian and Kevin got Enzo.

Dani tells Da'Vonne to please win the comp as she wants the nominations to stay the same. 

Veto comp -- Microbrews -- they have to take a teletransporter . The veto comp is being held in the living room. How odd is that?

They have to stack 15 microbrews into a pyramid using giant tweezers. The microbrews are tiny. The rest of the hamsters are watching them on the screen in the HoH room and Nicole is hosting.

DA'VONNE WINS THE POWER OF VETO! Her first win!

Dani hopes Day will keep her promise. Kevin hopes she will use it to save him. Tyler thinks he needs to rethink his strategy. Day tells us she promised Dani only because she's never won a comp and didn't think she'd win.

Kevin and Da'vonne talk. Should she save him with the veto? They are close. She goes to talk to Dani and tells her she's thinking of using the veto on Kevin because there's a "big ass" alliance in the house and she's not a part of it.

Dani goes to Christmas trying to decide what to do if the veto is used. Christmas says her only options are Ian or Enzo. She just cannot put up another member of the Committee alliance. Woe is her.

Dani tells Cody that her only option is Ian. She tells him that she wants Tyler out. He doesn't. 

She tells Nicole about Ian being the only option -- everyone else would be unhappy with her. Nicole, of course, has her own alliance with Ian and doesn't want him to go home. Or, actually to jury now.

Dani tries to put pressure on Day to not save Kevin. After all, she can do more for Day in the game than Kevin can. Also, showing her closeness with Kevin will be a detriment to her game. Sheesh.

Time for the veto meeting. Da'Vonne uses the veto to save Kevin. Dani, reluctantly, puts Ian up in his place. She tells them she needs the 'ultimate pawn" and she wants Tyler to go home this week. So, it's Ian and Tyler on the block.

BB22: Live Feeds into Monday Afternoon, PoV Meeting - Sept. 14

 

Sharing a 'do with Tyler today

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Terrible Turtles:

• Sigh, I try not to be the one whining.
• But, this year, the feeds blocks are much too much.
• Apparently there was another wall shouter yesterday evening.
• Those in the yard didn't hear it. Enzo even thought they called an indoor lockdown due to fires.
• I haven't heard them complaining of the smoke, but would think there has to be at least some smell in the air there.
• I found it interesting that one hamster (Cody?) said they have an armed guard on set.
• Oh my.
• Nonetheless, a wall shouter not heard by anyone, hamster or feeds watcher, does not or should not necessitate a shut down of the live feeds for hours and hours.
• They were down well into the night, almost to the dawn here on the East Coast.
• I'm disgusted with the live feeds coverage this season. Or, more accurately, the lack thereof. It's almost as if they're not pushing the feeds as they have done for years. 
• Anyway ... the POV meeting went down fairly early (for them) today.
• Da'Vonne used the veto to save Kevin. 
• Dani replaced Kevin with Ian.
• So, it's Ian and Tyler on the block -- two of the players I actually wanted to watch play the game this season.
• With Kevin on the block, it was likely that Tyler might be sent packing.
• He's already had a hissy fit claiming if he's sent to jury he's just going to leave and forfeit any monies.
• Hmm.
• Ian has also voiced that he wants to go home.
• Watching their talks since the veto meeting, it seems now it should be Ian leaving on Thursday.
• David told Da'Vonne that Ian acts like he and Kevin are dumb.
• No one really knows Ian's gameplay.
• He has no real close allies other than Nicole and Nicole is more attached to him than he to her.
• He is one of the two previous winners in this house of supposed all stars.
• It looks like Tyler is now out of the crosshairs and Ian is the target.
• Sigh.
• Unless things change, it will be Ian leaving.
• In a way, it might be best for him. He would be out of the house of stress where people are mocking him for his autism. He has voiced hope that Kaysar might get him a job. I can see Kaysar doing that if he can.
• But if he leaves, that would leave me with just a few I actually like to watch on the live feeds -- Da'Vonne and Enzo.
• Oh, well. 

Oh, Da'Vonne, what have you done?

Schemes more than he plays

Yo, Bayonne, what up?

See! It's Christmas hair!

BB22: HoH Finish and Nominations Show Blog Party - Sept. 13

 

It seems so long ago and far away. The gap between shows and the actual live in house happenings is never longer than it is when the live feeders already know who won HOH, who won POV, etc. when the show hasn't even finished the HoH comp! Please, no spoilers about things not shown on the show in the comments here! I will remove spoiler comments!

Also remember -- The show will air Tuesday at 8pm ET/PT this week instead of Wednesday. There is a music awards show scheduled for Wednesday.

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 feel free to join in on the fun!

Previously on is on. We pick up the action with the HoH comp in motion. Remember, the first three who fall will be this week's Have Nots.

We see Christmas apologize to Da'Vonne, who tells her that she will be safe if Da'Vonne wins HoH. Da'Vonne tells us the first opportunity, Christmas will be gone. We're seeing more Diary Room segments on how they want to win or not win. Dani says she doesn't want to win, just wants to outlast Tyler because she thinks he is coming after her.

Christmas is being annoying shouting out direction to the ones on the wall. Eep. Da'Vonne fell first.

Enzo is being typically Enzo, clowning around. David down. Ian down. So -- Da'Vonne, David and Ian are the Have Nots. Memphis dropped immediately once the Have Not slots were filled. 

Enzo is out. Kevin down. Tyler out in a flip dismount. Dani had been waiting him out. She tells us that she wanted to stay in a while longer so it wouldn't be obvious. Cody tells he doesn't want to win this one, let them get blood on their hands. Nicole, after making too many orgasm sounds, falls. Then Cody goes down.

DANI IS THE NEW HOH.

While she's excited about the letters from home and such that go with the HOH win, she really doesn't look forward to nominations. After all, she's pretty much aligned (although planting seeds behind backs) with just about everybody in the house. Da'Vonne wants to push the Tyler target. She talks to a confused David. He reminds up he has the Disruptor Power which allows him to take a nominee off the block. He hasn't told anyone.

Kevin is worried because, while he really likes Dani, he has no idea where her head is at game-wise. Da'Vonne suggests her putting Christmas up. Of course, Da'Vonne will be okay with anyone who is not Da'Vonne. Cody points out that the only two Dani doesn't have an alliance with are David and Kevin. She tells him that she thinks Tyler is coming after her. He doesn't think it's time to go for him yet.

Cody seems to want Tyler to stick around as a shield and bigger threat than he himself is in the game. So, he pushes Dani for the Kevin/David nominations and hope no one gets saved.

A pranking and Dani scaring Cody segment with Day abetting. Back to Kevin worrying as he talks to Dani. He thinks he's a bad representation of the LBGTQ Community because he acts too feminine. 

Tyler talks to Dani. He wants to smooth over the rough patch but would understand if she wants to put him up. He thinks it will weaken the alliance and not be a good game move at this time. Is she convinced? Hmm.

Dani talks to Nicole about going after Tyler. Nicole tries to talk her out of it because of the alliance. She thinks it's too soon. Then Kevin comes to visit her again. She tells him she's scared of the power, trusts him and he would be a pawn. She asks him how he would feel if she promised he'd be safe. He tells her that others might think of him as expendable and is worried about being a pawn. Dani tells us that "everyone" wants Kevin and David on the block.

She makes an agreement with Tyler that they won't go after the Committee and he amends it to not going after her until the final four.

Time for nominations. Dani first nominates Kevin, then David. She says she doesn't want to crush anyone's dreams but they don't really talk game with.

David tells us it's time to disrupt the house.

We won't see him use the power or the aftermath until the TUESDAY show.

 

BB22: Live Feeds into Saturday Afternoon, PoV Results - Sept. 12

 

Rather glum, don't you think?

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

• First, I need to mention something that went down last night after I last posted.
• Now, this happened off camera so I don't know whose version to believe.
• I've heard Memphis say before that production told him it was okay to intimidate people.
• David, rather foolishly as no one but himself would save himself, has denied that he used a power to remove himself from the block.
• Yes, if I were a fellow house hamster, I'd doubt his story, too.
• BUT ... supposedly Memphis came along and hit (whatever) David on the shoulder telling him to 'fess up and admit he had and used a power.
• In the retelling of the tale with Dani, Enzo, Cody present, Cody has him really hitting David hard and being very scary. Dani showed what Memphis told her he did as a friendly little shoulder tap and a gentle pleading voice to confess. Enzo says it was actually something in between.
• No matter what way, Memphis should not be allowed to intimidate people.
• Oh. And David is stupid not to just go ahead and admit it.
• Today's veto players are Dani, Tyler and Kevin (HOH and the two nominees) and the randomly selected players Da'Vonne, Ian and Enzo.
• Da'Vonne won the Power of Veto -- comp blocked to the live feeds, of course.
• I can't help but giggle a bit that Dani's HoH has turned into a bit of a feces-show!
• Heh.
• First, she nominated Kevin and David.
• David saved himself with his secret BB Basement power.
• So, Dani had to nominate a third person even before veto.
• Now, with Da'Vonne winning the PoV and being a tight ally of Kevin's, it's very likely she will use it to save him.
• I know that others will try to convince her that it will be Tyler leaving, not Kevin.
• But, will she take that chance with one of her few allies?
• I don't think so.
• If she saves Kevin, Dani's choices are limited. 
• She could put Christmas up (as a pawn?) but will she take a chance on a woman leaving?
• Or, she could put Ian up. If it's Ian and Tyler on the block, I could see Ian leaving.
• I don't want that to happen.
• Pretty much everyone else who's not already safe (David, Kevin if he's saved) is in her alliance.
• I would love for her to take the move and put Memphis up or Christmas. I'd rather either of them leave over Tyler or Ian.
• I suppose she could put up Enzo thinking Tyler would go.
• Heck, I'd rather Kevin leave over Tyler or Ian. But Da'Vonne will do whatever she feels is right with the veto. And, I believe that will be to save Kevin.
• The veto meeting isn't until Monday.
• What a quandary ...

I be cool. I used my power!

I WON MY FIRST VETO EVER!

They said I could intimidate people.

I should still be safe.

BB22: Live Feeds into Friday Evening, Nominations - Sept. 11

 

"It's time for someone with powers to flex them."

May we never forget the events of September 11, 2001.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Irreverent Idjits:

• As you know or should know from my last post, Dani won the HoH.
• Now, remember ... she always talks of making big moves. Will she do so?
• She also holds the BB Basement power that allows the HoH to play for HoH the next week when they usually have to sit out.
• She hasn't said anthing about that yet. I guess it gets invoked (if she uses it) on Thursday.
• Dani spent part of last night and most of today talking to each and every fellow hamster.
• She didn't tell them that she already knew what she wanted to do.
• Well, she told a few in her inner circle that she wanted to put up two pawns, then backdoor "someone" after veto.
• Kevin balked at the thought of once again being used as a pawn. He told Dani if he gets evicted she will lose his vote if she makes it to the end.
• To be honest, I don't see her making it to the end. But I see more that Kevin does. With all the feeds blocks, I don't see as much as I should see!
• So ... who is her secret backdoor target if a pawn comes down?
• Tyler.
• She feels she needs to backdoor him, striking before he can get her out.
• It seems that certain hamsters must have been talked to about mocking Ian because of his mannerisms due to his autism. Of course, it took a TMZ article to bring it about, but ...!
• While Nicole was definitely a part of the mocking and doesn't know she's losing sponsor contracts due to it, her alliances with both Ian and Dani will keep Ian out of even the pawn crosshairs this week.
• Dani ended up putting two more POC on the block this week. Yeah, supposedly as pawns to get a white boy out, but not the best move to make these days.
• Dani nominated Kevin and David.
• Since the yard opened up for them today -- it's usually closed from the Thursday night HOH until Sunday after the POV is set up and dismantled -- there is speculation over what tomorrow's POV will be.
• They think it might be the Hide and Go Seek comp in which they hide vetos inside the house then make a disaster of the house looking for them.
• In a rare non-blocked production mention Nicole told Ian she doesn't know if they can do that because usually each competitor goes in, hides their veto and they're followed by a production member who takes eacj veto and re-hides each one after the other competitors have come through. That keeps them from finding the veto while hiding theirs or hiding them in the same place.
• I did not know that.
• In other news, they have an ant attack going on in the kitchen.
• Oh, wait, that's not news.
• So ... we're going into confusion with an open yard and two pawns -- David and Kevin -- on the block.
• David has not invoked his power which could remove him from the block. As far as I understand it, he would have to do it at nominations ceremony. He didn't. I'm so confused.
• Maybe he thinks he's safe. Maybe he thinks he wasn't going on the block and didn't think he would be.
• Maybe he did use it and it won't be announced until before veto. 
• I just don't know.
• But what he doesn't know is that Dani has said if no one comes down, she would want David gone before Kevin went.

UPDATE: AFTER I POSTED THIS, DAVID'S POWER WAS INVOKED. HE IS NOW OFF THE BLOCK. DANI REPLACED HIM WITH TYLER.

TYLER AND KEVIN ARE THE NOMINEES.

I've seen her not wear it a lot

Not in danger with Dani

I will talk with all, then do my plan

Dani doesn't know Enzo is onto her

I'm expendable again?!?!

We all know she's safe this week

At least Dani wants men out!
