I mistakenly titled my last show post as "Veto" but then fixed it. I got myself all discombobulated between the triple eviction, the live feeds and the extended wait for the aired show. Tonight is the veto show. But you knew that.
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 -- please feel free to join in on the fun!
Sitting through the Previously On while twiddling my thumbs. It's hard to type while thumb-twiddling, though. I hope the segment is short.
Cody would have to put up someone he has a final two with if he has to replace one of his nominees -- Tyler or Christmas. So, we go into the traditional and tired Diary Room segments of each one telling us why they must win veto.
Cody would prefer Christmas go. Nicole had promised Dani that she would go after Christmas. Will she? Hmm. Enzo talks to Nicole. He throws the two nominees under the bus to her and plays up to Nicole.
Enzo plays dumb to Tyler in case he wins the veto. Enzo is actually thinking a bit more this season than he did in his previous season.
Christmas cries while talking to Cody saying she isn't taking it personally or emotionally. Right. He's not impressed although he's apologetic to her. He tells us she did it to herself.
Filler material with Tyler and Memphis talking about their fathers passing and mothers remarrying. Memphis says you don't really get it until you have a son. Tyler tells us that his father was a fan of the show and that was what drove him to be on the show. Emotional bit.
Christmas talks to her buddy Memphis. She doesn't want him to go on the block if she comes off the block. Or, if Tyler comes off, he will go up. Memphis reminds us of his final two with Cody and is sure he would be safe. We know Cody has final twos with Enzo, Nicole and Memphis.
Tyler lies to Enzo telling him that Cody wanted him targeted in the triple. He tells Enzo about the Committee. Of course, Enzo knows about the Committee. He thinks Tyler is desperate. Enzo is sure that Cody is his final two because they are the Root. He feels he can't trust Tyler.
Veto comp time. All compete because they're down to six. It's baseball themed with food included. They have to arrange photos in chronological order, hit button to lock in time. The crowd will cheer or boo. They have a max-out time of 25 minutes. Ten pictures of evicted houseguests are the photos. It's the food in their hands, accessories and clothes to determine the order.
Nicole is up first and seems to be having problems with it. Then it's Memphis. He seems to have a plan. Enzo is up. He feels safe. But he wants to win anyway to keep the nominations the same for Cody. He seems more confused than Nicole was.
Tyler is up. He starts out fast and very wrong. Then it's Cody. He is hustling. I'm surprised he knows what chronological means since he thinks a Texan is an animal. Christmas is up.
Times in minutes and seconds:
Christmas 12.04
Enzo 25.0
Tyler 25.0
Cody 4.57
Nicole 7.11
Memphis 8.16
Cody wins the Power of Veto!
Tyler is feeling down. He doesn't expect Cody to change the nominations. He and Enzo both timed out. Christmas doesn't think Cody will change the nominations but she wants to campaign to stay.
Enzo rants to Cody over Tyler. Tyler wasn't Cody's target but may have worked himself into the role. Silly boy doesn't realize how close Enzo and Cody are.
Tyler goes once again to Cody. He tells him that he's sure if he stays on the block, he will go home. He tells Cody that Memphis is ready to turn on him (Cody). He's scrambling. He tells Cody that Memphis would take Christmas to the final two. The problem is that Cody knows Tyler lied to Enzo about targeting him.
And, here we are ... time for the veto meeting. Cody does NOT use the veto. Tyler and Christmas remain on the block.
