Here we are, finally at the penultimate show of the season. Wednesday night is the finale starting after The Amazing Race, 9pm - 11pm ET/PT. Out of the three left it would be nice if Cody won -- he was my blog pool pick and I've never won the pool on my own blog! I actually think he's played the best overall game of the three. I would also not be upset if Enzo won it all. He's been one of the few redeeming live feeds entertainment factors, especially as the number of people in the house dwindled. Then there's Nicole, my least favorite of the three. But, if she wins, more power to her. I don't really care. I just want it to be over.
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 update. As always, the real party is in the comments area. Please feel free to join in on the fun!
Julie does the intro and they act like it's live, but it ain't. We're into the Previously On segment. Part One will play out tonight. Ah, there is an early out hamster debate about the final three.
Day 83 and sure enough, they're acting like it's live. The first five evicted hamsters will be doing that debate.
Ten years ago Enzo came in third. His sense of humor is his strongest asset. He thinks teaming up with Cody and joining in multiple alliances have helped him this season. People trust him. People confided in him about others. He tells people what they want to hear. He won some comps so he wouldn't be called a floater. He hasn't been on the block all season. His only remaining alliance is his children.
Now we're onto Cody's story. When he played before he came in second, stayed loyal to his ally Derrick and brought him to the final two. Derrick won the season. Now this season, he's started alliances, many final twos and joined a large alliance. He gave 100% in every competition, winning many of them. Seven comp wins, more than anyone else in BB22. Made sure his social game was strong. Had to take shots at dangerous allies like Tyler and Memphis. Never was on the block. He never took a minute off playing the game. He says his loyalty to his ride or die cost him the big prize. If it's his choice, he will take the one he thinks he can win against.
Nicole won four years ago. Will she be the first ever two time winner? (As opposed to just being a two-timer.) She surrounded herself with stronger players -- Cody first, then Ian, then Dani and she joined The Committee. She used the strong players as a shield to protect her, let her allies take the shots for her. Takes credit for Janelle's eviction. Had to vote out Ian to keep her ally Tyler in. Was nominated by her ally Memphis in the triple. Then went on the block again. She says she was laying low, then started winning comps when she had to. Got Memphis out. She claims she did not "rob" Paul of the win on BB18.
Talking about the final three will be Keesha, Nicole A, Janelle, Kaysar and Bayleigh. It's a Zoom type meeting. None are surprised at the final three. Keesha thinks all of Cody's alliances might affect his chances if the jury is bitter. Nicole? Ride Cody's coattails. Nicole A says her non-threat game worked in the beginning. Best strategy? Cody. Kaysar thinks Enzo played a good game, wasn't even part of the big alliance but never was on the block. Most likable of the three of them. They think he has a chance.
Finally, it's time for Part One. It's spooky in the backyard. Zombies. The three are made up like Zombies. Hang on for afterlife. The last Zombie on their disk wins. BB ScaryGoRound. It's the comp in which they are on suspended disks spinning around and knocking into things while goop and rain is pelted at them. Enzo is the first eliminated.
Both Cody and Nicole are hanging on for dear life. The ropes are lowered resulting in Cody slamming into everything. Nicole is trying to avoid hitting things so hard. Cody is down! NICOLE wins Part One! She will automatically skip to Part Three. Enzo and Cody will compete in Part Two.
