BB23: Live Feeds into Friday Evening - July 9

 

Azah was low-key until she stirred the Frenchie pot

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Confusing Cats:

• If you didn't see the bulletin I posted earlier today -- Frenchie nominated Kyland and Alyssa.
• Yes, you heard me right.
• No, your reading skills have not failed.
• Kyland and Alyssa.
• Offhand, just judging from what I've seen on the feeds, I understand the Alyssa (even though he told Tiffany and Whitney he wouldn't nominate a woman). Alyssa really hasn't had much to do with Frenchie and has been hanging out mainly with the men who don't have much to do with him.
• But Kyland, one of Frenchie's many allies? What's up with that?
• Y'see, Frenchie's original target was Christian. But Christian won the Wildcard Comp and saved himself.
• So, you would think the next logical choices would be Derek X or Christian's bud Travis.
• Well, apparently Frenchie is determined to do some kind of early season backdoor.
• He wants Kyland to win the PoV, take himself off and then SOMEONE goes up and out. Travis?
• He told both Kyland and Alyssa that they are not his targets.
• Of course, if Alyssa wins PoV, that SOMEONE would still go up.
• Frenchie is so all over the place with his alliances and promises that I don't want to venture a name for the SOMEONE right now.
• Let's go back a bit. Similar how Brent saved his butt with Frenchie, Derek X did the same. Like Brent, he had a heart to heart talk with Frenchie and all is well between them.
• For now, at least.
• Now, this morning, Azah ... who has been playing fairly mellow ... told Derek F that Frenchie was playing for Twitter, the audience and not for himself. She pointed out how many times he's changed his targets.
• Of course, Derek F is one of Frenchie's main bros, what will he do with that information? Nothing so far.
• Meanwhile, Frenchie came out of the Diary Room and it looked like he had been crying.
• I think perhaps he realized he has confused Big Brother with The Fast and Furious and was told there are no do-overs.
• He told one of his groups (which includes Travis!) that he wants to go after Alyssa because she's so close with Christian.
• Xavier told him he didn't think so and that he could tell her to distance herself from him. (Mind you, Alyssa and Xavier seem fairly close.)
• After noms were made, he told Alyssa she was bait for "the big fish."
• Well there.
• Simple, right?
• Nope. We're talking about a discombobulated debacle afoot.
• Let's see how this plays out.

What? He's not nominated for eviction? You don't say!

Hannah just doesn't know. She rocks the argyle, though.

Whitney just doesn't know

Frenchie talking to his noms. They don't kill him.

BB told Christian he can't have the braids, so man-bun.

It's all fun and games until the fun goes away, Tiffany.

BB23: Live Feeds Bulletin - Nominations - July 9

 

The feeds were blocked for nominations. Hmm. Frenchie nominated Alyssa and Kyland. He's saying he wants and Kyland has to win the veto. He's also saying that Alyssa has an alliance with Christian and is, in fact, Christian's strongest ally. Oh. And that she lied to him about it. He claims that Kyland has to come off and he has "bigger fish to fry." 

Okaaay ...

Whitney has aligned with a unicorn

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Newbie Narwhals:

• As I mentioned in an update on my last report, Christian won the Wildcard Comp and has safety this week. He also chose Xavier to be safe for the week.
• Heck, Xavier was safe anyway.
• However, the fact that Christian is safe is probably throwing a wrench into the plans of Frenchie.
• They actually got a liquor delivery last night. Of course, it wasn't enough to really get them all bombed or anything near it.
• Despite the fact that Christian saved Xavier, Frenchie had a meeting with his "core five" -- Xavier, Derek F, Christian and Kyland. Hmm. I'm getting more confused by Frenchie as the time goes on.
• While I haven't seen Frenchie swear to a final two with anyone, his alliances are all over the place.
• Frenchie then went to the women with whom he had previously aligned and promised safety looking for a pawn to go up against Derek X?!?! 
• So, now the women feel betrayed.
• And what the heck about Travis?!?!
• It looks like he's planning to nominate Sarah and Derek X. Possibly with Travis as a backdoor plan?
• I dunno. Now it seems that the thought of Travis going is tossed out the window and getting Derek X out would be good for Travis.
• Say what?
• Sarah is called SarahBeth in the house. Why didn't they put the full name in all the promo stuff?
• I'm so confused!

Tiffany, the "old" person, is fitting in well

Derek X is still up worrying at past 4:30AM their time!

I'm liking Kyland more than I thought I would from his bio

Travis? Ah, not so much!

Britini is shocked she won over Frenchie

I just could not deal with feet in my face!

Christian's hair looks better confined to braids

Those Dereks should get out of the nomination chairs!

Things are still a bit new and chaotic in the habitrail. So, what's been happening in that Big Brother House of Terrifying Teams? Here ya go:

• None of them slept a heck of a lot last night. Chalk that up to excitement and nerves.
• Xavier was the first to go to bed, albeit around four in the morning their time. He was also the first to get up about three or four hours later.
• Most of them seem to still be used to East Coast time and they're early risers.
• All the rooms except for the Have Not Room seem to have been very warm.The Have Not Room is still upstairs near the HOH and has an entrance hallway with a door. But at least it's normal sized this season.
• Xavier made your basic slop with the recipe this morning. He says he wanted to see how it tastes before he thinks of things to add (like cinnamon and such).
• Frenchie might be working too hard to set up allies and an alliance.
• He already had a deal with Tiffany and Whitney.
• Today he was working on Xavier and Kyland.
• He keeps saying he doesn't like the huge alliance like Gr8ful.
• Although he hasn't said it, I think he was planning on possibly targeting Brent -- he says he wants to go after the alpha males and showmancers. 
• Those plans might be awry as he had a long talk with Brent and found out that Brent's father committed suicide and Brent is very family oriented.
• Frenchie ended up making a deal to keep Brent safe this week if Brent keeps him safe if he gets HOH.
• I just wish he'd put on a shirt.
• I'm still thinking Frenchie will probably nominate Christian and Travis.
• Travis would probably go over Christian as Christian has been mingling more.
• Although Frenchie mentioned "Slaughterhouse" to both Kyland and Xavier, he did not mention it to Brent.
• The Slaughterhouse alliance now has Frenchie, Whitney, Azah, Britini, Derek F, Tiffany, Kyland and possibly Xavier.
• There is also a Cook Out Alliance that has Tiffany, Xavier, Derek F and Azah.
• Already the alliances have kicked in despite the teams concept.
• So much for that!
• I personally would go for the word "Abattoir" which means slaughterhouse but sounds so much cooler.
• But Frenchie didn't ask me.
• As of now, all are still getting along very well.
• There have been no brouhahas, not even a kerfuffle.
• I'm a bit dismayed that Derek X wants to go for an alpha male team. He would do better mingling with the crowd more. Derek F thinks he's great.
• I find it refreshing that (so far) this season I'm not seeing the jealousy bit and cattiness among the women. If they can stick together, they could be formidable!
• Thankfully last night's LOUD HORRIBLE music loop with "turn it up" vocals has been replaced by the regular loud annoying theme loop. It's annoying but less so than the "turn it up" garbage.
• The feeds were blocked with adoptable animals apparently in relation to the Wildcard Comp Julie mentioned last night. Long time blocked!
• When they came back on, the backyard was open. Since they had been in quarantine then sequester, then house ... they ALL wanted outside time.
• Frenchie now seems to think Derek X is up to something, possibly throwing Christian under the bus? I don't see why that would matter so much to him (Frenchie) as he isn't too keen on Christian himself. He wants to talk to Derek X.
• Frenchie told Derek F and Tiffany that they need to decide on pawns. They decide Britini can indeed be trusted.
• Christian tried to get some sort of nomination inkling from Frenchie. Travis is nervousing a bit. Frenchie just mentions pawns.
• I guess they were told not to talk about the comp.
• I expect nominations tomorrow night.
• I predict but would not wager that it will be Travis and Christian.
• I guess we'll see.

UPDATE: It sounds like Christian won the Wildcard Comp and he's safe, also made Xavier safe this week. There goes what I think was Frenchie's plan. He definitely should be putting Travis up, maybe with Derek X or Brent as a pawn? Hmm. He did promise Brent he would be safe this week but didn't say he wouldn't be a pawn.

Frenchie tells Kyland of the Slaughterhouse plan

Put a shirt on, bro

Britini seems in with Azah ... interesting duo

Now Frenchie is talking working with Xavier ... hmm
