BB23: Live Feeds into Sunday Morning - July 11

 

R-A-G-G-M-O-P-P Ragmop! Curls are back.


Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Scampering Squirrels:

  • As you surely know from my last brief update, Derek X won the Power of Veto.
  • What? You didn't read it? Shame on you! Pshaw!
  • Yes, he won it and Brent was immediately on him telling him that he needs to do whatever Frenchie wants to do with it.
  • Later on, believe it or not, Alyssa (on the block with Kyland and has to know that Frenchie wants Kyland saved) was giving Derek X the same advice.
  • She actually made more sense of it, telling him that if he didn't do what Frenchie wanted, he would no longer trust him. It's a way of building trust and protecting his own game.
  • Obviously she thinks whoever the replacement is will be the one evicted and the "bigger fish" as Frenchie puts it.
  • Hmm.
  • His original bigger fish was Christian who saved his own butt with his Wildcard Comp win on Friday.
  • Derek X then seemed to be his target.
  • Now Derek X has safety with the PoV win plus he had had a heart to heart talk similar to Brent's talk with Frenchie and gained favor before the comp.
  • The list of your large fish is shrinking almost by the day.
  • He's telling the guys he will be putting up a woman.
  • Hmm.
  • He's told Alyssa that he put her up because she lied to him about knowledge of alliances.
  • Then came Derek's talk with Frenchie.
  • Oh my. Frenchie was very passive aggressive about it all -- "I'd really like Kyland saved. But you won it. Do whatever you want with it. Of course, it would be nice if you save Kyland but it's your choice."
  • Okaaay.
  • He also told Derek X that Alyssa is now his target.
  • Hmm.
  • SarahBeth's father passed away of COVID last July. Sigh.
  • It seems like winning the PoV took a weight off of Derek's shoulders. All of a sudden he's a social butterfly where as before he was cordial but very quiet. He must have really been worried that he would be evicted.
  • Now, Derek F is very social. However, I notice that he's tight-lipped about game talk when it comes to things affecting his own game. That's a good move.
  • While Derek X was with him, Frenchie had Brent come in. He ignored his own teammate Azah who wanted to get in there to shower so he could talk to Brent.
  • He's not as much for either women or his own team than he is with the alpha boys, eh?
  • However, I still think that Derek X will save Kyland and it will be alpha boy Travis up and out.
  • But I wouldn't wager money on it. This HoH reign has been very unpredictable.
  • It sounds like BB has told them no smoking, not even in the yard, this year. Although I haven't heard him say anything about it, I've seen Frenchie putting on a nicotine patch. Then tonight Derek F was complaining that they let Evel Dick smoke and they won't let him although he was smoking in the yard the other day.
  • Late late night Whitney and Frenchie, mostly Frenchie, went around pranking sleeping hamsters putting shaving cream on their hands (and sometimes feet), then waking them up while hiding.
  • Oh, so darn funny.
  • Not really.
  • Today should be pretty much a day of rest and yard for them.
  • PoV meeting tomorrow and I would almost bet my bippy that Derek X will abide by Frenchie's wishes and save Kyland.
  • After all, that would be best for his game.

BB23: Live Feeds - Power of Veto Winner Bulletin - July 10


Why wait until Wednesday when you could know today? Yes, they played the Power of Veto Comp today and the show hasn't even aired the nominations yet!

Want to know who won the PoV?

Derek X is wearing some bling


Yes, Derek X won the comp. Brent is advising him to do whatever Frenchie wants without question.

Hmm ...


BB23: Live Feeds into Saturday Morning - July 10

 

Kyland and Claire


G'day, fellow voyeurs! Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother house of harried hamsters:

  • Now, I like Frenchie. I actually think Frenchie is liked by his fellow hamsters. But, man ... dude is putting too much into this first HOH of the season.
  • If they all do this, our heads will be constantly spinning all summer.
  • That's probably not good for our health.
  • He's still pushing for either Kyland to win the veto or, if won by someone else, Kyland to be saved.
  • He's still saying "bigger fish."
  • Dang it. I think he might need a bigger boat for all the baggage he's gathering right now.
  • In other news, a hamster I least expected it from cried. It was good cause, though. Xavier. It turns out that his brother died not long before Xavier got his key and he came into the house not even knowing the cause of death. If memory serves, he has ten siblings. So, it might be one not close in age or it might be one a year away. I'm not sure many were boys, either. But that has to be horrible. Some conversation going on in the house got him thinking about it and he broke down alone.
  • Derek F discovered him in that state and told him he's always there for him.
  • Sigh.
  • Derek F is not going to be a comp beast. Unless the comp is bench pressing, I think he's going to be the first out in many physical comps. That said, he's been cooking and really socializing well. He's making himself out to be no threat and very personable ... pretty much like he said he would.
  • Frenchie seems to seriously think Alyssa and Christian are/were about to be a showmance. Hmm. I thought Alyssa and Xavier had a flirtmance going on. Heck, they're in the Have Not Room all together!
  • Although semantics, I've been thinking back about Frenchie telling Tiffany and Whitney that he wouldn't nominate a woman. I believe his actual words were he didn't want to nominate one, not that he wouldn't. But he did.
  • He told Kyland that he put him up because he thinks the veto winner will have some sort of reward this week, extended safety or something. He wants someone strong up there playing for veto with him and someone he wants to win a reward.
  • Oh my.
  • I have no clue where he got that idea. He says from what Julie said. I think he's dead wrong. 
  • SarahBeth is covering her bases. She talked to Frenchie to make sure they were "good." She probably doesn't want to be a replacement nominee!
  • This morning the feeds had adoptable animals while they drew for PoV players.
  • In addition the Frenchie, Kyland and Alyssa, we have Travis, Tiffany and Derek X.
  • From what they said, Travis got picked as Houseguest's Choice. Well, he is a strong looking competitor. 
  • But would he really choose to save Alyssa if he wins it? Or would he go for Frenchie's request and save Kyland?
  • But then, who would go up as a replacement nominee?
  • Hmm.
  • They (Travis and Alyssa) also discussed convincing Derek X to save her if he wins.
  • Hmm.
  • Derek F is hosting the comp.
  • Among the many alliances of Frenchie and Company, a womens alliance is quietly coming along. Britini, Tiffany, Claire and Azah may eventually be a power group. Time will tell.
  • The PoV comp will be later today.
  • I'll let you know when I know as it won't be shown on the feeds. We'll be blocked and have to wait for them to come back on.

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.
