Told Derek X not to use the veto to save her

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Turning Tides:

• Unless he's lying again, Frenchie has accepted the fact that he will most likely, almost positively, be the one going home this week.
• He's walking around saying he won't mope, he wants to just have fun this last week and he doesn't want to talk game.
• But then he'll turn around and talk game a bit.
• But his demeanor seems to have changed.
• Maybe he is really realizing he totally blew his whole game.
• Er, no. He still thinks it was "them."
• At least he told Britini that it's him not her at fault for her being on the block.
• Britini told Derek X not to use the veto to save her as that would put someone else from her team (or a friend?) up on the block.
• Everyone has assured her that she will stay and that they all want Frenchie out.
• It does bother me that Britini said that if the vote isn't unanimous for Frenchie to go, she will know who wants her out.
• GEEZ.
• I wish unanimous votes could be forbidden! Even in the case of Frenchie. Now, as much as they want him out, it should be understood if, for example, Derek F wants to throw him a vote.
• What is the big deal?
• Haven't they realized after all these years that if there are a few stray votes in a house vote that someone is just messing with them?
• Silly hamsters.
• They got the yard.
• Not much else is happening.
• While it seems Frenchie is now accepting his fate, Thursday is a long time away.

Not surprising he reminds them of 'Jersey Shore'

She has BB savvy, he can win comps -- Dynamic Duo!

Funky funky Kyland (actually headgear due to POV)

Brent needs to go before Christian

Has he really accepted that he will be going home?

BB23: Live Feeds Saturday and POV - July 17

 

Yes, Frenchie gives me a headache, too.

This one is going to be a bit brief but lots of pretty pictures! Here's what's been happening inside that Big Brother House of Loathsome Lies:

• Frenchie may not be HOH any longer, but now he has new lies and promises.
• First, he just KNOWS America will save both him and Britini.
• @@
• He told Britini that if he wins POV, he will save her with it. He promised.
• He said he's ready to go home.
• He said he wants to be back with his family.
• He said Britini should stay over him as she was on the block because of him. (That last part is true.)
• He guilt-tripped people not Britini saying that all he was going to do with the winning money was donate it to a school anyway.
• He said that he's done everything he wanted to do in the game anyway -- played PoV, won HOH, nominated people, been on the block, etc. Let me go home, he says.
• Oh, wait.
• He then decided he needs to stay until the fifth eviction.
• After all, he can save their game.
• "Hallelujah! Praise be The Frenchie. We are saved! We are saved! All hail our hero!" -- they cried.
• Heh. I made up that last one. 
• I just hope that Britini isn't foolish enough to hand him the veto (if she wins it) so he can save her with it. She said she would do that. Eep.
• If that goes down, we have a new level of ridiculousness!
• Dan Gheesling had a mist. He misted people.
• Frenchie has a brain fog. He brain fogs people.
• The veto players are: Kyland, Frenchie, Britini, Alyssa, Derek X, Claire with Tiffany hosting.
• Right now I'm waiting out the comp before posting.

DEREK X WON THE POWER OF VETO AGAIN!

Derek F worried he has no one if Frenchie goes

SarahBeth remains the only one promised safety by Kyland.

His HOH is so different and much less confusing than last week!

Thank goodness he now has Tiffany. He's still a bit lost.

Using his brain fog much as Dan used his mist.

Closing your eyes and wishing for miracles won't work.

Already gravitating to Kyland and knocking Frenchie.

Actually becoming a bit more tolerable.

That's MR. Veto to you, Frenchie!

BB23: Friday Live Feeds/Nominations - July 16

 

Claire seems to be in a good place

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Crumbling Catfish:

• They played the Wildcard Comp and the winner was (drumroll please) ... SarahBeth.
• She gave up the safety because she did not want to switch teams.
• Frenchie got all bent out of shape about it because he apparently told her to throw it.
• Oh, I forgot to tell you -- the Have Nots this week are Whitney, Brent, Derek X and Hannah. Whitney and Brent volunteered them without even consulting the other two.
• So far Kyland is handling his HOH better than most we've seen.
• Due to a time crunch, he tried to give each person a five-minute one on one meeting.
• He asked them (or most of them) the same two questions -- What can they or do they want to tell him about what's going on in the house and who they thought did the two hinky votes.
• They ALL threw Frenchie under that Bus of Reality.
• Even Whitney -- Frenchie had snapped at her in front of other people that he's through with the Slaughterhouse and, obviously, that outed her as an ally.
• Even Brent -- saying that Frenchie had handled the HOH poorly and is causing issues (even though he loves him as a person). Brent used part of his time trying to con Kyland into working with him.
• Tiffany's talk was interesting. She told him he should keep Frenchie but get one of his two henchmen out -- either Whitney or Brent. She told him she thinks those two were the hinky votes at Frenchie's request so they could blame him (Kyland and Derek X). She says Frenchie himself is powerless without those two.
• Remember ... Tiffany herself was one of the hinky votes at Frenchie's request.
• When Kyland asked her if one of those three went, would working with the other two be possible? She all but snorted and said, "If you work with a snake, you know sooner or later he will bite you."
• She suggested to him that it might be good if the Kings, Queens and Derek X worked together.
• Then ... poof ... time for blocked live feeds, pretty kittens and the nominations ceremony.
• I'm waiting it out now as I get this typed up.
• And the nominations are BRITINI AND fRENCHIE!
• Britini is almost hysterical crying.
• Frenchie is consoling her and Derek F, telling them they both need to be calm and take it easy. He will take it, make the target on his own back big enough that he will be sure to go so they won't have to. He told Britini that if he wins the veto, he will save her. Not a real Marcellas bit as he would plan to go home. He is sure he'd get the vote.
• Derek F seems more upset that two from their team were chosen rather than the people themselves who were chosen. 

"If you evict me, you lose the whole show!"

Tiffany is one of the best ever on the show!

If he handled HOH like he is his nom, we would adore him.

Britini? Not taking it well at all.

BB23: The Unraveling of Frenchie - July 16

 

The one on one HOH talks are a gem

Just a brief update --

The Wildcard Comp went down and SarahBeth won. Frenchie was so mad as he told her to throw it. Bwahaha!

I'll go into more detail later, but ...

... every single person talking to Kyland in the HOH talks is throwing Frenchie under the bus, even his so-called allies Whitney and Brent.

Meanwhile Frenchie is imploding and even alienated one of his strongest allies, Whitney. Oh my.

Kyland talks to Mom and us in his HOH room

It's a new dawn, a new day and the hamsters are up. Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Jumpy Gerbils:

• While they all gathered for the HOH reveal, there was no shouting and thumping on the railing and walls as they waited.
• Thankfully that ridiculous bit seems to be a thing of the past.
• I mean ... it's a room. No need for screaming.
• Kyland was too emotional to read the letter from his mother aloud. So, Tiffany did and it sounded almost like his Mom was indeed talking to him.
• Actual tears. No, not from me. Get real. From Kyland!
• I like his snacks. Now I want snacks. He told them he's going to use the big package of Oreos as currency for favors in the house.
• Heh.
• I have something sad to report. Just call me Frenchie. I have to go back on my word and free y'all to go back on a blog promise.
• I just can't with Whitney anymore. I know we have the blog connection and I told you we will be supporting her.
• But I'm setting you free.
• Fly, little birdies!
• Y'see, there are issues. (A) She's deep in an alliance with Frenchie and apparently supports his wacky ways. (2) She so wants a showmance and is hanging all over Xavier dragging him into the alliance with Brent, Frenchie and her. (C) That not believing the horrific mass school shooting at Sandy Hook is still nagging at me. 
• I just can't.
• Despite all the big and small alliances, named or not, going on in the house, it seems the Frenchie/Brent/Whitney bonds are real.
• What about Derek F and Frenchie?
• Now, I see cracks in that one. True, I think they're good friends.
• BUT ... I don't really see Derek F as hanging onto every word from Frenchie. I think he's keeping his eyes open and will play his own game over Frenchie's game in the long run.
• Too bad he's already tainted. 
• Now, there was a kerfuffle over the hinky votes. 
• I just find that a bit ridiculous. Travis was evicted by almost the whole house. I wanted him gone, yes. But I actually would have liked to see less of a house vote than we had.
• Tiffany said she did it at Frenchie's request.
• Alyssa is worried and is gravitating towards Christian more. They still aren't a showmance, per se. But if both remain in the house, it could happen.
• Gah.
• Want to know what trio will be giving the Frenchie Trio a run for the money?
• One that basically formed last night. Well, they were a duo -- Tiffany and Claire -- but added in ...
• ... Derek X!
• It all started as Tiffany and Claire were using the chess board as a strategy tool. They were comparing observations about who was with whom, who would nominate whom, who to get close to, etc.
• Then comes Derek X. He took one look at the chessboard and said, "That's not a chess game."
• For a couple of hours the three talked strategy. I think it might have been one of the most accurate hamster observation and tactical discussions I've seen in the game.
• The rest can go away. I have my final three choice down. Once they get there, they can duke it out. All three are winners in my book!
• Ahem.
• As for Kyland, unfortunately he is planning on targeting Derek X.
• Wah. That's sad as I do think Kyland is good people.
• But they don't know that the winner of Wildcard will have the option to switch teams.
• And the Wildcard could very well shake things up.
• Kyland does have an advantage over the Frenchie reign going into this as he knows the Wildcard exists.
• The only one he's promised safety to is SarahBeth. 
• He isn't making any decisions until after it and seeing what changes.
• As I get this written up, the feeds are blocked apparently for the Wildcard choosing or maybe the comp. Once I know the comp results, I'll post a brief update.
• Kyland has said he plans on doing one-to-one talks with everyone. Let's see if he can fall out of the Frenchie camp. He should -- after all, Frenchie put him on the block! And Derek X saved him -- he should return that favor!
• Oh, well ... laters.

Strategy on a chessboard

NO! No no! Break it up!

HOH room reveal crowd

She needs to get in with Tiffany, Claire and Derek X

I said KNOCK IT OFF!

Will he escape being on the block this week? Maybe.
