BB23: Power of Veto Show Blog Party - July 21

 

Good evening! I hope all of you are well tonight and weathering the weather! Tonight is the Power of Veto comp on the show. Now, remember ... many people read the show posts but don't watch the live feeds. So, this is a NO SPOILERS zone! Please don't post events until you see them air on the show. Merci!

I'll be live blogging the major happenings and updating this entry as the show airs here on the East Coast. Please 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!

Oh, let's open with a recap! No, not here. I'm talking on the show.

We pick up the action after nominations. Heh. Kyland tells us that Frenchie has been chaotic in the house. (You don't say!) He thinks Britini would take Frenchie off the block if she won veto. Brent and Whitney quickly abandon their ol' buddy and comrade Frenchie. Britini cries and her team surrounds her -- Frenchie, Derek F and Azah. Derek F seems more upset that two of the people on his team are up on the block, not really who they are. 

Frenchie insists to Britini that he will be going home, not her. He promises her that if he wins veto, he will save her. He tells us that if he wins the veto, he'll figure a way to save both of them. Yeah, right.

Tiffany gives Kyland words of support. Tiffany so wants Frenchie out and she's proud of Kyland. 

Brent, Whitney, Hannah and Derek X sit around talking the demerits of Frenchie. Frenchie tells Kyland he's not mad at him and hugs him. He says he knows he's the target. He tells him that Britini is heartbroken and if he wins veto, he will use it on her. Kyland doesn't believe him but humors him, nodding.

Kyland tells Britini that everyone in the house wanted to target Frenchie. She asks him if he will use the veto. He tells her it would serve no purpose in his own game to do so. That bothers her even more. 

Heh. Brent calls Frenchie erotic when he means erratic. He is more like their usual casting. Most of this season is better quality non-dead end job types. They say it's his accent. Mind you, he is NOT from NJ. Rhode Island has an accent that's similar but not quite Massachusetts.

Britini tells Frenchie that Kyland told her everyone except her threw out his name. He knows his Slaughterhouse kin gave him up. Frenchie runs around the house calling out the Slaughterhouse with the exception of Derek F and Xavier (final two deal and thinks he could work with Xavier down the line -- AS IF he will stay!). Claire thinks the Slaughterhouse is as fake as the girls alliance French Kiss where everyone just pretended to join in on.

A funny, yet odd, Alyssa birthday bit ensues. She gets wrapped in toilet paper.

Veto player picks time -- Kyland draws Alyssa. Frenchie draws Claire. Britini draws Derek X.

The backyard is set up like a day at the beach. Fill container with suntan oil to retrieve your whistle. Must catch the oil in a container and fill the suntan oil. The oil bursts from huge different spraying bottles, running from bottle to bottle to fill up their bottle first. It's one at a time. Britini is first and seems to have clicked in on how to best do it. But was her epiphany too late? Kyland is next. Then Derek X, Claire, Alyssa and last is Frenchie.

Claire 5.33

Kyland 4.54

Britini 5.08

Derek X 4.41

Alyssa 6.57

Frenchie 5.06

DEREK X WINS VETO AGAIN!

Frenchie cries in the Diary Room to us. Oh, boo-hoo. He tells Azah he is going out and he sacrificed himself for something he's not. She knows the show has been his dream and doesn't want him to give up. Derek F also advises him not to give up. I say GIVE UP. Oh, geez ... they lit the fire under him. Just what we needed!

Frenchie goes to Kyland and Derek X to lay out his "war plan." He plays on the fact that he would go home before either of them, would be loyal to them, would never target them, etc. 

Time for the veto meeting -- Derek X does NOT use the veto. Britini and Frenchie both remain on the block. 

BB23: Live Feeds into Tuesday Evening - July 20

 

Definitely not a showmance!

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Rowdy Rabbits:

• Nothing has been happening today.
• Really.
• Lots of No Fish Cam feed blocks over nothing happening.
• Don't ask me why.
• Derek F is feeding into Frenchie's thoughts that there might be a chance the first four (or so) evicted might battle back into the house.
• I doubt it as they gave Travis too much information in the interviews for him to return.
• For some whacked-out reasons of her own, Britini thinks she needs to hold one on one campaign pleas to stay even though she has been told over and over (and over again) that Frenchie is the big target and will definitely be evicted.
• Whitney and Brent had a kerfuffle. Without the devotion to Frenchie, they're a bit on edge with each other.
• Kyland had a long talk with Whitney telling her that if he ever makes her feel either uncomfortable or disrespected, just let him know.
• While I don't think Kyland is making the absolute best ally choices, he just seems like such a nice guy!
• Even Brent was saying how well he handled his HOH. Of course, Brent took credit for it telling him not to be emotional.
• Frenchie has not been acting out.
• I think he will handle the eviction okay.
• Like I said, nothing much happening.

BB23: Live Feeds into Monday Night - July 19

 

Not a showmance

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Whirling Dervishes:

• I realize I didn't timely post the results of the PoV meeting after the live feeds block ended today.
• But I thought it would go without saying that Derek X did not use the veto.
• Britini had asked him not to save her because someone else would go up and she had been told that she is not the target.
• Frenchie knew it was no use asking Derek X to save him.
• So it remains Frenchie and Britini on the block heading to eviction day.
• Hmm. Kyland and Derek F are the latest final two deal. 
• How quickly Derek F has forgotten Frenchie even before he's gone?
• I don't know. Due to physical limitations, Derek F probably won't do well in any real physical comps, but he is very observant and has a good social game.
• He has to have a good social game as no one is giving him any heat for his defense of Frenchie!
• Today was the anniversary of the COVID death of SarahBeth's father. Kyland comforted her, but the pain of loss is still so fresh.
• As usual, game talk in the yard is limited when so many are out in the yard.
• With this group we also have nightly kitchen and living room gatherings which cut down on conspiring.
• Kyland, for whatever reason, decided to have team talks one on ones after the veto meeting.
• Why Ky?
• Not needed. Your job as HOH is done. You done did well. You can relax now.
• Frenchie has not exploded.
• There ya go ...

What will she do without her captain?

Stop talking, Kyland. Your work is done here.

More astute than people might think

If not a showmance, it must be Alyssa throwing herself on him.

BB23: Live Feeds into Monday Morning - July 19

 

Enduring a Frenchie talk until Claire saves him.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Wacky Wombats:

• As it was Sunday it was quiet on the home front -- no comps, the PoV decision pretty much known ahead of time, the yard open and Frenchie saying he accepts that he will be leaving.
• Of course, the fact that Frenchie will be leaving is because of THEM, nothing he did.
• He was loyal.
• He kept his word.
• That is the World According to Frenchie.
• He is still saying there will probably be a twist.
• With the exception of Derek F, who is really saddened about Frenchie's expected eviction, the others are all either enduring or humoring him just to keep the drama level down.
• The HOH camera was out and about.
• In the evening they once again did group skit/game activities.
• Derek F said that he thinks they're all telling the truth about their jobs but Xavier is too smart to be a bartender, he has to be a lawyer or something.
• SNAP! Xavier recovered from his initial shock about it and laughed it off, but ...!
• Derek F, except for his infatuation with Frenchie, is a very observant game player.
• Power of Veto meeting is later today -- it won't be used.
• Then it's a long time until Thursday!

He's fitting in more and staying away from Frenchie.

Stop it, Tiffany! When you yawn I yawn!

Not a showmance. Really.

He SAYS he's accepted that he will be evicted.

Not much game talk goes on in the yard.

Not a showmance? Um, well. Right.

BB23: Wildcard Comp and Nominations Show Blog Party - July 18

 

Welcome, everybody! On the show we last saw Kyland win the Head of Household. Will the week be as chaotic with him at the helm as it was with Frenchie? Well, I actually don't believe that is possible. Frenchie just might be the winner of the most confusing HoH reign ever!

I know even the Power of Veto is already done on the live feeds. However, the show posts are NO SPOILER zones. Many people follow just the show posts and don't want the show spoiled. Any spoiler comments will be removed.

I'll be live blogging and regularly updating this entry with the major happenings 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 join in on the fun!

Previously on ... yeah, there's that. We saw the shows. We know. Move along!

We pick up the action after they finish the HoH. Kyland is thrilled, of course. But now he wants to know why the vote wasn't unanimous. Alyssa also wants to know. We know -- Tiffany and Derek F. Both knew it wouldn't evict Alyssa and both did it because Frenchie asked them to do so. Tiffany did it because he kept her safe and made him swear not to tell. She already has it planned to blow him out of the water if it gets out. Derek F did it because Frenchie's his "boo."

Claire and Tiffany are beyond happy to be on the winning team and be safe with Kyland in charge. Xavier thinks it might just be a smooth week. 

Frenchie meets up with Brent, Whitney and Tiffany, tells them he knows who cast the two votes but won't tell. Tiffany is irked that he even felt the need to mention it.

Tiffany warns Kyland to beware of Frenchie. He tells us it's not the first time he's been warned. Travis gave him the lowdown -- not a man of his word, breaks promises, etc.

HOH Room reveal. I like how Kyland opened the door and held for everyone. His letter brought tears to his eyes. So, Tiffany offered to read it to the room and he gratefully accepted the offer. She read it very well ... almost as if his Mom was talking to him.

But then Tiffany herself gets emotional ... or plays it for show to the others. Heh. Gotta love that girl! She sees everything Frenchie is doing and tells us he has to go home Thursday.

Wild Card time! Queens are safe due to HOH, Hannah and Christian already played so they can't play again. Frenchie wants to play in it. SarahBeth plays. Aces go for the random draw -- Brent. Kyland tells them to put on their nicest attire and get ready for a wild night out on the town.

Kyland tells Frenchie he will be asking questions, not giving out information. Frenchie tells him that if he stays, he'll always be the bigger target. He tells Kyland that he will be safe. Frenchie thinks that Kyland's demeanor is throwing up red flags. Oh, he's probably right.

Frenchie announces to Whitney that he's out (of the Slaughterhouse) in front of others who don't know he was even in it. Even Brent is saying that Frenchie is playing like a loose cannon. Whitney confronts Frenchie alone and he tells her no drama and doesn't give her the time of the day. Now she wants nothing to do with him. Frenchie talks to Brent who thinks he wants him to throw the comp and let him win. Nope. Not going to work.

The WC comp is set up as the private BB Beach Club art gallery. They are shown changing artwork and have to select a correct swatch. BB Flying Colors. The first to three points wins. First was the exclamation point in a painting. SarahBeth gets it right and gets splashed with paint. Brent got the second one right. Frenchie got the third one. SarahBeth gets a second point. SARAHBETH WINS THE WILD CARD COMP! Frenchie knows he's in trouble.

SarahBeth istold that if she wants the week of safety she has to swap with someone on Kyland's team. SarahBeth passes on the offer. She wants to stay with her own team and trusts Kyland.

Kyland talks to Tiffany who calls Brent, Whitney and Frenchie a three-headed monster in the house. She tells us she's not sure where Kyland sits with Frenchie. A brief bit with all telling him separately about Frenchie, even Brent and Whitney throwing the farmer under the tractor ... er, bus. Britini brings up duos of Whitney/Brett and Christian/Alyssa. She does not mention Frenchie.

Time for the nominations! Kyland nominates Frenchie, then Britini. He tells Frenchie that he can't trust him. Britini is loyal and he was worried that she would take Frenchie down if she won veto.
