BB23: Live Feeds into Saturday Morning - July 31

 

Oh my. Did Audrey visit the house?

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Shady Sharks:

• Just to note -- that's Claire in the screen cap at the top here, not Audrey. 
• Just in case, y'know. I don't want rumors spreading all over the interwebs that Audrey made an appearance.
• Hmm. Perhaps it's the GHOST of Audrey?!?!
• For those who haven't been paying attention -- Audrey Claire won the Wild Card and has two weeks of safety which guarantees her jury at the very least and Alyssa Christian nominated Whitney and Hannah for eviction.
• Whitney is the target.
• Although it wasn't actually said before nominations, Hannah had a pretty good idea she would be going up as a pawn.
• She was fully informed after the nominations and told to act sad and all.
• Okay.
• To her credit, she did cover her bases well with Whitney playing the "I don't know why he came up with us" card and saying it was because they were the only ones who didn't lie to him on the one to one two meetings before nominations.
• His solo meetings with them were a hot mess indeed. "I don't know what I'm doing," he said.
• And, he doesn't. Hopefully his parents will continue to shelter him well into his forties.
• It looks like, if the veto is used, Britini would be the replacement nomination. Oy!
• Hannah has been told they need the noms to remain the same.
• Will she throw the veto comp? Will she not save herself with the veto if she wins it?
• Hmm.
• She was told that whatever happens, Whitney CANNOT win the veto comp.
• Hmm.
• Although the week is still early, Alyssa at least isn't canoodling so much with Christian and is returning to her own bed at night. She says her parents may be watching. We'll see how long that lasts. It isn't preventing the random make-out sessions under covers.
• Derek F on slop is pretty much what we would expect.
• He shovels down bowls of the stuff and eats olives by the jar yet complains he's still hungry.
• Even with all the drama, the hamsters still get together for group skits, improv and games every evening.
• Last night's Big Blue Couch show featured singing by individuals and groups ... all original songs due to copyright issues, skits and interviews. I have to give this group credit for creating their own entertainment each evening and for playing together as a group despite the inherent nastiness of playing the game of Big Brother.
• Mind you, Alyssa and Christian chose the time to snuggle away from the masses while the Big Blue Couch Show was going down.
• Oh my. Alyssa ended up in the HOH room last night despite her protests that she "doesn't do sexy."
• A lot will depend on the veto comp today.
• If Whitney per chance wins it, we can expect some excitement!

Although very present, isn't on the radar of most.

Just a pair of Dereks

Board meeting in progress

I don't want to make decisions!

I don't want to be on the block!

BB23: Live Feeds Nominations Spoiler - July 30

Nominations are in.

So, you wonder ... who did Alyssa nominate?

Oh. I meant Christian.

Sorry about that.

It's Whitney and Hannah on the block and Whitney is the major target.

 

BB23: Live Feeds Wild Card Spoiler - July 30

 

The live feeds were blocked forever and a day this morning. Okay, I exaggerate, but ...!

When they came back on, there was talk going on.

Claire was talking about being confirmed to be at least on the jury. So, she won and accepted the two weeks of safety!

BB23: Live Feeds into Friday Morning - July 30

 

Who wants to see my HOH room?

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

• The feeds returned after the live show to a really long wait for the HOH room to be readied.
• The Jokers -- Derek F, Azah and Britini -- are the Have Nots for the week.
• Too bad, so sad.
• Heh.
• It will give Derek F the opportunity to try new cooking skills!
• He got all cranky anyway. Cranky to the point that Xavier told him if he didn't stop he just might be putting a target on his back.
• After all, the plan is now one Cookout pawn and a target on the block anyway!
• Oh, wait. Christian isn't in the Cookout. He just wears the braids when BB lets him!
• Whitney pleaded a headache and said she wasn't feeling well.
• She's probably worried that she might be a target as well.
• It didn't stop her from getting all over Xavier.
• She needs to let that man alone! Sheesh! Her kids could be watching!
• Once the HOH room opened, Christian asked Tiffany to read his letter from his mother much like she did with Kyland's letter last week.
• Aww.
• Christian wants to put two women on the block -- Whitney and (most likely) Hannah.
• I guess it's about time. Three men have gone so far. While I want the women to rock this season, I suppose we can't have a final eight of all females!
• The Wild Card comp -- they don't know it's the last one -- could change all that.
• At the moment, it's Christian, Xavier, Alyssa and SarahBeth (the only remaining team of four) who are safe due to Christian's win.
• Whitney is the only Aces player who can play the Wild Card. If she wins, she just might want to take the safety no matter the consequences!
• Christian fussed to Britini that he really doesn't want the responsibility of HOH or the "blood on his hands."
• @@
• Britini told him there wouldn't be a larger target because it was a team win that put him there.
• "But it was my win. I did seven pieces of the puzzle!"
• Oh, well. It makes no difference in the long run.
• After all, I would bet this will actually be Alyssa's HOH anyway.
• He plans on one on one meetings with the hamsters with his team.
• Hmm.
• Wouldn't that be four on ones?
• I'll let you know who won the Wild Card when I know!

Safe for the week with bro Christian, yes!

Is he HOH or is his team HOH?

Off the block for now ...

Oh, poor Derek F ...

Will they work together? Nah, not really!

Both are safe this week due to team default.

BB23: Live Eviction and HOH Show Blog Party - July 29

 

Y'all ready for a third hamster down? I am! While it seems to be longer, this is just the third week. Oy! I found it much easier to get the names down with this more diverse cast. Alas, although it's more diverse and split into teams, they're still leaning towards house votes. I hate that. Hopefully it will change after tonight.

I'll be live blogging the major events as the show airs here on the East Coast. Refresh the page to get the latest happenings! As always, the real blog party is in the comments area. I hope to see you there! (Bring snacks and tasty beverages, please!)

********************************

On with the show! Just a note -- I'm under a severe thunderstorm watch as well as a tornado watch here. If I vanish, it's most likely a power outage.

Oh my. Julie is sporting a tight-legged with off one shoulder grey outfit. Hmm. Let's commence thumb-twiddling until the end of the "previously on" segment.

We pick up the action with Julie telling us that all week the hamsters have been fooling Brent that he's safe. She tells us that pulling off a blindside isn't easy. Brent tells us he should stay 6 to 5.

He really thinks they're all on his side. Others are agreeing with Brent's ideas just in case. Brent is sure that Xavier will not see it coming! Brent tells Dere X and Kyland that next week it will be Xavier and Christian on the block. Of course, he also mentioned that Britini would be going home.

Brent almost catches Hannah discussing his demise with Derek X. Ohh , Derek F thinks that Xavier, who is a lawyer but lied and said he's a bartender, is a lawyer. Heh. He's right.

There is a bunch of hamsters hiding from Brent in the HOH room. Meanwhile, Brent corners Alyssa about staying. Whitney tells us that deep down she thinks Brent is a good guy and tries to give him some life/game advice. 

Claire tells us she feels sorry for him but no way can they tell him about the blindside.

Julie tells us that with Brent going the focus turns to the strongest team in the house. They discuss a Kings team member going. Derek X doesn't want to take the shot (HOH) because he's in the Royal Flush alliance with them. Alyssa wants to target Whitney. Derek X is in a quandary. Tiffany thinks a duo from the Kings side needs to go, at least one of them. Derek X advises Claire and Tiffany that Whitney would take a shot.

Meanwhile the Kings know that one of them would most likely be the target. Hannah's name is brought up as well as Whitney's for nominations if they win HOH.

Julie is questioning whether the blindside is still in place or not. Hmm. That's definitely a hint.

To the living room--

Britini - Another rap starts but then she gets normal. She will be their sunshine on their darkest days, etc.

Brent - Shout-outs. Actions speak louder than words. My actions! We had fun.

The votes to evict:

Christian - Brent

Azah - Brent

Derek X - Brent

Kyland - Brent

Claire - Brent

Hannah - Brent

SarahBeth - Brent

Alyssa - Brent

Derek F - Brent

Whitney - Brent

Tiffany - Brent

It's unanimous. You can tell by his reaction that he knew it. Someone told him. He does leave the house with grace.

He tells Julie he isn't surprised because he's had a huge target on his back from the beginning and it's a game of betrayal. He's a strong personality and a physical threat. She mentions his own teammates turned on him. He says he's not shocked and Hannah must have just gone along with the herd.

INTERRUPTION ARGH STORM WATCH TORNADO AND FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS!

Due to the storm interruption, I missed the whole start of the comp. It's a puzzle. Each team is playing one at a time timed.

CHRISTIAN IS THE NEW HOH! He, Allysa and SarahBeth are safe.

Final Wild Card tomorrow. Next week is the first endurance comp of the season for HOH.
