BB23: Live Feeds into Monday Morning - August 2

 

Tiffany rockin' the beach hat

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Coy Coyotes:

• With the yard open and their big "night out" Night Club event happening, they could only talk game about ten hours yesterday.
• Okay, just to be clear, their night out is a dress up event on the balcony over the yard.
• Whitney is still holding out hope that Christian will use the veto and save her.
• Silly girl.
• She thinks if she's not saved that hanging all over Xavier might save her game.
• That's just whack! 
• Yes, Whitney, he probably would go for a restraining order. I don't think he's that into you!
• Tiffany schooled Hannah on some do's and don'ts's of the game. "Listen more and speak less." It seems that Hannah was a bit too quick and accurate with days questions answers when studying with Christian and Christian tells Alyssa everything so that's more ammunition against her.
• Alyssa keeps scheming against Hannah while Hannah keeps scheming against SarahBeth.
• Oh. And Tiffany is also on the Target Sarah Beth boat.
• Kyland had one of his long camera talks. He says it's getting hard and he loves everyone. He really wants SarahBeth to stay.
• He also said that Whitney had told them (before she was nominated) that she didn't want to sit in jury as she misses her kids.
• Now, that was either not on the feeds or I missed it.
• She can go. With the blog connection to her, I wanted to be able to cheer her on. But I just can't do it. 
• Azah and Derek X had a lengthy discussion of Kaysar and Janelle, season six. Derek wasn't familiar with that season at all but knows who Janelle and Kaysar are.
• Tiffany joined in on the talk and is also enamored with Janelle and Kaysar.
• Both Azah and Tiffany said they preferred "old school" BB.
• When Derek X asked what the difference was, they told him that people didn't vote with the HOH and huge huge alliances didn't exist.
• Yet that's the game Tiffany and Azah are playing.
• @@
• Xavier and Derek F have decided that Derek F has to win HOH this week and target Christian.
• Bwahahaha!
• Pardon me.
• I need to stop guffawing.
• I need to at least get it down to a chortle.
• They don't know that the HOH will be endurance.
• Unless it's sitting or laying down, Derek F is not a Master of Endurance.
• I predict first out.
• I'll let you know how the Veto Meeting goes when I know. I sincerely doubt that Christian will use the veto.

Xavier rockin' the blanket

I predict a good friendship for years to come.

I love his storage room talks to the camera (us)

They are starting to realize he is a threat
 both physical and mental.

Most like him more than his showmance partner

Telling Derek X the joys of Kaysar

BB23: Wild Card Comp and Nominations Show Blog Party - Aug. 1

 

Good evening! Welcome to the blog, welcome to the party! Since this is a show post, please don't post spoilers from the live feeds in the comments area. Unfortunately, I will have to remove such comments as some of the folks following the show posts aren't into the live feeds. Merci!

I will be live-blogging, updating this post as the show airs here on the East Coast. Refresh the page the get the latest happenings! As always, the real party is in the comments section. I hope to see you there!

Let's sit out "previously on" playing pattycake!

We pick up the action after the HOH comp ends. Christian is singing the praises of the Kings. Xavier tells us that last week, besides Brent as a target, Whitney and Hannah were the most mentioned. He would prefer they target Whitney (as Hannah is sort of a member of the Cookout). Britini is thrilled because she's sure she won't be a target this week.

Derek F is fussing to Azah that he hasn't won anything. He's sure the Kings (winning HOH team) will target them. Azah really wanted the win, but is handling it okay.

Christian is worried about the responsibility. Claire is a bit worried that she might go on the block and is determined to win the Wild Card to ensure her safety. Hannah thinks Christian might put her up as a pawn.

Derek F is whining again. He whines because his team are the underdogs but I think a lot of it is because he hasn't won anything.

Christian isn't sure what to do. The Whitney and Hannah scenario comes up. They think Whitney would/should be the target. SarahBeth is more concerned with the fact that Hannah is a stronger player and should go over Whitney. Then Britini's name comes up as a renom. Or should he use Azah as a pawn? Decisions, decisions.

Heh. Derek F comments on Whitney's scanty clothing. I will say I'm so glad my mother didn't dress like that.

This week's social commentary is Derek X feeling alone as a child of immigrants in western culture. Azah was teased because her skin is so dark. Derek X wants to provide a different image of a Chinese/American person.

Wild Card comp time! Claire is the only eligible member of her team, so she will play. Same for Whitney. Azah goes for her team. The comp is a club set-up with a huge martini glass and a "zone" for each of them. They have to make their own drinks. It's a ball (olive) rolling into their drink table maze comp with a power black out possible. The house can watch the comp on the screen in the living room. Claire keeps coming closest to winning.

CLAIRE WINS THE WILD CARD COMP!

The decision she has to make? Safety for her and her team for one week or safety just for herself for jury. She goes for ... her own game and safety! Her teammates are already safe with Christian this week and it's the smart move to make. She and her teammates - Tiffany and Kyland - do the happy win dance in the storage room.

HOH Royal Flush meeting in progress. There are so many of them that it's hard to find nominees. Throw in the Cookout members there and some of the Royal Flush may balk. Alyssa wants Hannah out. Tiffany suggests Britini. SarahBeth pushes the Hannah agenda.

Christian wants to meet up with with Derek F, Azah and Britini. Derek F trash talks Whitney saying that she's been saying that she would go after the Kings. Britini agrees. Christian's co-HOH Alyssa is with him. In talking with their own team it's looking like Hannah would go up with Whitney and Whitney is the target.

Christian talks to Hannah, telling her that he can't put up Derek X as he would go home (larger threat), the target is Whitney ... would she (Hannah) be a pawn? She is reluctant. She tells him that he would be safe if she wins HOH.

Time for the Nominations Ceremony -- Christian puts Whitney, then Hannah. He tells them that he or his team would have been targeted by either of them if they won HOH.

BB23: Live Feeds into Sunday Morning - August 1

Julie is finally pronouncing Azah's name right!

Here is the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Antsy Aardvarks:

• For those who missed the update -- Christian won the Power of Veto and is almost certainly going to keep the nominations the same ... Hannah and Whitney.
• Whitney remains the target.
• Hannah remains acting confused as to why she's on the block and trusting that she is indeed just a pawn to guarantee Whitney's eviction.
• Whitney has returned to hanging all over Xavier -- applying lotion, giving massages to him and generally rubbing the dude pretty much all over.
• Her behavior is reminding me of Christine with Cody in BB16 although a saving grace is that Whitney is at least single. But she has two children at home. Sigh.
• However, her behavior gave Tiffany and Azah fodder for a fun-filled discussion (not fun if your name is Whitney, mind you!) and lengthy imitations. 
• No, Tiffany and Azah ... you're not being petty. If you are, then I'm petty too.
• During their talk it seems that both Azah and Tiffany are regretting committing to the Cookout, at least a little bit. Both said they really like Derek X and Christian and don't want either to leave any time soon.
• I say "the heck with the Cookout" and keep those you WANT to be with in the house!
• Azah thinks that SarahBeth is acting dumb but really knows the game well. She's right, of course. Tiffany tried to steer her into getting closer to SarahBeth.
• Meanwhile, up in the HOH room Derek X was talking with Alyssa. He thinks people are trying to get him and Christian working against each other when he would like to work with Christian.
• Alyssa proposed yet another new alliance -- her, Christian, Derek X and Hannah.
• Christian seems okay with it but still wants their final four with Tiffany and Claire.
• I swear there are more alliances than there are houseguests this season!
• They got the backyard late last night.
• Derek F is still cantankerous about his slop.
• Poor baby.

Has become everybody's confidant and advisor

Derek X has made friends and influenced people

Derek F thinks he's made friends and is now annoying people

He is going to be seen as a threat needing to go before long

Tiff and Azah cracking up imitating Whitney

This is what they were imitating (see arrow)

Alyssa thinks she's QOH - Queen of Household

Is Xavier swayed by Whitney hanging all over him?

They got the yard back last night

 

BB23: Live Feeds Power of Veto Spoiler - July 31

 

Don't they look so comfy?

Well, today is the big Power of Veto comp leading into either doldrums with no comps until Thursday or a scramble for or against veto use until the veto meeting on Monday, then doldrums or campaigning.

The veto players, in addition to Christian, Hannah and Whitney are: Derek X, Claire and Azah. I don't know who drew whose name or if a houseguest choice chip was used. They block the feeds for the draw and I didn't hear them mention it.

I do know that Derek X does NOT want to win this one. If he were to win he'd be between a rock and a hard place on use. He's close with Hannah while Whitney is his team captain. They're both on his team. Plus he'd be on the outs with Christian/Alyssa and the house at large if the noms were to change. And, if Britini went up as a renom ... OY!

Derek X and Azah told each other that they plan to do whatever Christian wants if they win the veto. Yesterday Hannah told Christian she would trust that Whitney is the target and not save herself if she wins. But, although probably true, she'd be pretty foolish not to save herself. Keyword: Marcellas.

The feeds have been blocked for the comp. I'm just waiting them out so I can post the winner when they return.

CHRISTIAN WON THE POWER OF VETO

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!
