BB23: Live Feeds Nominations Bulletin - August 13

 

After a fairly lengthy live feeds blocking with those adorable adoptable little critters, the critters in the BB house returned.

And, the nominations are in.

Claire and Derek F. 

I'd be happy about the second one there as, to me, he's a waste of space in the house. I also don't care for his demeanor at all. Except for his occasional thoughtful consoling someone, he can get outright nasty. Unfortunately, he's sure to be the pawn this week.

BB23: Live Feeds into Friday Morning - August 13

 

Looking for divine guidance?

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Hungry Hippos:

• They NEED to go to bed.
• They have been up ALL night.
• What's up with that?
• You can tell the HOH comp was not physical or they would be tired.
• As you know from my brief bulletin, Kyland is the new HOH.
• Kyland said he was told nominations would be at 10:30AM (1:30PM here) and BB would probably get them up by 8:00.
• THEN GO TO BED, FOOLS!
• Now Derek F who has been saying he needed to compete in a mental comp is saying he needs a physical comp.
• I don't know. From my observations the comps he could excel at include sitting, laying about on various objects, pillow hugging, complaining about others, being sexist, often being bossy and possibly cooking. 
• Tiffany apparently did so poorly in the comp that she says Detroit and her family won't want her back.
• Yes, the comp was blocked to the live feeds.
• It was a question and answer type comp with each winner of a round choosing the next two to face off. These comps can be very telling in the choices made.
• It sounds like Kyland actually tried to throw the comp to Tiffany, but she got the answer wrong all on her own.
• That's probably why she is so embarrassed of her performance in the comp! It was being given to her on a silver platter and she screwed it up.
• From a chess strategy talk with Derek F, it sounds like Kyland will nominate Britini and Claire.
• Sigh.
• Of course, a Kyland win upsets any and all who wanted SarahBeth out this week. 
• That means only Kyland and Xavier are happy.
• However, the change in tides brought Tiffany and Azah back together!
• Azah is upset because Britini will probably be out before SarahBeth and Tiffany SO wanted SarahBeth out over Christian that she jeopardized her own game last week trying to save him.
• Me? I'm not so vested in SarahBeth. I do like Claire and want to see her stay longer.
• Britini? Um. Well. She runs hot and cold. She's loud. She's emotional. She's not my favorite hamster in the house. But I don't necessarily want her out at the moment.
• I'd like to see Derek F gone. His behaviors are increasingly getting on my nerves. He seems to think he's all that and he just isn't. While he can be a consoling ear at times, mostly he's judging others.
• I am pleased that Derek X should be safe for another week. I've grown to like that lanky kid a lot.
• Kyland and Tiffany seemed to mend bridges. Or not. Well, let me just say I'm pessimistic about how long the peace will last.
• They are still pushing to get all Cookout members as the final six.
• Derek X and Claire need to win powers and comps!
• But, even at the end, the majority vote in the jury will be Cookout members.
• Sigh.
• Nominations should be later today unless they sleep through it as they have been up all darn night.

She does have moments of quiet ... moments

Says Detroit won't want her back

Chowing down

Bereft, simply bereft

Read his own letter this time

Who should go in what order?
Maybe you next, Derek, I say.

But, Kyland ...!

BB23: Live Feeds Special HOH Bulletin - August 12

 

Yes, we have a new Head of Household winner. No, we didn't see it on the live feeds as it was blocked.

Kyland is the new HOH.

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

Julie is dressed in tan and looking summery. Let's take the "previously on" segment time to gather our snacks!

We get the completion of the veto meeting and ... drumroll, please ... but first we're told it's the last eviction before jury and a huge twist in which we have a part is coming. Ohh ... while Julie talks they're doing the Big Blue Couch dance in their seats.

Oh, Britini saved herself and Derek put Christian on the block. Christian thinks Derek X is a coward and he will have the votes to stay. Derek F tells him he has him. He tells us he needs to check in with the Jokers and the Cookout to see where everyone is before he makes the decision.

Christian blames his nomination on SarahBeth. He thinks she lied about him to Derel. He's angry and snaps at Derek.

Claire gets her costume -- she's dressed as a playing card. Anytime BB tells her to she needs to throw the deck of cards in the air, then play 52 Pick Up by herself. Kyland gets his Jackass of Clubs donkey costume and must make club sandwiches on demand from the BB King.

Tiffany is talking to Christian. He tells her that her hug felt like a goodbye hug. She tells him that she feels she has to vote with the house. He replies that she and Claire would be the majority. She tells us he needs three more votes, not just her one, to stay. She talks to Britini and Azah about him pressuring her. She says that she will tell him that Britini is the swing vote. Britini tells us that she just doesn't know.

Derek F has a bug in his bonnet about Tiffany bossing people around. He threatens to drop out of the Cookout. She's not the boss of him! Whoa, he's getting way nasty about her.

Julie gives us a tease about an eleven hour flip. Tiffany tells Christian that, unlike what the others are telling him, he doesn't have the votes. She tells him others are lying and that Britini and Derek F are flipfloppers. She tells us that keeping him is better for her own game than is keeping SarahBeth. She talks to Xavier who tells her he feels the same way. She tells us that with her, Xavier and Alyssa on board, she would only need two more votes to keep him.

Claire is not so keen on the idea. She talks about not trusting the people they've worked with. Uh-oh, Claire seems to be onboard now. Christian tells Britini that Tiffany wants to talk to her. Derek F and Azah insist on coming along. Now Tiffany is mad. The Cookout has cracks growing.

To the living room --

Christian - Thanks friends/family, still here because he was loyal, knows it's a game, friends with all 

SarahBeth - Shoutouts, talks kindly of Christian, last week before jury, if on jury would be objective, love and respect all.

Julie asks how they know she doesn't have a twist up her sleeve about jury.

The votes to evict:

Hannah - Christian

Kyland - Christian

Xavier - SarahBeth

Alyssa - SarahBeth

Into commercial ...

Britini - Christian

Derek F - He sadly to evote Christian

Tiffany - Christian

Claire - Christian

Azah - Christian - Can her outfit get any more lowcut?

Christian is evicted and is mature about it but for his huge kiss for Alyssa. Julie cuts it short, doesn't show the goodbye messages as they are short on time. Once it goes online, I'll post the extended interview on here if I can.

The new twist is -- Julie tells the HG that they all made jury. High risk/high reward. New room at BB Beach Club -- the high rollers room, inside three unique BB Casino games and three powers. Skill, luck, BB Bucks -- a special currency given each week with the ones voted by America getting the most. Bigger powers cost more.

We get a good night without an HOH Comp.

You can go to www.cbs.com/bbvote for information, text 97979 with the HG name you want to win the most. Top Three get $100, next three get $75, others all get $50. It looks like all they are doing is the text vote this season.

BB23: Live Feeds into Thursday Morning - August 12

 

Telling his problems to a donkey

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Flipping Foxes:

• Tears, jeers, fears ... that was the kind of day it was.
• What a mess.
• Tiffany decided to try to flip the vote (and keep Christian).
• Now, we know she has wanted that for her own game all along.
• She's been trying to switch the target to SarahBeth.
• She had enlisted Hannah to switch the target to SarahBeth.
• Sure, keeping Christian would be good for her own game. And, it would come with a bonus Alyssa.
• But, it isn't the best for others.
• The Cookout almost fell apart and might soon be leaking like a sieve.
• Azah and Derek F got all kinds of mad at Tiffany for trying to flip the vote.
• For most in the house, it would be better that Christian go. He can excel at physical comps. If he makes it to jury both he and Alyssa will probably vote as a block.
• Heck, even Derek F who wants women out wants Christian to go.
• Azah and Derek F were even talking about wanting to keep Britini in the house longer than Tiffany!
• Britini cried.
• Christian cried.
• SarahBeth cried.
• Xavier did not cry. He actually tried to help Christian by giving him talk points for his campaigning.
• But then he also told him he didn't think he had the votes to stay.
• Claire ended up warning him that it didn't look good.
• In the end, Tiffany has drawn negative attention within the Cookout and Christian should be evicted tonight. Perhaps a split vote, but evicted.
• Christian has accepted it but did fuss that every white male is out once he goes.
• Well, we really needed a better class of white males, I say!
• Two out of the three black males are superfans, physically fit and smart -- Kyland and Xavier. The third is a superfan, but not a great BB winner prospect -- Derek F. The one Asian male is a recruit, but smart, physically fit and a quick study. Meanwhile, the whites got Frenchie, Brent and what's-his-name. Christian was the best of the group.
• Oh, well.
• We get a new HOH tonight!

Making a valiant effort to flip the vote

Maybe he can stop if he spits in the food!

Scrambling to stay
