BB23: Live Feeds into Saturday Evening - August 14

They yawn, I yawn

Here is the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Confusing Cougars:

Okay, I'm getting all kinds of discombobulated here.
Befuddled, as well.
I have no problem understanding that they drew players for the veto comp.
In addition to Kyland, Claire and Derek F we have Azah, Britini and Alyssa. Hmm.
But then that High Rollers twist bit steps in.
It seems they could bet on people to win and one could win a second veto? They could use it this week or next.
I find that a bit perplexing!
I think I might have to drag out my Thesaurus!
From my understanding (or lack thereof): Derek F chose Britini, Kyland chose Alyssa, SarahBeth chose Azah, Claire chose Kyland.
The rest of the hamsters didn't bet, perhaps saving their BB bucks for a better prize bet.
I guess.
Or, maybe the $50 people didn't have enough?
I find myself a bit bewildered.
It was a feeds block frenzy once again today.
After one, they came back talking about OTEV. I don't know if they were told that would be the comp or whether they just got it in their heads that it could be.
Some are saying it's too early for it, others saying it isn't.
I'm baffled.
The target this week seems to be Britini, thank you to Xavier and Tiffany for pushing that to save Claire.
What?
Britini's not a nomination!
But she is a picked at random veto player.
If she puts her mind to it like she did to save her own butt and saves Claire (or even Derek F although he's a pawn but has been very nice to her), who would go up?
Will there be more nominees because of the second veto?
Argh!
I find it all quite puzzling.

What the heck is going on?!?!

Will his talk go 'round in circles?

If not for the Cookout, it would be
her, Claire and Derek X

Probably won't win, but he's a winner anyway

Says she only got the $50 for High Rollers

Seriously ... now is the time to win comps, Claire!

BB23: Live Feeds into Saturday Morning - August 14

KITTEHS!!! Saw most of the day it seems ...

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Gambling Gremlins:

After all the tedious one-on-one meetings by Kyland as he tried to decide on nominations, it seemed to come down to Claire and Britini.
But then Derek F valiantly stepped in front of the speeding train of broken hamster dreams, offering to be the pawn in place of Britini.
Valiant? Hmm. He says he doesn't want Britini to go through being on the block again.
Maybe. If so, it will be one of the few worthwhile kind things he's done in the house. And, I'm sure that's at least a part of his reasoning for volunteering to be a pawn.
But, you see, I've watched him all season talking about how he would be happy just to make it to jury, has nothing at home to return to and on and on. He knows the likelihood of him winning a comp is just about nil. He realizes that physical comps just aren't his thing and he's failed at the mental comps, too. A paid vacation in the jury house sounds great to him!
In a fair and just world, the person wanting to stay and play the game would stay while the one who already thinks he won't win will go to jury.
Alas, then there's the Cookout.
Any non-Cookout hamster up with Derek F is almost certainly going to be voted out.
The nominations are Derek F and Claire.
Wah.
So much of yesterday was kittens and puppies between the nominations block and then the really extended block for the new High Rollers twist.
The hamsters know there are three levels of $$$ and that America is voting on who gets how much.
So ... it gives them an idea who America really likes.
As a result, most are not talking or are lying about how much they got.
Derek X told Hannah he got $100, the highest amount. I believe it.
It sounds like Derek F (?!?!?!) and Britini may have been the other "big" winners.
It sounds like many accepted or bet on the powers, but I really can't divulge much about the powers.
Um. I can't divulge because I am so confused! There was something about a second veto that I just don't understand. I guess we will have to wait until the show for clarification.
Meanwhile, it seems that Hannah and Tiffany really don't want Claire out this week. If they had their way, SarahBeth would win veto, save Claire and Britini would go up and out.
That's because, of course, they just cannot vote out fellow Cookout member, Derek F!
They were saying no one else was really mentioning Claire as a target right now and it was all Kyland.
Grr.
The veto comp will be later today.
A lot will hinge on the winner of that comp.
Please let it be Claire!

Her fate is in the cards

Still bereft

No, I don't want to be your pawn!

Um. Okay. Whatever.

And then a donkey led them ...

Exactly how I felt watching them yesterday

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.
