BB23: Live Feeds POV Update - August 23

 

Well, Xavier ...?

This isn't a lengthy report. Nothing really lengthy worthy has been happening. Obviously, a short worthy event happened. The veto meeting was today. 

As expected, Xavier saved himself. You really can't blame the guy. Even if you know you're safe, never not use the veto you won to take yourself off the block. If you don't use it ... well, just remember Marcellas.

Also as expected, SarahBeth put Derek X up as the renom. It's a shame he didn't try for the High Rollers this week. 

BB23: Live Feeds into Monday - August 23

 

He seemed to start out trustworthy

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Backstabbing Badgers:

• Ho-hum, it was a Sunday yesterday. No comps, no official meetings.
• Today will be the veto meeting.
• Although he would be safe with the Cookout behind him, Xavier is sure to remove himself from the block with the veto he won.
• Technically, he was never really nominated by the HOH and was only nominated due to the spin of a wheel.
• In the veto he did get punishments for the win, though. He lost his BB Bucks and must spend Wednesday night in solitary getting released just before the vote. He also has to the the third nominee for two weeks. If he wins HOH next week, he's third the week after. If he wins veto and saves himself as third, he won't be replaced.
• Derek F got $7.500 and extra BB Bucks in the veto comp.
• I'm not sure of anything anyone else got. 
• Hannah has gone to SarahBeth more than once offering to go up as a pawn so she doesn't nominate Derek X in Xavier's place.
• Derek X has more than once told SarahBeth that he was never after her and she should talk to Kyland -- Kyland has always trusted him and he trusts Kyland.
• Um. We know how that goes.
• Meanwhile, Kyland kept steering SarahBeth to put up Derek X in Xavier's place. After all, Derek X is the most dangerous to both their games.
• Yup.
• That's how things are going.
• They did get the backyard and a late booze delivery.
• And, the house separated with both a boys night and girls night.
• Then they merged for a hamsters night.
• A good time was had by all.
• Well, I did notice Derek X looking sad every now and then.
• As he probably should.

Will she ever win a comp?

Fearing his talk with SarahBeth is futile

Little does she know, she cannot trust Kyland

Bucket hat of the day

Are things looking up for Claire this week?

Azah in her usual position

Apparently has a fan base

BB23: High Rollers, Nominations Show Blog Party - August 22

 

Good evening! I'm preparing this ahead and I'm not sure if the show will even air here as the television has been All Henri All the Time All Day. Yes, there has been a ton of rain and it's still raining here in NJ just outside NYC. But, unlike Sandy which was all about the wind, Henri is about the rain. I personally haven't been affected as I haven't had to go out and don't even live on the ground floor.

Anyway ... hopefully, as the show airs I will be updating this entry with the major happenings. Refresh the page to get the latest news. As always, the real party is in the comments area. Please feel free to join in on the fun!

And, YES! They stopped the storm coverage and the show is ON! Sitting through "Previously on..."

We pick up the action after the HOH. SarahBeth brags to the Diary Room about her HOH win. The edit has Derek F happy about still being there (although he knew he was a pawn) and happier about the kiss from Kyland. People, other than Kyland, are a bit worried about the nominations SB will make. He tells us he has to steer her away from Cookout members without saying such.

Azah is crying over Britini. If not for the Cookout, she would have been her final two choice. Tiffany is not happy with the SarahBeth win. After all, she's been trying to get SB on the block!

Derek F is tired of losing. Um. Well. It actually could have been predicted in a physical comp when you consider the competition. Xavier feels safe with SarahBeth as HOH. Derek X is pretty sure SB will go after him as he nominated her.

The High Rollers comp available is the Chopping Block Roulette. The winner saves someone off the block and spins the roulette wheel to name the re-nomination. Pure chance!

Derek F tries to mend fences with Tiffany. She says they aren't on two different pages, they're reading two different books. I like that! She is NOT making this easy for him! Heh.

Kyland and SB talk. She tells him that she trusts Claire and Tiffany, but isn't sure about Alyssa, Xavier or Derek X. Of course, he feels he has to try to sway her away from nominating Xavier. She wants the Chopping Block Roulette used this week. 

She talks to the others one-on-one. Alyssa agrees and actually wants to play but lets SarahBeth think she's playing it for her. Claire cannot afford it as she spent last week. Derek X says he's willing but would prefer to save for next week's Coin of Destiny. Derek F won't be playing as he doesn't want SB to know he got the $100 BB Bucks last week.

Derek X wonders to Claire and Tiffany about who Azah might be working with. It turns out he was just trying for a reaction from Tiffany. He thinks Xavier is working with Tiffany and it seems to be dawning on him about the Cookout. Meanwhile, Azah is really worried about SarahBeth while Derek F is just given to fate.

SarahBeth tells Kyland that everyone is after them. She mentions Alyssa. Kyland tells us the biggest threat to the Cookout is Derek X. He steers her away from Xavier. Kyland suggests Derek X on the block but she thinks he would be a backdoor. She wants to set up the initial nominations so she can get him. Two pawns on the block. She's thinking Xavier and Claire.

Time for the Nominations. SarahBeth nominates Derek F, then Claire. She says it's because it's a complicated week, not personal, respects both as players and friends. She tells us neither is her target, but she wants Derek X. Tiffany doesn't want Claire to go just yet but has no BB Bucks to take a chance to save her. Hannah tells Derek X that she doesn't think he's a target. But she doesn't want two Cookout members up.

High Rollers is open -- Claire $100 but cannot afford to play / Azah $50 cannot afford / Hannah $75 saves for next week / Xavier $75 saves / SarahBeth $50 cannot afford / Tiffany $50 Cannot afford / Alyssa $75 plays game of balance and skill standing on a disk rolling a ball around the edge judged by laps around - she got 19 / Kyland $50 cannot afford / Derek F $100 saves it / (Kyland tells Derek X he shouldn't play) Derek X $100 saves it for Coin of Destiny. (Sigh)

Only the winner's name is revealed -- Alyssa (only one who played, but they don't know that). She takes Derek F down. She does not want to land on Xavier with the roulette wheel. She spins the wheel ... Xavier is on the block with Claire! Alyssa feels terrible that she put her best ally on the block. She had no clue about the Cookout and isn't a part of it.

BB23: Live Feeds Veto Bulletin - August 24

 

The feeds were blocked this morning (their time, I call it afternoon here!) for the veto players pick.

Just to remind you -- HOH SarahBethKy nominated Claire and Derek F with a backdoor possibility of Derek X. Alyssa won the High Rollers and removed Derek F from the block, then spun the roulette wheel. It landed on Xavier. So, it's Claire and Xavier on the block.

Playing for veto along with SarahBeth, Claire and Xavier are Alyssa, Azah and Derek F.

After way too many hours of blocked feeds, Xavier won the veto.

Goodbye Derek X?

BB23: Live Feeds, Nominations, High Rollers Friday - Aug. 20

 

I won't listen to Kyland, talks all night to Kyland.

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

• It's Friday. Between nominations and the High Rollers twist, we had a lot of blocked live feeds.
• As could be predicted, Kyland had a lot of influence on SarahBeth's HOH ... even though she claimed he wouldn't.
• The nominations were as I mentioned she was planning in my last update -- Derek F and Claire.
• Both of them would basically be pawns as it's really a backdoor plan with Derek X as the target.
• SarahBeth had promised Claire that she would take her off if she wins veto.
• Then, the High Rolllers Room opened.
• This week cost $125, so it's likely some could not afford it.
• The winner of the game removes someone from the block and then it's up to the spin of a roulette wheel who will be the renom.
• Alyssa won that, took Derek F off the block.
• Say what?
• You heard me. She took Derek F off the block.
• The spin of the roulette wheel and it's ... Xavier.
• So, it's Xavier and Claire on the block.
• We all know Xavier has the Cookout voting block behind him.
• Claire does not know (although she has suspected) about the Cookout, thinks she might actually have a chance if the nominations remain the same.
• She doesn't.
• Nope, no chance. The only way a Cookout member will go home is if two are on the block at the same time.
• Claire is also aware and has warned Derek X that this is probably a scheme to backdoor him this week.
• The only way both Derek X and Claire can make it through the week is if Derek X wins veto and takes Claire off the block. 
• If Claire wins veto and saves herself or anyone else wins and saves her (or Xavier), Derek X will go up.
• Since SarahBethKyland is unsure that Derek X would be evicted if he were to sit next to Claire, they would want him sitting next to Xavier.
• Unfortunately, the writing is on the wall anyway.
• No way will a non-Cookout member win the show this season even if one makes it to the final two.
• The likelihood of two non-Cookout members in the final two is just about nil.
• The jury will have five Cookout votes if only one of them make it to the final two.
• Veto plays out tomorrow. We'll see what happens.

Things not looking up for our hero

Can't actually think she can win against Xavier!
Really?
