BB23: Power of Veto Blog Party - Sept. 1

 

I apologize for my absence the last few days. I have had a double whammy of health and technical issues. I'm not going to be able to live blog tonight's show. So, if folks could do updates in the comments section, it would be appreciated. Please no spoiler comments as it is about the show. I should be back up and running for tomorrow's eviction show. Thank you for your patience!

BB23: Nominations / High Rollers Show Blog Party - Aug. 29

 

Good evening, all! I hope those in the path of Ida are safe and I'm thinking of all y'all. Here in the NYC area we will have our weather affected by it later in the week, but nothing like a full-fledged hurricane hit. 

Tonight's show should be starting about eight minutes late due to football. I'm putting this post up at the usual time but can't really start blogging it until it starts. So, it's not me. It's them.

I ask folks to remember this is a show post meaning it's a NO SPOILERS ZONE. Yeah, I know the Power of Veto comp is already said and done on the live feeds and in reality, as well as all the content of tonight's aired show. However some people who follow the show posts don't follow the live feeds. Please respect them (as well as me). On another note, I also ask that you respect your fellow commenters. While the hamsters in the house put themselves in the public eye, people are allowed to like whomever they wish on the show without being demeaned by others. So, don't go there. Thank you.

Once the show starts here, I'll be live-blogging the major happenings and constantly updating this entry. Please refresh the page to get the latest news! As always, the real party is in the comments area. I hope to see you there!

Here we are ... in the Previously On segment. We pick up the action after Tiffany's HOH win. She is beside herself about it. She tells us she decided it wasn't worth her game to save Derek X although she really wanted to. Claire, Azah, Hannah and Tiffany celebrate with a happy dance in the storage room.

Kyland feels terrible for betraying Derek X's trust. He tells us that Derek was his own biggest threat in the game ... but he is sad about it. Sarah Beth is upset because Derek put her on blast in his speech. She's worried about Tiffany being HOH. She thinks she and Kyland have a new alliance called the Monarchy with Alyssa and Xavier. Yeah, right.

Xavier is acting upset about his forced third nominee role but knows he's safe because of the Cookout.

Tiffany tells us Kyland should be expecting to go on the block with Sarah Beth as he was the one before who said they needed to target the duos. 

Hannah feels guilty for taking part in sending Derek X home. Tiffany tries to console her. She tells her Derek is a great person and will still be her friend. Hannah cries. She's rather inconsolable.

Tiffany seems to be doing her one on one meetings. She's with Derek F now. She wants him to go for the High Rollers win as she knows he has the money. She tells him she wants him to trust her. He tells us he doesn't trust her -- if not for the Cookout, she would be gone.

She talks to the rather infamous SarahBeth next. SB implies that she will have the money to pay to play the Coin of Destiny in High Rollers. Tiffany tells her that getting DX out crippled her game. SB acts like she supports Tiffany and just didn't know.

Who wants to see my HOH room? Huh. They haven't been showing much of these this season. Derek is a bit ridiculous in his joy over her Beyonce music received.

SarahBeth goes back to Tiffany. She wants Tiffany to look at others instead of herself and Kyland for the block. She throws Alyssa under the bus. Tiffany plays along but is indeed seeming to take SB's talk into consideration.

Time for nominations. Xavier is mentioned first as the third nominee. Tiffany first nominates Kyland, then SarahBeth. She tells them because they are a very powerful duo and she needs to excel her own personal game. She tells us that SarahBeth is her target. Alyssa is on her list but for later.

SarahBeth runs to Tiffany once again. Tiffany acts like Kyland is her target instead of SB. (Lies!) 

High Rollers room opens! This is the last time. $250 BB Bucks for Coin of Destiny. Flip a coin, new HOH with new nominations for the winner, Tiffany is safe no matter what, results are secret. If dethroned, Tiff can play for HOH this coming week, the new HOH cannot win HOH this coming week.

Azah - Had received 50, envelope 50 only has 200 total, not enough

Xavier - 75 not enough

Alyssa - Not enough

Hannah - Received 100, got 50, can play. Declines

Tiffany - Received 100, not enough

SarahBeth - Received 50, in envelope 100, not enough

Derek - Received 75, 100 in envelope, has enough 425. Plays. Rolls coins highest score at the end of two minutes wins. He throws the comp with a score of one.

Claire - Received 100, got 50 in envelope. Has just enough to play. She rolls fast and furious. She has one in and we break for commercial. Back. She scores again! And again! Has three!

All are called to the dining room (as if they have one). A voice announces a winner. Tiffany has to flip a coin. Heads or tails. The HR Room winner has chosen heads. Tiffany flips it ... gets heads, she has been dethroned.

The new HOH will make new nominations. Kyland and SB's photos disappear from the nominations panel. Xavier remains as third. Well, new HOH has nominated Kyland, then SarahBeth.

Tiffany is no longer HOH. Claire is secret HOH. On the block are SarahBeth, Kyland and Xavier.

BB23: Live Feeds Power of Veto Update - August 28

 

How adorable!

The feeds were blocked for an eternity! Okay, perhaps hours instead of an eternity. I guess I exaggerate. However, by the time they returned, it had really been hours.

HANNAH won the Power of Veto!

Look what I won!

BB23: Live Feeds into Saturday - August 28

 

Still oblivious to her destiny

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Misfit Mice:

• Tiffany's HOH reign was short-lived as were her robe, photos and goodies.
• Apparently NO ONE gets the room as the HOH won in the Coin of Destiny High Rollers Room is secret.
• Shhh ...
• Don't tell anyone.
• But Tiffany, Hannah and Azah all know and celebrated with Claire for winning it.
• And Tiffany told Derek F and Xavier that Claire won it but she is telling Kyland and SarahBeth she won it.
• We'll see how long that secret lasts!
• It seems the three women received the most BB Bucks from America voters this week -- Tiffany, Claire and Hannah.
• That's the only way they could afford to play.
• Xavier had his Bucks taken away as one of the three punishments in his veto win. So, he couldn't play. Alyssa, Kyland and SarahBeth couldn't afford the $250 BB Bucks to play.
• Azah may or may not have played. I'm not sure. Since she didn't win, I don't care!
• Claire let the nominations remain the same or named the same ones -- Kyland and SarahBeth.
• With Xavier there no matter who is HOH (other than himself), the three nominations stand at Kyland, SarahBeth and Xavier.
• I don't feel too bad about being confused about the Coin of Destiny Secret HOH stuff as Claire herself is confused.
• It seems that Tiffany and Claire can both play for HOH this week, but CLAIRE needs to throw the comp and cannot win. Apparently that's to keep up the "secret" even though most of the house knows.
• It seems that if either Kyland or SarahBeth get saved with the veto, it's CLAIRE who will make the replacement. However, that will have to be done in the Diary Room to maintain the secret ... I guess.
• I guess Claire doesn't even get a basket and photos at all.
• I'm sure that if Claire has to put up a renom, it will be Alyssa. If not for her alliance with Tiffany I think she would have targeted Alyssa in the first place.
• Of course, if Xavier gets saved ... there is NO replacement and it would be the regular two nominations for eviction.
• Azah has finally had an epiphany! She now realizes that her crush on Xavier is bound to be forever unrequited.
• Good. She was starting to look foolish about it.
• The Cookout celebrated getting this far in the house.
• However, Hannah was having a few regrets. She told Tiffany she wanted to narrate her own agenda, not a group one.
• Both Tiffany and Hannah have lamented that they personally like some non-Cookout people more than those they made that promise not to target so many weeks back.
• But their cause remains. The game will become a very singular one before long. I think we will see the women against the men before it's one, though.
• Tiffany will not be playing for veto as she was overthrown from HOH.
• Claire will not play for veto as the HOH because her reign is a secret.
• Shh.
• The veto players were picked.
• In addition to Xavier, Kyland and SarahBeth, these names were drawn: Alyssa, Claire and Hannah.
• Laters!

Studying the faces in case it's the face comp

Not talking in her "silly" voice so much now!

Angry he didn't win the Coin of Destiny

BB23: After High Rollers Live Feeds Bulletin - Aug. 27

 

The feeds were blocked for several hours while they did the High Rollers room. Remember, every one of them had to go in and see how much they had won during the last comp. So, it was forever. I still don't know who played or won. Or, even if anyone won.

I do know that SarahBeth and Kyland are still on the block. I believe Xavier is still there as well. But whether he is there or not, isn't really all that important.

It sounds like Claire won the Coin of Destiny in the High Rollers. I don't know if she gets to take over the room or not. But that does help explain the noms remaining the same. Xavier, SarahBeth and Kyland up for eviction.

Veto tomorrow.
