Good evening! I'm still not 100% here and now rather storm-ravaged on top of things. (Yes, I live in New Jersey in the NYC Greater Metro area and we got hit hard with the remnants of Ida.) I will try my best to keep up with things tonight. There is supposed to be an endurance HOH comp, so I will be covering that in a separate live feeds post after tonight's aired show.
First off ... I would like to thank JonMD1267 for providing running updates here last night during the show. Amazing work! Thank you so much!
I will be updating this entry the best I can as the show airs here on the East Coast. Refresh the page to get the latest updates! As always, the real party is in the comments area -- please feel free to join in on the fun!

**********************************
Sitting through the "previously on" segment. Ohh, we get a bit of Britini and Derek X tonight! Oh my, Julie has a tight little black dress on! She tells us the week was crazy and had nothing to do with the game. Hmm. To me, all has to do with the game! Sure enough, the segment is about SarahBeth and Kyland on the block.
Alyssa and Claire, in front of Xavier, mention that Claire is actually the only white person left. "Is there an alliance we don't know about?" Xavier is shocked Alyssa brought it up -- Alyssa is his "person."
Bee in the backyard drama causing Hannah to fall from the hammock and hurt herself. She fell because Derek F jumped out to escape from the bee (which they call a beetle?). Sure looked like a bee to me! Then the smoke alarm is going off in the kitchen because they forgot to watch cooking food.
The Cookout randomly meets up in the bathroom wondering why no one else in the house has caught onto them. Xavier tells us he's proud of the Cookout but only one can win and that will be him.
Xavier, Kyland and Derek F think the women need to go. Xavier can actually see either them or going with Hannah and Tiffany. Kyland doesn't trust Derek F. Derek F thinks he can win with either of the guys in a final two. Tiffany schemes with Kyland to target Xavier and Derek X. Kyland isn't quite sure which one he trusts. Tiffany tells us that she plans to be in the final two with Chadda (Hannah).
Jury segment with Derek X and Britini. The Lord of the Latrine has arrived. Hugs go on, thankfully not tears. The HOH, nominations and eviction play for them. Derek tells Britini about Kyland's goodbye message about working with a group. Britini figures it out about duos, then Derek catches on.
To the living room:
SB - Reasonable tactical reasons to keep her, knows what it's like to make a decision and regret it.
Kyland - Shout-outs. Great one on one conversations. I talk a lot. Nothing bad to say about SB.
The votes to evict:
Derek F - to evote SB
Claire - Vote only counts in a tie - SB
Alyssa - SB
Tiffany - Kyland sympathy vote
Azah - SB
Hannah - SB
Xavier - SB
No surprises for us or her. Hugs. She loves them. Yeah. Sure. She thinks she was evicted because she was a bigger threat than Kyland. Ha. She knew Tiff gave her the vote. Kyland also knew and told her. Goodbye messages -- Claire admits to being secret HOH. Azah and Kyland hint at the Cookout.
Claire will compete but has to throw the comp. So, it's the Cookout versus Alyssa. Tiffany can play. The circus -- the Flying BBeano on suspended disks on a carousel, spin, slam into Bubbles the elephant. First three out will be Have Nots. Derek F is having problems before it even starts! The elephant has bubbles coming from its "booty."
Heh. Commercial block ended and Derek is already down.
Zingbot next week, double eviction two weeks in a row.
Julie tells Derek he looks relaxed. I think he looks angry. Alyssa down? Hmm.
I have a separate post to cover this from the live feeds. See you there!
