BB23: Live Feeds HOH Bulletin - Sept. 9/10

 

We have a new HOH in the house. Of course, the HOH comp was blocked to the live feeds. However, the feeds have returned and ...

KYLAND IS THE NEW HOH.

Derek is fussing that he should have won. It sounds like it might have been the working eggs up through chicken wire comp or something very similar, maybe putting eggs in chutes? It had to do with eggs!

Uh-oh. He's talking to us. He didn't want to win this comp and feels he's pressured to go after the girls. He doesn't know how much he can trust Xavier. He does want to win veto. He seems to be leaning towards Hannah as a target. 

BB23: Live Double Eviction Show Blog Party - Sept. 9

 

Well, it's the big double eviction show tonight. Hmm ... I guess the real big double eviction is next Thursday as that's scheduled for two hours. Tonight's show is only an hour. We know that either Claire or Xavier will go home in the first eviction. Heck, we could probably even predict which one of those two will go! But the second eviction will depend on HOH. It should be interesting!

I will be live blogging and constantly updating this entry with the major happenings as the show airs here on the East Coast. 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!

But first -- Lifeguard SueGee has updated the blog pool (she rocks like that, y'know). Here's where we stand going into the show tonight:

Azah Awasum - Dr Celine, Krysta Gibson, Nickelpeed, Rbennie

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

Hmm ... I'm not sure I like Julie's poofy short summery dress. It's shapeless, has wide pleats and looks boxy. Pardon me while I sit through the "previously on" segment.

Julie tells us nobody seems to be safe. Alyssa thinks that Tiffany was so bold in putting Claire on the block, so sure that Xavier would go out. She is SO wrong. SO clueless. 

Azah tells Xavier that if Alyssa wins HOH she wants Kyland out and Derek told him Tiffany. Alyssa has an epiphany ... "If Claire goes home, all seven last ones are minorities." Again, clueless. It's not dawning on her that everyone else would be Black.

Hannah tells Azah that she should vote to keep Claire and they could blame it on Kyland. Alyssa thinks it might be a double.

To the living room --

She tells them it is a double eviction. They don't act shocked.

Xavier - Shout outs, HG keeping me benefits your game. 

Claire - Shout outs, HG loss for words, sitting next to loyal and trustworthy X, he will win.

The votes to evict are:

Alyssa - Claire

Hannah - Xavier

Derek F - Says it right for once! Claire

Azah - Claire

Kyland - Claire

Many wished Christian a happy birthday. I believe that's Tiffany's son, not the Christian who was on the show.

Claire said she will give all hugs on the finale night and practically runs out. Polite enough, but ...! She tells Julie she is not mad at Tiffany. 

First HOH comp of the night ... Julie reminds us it's everyone versus Alyssa. BB Comics Week -- all week comics comps. Crash Boom Pow, shown images based on the words, seven questions about about them.

1. Derek obviously threw this one, all the rest right.

2. All right except Azah

3. Azah and Alyssa wrong

4. Derek and Hannah right

5. Azah and Kyland right (Hannah and Kyland are tied for lead)

6. Hannah and Alyssa right (Hannah leading now)

7. HANNAH WINS HOH!!!

She "meets" with all but only really talks to Alyssa telling her that her target is Xavier but she needs to put her (Alyssa) up with him to keep her from voting to keep him. She says Claire was right that he was the biggest competition in the game. Pawn, eh? Alyssa asks if she will go home. Why, of course not.

Hannah nominates Xavier and Alyssa, strong duo and Claire was right, Xavier ... you're a big threat.

POV Comp -- Kyland sits out by random draw. Logo, Let's Go. Race to complete BB logo puzzle. Reminds me of what's-her-name's six piece puzzle she couldn't get.

XAVIER WINS THE POWER OF VETO!

Veto meeting time. Xavier saves himself as he plays along with being the "target." Hannah puts Kyland on the block in his place.

Live vote and eviction --

Kyland - Respect decision of all for your game

Alyssa - Talks about how she doesn't have jury votes and Kyland is more of a threat.

The votes to evict:

Azah - Alyssa

Tiffany - Alyssa

Xavier - Kyland

Derek - Alyssa

All as planned and the Cookout makes it to final six. She does do hugs. Xavier cries for the camera and the Cookout holds off celebrating until they know the feed is off. Alyssa remains clueless about the Cookout in her talk with Julie. She still thinks it's all about the original teams.

BB23: Live Feeds into Thursday Morning - Sept. 9

 

I'm sorry. Mouse ears hair styles shouldn't
be worn by anyone over 10, IMO.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Pained Penguins:

• Once again I have little to report on today.
• Kyland let Claire know he wouldn't be voting for her to stay.
• At least he was honest with her.
• However, that was the final nail in the casket as far as she is concerned.
• She now knows she will be voted out.
• She and Tiffany want her to blow up Xavier's game in her speech.
• If nothing else, Claire wants them to realize how Xavier has just been sliding on by and directing things and will win the jury vote.
• While Claire understands the goal of having the first Black winner, she is oblivious to the fact that it's an actual named alliance. She thinks (because she's been told) that it's just more along the lines of an agreement between the Black hamsters.
• Well, actually it did start out that way.
• And now it's to the point that none of the six can play their own game for themselves.
• Hmm.
• I really don't have much more for you.
• Tonight is the double eviction.
• Be there or be square.

At least she had some fun moments.

Cook, clean, laze about and act
like you're running things. Got it.

If not next, you're next to next. You're soon.
Be worried.

BB23: Power of Veto Show Blog Party - Sept. 8

 

Good evening! Welcome to the party! Tonight's show is promised to feature the return of ZingBot. Oh, joy. I personally don't care for ZingBot as I often have a hard time hearing exactly what he's trying to say as the voice used is so whack. So, if I can't gather all the zings for tonight's post, I apologize.

I will be live-blogging and updating this entry with the major events as the show airs here on the East Coast. Refresh the page to get the latest news! As this is a show post, it's a NO SPOILERS ZONE until aired on the show, please! The real party is in the comments area. You're all invited to join in on the fun!

Sitting through the "Previously on" segment.

We pick up the action as the Nominations Ceremony adjourns. Tiffany says to us that Alyssa will head out the door. Alyssa thinks she and Xavier were nominated because they are so strong. She has no idea that she is the actual target. Xavier is mad, whining about being on the block for a third time ... again.

Xavier is acting like he is the target to Alyssa. He once again fusses that Tiffany and Claire should be on the block, not him and Alyssa. Tiffany tells us that she does not want Alyssa to come off the block because then she would have to choose between Claire and the Cookout. Derek lies to Alyssa telling her he would use the veto to save her if he wins it. (Like he wins so many comps!)

Xavier complains to Derek that he's been throwing comps and making sacrifices, being such a team player. He tells him that he would save Alyssa instead of himself if he wins veto. Derek is worried that he himself would be put on the block as a renom.

A segment on Azah's singing -- her own songs, nothing copyrighted. The singing has been fun on the live feeds this season and I'm glad they're showing a bit of it.

Time to pick players for the veto comp. Tiffany draws Houseguest's Choice and goes for Hannah. Xavier draws Derek. Alyssa draws Azah. Derek tells us if he wins he will keep noms the same.

ZingBot arrives and tells them to go to the backyard. He's up on the ledge. He calls them a bunch of losers. Alyssa -- From FL, the sunshine state but you're so dim. Xavier -- reveal your secret you have a crush ... on yourself. Cracks on Tiffany for being old. Bigfoot comment for Claire. Hannah -- Knock knock who's there? Hannah who. Exactly. Big D - Big mark on the house ... in the toilet. Predicts Xavier will never go on a date with Azah. Kyland -- listening to you talk is like sitting by an endless babbling brook.

ZingBot is now a Zingfluencer and has an online platform. They have to help him go viral. Zingstagram challenge stacking micro-cocktails in a pyramid using tweezers. They have to do it from outside a dollhouse-like structure. We've seen similar comps in the past. Kyland and Claire are watching on the living room monitor.

ALYSSA WINS THE POWER OF VETO! She gets a tiny veto bracelet instead of the usual necklace. Tiffany is upset. Xavier is gleeful and smug.

Derek is once again bummed he didn't win. Xavier remains smug. Derek is worried that a Cookout person will go up, especially the "boys" in danger -- him, Kyland. Xavier is going on about how she has lost jury votes.

Tiffany feels she has to tell Claire and tells Hannah. She tells us her personal game choice would be to keep Claire. She has to tell her that she will be using her as a replacement without completely misleading her or endangering anyone else (Cookout). Xavier doesn't like the idea of how Tiffany would be all but exposing the Cookout. He fears Alyssa will catch on and target him.

Yes, it's all about Xavier, y'know. Did you know he's been on the block three weeks in a row? (Once by a roulette wheel spin by his precious Alyssa who was originally with Christian and once his OWN CHOICE because he wanted to win a veto he didn't need to win!)

Tiffany tells us she respects Claire and wants to be as honest with Claire as she can without exposing the Cookout. She lists the Cookout members by each saying she doesn't want to send them out and Claire guesses that she will be put on the block. Tiffany cries. She is hinting that it's not sending a Black person home. Claire cries. They both cry. I'm ready to cry. Claire says in the DR to us that she understands that Tiffany doesn't want to be part of the long BB tradition of sending people of color out the door.

Time for the veto meeting. Alyssa saves herself. Tiffany replaces her with Claire. Sigh.
