And there we stand now ... what will the comp be and who will be HOH after Hannah? Since this is indeed a show post it is a NO SPOILERS ZONE. I understand many of us already know who won HOH and even won POV, but until they show it on the aired show, please don't spoil it for those who only watch the show. Thank you!
I will be live blogging, updating this entry with the major happenings as the show airs here on the East Coast. Refresh the page to get the latest update! As always, the real party is in the comments area -- please feel free to join in on the fun!
Starting a few minutes behind its scheduled 8:30PM EDT start time tonight, but it's now on. Let's do something different and sit through the "previously on" segment. Oh? We do that for every show? well, let's not break the routine then!
Okay, they need to celebrate the Cookout win and its show history making moment which will make a Black winner for the first time.
They are still in previous mode but really expanding on Kyland freaking out over being the replacement nominee.
Tiffany is telling Kyland that she didn't know that Hannah was putting him on the block and she had told Hannah not to do it. (She really did tell her not to put him up.) She then talks to Xavier. She talks about hard it was putting Claire up. They decide everybody is a threat. She tells us that Xavier is a huge threat and needs to go. Xavier tells us he loves her but he just might "take that shot first."
Hannah tries to make good with Kyland. He tells us he's okay with it but not willing to work with her long term. Derek and Xavier talk -- Derek wants Tiffany out and tells him to throw the comp to him. He says if she comes down, he will put up Kyland.
Kyland talks to Xavier and makes good with him. Kyland tells us he only wants to go to the end with the best and that would be Xavier. Xavier tells us he will work with Kyland because having a strong competitor working with you is good. They establish a final two called The Gentlemen.
Time for the HOH comp. They are trapped by the evil supervillain the Cluckster. They are behind large mesh chicken wire, must retrieve eggs, put them through a maze and roll them down a ramp to knock down a lever to escape.
Derek is the first one to get one egg down -- they need three. Kyland next. Kyland gets a second one and is in the lead. Xavier gets one. Derek gets his next one and ties with Kyland. Kyland tells us he was willing to let Derek win as he doesn't think he would target him. Azah gets her first one. Kyland tells us he doesn't want to wait any longer for Derek to win and goes for it.
KYLAND wins HOH. Derek is "bummed" once again.
Kyland feels a bit overwhelmed with the win. Tiffany feels good because she has an agreement to work with Kyland in the game. Hannah also feels good. Derek whines. He wants to be a threat in the game. BWAHAHHA! Kyland consoles him and promises him he has nothing to worry about. Xavier feels secure as he just made the deal with Kyland.
Tiffany talks to Kyland, she wants him to realize that Xavier will win if he moves forward with him. She wants him to stick with the deal she, he and Hannah has. She thinks Derek should go first. She wants to compete against Kyland at the end but feels she would lose. Her position is that Xavier will win no matter what. Kyland tells us he thinks she is strong competitor and would be hard to beat.
Hannah pleads her case. She will vote his way if not on the block. "What if you go up and I can promise you won't go home?" She feels he's testing her trust in Tiffany. Like Tiffany, she talks about Xavier being such a big threat.
Kyland tells us he has to draw lines in the sand. It will break hearts, his included.
Time for the nominations ceremony. He first nominates Tiffany, then Hannah. He says it's due to a loss of trust and Hannah is up there due to the fact she would save Tiffany if she won the veto. He feels Tiffany has betrayed him.
