BB23: Power of Veto Show Blog Party - Sept. 15

 

Good evening! Are you ready for superheroes? According to the promos, it will be the BB Comics veto comp, always a classic. I wonder how Derek will make it through this one. Will he give up? Will he fuss because none of these comps are made for him? Or ... will they make some sort of adjustment just for him? If they do and he wins, would that be fair for all? Ah, the questions.

Of course, many live feed watchers already know what happens. But, since this is a show post, it's a NO SPOILERS ZONE. If it hasn't aired on the show, please don't comment about it!

I'll be live blogging, updating this entry with the major happenings as they air on the show 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! Just an added note, the Survivor 41 blog pool sign up post is up -- please go to that post to sign up!

Sitting out the Previously On segment as the Cookout celebrates making it to the final six and dealing and scheming ensue.

We pick up the action after the nomination ceremony putting Tiffany and Hannah on the block. Tiffany is the target and is now feeling betrayed ... as she should! Derek is celebrating. That disgusts me when he's done absolutely nothing in the game and is only in the house due to a famous father. At least Tiffany has PLAYED the game.

Kyland tells Hannah she's not the target. Kyland agrees that she was up there because she would have saved Tiffany if she could. He lets it slip that he is working with Xavier. She is sure he would lose to him at the end ... and he would/will.

Derek feels this part of the game is tough. @@ Xavier feels his chances with the guys are better than with the girls. I usually don't get this irked at the hamsters. But Derek's sense of entitlement is wearing on my last nerve and both Xavier and Kyland are enabling him.

Hannah and Tiffany want Azah to win the veto to keep the women safe. Now, she has done just about as much as Derek this season albeit much nicer about things. I don't think I'd want to hitch my wagon on that star!

Hannah talks to Azah and tries to paint the woeful picture of the men taking over the game. Azah says for her own game, she needs to win. Um. Okaaay. Azah tells us she is torn between working with the women or sticking with Derek and Xavier.

ARGH. THEY ARE BREAKING INTO THE SHOW WITH THE SPACE NEWS!!!

Ah, thankfully that was short. I hope it stays away until after the show ends!

BB Comics veto time! Derek is up first. Good, he is on a zipline. For those who don't know, they have to line up the comics and determine the differences between the comics themselves. Kyland is up next. He seems to do well. Azah up. She has more trouble with the differences. Xavier now. He's not doing so well with it. We don't see him finish. Did he time out? Tiffany up now. She seemed to do okay, but no end for her either. Hannah up. She gets it right the first time she hits the bell.

Derek 14.5
Hannah 14.6
Xavier 20.56
Tiffany 40.0 timed out
Azah 20.22
Kyland 11.44

Kyland wins the Power of Veto! 

They pose for photos. Kyland talks to Xavier about who might win next week. Kyland thinks Derek could always be used as a pawn. Xavier lists the women as going. He wants the noms to remain the same.

Tiffany tries to talk to Kyland and regain his trust. She tries to guilt trip him. She tells us that if she gets to final two with him, she thinks she can beat him. He says he believes her. He tells us the offer is enticing. He doesn't think he can really trust her to be loyal, though.

Then Hannah talks to him. She tells us she will offer him whatever she can hoping he'll pull her off the block and maybe they could even keep Tiffany. She promises him she will back him. He tells us he isn't sure he can trust her to vote Tiffany out.

Time for the veto meeting. Kyland does NOT use the veto. The nominations remain Tiffany and Hannah.

Survivor 41: Blog Pool Opens! Plus Cast Info!

Survivor 41 premieres next Wednesday, September 22, with a two-hour show starting at 8PM ET/PT. Yes, BB23 is pushed back to 10PM ET/PT that night and its finale is the next Wednesday, September 29th.

The Lovely Lifeguard Laurie has once again graciously offered to run the blog pool for the show. She, but of course, rocks!

I want in! What do I do?

If you want in to the blog pool, you need to sign up in the comments of this post and this post only! Please don't try signing up on any other posts -- we might miss your comment.

Is there money involved in this?

Of course not! You needn't pay anything to get into the pool. You don't need to buy a pool pass or anything! Mind you, you don't win any money either. What you do win is bragging rights until the next season and the smugness that goes with it.

How does it work?

Lifeguard Laurie makes random picks for the castaways and the blog folks. You cheer on that castaway all season until they either win or get their torch snuffed along the way.

When is the cut-off for entering?

All pool requests must be in comments to this here post ONLY and submitted by Tuesday, September 21, 3pm ET. Be there or be square.

So ... who are these castaways? We have three tribes.

BB23: Live Feeds into Tuesday Evening - Sept. 14

 

Why is he still there? Cookout needs deadwood?

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Angry Ants:

• Once again I don't have a heck of a lot for you.
• Both Hannah and Tiffany have been making the rounds each campaigning for their own safety.
• Hannah has been told that she's not the target.
• And she went ahead and threw Tiffany under the bus to each of them.
• Tiffany threw Kyland under the bus to Xavier.
• And so on and so forth.
• If you can't tell, I've really been irked at both Kyland and Xavier.
• Both keep saying how they want to play at the end with true good competitors.
• Yet they both continue to let the floaters, non-comp winning duo remain.
• Now, I do like Azah. As a person, she's entertaining and a good soul.
• As a BB player? Um. No.
• Then there's Derek F, someone who would never have been able to get on the show if not for his famous father. He can get outright nasty, more so than anyone else in the house. He whines and fusses about the comps not being ones he could win. He has actually said an eating contest and a strength contest would suit him.
• He needs to go, followed by Azah.
• Let four real game players play out the final four.
• But I don't believe we will see that happen.
• For sure we won't as it's Hannah and Tiffany on the block.
• I don't think Tiffany convinced Xavier that Kyland plans on betraying him.
• So, instead of ridding itself of deadwood, it looks like Tiffany, someone who really played hard this season, will walk out the door.
• Sigh.

Threw Tiffany under the bus to all.

Tiffany tries to talk Xavier into keeping her.

More deadwood but at least
more pleasant deadwood.

He claims he wants to play with competitors

Survivor 41: Meet the Cast Videos

Nah, I haven't given up on BB23 ... yet. I'm just waiting for more content, some kind of content, before I make my next live feeds post!

In the meantime, let's talk Survivor 41. Yes, that is what the season is called. No themes, just the number. They play for less than the standard 39 days, as well. I believe it's 26 days. The promos have the game being more brutal. And the CBS new diversity standards means more of a mix of people ... with the exception of an age mix, of course. However, if the game is to be a brutal as the promos claim, it's best to sacrifice the young. Heh.

Here are some cast videos I found:

 

BB23: Live Feeds Power of Veto Meeting Update - Sept. 13

 

Um, no. Just no.

Kyland held way too long and way too "talky" one on one meetings. I just couldn't sit through them all. I sat through enough to see that Hannah was more than willing to throw her buddy Tiffany under the bus -- she ain't no Claire! Not only that, she promised the world. Now if she gets taken off the block, those things are good. But if she remains there but is not the target, she sold her soul for absolutely nothing.

Tifffany did her best, having her own one on one apology rounds.

She hung out with Kyland.

Yet, when the veto meeting came 'round ...

Kyland did not use the veto. The nominations remain Tiffany and Hannah. The target remains Tiffany.

It really annoys me that Kyland is saying he wants to go to the end with good competitors yet Derek and Azah remain in the house. Especially Derek. He is sitting there laughing that Tiffany won't make it to the final five, a place where the bonus money kicks in and he will make it.
