BB23: "Live" Double Eviction Two-Hour Show Blog Party - Sept. 16

 


I say live in quotes because I think either all of or most of the show we will see tonight is taped. Anyway ... it's to be a double eviction. Maybe more? I just don't know.

As the show airs here on the East Coast I'll be live-blogging, constantly updating this entry with the major happenings. Refresh the page to get the latest news. As always, the real party is in the comments section -- I hope to see you there!

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:

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

Julie is acting like it's live. I'm currently sitting through the "previously on" as we all know anyway! Will both evictions take place in one hour? Will the second hour show ... what?

Julie is wearing a black slacks outfit with a long tapered vest. She talks about the Cookout achieving its goal and we pick up on the action after the Veto Ceremony in which Kyland did not use the veto. On the block we have Tiffany and Hannah. Tiffany thinks she might wiggle her way out of this with Kyland and Xavier.

Both Tiffany and Hannah talk, both seem to be proud of the accomplishment of the Cookout but a bit bittersweet over those who had to leave to make it possible. Hannah credits Tiffany and her master plan for where the Cookout is right now. She is right.

Tiffany talks to Azah. She tells her she knows Derek wants her gone. She throws Hannah under the bus when it comes to where Derek is concerned and tells Azah she has no desire to come after her as a target.

Once again the show edits a Derek segment to make him seem like such a good guy. @@ Then we get a segment of Kyland's non-sensical speech making to Azah. Kyland and Xavier talk. Kyland mentions he has over 100K in student loans and wants to help his family monetarily. Xavier talks about the recent loss of his brother and wanting to set money aside for his nephew. I remember Frenchie lied about donating the money to some school. At least Kyland and Xavier are being truthful.

Derek joins Tiffany in the HOH bed. She tries to tell him that Hannah will be coming after him. Then she tries talking to Xavier saying that she would be a target (shield) for him if she stayed. Xavier doesn't really know if he can trust her. We know he can't! Derek and Xavier talk. Derek, of course, really wants Tiffany out. They both compare notes. Tiffany did make some anti-Hannah points, though.

Julie talks to the Cookout. She congratulates them on achieving their mission. She says they have guaranteed that the first African-American BB winner will indeed happen. Tiffany talks about how they all stuck together in the goal. She talks to Hannah about side alliances and Derek X. Sniffle.

Jury house segment now. Sarah Beth arrives. She shows them the video with Tiffany as HOH. The High Roller nominates the same. She tells them about the alliance mentioned in the goodbye messages. She points out there has never been a Black winner in BB (Celeb BB is a totally different show). Kyland seems to be their least favorite.

Time for Claire and Alyssa to arrive at the jury house. Claire first. She tells them it was a double. She thinks it will be Alyssa and there Alyssa is, still clueless. They are shocked that Tiffany took out Claire on her HOH. Claire explains to them what Tiffany told her and she still supports Tiffany for the win. Interesting ... they show goodbye messages for Alyssa which we were not shown in the interview. Alyssa finally has a clue ... even though they all had to tell her.

To the living room ...

Tiffany - Shout outs, HG our display will forever signify our legacy. Nice words to all. 
Hannah - Shout outs, Cookout honor to play with you, just positive about Tiffany, good reasons to keep me.

The votes to evict:
Derek - to evict Tiffany
Xavier - Tiffany
Azah - Tiffany

Huh. Not even the one vote of the past. Tiffany is gone, expected it. Hugs all, goes out smiling. She is good with Julie.

Julie tells them it's another double eviction. Heh.

HOH Comp. BB Ballers. Two Rounds. 12 balls at end of ramp, retrieve roll up a ramp to knock them off. First two advance to round two. Winner of round two HOH. Xavier and Azah move to round two. 

Round two has them rolling ten balls up the ramp and only onto the grass.

AZAH WINS HOH!

Azah tells Hannah must go up as a pawn. She promised Kyland she wouldn't put him up. Her plan is to backdoor him putting Xavier and Hannah up hoping one will win veto. That's what she said before commercial break, at least.

To the living room ... nominations. Azah puts Xavier and Hannah on the block, saying she had to keep promises she made.

Power of Veto comp time. It's the standard "What the Bleep" comp.

1. Derek and Azah wrong
2. Hannah wrong
3. All right
4. (Kyland and X tied for lead) - All right
5. Hannah only one right, tied with X and Ky
6. Hannah and Derek wrong
7. All right
Kyland and Xavier to a tiebreaker question
In seconds Cluckster HOH comp from start until Kyland won.
KYLAND WINS THE POWER OF VETO!

Kyland chooses to remove Xavier from the block due to previous promises. Derek is the only option to go up with Hannah.

To the living room again. 
Derek - Shout outs, HG did a lot in game, supported all, stay loyal to their word.
Hannah - Here to compete, at a point when it's best for your personal game. Please, please.

Votes to evict:
Kyland - Hannah
Xavier - Hannah

Of course. She is holding back tears, hugs all, says no hard feelings. She is reasonable in the Julie interview, perhaps showing a bit of bitterness towards Kyland. She is a good spokesperson for the Cookout.
 

BB23: Live Feeds Update into Thursday Morning - Sept. 16

 

From yesterday until after
West Coast show tonight

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Cookout Calamity:

  • Actually not the latest latest as we don't know that.
  • The feeds have been blocked since yesterday morning.
  • It seems the big "live" double eviction show isn't really live at all.
  • At least one eviction went down yesterday while the feeds were down.
  • It seems to have been Tiffany out the door.
  • There was an audio leak of someone running through Julie's intro to the veto comp. It sounds like it should be "What the Bleep."
  • And the feeds won't return until after tonight's West Coast airing ... we're talking after 1AM my time.
  • That's all.

Could he lose against Azah or Derek? Maybe.


Probably the last screen cap I will have of Tiffany

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.

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
