BB23: HOH and Nominations (?) Show Blog Party - Sept. 17

 

Yes, it's Friday. Yes, there is a show tonight. There is no show this Sunday due to the Emmy Awards. I can only guess what tonight's show will be. Judging by what we normally see on Sunday and what has happened on the live feeds, I'm guessing an HOH comp and nominations. Remember, since this is a show post, it's a NO SPOILERS ZONE.

I'll be live blogging and updating this entry 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!

Sitting through "Previously On." It seems that I'm right about what will be on the show.

The action opens with the final four celebration. Derek is being obnoxious. Everything needs to be handed to him and it's not. 

They rehash house happenings before Azah made her nominations. Azah feels her best bet for final three is to stay loyal to the guys. We'll see how that works out for her. Kyland tells Hannah that he promised Xavier he would save him if he won the veto (which he did). Xavier tells us that he didn't want to put Azah in the spot to choose between Derek and Hannah so they need to vote out Hannah unanimously. Derek is salty about being on the block.

Sidenote: Derek is always messing with his ears. Ew.

Azah is finally getting an inkling that Xavier and Kyland might not really be loyal to her. Hannah gets evicted. Azah feels played because Kyland saved Xavier with the veto and didn't tell her.

Xavier and Kyland talk more on the final two deal. Meanwhile, Xavier tells us his real loyalty is to Derek. EW! That makes me lose all respect I had for him as a player in the game. Azah is still all upset. Derek tells Xavier he is mad that he wasn't aware what Kyland was going to do with the veto. 

They have to gather in the living room. A woman from a new CBS CSI show is on the monitor. The HOH comp has to do with the show and the winner gets to screen an episode.

The HOH is at the BB Crime Lab. Derek thinks it's something he can actually win. Yeah, right. They have to collect clues in the crime scene, find the five clues, gather the five pieces of evidence, correct ones will bring up the suspect. The fastest to solve the crime wins.

Derek is up first. He doesn't fare all that well. Xavier is up next. He seems to be more observant with the clues than Derek was. Kyland's turn. He is more observant than Derek was, but doesn't seem as fast as Xavier. He is the only one right on all the clues the first time. But was he fast enough?

Derek 15:44. Kyland 14:52, Xavier 10:18.

XAVIER IS THE NEW HOH!

Derek is upset that he lost and feels like he's riding coattails. I say, if the shoe fits, wear it. Azah is super-subdued. Kyland is upset that he lost and is worried that he might end up on the block. Kyland feels he needs to win the veto. Xavier tells us Kyland is right to worry and needs to win the veto.

Xavier makes the rounds. He talks to Azah and denies he has a final two with Kyland. He really seems very awkward with her. Derek is worried. He hints that the better final three would be them and Azah rather than Kyland. Xavier is really putting him on the spot. He also told us that he wants Derek to have the "blood on his hands" for sending one of them home.

Nominations time! Xavier first nominates Azah, then Kyland. He says Azah hasn't been nominated yet, Kyland competition record. Wishes them well in the veto comp.

BB23: Live Feeds into Friday Morning - Sept. 17

 

No more speeches. Please.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brothers House of Brothers Only:

• Well, it's not Brothers Only yet but soon will be.
• Y'see while the feeds were blocked for nearly two days for the not live evictions, they were still blocked for the most recent HOH comp.
• Xavier.
• Yep, you heard me. Xavier is the new HOH.
• Who's on the block?
• Kyland and Azah.
• If the nominations remain the same, Derek is the only vote.
• Although he and Azah have lazed about together all season, his misogynic ways probably will have him voting her out to keep things all boys.
• Veto has not been played yet. Maybe today ... I'm not really sure of their schedule right now.
• Their TV show schedule has a show tonight, though. Don't forget that!
• Derek was saying he didn't know what he would do if he won the veto.
• Huh? 
• Isn't it obvious that he cannot use it as he is the only renom option in the house?
• D'oh, Derek.
• Now would be the time for Azah to actually win something.
• If she were to win the veto and save herself, it would be Derek and Kyland on the block with her as the only vote.
• Um.
• She would probably keep Deadweight Derek who never should have been in the house in the first place no matter how much work BB is doing in editing his behavior to make him look like a good fun person.
• I guess we'll know more later.
• I just wish that the two Victorias weren't there in the final four and we had two different people who actually played the game. 

Azah, Azah, Azah ...

If cooking and cleaning the kitchen
 makes for a winner ...

You know you're next out now.

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

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.
