Big Brother: BB24 Power of Veto Show Blog Party - July 27

 

Greetings! I hope all is well with everyone ... or at least as good as it gets!

Tonight's show is the Power of Veto show. Now, anyone watching or reading about the live feeds knows that A LOT went down and tonight's show should be very Interesting! Please, no live feeds spoilers on this show post! Wait until it airs on the show! Merci beaucoups!

I will be live-blogging the major events as the show airs here on the East Coast -- refresh the blog page to get the latest update. As always, the real party is in the comments area. I hope to see you there!

Let's get through this Previously On and get on with the show!

We pick up at the end of the Nominations Ceremony. Right now, Turner is still out for revenge for Pooch. Brittany and Michael are on the block. Brittany is upset as Michael is her only ally in the house. Taylor wants to play in the veto to secure her own safety. Ameerah tries to convince Turner to backdoor Taylor if Michael/Brittany comes down.

Turner decides to talk with Nicole about possibly backdooring Taylor, her Festie Bestie. Nicole tells him she's on board for it. 

Taylor and Monte talk and get to know each other a bit more. He's been misled by Paloma. She talks to him and us about her darker skin tone and how it's affected her life.

Kyle, Joseph, Turner and Monte talk ... is there a girls' alliance? Oh my! Monte thinks getting Taylor out may help the girls' game more than his/the men. Joseph thinks either Ameerah or Nicole would be better for the backdoor. Kyle suggests Ameerah/Terrance and get Taylor on their side.

Time to pick players for the veto comp. One Festie Bestie will play with Turner/Jasmine and Michael/Brittany. Turner pulls one c ghip out. He draws Nicole/Taylor. Nicole thinks she will have to throw the comp so Taylor gets evicted. Turner had new news that the remaining Bestie isn't guaranteed safety next week -- what was part of why Nicole wanted to play. She tells Daniel and Turner she wants to throw the comp so that Taylor leaves.

Nicole goes into the bedroom, asks everyone else to leave, then cries under the blankets. The others wonder if she got bad news about her mother's health or what. She finally talks to Daniel -- she tells him she never had an issue with Taylor but he tells her Taylor is hurting his game. Neither of them see Taylor as "a good person." And, although she hasn't won any comps, she's a huge threat to their games.

Nicole thinks that Taylor was talking passive aggressively with her. Daniel gets defensive and aggressively verbally confronts Taylor. Taylor is shocked. Taylor goes to Daniel and blames her for "what she did to Paloma" and not to ever speak to Nicole like that ever again! Yikes! Ameerah thinks Daniel is not being fair.

Now Taylor cries to us from the Diary Room. Joseph feels bad and doesn't think Taylor has done anything to deserve the treatment from Nicole or Daniel.

Time for the veto comp! WoodStack, a take off Woodstock. They have helmets on. Each duo has to assemble their puzzle atop their tree. Kind of like a zipline type thing. Jasmine tells Turner she doesn't think she can do it. She "passes out" before the comp even starts.

The medic looked at her and she says she was cleared by the medic but her fear of heights and anxiety has her not participating. So, Turner has to sit out as well. It's only Michael/Brittany and Nicole/Taylor competing. It's very dependent on teamwork. After all, teamwork makes the dream work, y'know. Michael/Brittany WIN!

Michael and Joseph talk. Then Joseph talks to Brittany, then Monte talks to Taylor, getting their group larger and larger. Kyle thinks Taylor has been treated poorly and their group of seven can take control of the game. Monte says Ameerah has been instrumental in telling who should be voted out each week. "The bullying ends today."

And, thus ... the start of The Leftovers! 

They're saving the Veto Meeting for tomorrow's show.

Big Brother: BB24 Live Feeds Tuesday - July 26

 

Aw, poor Ameerah

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Thrilling Thespians:

• Fate brought Joseph in as an alternate the day before they moved in.
• We should never question divine intervention.
• Joseph and Kyle brought together the Leftovers.
• And, the acting skills of all involved is amazing.
• They are playing dumb. They had no clue Turner was going to do that!
• Of course not!
• When you think how stupid Jasmine's fake Southern accent is, I doubted these hamsters could carry this off.
• But they are!
• Daniel and Nicole are still freaking out.
• So is Ameerah.
• Heehee.
• She is all bent out of shape thinking she might be backdoored ... how unfair that is! Meanwhile, she was behind Pooch's total blindside backdoor. That's okay.
• I'm even liking Turner a bit more due to his speech (not on the feeds but have heard bits and pieces) about bullies. I can see him being bullied.
• Joseph seems to want a flirtmance with Taylor. Oh-la-la! If they both end up in the jury house together ...
• Other than knowing what's gone down and what's to come, the feeds have been on the quiet side for the most part.
• Laters!

Brittany again looking different

Has no fake southern accent on the feeds

He should be safe this week, but for how long?

Joseph and Kyle started the Leftovers

Big Brother: BB24 Live Feeds Monday, PoV Meeting - July 25

 

I had wanted to like her ...

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Turning Tides:

• Not a lot has gone down since I last reported.
• The Leftovers (see previous post) have only been meeting up in small groups of a couple, no more.
• The more smug bunch of Daniel, Ameerah and Nicole are still very sure their plan to backdoor Taylor will go down.
• Nicole seriously thinks the remaining non-evicted Bestie gets some sort of prize and she wants it.
• Ameerah is still trash-talking Joseph and Taylor.
• Terrance is eating fruit.
• The feeds finally went down (although the hamsters weren't up too long) for the veto meeting.
• It's expected that Michael/Brittany will take themselves off the block.
• Then The Leftovers step in ... Turner should be nominating Ameerah/Terrance.
• They want to act like Terrance is the target.
• But, he's not.
• I just hope Turner comes through with it.
• I will update and post this once the feeds return.
• I expect at least a kerfuffle!
• Finally ... Turner went through with it.
• Ameerah and Terrance are on the block.
• Nicole is steaming and is sure Daniel knew Turner was going to do that.
• Jasmine is sure none of the guys knew because they all seem distraught.
• Terrance is ready to pack his bags -- he's sure he's going home.
• He's not.
• Ameerah apparently thinks no way could she be in danger of getting evicted.
• Oh noes! Now Terrance and Ameerah are both in tears!
• Heh.
• I love it.

I didn't want to like him.
For the most part, I don't.

What limited sleep does to you

I'm glad things have improved for her

Whozzat? Oh. Kyle.

Big Brother: BB24 Not Live Eviction, HoH, Nominations Show Blog Party - July 24

 Good evening! I hope everyone is holding up okay with this ridiculous heat across the country. Now, in real life the Power of Veto comp is done and over with. However, due to the schedule change, we will see the taped live eviction, the HOH comp, the Besties twist and the nominations all in a two-hour show.

Please don't post any spoilers in the comments area before they air on the show. I hate to remove comments. It's bad enough that Blogger keeps sending some comments to its spam folder and I have to retrieve them during commercials!

I will be live-blogging the major events 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 -- I hope to see you there! Bring icy cold beer, please!

Previously On ... and all that. Will Pooch face his demise in the game tonight?

Julie tells us that Pooch and Taylor both think they are pawns, only one is. Pooch says it's the petty girls who want Taylor out and he doesn't know why.

Kyle and Alyssa are flirting on the edge of a showmance. You can tell from this segment that they want to push the showmance factor -- they think it brings up the ratings.

The guys notice all the girls (or most of them) are up in the HOH room. Joseph tells Monte and Kyle that he thinks they are going to vote out Pooch. Joseph doesn't know about the plan, but Monte and Kyle do.

Alyssa tells Kyle about the all girls alliance that Paloma started on the first day.

Julie tells us a blindside seems certain for tonight, but who will be blindsided with the house dividing along gender lines? Ameerah tells Monte that Taylor is trying to backdoor him. She tells him that Pooch is more dangerous to her own game. But Monte isn't sure that's best for his game. Ameerah gets Nicole to confront Monte saying Pooch will go after both of the girls.  

Nicole thinks the females this season are the strongest ever cast on the show. Um, well.

To the living room (as if it's live) --

Pooch - Grateful to be here. I'm already winning. Loyal. Love all y'all. (He rambles and isn't taking it seriously.)

Taylor - Love y'all. If you choose to keep me, I can be an asset to your game.

The votes to evict:

Turner - Pooch

Alyssa - Pooch

Ameerah - Pooch

Joseph - Pooch

To commercial break ...

Daniel - Pooch

Nicole - Pooch

Kyle - Pooch

Monte - Pooch

Michael - Pooch

Brittany - Pooch

Indy - Pooch

Terrance - Pooch

It's unanimous -- Pooch gets the doggy door out! Fake hugs all around.

Julie reminds him he volunteered and pawns often go home. He's shocked that it was 12 to 0. Julie tells him the five-woman alliance siezed the opportunity to vote him out when they could.

Julie calls all to the living room to unveil the new twist. The only way to enjoy a festival with a friend -- you will be playing with a Festie Bestie. By the time the HOH is over, you will have one. If you win HOH, your Bestie is safe, too. Nomination will be one set of Besties. PoV is played with Besties, too. On eviction night, only one bestie is evicted. She will tell what happens to the other best on eviction night.

HOH comp time. Get Lit is the comp. Rounds, hold down button on giant lighter, sit down when music stops. When eliminated, strategic or personal decision. First person eliminated can join Jasmine or have someone else choose. There are giant lighters suspended for them to hang onto. The lighters are moving back and forth. It's a bit like a twisted game of musical chairs although they each have their own chair.

Julie leaves as the hamsters compete. Terrance out first. He doesn't want to be Jasmine's Bestie. He gets his own table. Round two - Brittany out, also takes an empty table. Round three - Joseph out, chooses an empty table. Michael throws it so he can sit with Brittany in Round Four. Round Five - Taylor out, chooses an empty table.

It's up to Round Six. Monte out, chooses to be Festie Bestie with Joseph. Round Seven -- Nicole out, chooses Taylor as her Festie Bestie -- tells us she knows that if they go on the block, she would be safe. Round Eight starts. Indy out, chooses empty table. Round Nine -- Daniel throws it to take the last empty table. Round Ten -- Kyle out, chooses Daniel.

Round Eleven -- Alyssa out, chooses Indy. Round Twelve -- It's Ameerah versus Turner.

TURNER WINS HOH!

Ameerah picks Terrance. So, Turner gets (stuck with) Jasmine. Turner tells us he would love to have Ameerah or Nicole on the block. Brittany doesn't want to lose Michael. Turner thinks being Festie Bestie with Jasmine might give him an in with the girls that he doesn't now have. Nicole SAYS she wants to work with Taylor plus if they go on the block, Taylor is a bigger target.

Who wants to see my HOH room? Nobody, I say! Okay, they all go and he cries through a letter from his girlfriend.

Everybody has to go to the living room for the Have Not choosing. Only one Festie Bestie couple has to be Have Nots. Turner turns the task over to Jasmine. Indy and Alyssa are chosen -- they are the only couple that neither has been a Have Not yet.

Indy is rubbing people wrong, notably Terrance. Heck, just let her sulk for a bit about Have Not. 

Nicole says they should put up Michael and Brittany and backdoor Taylor. She thinks an advantage will come her way if she remains after Bestie Taylor is backdoored.

Turner has decided either Nicole/Taylor or Michael/Brittany. He talks to the women. Hmm. Nicole is acting like Taylor is her actual best friend! But he is more concerned talking to Brittany, she doesn't let on anything actual about gameplay. He tells Michael he trusts him more than Brittany. Michael is worried that they will go on the block.

Nomination Ceremony time. Turner nominates Festie Besties Michael and Brittany, because they don't talk a lot of game with him.

Big Brother: BB24 Live Feeds into Sunday Morning - July 24

 

Smile - You're on Candid Camera

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Leftover Llamas:

• Apparently, some brouhaha went down before the POV comp but after the live feeds were cut yesterday.
• In it, it sounds like Taylor was pretty much attacked by Nicole (and Daniel?).
• Now, yesterday Joseph ended up making himself a new target because Ameerah freaked out that he was talking to Taylor.
• She was sure they were talking game.
• They weren't. Joseph just seems to be a nice guy. He had noticed that she seemed all alone and was being ostracized by the rest of the house. He offered to be someone she could turn to if needed.
• Anyway, all this doesn't happen without people taking notice.
• I told you that Michael/Brittany won the PoV and the plan was to target Ameerah.
• That would mean Turner has to put Ameerah/Terrance on the block.
• However, that would mean there's a chance that Terrance would go, not Ameerah.
• What to do? What to do?
• Meanwhile, Monte -- who really believed in Paloma -- finally came to the realization that Taylor had been honest with him and had approached him about the girls targeting him to give him a heads up.
• The outsiders got together and talked.
• The Girls Girls Alliance has Ameerah, Alyssa, Jasmine, Indy on the outskirts. Brittany was told she's in but they all tend to exclude her. Taylor was never invited.
• The Old Skool Alliance has all the older people -- Daniel, Nicole,Terrance and Alyssa as the youngest member. Brittanny is older than Alyssa but wasn't invited.
• Everyone else has no real ties to an alliance.
• What to do?
• Form one.
• Michael, Brittany, Joseph, Taylor, Kyle, Monte and Turner are now The Leftovers.
• This is the first alliance I've liked.
• They have people good in comps, people good with strategy, some who really know the game.
• Plus, they're uniting because they all realize that Daniel, Nicole and Ameerah have been pushing an agenda pretty much as an act of manipulation rather than having a real basis.
• Taylor never did anything to anyone.
• Now this game is interesting.

The Leftovers cheer

Meeting of the minds in progress

He lucked into a strong alliance

He still owes Taylor an apology, I say!

Finally has "people."
