Tonight's show is scheduled a half-hour late here on the East Coast due to sports. Grr. I'm preparing this post ahead of time. Football ran over, but I'm not sure how much over. So, the show will probably be starting later than 8:30PM EDT. This post will go up at 8:25PM EDT anyway and we'll wait!The show should cover the HOH comp and nominations. I know the live feeds are beyond that point. But I ask that no live feeds spoilers be posted on the show posts. Thank you very much!
I will be live-blogging and updating this post constantly with the major events 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. I hope to see you there!
Finally ... at 8:40PM EDT, the show starts. Previously On. You know the drill.
Okay, the final eight were reunited. Will there be war? Who will be HOH? Who will be nominated? Inside they were expecting Alyssa to be gone and she's still there. Turner is happy Jasmine is gone. Kyle is wondering what will happen because he betrayed the Leftovers. Taylor is in tears because Joseph is gone. She really cared about him.
Dyre Fest tells the others the horrors they went through outside. Yes, it was like a punishment. Alyssa tells us that the After Party (yard alliance) decided to blame Joseph for his own demise in the game. Turner likes everybody and feels aligned with all, but will go with the blame Joseph game.
Terrance is planning on not revealing that he knows anything about the Kyle lies to Michael and Brittany. Michael is skeptical.
Time for the HOH comp! Smallest music fest in the world. Stacking micro-energy drinks into a pyramid of color rows with tweezers. We've seen this comp before. It seems to be taking forever as everybody's stacks are falling. Kyle is coming real close and POOF. Monte and Turner are doing well.
TURNER IS THE NEW HOH!
Monte is still concerned about what might have happened at Dyre Fest and what Turner will do.
Turner doesn't know what he'll do. But Terrance is thrilled. Kyle is glad the winner was someone from the After Party.
Michael is thinking Terrance and Alyssa have to go on the block as they are the only non-Leftovers. Turner tells us he will lie to Michael and Brittany and tell them they were safe. And, he does. Taylor tells Turner that Joseph was the first one to come to her when she was so alone in the beginning of the game.
Alyssa feels safe. Kyle feels safe. Terrance feels safe. Turner tells us he needs to prioritize what's best for his own game. He thinks he needs a final two deal with Kyle. Turner suggests to Kyle that he could take out Alyssa so he won't have to. Nonono! Kyle does not want that! Turner has little faith in either Terrance or Alyssa going up against the biggest competitors (Michael, Monte?) in the house.
Taylor is getting red flags over the Dyre Fest people. She knows Joseph wouldn't do what they're saying and their stories seem too pat. The inside Leftovers are all worried about what happened in the yard. Turner tells Monte that Joseph told him that Brittany, Michael and Taylor had an alliance within their alliance. Now Turner realizes that Monte is someone he can work with and that he and Kyle are at the bottom of the Leftovers anyway.
Neither Kyle nor Alyssa know anything about European countries. That doesn't surprise me. Kyle thinks it's geometry, not geography. @@
Because of what Turner told him, Monte is now aboard the Kyle train. Argh. I don't like that. He suggests voting Michael out in a backdoor with Brittany and Taylor on the block. He thinks chances are that neither woman will win the veto.
Now Turner is against the Leftovers once again.
Time for the nominations ceremony. Turner first nominates Taylor, then Brittany. Love as people but Joseph said they were in a final three and he wasn't included.
He's drawn the line in the sand. Taylor cries. She couldn't believe Joseph would hurt her. Michael is sure it's a backdoor plan for him. The narrator tells us the POV comp will be slip and slide.
