Good evening!
Tonight is the Veto comp episode. We have Cameron and Red on the block. Will someone win the veto and actually use it to save one of the nominees? Ohh ... the suspense! (Well, if you don't follow the live feeds, there is suspense! Shh ... don't tell!)
I will be live blogging the show as it airs here on the East Coast. I'll be updating regularly -- please refresh the page to get the latest updates. As always, the real party is in the comments area. I hope to see you there!
As usual, I'm sitting through the "Previously on" segment.
We pick up the action at the end of the nomination ceremony. Jared tells us Cameron is his target. He doesn't trust him and wants revenge for him putting Blue on the block last week. Red is feeling hurt by Cameron's betrayal. Jag is happy to be back but concerned about the unanimous vote ousting him. He is worried about how much Cirie can be trusted yet wants to work with her.
Cirie gives Red some consolation. We see Red cry ... again. Cirie doesn't want Cameron to win the veto. Matt had told her that Cam is trying to form an alliance without her.
To Jared talking with Cam in the HOH room. Jared tells him he would take him down if he wins but tells us the opposite. Cam thinks Red is the target.
Cory talks to Jared. Cory reminds us that he and Jared made a final two early. He thinks he can talk strategy with him. Jared tells us he considers Cory his final four after Mom, Izzy and Blue. (That's five!) Cory tells us he wants to keep America because she's more loyal to him than anyone else. Jared thinks she's throwing comps. He thinks she threw the Pressure Cooker. He lasted an hour and change, first out. She was there almost 14 hours!
Time to pick the players for the veto comp. Jared does not want America to get picked. He draws Felicia. Red gets America. (Heh.) Cameron draws Houseguest Choice and chooses Matt because he's part of the Legend 25 alliance.
Jared is freaking out about America possibly throwing the comp to Izzy and Cory. A lot of gall he has! Cory is upset. Jared tells him that he will put her up. Cory tells him he's freaking out over nothing. Jared is strong to his opinions to the point of stupidity Cory tells us.
Cory talks to America. He tells her she has to try her hardest in the comp. She wants to know why when she's been trying her hardest. He tells her Jared thinks she will throw the comp and will support Cam. She is angry.
Time for the veto comp! BB ComicsVerse! It's the stacking tiny things with a tweezer comp. Barrels of toxic sludge, stack 36 with 8 on the bottom row. Sludge Stackers! The others are watching the action in the living room screen. America is in the lead at least for now. Looks like Jared is doing the worst. Heh. Cam is moving up in rank. Red is not doing well with it. Whoops ... Cam was almost done and most of his stack fell over. Now Matt is in the lead. Oops! Cam and America are in the lead, about matched.
CAMERON wins the Power of Veto! No one in the living room is happy but have to act it when they announce it.
Red doesn't want to go home on his birthday week. Jared has to decide who to put on the block next to Red.
Felicia and Cirie are discussing who can sit next to Red. Felicia says Red is the target. They try to figure the votes for America, Bowie Jane. America walks in and knows they all quieted when she entered. They try to get her in the conversation and suggest her as a pawn next to Red. She decides to talk to Jared.
Blue and Jared are both in the HOH room when America comes in. Jared calls her bro and tells her she threw the Pressure Cooker. Blue doesn't look happy and Jared asks her to leave the room. Jared tells America that he heard she would put up Izzy or Felicia. America tells us that those two and Jared better watch it if she wins HOH. She knows Cory had to tell him.
The chillbillies are out at the hot tub. Red thinks it's a bad week, partially due to Cam. Cam wants him to explain. Red tells him he thinks he does know. Cam thinks Red broke up with him.
Red talks to Cirie, Felicia and Izzy. Cirie thinks it might be a good idea to keep Red -- she knows he trusts her. Bowie Jane suggests America. What about Jag? Cirie thinks that if she had been voted out 10-0 she would have hard feelings. What about Jag? They decide Jag has to go.
Cirie talks to Jared about it. Cirie tells Jared that Matt will never desert his number one Jag. Therefore Jared must become Matt's number one. Jared tells us he never trusted Jag since he lied to him. But he's "sussed out about America" and must decide what's best for himself.
Jag wants to talk with the Seven Deadly Sins and wants to work with them. Izzy suggests America but they could keep her. Jag claims no one would be upset with America. Jag says he doesn't want to be a pawn. Jag tells them he would be down for it as the others won't suspect he's working with them.
Time for the veto meeting. Cam removes himself from the block. Jared puts Jag up in his place. He claims it's what's best for himself moving forward. Red feels pretty secure. So does Jag. One will be surprised. Cirie tells us she's been cleaning up Jared's messes for 25 years and getting rid of Jag is one of them. Matt wants to make sure Jag is safe.
