BB23: Live Feeds into Saturday Evening, Power of Veto - July 24

 

BB is into giving them tie-dyed clothes this season!

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

• That bit of Tiffany live feeds video I posted earlier has some background to it.
• Azah.
• Britini.
• As even the most casual watch the TV show only BB fan could predict, Britini is totally bent out of shape over being on the block even though she was once again told she's a pawn.
• Now, that worked out fine for her last week, didn't it?
• Before noms Azah was telling Xavier that she (Azah) needs to go on the block instead of Britini. 
• (Remember, Xavier was talking way too much in his one on one meetings!)
• Now, as the kids would say, Azah is feeling some kind of way because Britini was nominated.
• What kind of way, you ask?
• A bizarre pouting angry passive aggressive moody kind of way.
• Why? Her behavior is putting her own game in the spotlight. Sure, support your teammate. Console your teammate. Speak up a bit for your teammate if you feel the need.
• But do NOT get so wrapped up in your defense of the teammate that you put your own game in jeopardy. 
• Xavier tried to convince Brent that Britini is the target.
• Of course, Brent didn't buy that bridge.
• He's mainly on the block for the way he treats women and his cockiness in general. He annoys people. He is being compared to Caleb in his stalking of Alyssa.
• But, would those reasons ever enter his mind?
• Nope! He's knows he's the target because he's just such a dangerous fantastic game player!
• He is right that he's the target, not Britini.
• But he's so wrong otherwise.
• Meanwhile, Derek F is sitting around saying they need to nominate women and get them out.
• He's saying that in earshot of women, mind you.
• BB woke them up early and blocked the live feeds for the veto players pick.
• In addition to Xavier, Britini and Brent playing we have Derek F, Whitney and Christian who was Xavier's Houseguest Choice pick.
• Well, this should be interesting.
• SarahBeth is hosting the comp.
• The feeds didn't get blocked for the comp until nearly 3:30PM their time.
• I've been waiting them out.
• But I might give up, get this posted and post a brief bulletin when the feeds return.
• Decisions, decisions.
• CHRISTIAN WON THE POWER OF VETO
• It seems it was a spinning one.
• They all have tutus on.
• Apparently Derek F did pretty much as I thought he would. He's sweating and coughing but he and the others are all laughing about it.
• Apparently Brent did horrible, making Derek F look good. Brent got sick. 

Whitney pedals a lot to go nowhere

Rarely without a shirt but he's exercising.

Azah, don't ruin your game acting out about Britini!

Still playing low key and mostly under the radar

Well, well, well ... he's playing in a comp

Xavier's HOH is messy even though most want one target

Christian is sporting the bling

Did someone clothesline Brent in the comp?

BB23: Just a Bit of Tiffany Live Feeds Video

 I saw this on the live feeds last night and wished I could figure out how to video copy it. Then I saw it on Twitter by someone who knows how. I love it when Tiffany talks to the cameras! Language alert towards the end, though.

Tiffany tells the cams that this isn’t a personal game...she isn’t playing Big Mama, and if someone is mad about something, that they need to figure out how to get happy about their next move 😂💀 #bb23 pic.twitter.com/uytoKZ8cmB

BB23: Live Feeds Wild Card, Nominations - July 23

 

Put me up, don't make Britini go through that again!

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Ruffled Feathers:

• Xavier is making a few mistakes.
• He earlier said his targets would be Brent and Whitney.
• So, what does he do?
• In his one on one meeting with Brent, he asks him how he would feel if he went up on the block.
• OY.
• They had the Wild Card Comp with Tiffany, Derek X and Britini playing.
• Tiffany won and did not use. I'm not sure what the comp was but I would guess she didn't like the consequence of using it. 
• So, their Wild Card twist is running as a flop with one of three using it and Christian only used it as it was a good consequence all around with safety for himself and a person of his choice. 
• Britini, retaining her needy and emotional ways, thought Tiffany and Derek X conspired against her in the comp.
• Tiffany had to console her.
• Then, after a one on one with Xavier, she got all emotional about possibly going on the block.
• Azah went to Xavier and was adamant that, if he planned on using Britini as a pawn, put her up instead. She does NOT want to go through the drama with Britini again for the second week in a row.
• Tiffany had a long talk alone with the camera and us. If she thinks she's hated (and accepts it because, hey, that's just the way she is), she's got another think coming! My own opinion and what I've been seeing around social media is that her game and herself being herself is getting rave reviews.
• Xavier seemed to want to pattern his HOH after Kyland.
• In some ways he has been doing so.
• But it's one thing that's screaming FAIL. He's talking too much!
• Kyland would interrupt people and say he wanted to ask questions and not talk.
• Xavier's talking and saying too much to those who stand the most to lose with him.
• It's been feed blocks for most of the day between Wild Card and nominations.
• Right now I'm waiting for the feeds to return so I can get the nominations in this update.
• :::tapping foot:::
• The nominees for eviction are (drumroll please) ... Brent and Britini.
• Britini is crying.
• Brent is being led to believe Britini is the target.

America, do y'all hate me?

Derek F likes to judge others

She's needy and Tiffany is a consoling kind of gal

Thankfully, not in danger this week

While not a Frenchie HOH, he's no Kyland HOH either!

BB23: Live Feeds into Friday Morning - July 23

 

Who wants to see my HOH room?

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Happy Hamsters:

• Frenchie being gone is almost like a weight off their shoulders.
• We know going into this week that the Kings and Queens have decided to work together.
• So, that actually limits the possibilities for eviction nominees.
• After the feeds came back Hannah and Derek X talked about it being easy to throw the comp once Whitney and Brent were out.
• Hmm.
• Now, if people intended to throw the comp to Xavier or whether they just didn't want to be HOH right now, I just don't know.
• There is no hinky vote quibble or investigation this week as Derek F had already told everyone he would vote for Frenchie to stay.
• Christian, although his hair styles are rather distracting, is not only safe this week because he's on the Kings team with Xavier, is getting along a lot better sans the Frenchie targeting him.
• That said, his Not a Showmance with Alyssa has developed into quite the Is a Showmance.
• I could do without that. But at least they haven't gotten to the soft porn stage within the first few weeks!
• The Have Nots this week are the Queens -- Claire, Kyland and Tiffany
• I believe they volunteered. There seem to be fewer complaints about the room this season and a couple of them want to go on diets so the slop will suffice. It's just that pesky cold showers bit they really would prefer not to do.
• Before talks were even talked I figured this week's nominees would likely be Brent and Whitney.
• Brent is reminiscent of BB seasons past -- sexist, puts foot in mouth and says the wrong things in front of the wrong people too often, thinks he's all that, plays up to and attaches himself to the hip (if he can) to the power in the house, etc.
• Then there's Whitney. While she has been known to hang all over Xavier, I don't think that he is all over her at all. She too could have been a past season hamster. 
• Then initial talking with a few went down. Xavier is leaning towards nominating Whitney and Brent. Surprise surprise!
• Xavier had a lengthy talk with Kyland asking for HOH advice -- what worked for him, what didn't. He plans to talk to the teams before the Wild Card today and then to the hamsters one by one before the actual nominations. He will do it alphabetically. How logical! 
• I just hope he doesn't do what Kyland did to a T as that was Kyland's thing. Xavier needs his own thing. 
• Whatever he does, I'm sure it will be an improvement over the Reign of Frenchie.
• Not much can be decided until after the Wild Card Comp later today.

Xavier asking Kyland for HOH advice

Why? Just why? That's sillier than a man-bun!

Wins the Most Likely to be Nominated Award!

Waiting on the couch for the HOH room

I could use a neck and shoulder massage, Kyland!

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

I'll be live-blogging, updating this blog 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! Oh ... and it's BYOB, please.

Sitting through "Previously on ..."

Julie is adorned with a string of pearls and a fairly simple black dress. But first ... she says Frenchie has zeroed in on a strategy to keep his game alive. Let's hope not.

Frenchie tells us no one would vote to get Britini out. Well, um. She tells us she will remain quiet. Frenchie tells his team he won't campaign against Britini. He comes up with the idea he can propose to be a shield, a protector and help their games.

Britini and Whitney work out as Britini makes up rap songs. She tells us that she's hiding her karate skills but willing to drop bars. Meanwhile Frenchie is going around using his protector strategy with Xavier, Brent, Azah, Claire, SarahBeth. etc. The only one who said they wanted him to stay was his teammate Azah. But how will she vote?

Julie promises us once the hour is up a BB celebrity will crown a new HOH. I wonder who that could be? Will it be from the yard balcony so they don't mingle? 

SarahBeth has a moment with Kyland as it was the anniversary of her father's death last year from Covid. He is great with her. She picked the right person in which to confide.

Kyland talks to the other teams to see where they stand and try to get some kind of confirmation they won't target him. Derek X asks to talk privately with him after mentioning he hoped his actions (saving him with the veto, abiding by his wishes for this past veto) spoke for themselves. Brent and Whitney did not promise safety. So, Aces is only half a team who will work with him.

It's decided the Queens and Kings will work together and Brent/Whitney are in their sights. Derek X is their ace up the sleeve according to Kyland.

Heh. Brent tries to get in with the girls but then says two girls must go home the next two evictions. Not a smart move. He's really painting that target on his back in vibrant neon colors!

Heading to the living room --

Britini - Thanks CBS, does it all in a wrap, (gotta love the effort), really nice.

Frenchie - Crazy experiences, build friendships with all, would love to stay, always be friends. 

The votes to evict:

Claire - Frenchie

SarahBeth - Frenchie

Xavier - Frenchie 

Derek F - Britini (as expected)

Christian - Frenchie

Whitney - Frenchie

Azah - Frenchie

Derek X - Frenchie

Tiffany - Frenchie

Brent - Frenchie

Hannah - Frenchie

Alyssa - Frenchie

To commercial but Frenchie is gone. The Celebrity BB alum is actually from Celebrity BB -- Tom Green.

Frenchie takes it well when Julie tells them it's a vote of 11 to 1 for him to go. I thought he would. Too bad he saved the class act for his exit and didn't use it during his HOH. He doesn't regret giving up the chance for two weeks of safety.

Head of Household comp time. They're in booths. "Tom talks BB" -- Tom Green, two videos, traveled around talking BB. Seven questions with a tiebreaker if needed. He's in Ottawa.

1. Derek F, Tiffany, Brent, Britini and Christian out

2. Azah out

3. All right

4. Whitney and Claire out.

5. Xavier only one right!

XAVIER IS THE NEW HOH!

I notice Drift to the Power Brent is the first to hug him.
