BBOTT: Weekly Episode and Live Eviction

I'm a bit otherwise occupied this evening. However, I'm putting up this post so anyone who wishes to do so can comment on the weekly show. As it is with this online show, I will post about the HoH comp in the morning. Midnight starts for it are too late for East Coast people!

I will step back in for the live eviction, though! 

Okay, it's 11:06pm here and time for the live eviction.

Neeley, Danielle and Shane get to give a little speech pleading to stay. Nothing earthshattering. Shane says he knows he's going home, will not hug the fakes when he leaves.

The votes to evict:
Alex - Shane
Whitney - Shane
Kryssie - Danielle
Justin - Danielle
Morgan - Shane
Jason - Danielle
Shelby - Shane

With America's vote, it's a tie. Scott votes to evict Shane. Bye-bye, Shane.

Survivor fans ready? Sixteen are left. Who will be voted out tonight?

Older Kids: David feels vulnerable because he saved Jessica with his idol. Jessica tells him she will give him her legacy advantage if she is voted out. Or, did she tell Ken that? Either way, you know that they'll stick together after this! Because an idol is returned to play, everyone is out searching for it. Whoa! David finds a second idol! Yay for him!

Immunity Challenge time? Hmm. Drop your buffs, switching things up. Switching to THREE tribes. They're pulling random colored rocks.

Vanua Orange - CeCe, Chris, David, Zeke and Michelle.

Takali Purple - Taylor, Figgy, Adam, Jessica and Ken.

Ecobula Green (sp?) - Michaela, Hannah, Jay, Will, Sunday and Bret

The last tribe has one extra person and must make a new camp. 

Figgy realizes showing off the showmance with Taylor will harm their game. Taylor disagrees. Ken and Adam are hitting it off.

On the new Vanua tribe, Zeke is hitting it off with fellow Okie Chris. It turns out he's a big football fan and all. 

On the new Green tribe, Michaela went above and beyond making fire. It's a big emotional deal for her and her tribemates are thrilled. 

NOW it's time for the Immunity Challenge. Two tribes will win Immunity. Diving to retrieve buoy, swim to platform, five buoys, throw buoys into baskets. Will sits out. 

Thanks to Michaela, the Green tribe wins Immunity first!  Takali wins the second Immunity! Vanua will go to Tribal Council.  

CeCe and David think Michelle will go and they keep Zeke. Chris wants to vote out CeCe and tells David that. Both David and CeCe did horribly in the challenge. Michelle is worried nonetheless. She tries to talk strategy and voting David out with CeCe. CeCe tells David. He's worried that he'd be next. He's thinking playing chess and planning moves ahead. Will he save CeCe with his idol?

Tribal -- David does not play his idol.

Tally:
Michelle, CeCe, CeCe, CeCe.

Goodbye, CeCe.  

BBOTT: Renom, into Wednesday, October 19

Will she rebound?

You get lots of screen caps today! I snagged some early yesterday and then never got my report up. Work has been a bear once again. (Sigh.) Well, it's not like it's been a thrill a minute. But, here's the big news --

• Justin used his PoV to save Kryssie. 
• Scott put Shane up in Kryssie's place.
• Alex did not use her PoV.
• So, as we head into eviction, on the block are: Shane, Danielle and Neeley. 
• Neeley should be totally safe (as Kryssie would have been, too).
• Scott wants Shane out.
• Jason thinks Danielle out would be better for his own game than Shane leaving.
• Jackie (me) would prefer Danielle go because she's way too dramatic and into herself.
• It might be a tie tonight.
• Then again, it might not.
• We won't know until we know.
• In other news, I watched Justin dance a pizza from the storage room to the kitchen.
• The BB piped in voice, "Stop that. That's really annoying! Stop it."
• Say what?
• Going back and looking at another cam, I found out the voice was chiding Jason and Danielle for talking about its voice.
• Danielle stopped her crying jag.
• Now, at times, she seems overly giggly.
• Whatever happens, at least the showmance will end tonight. 

Some things never change

In cahoots

No ants reported so far

"Better her than me."

When the debt collector calls ...

"It is what it is."

From tears to smiles, tonight back to tears

BBOTT: America's Nom, PoV Winners - Into Monday Evening - October 17

America's nomination reveal

And the winner is ... DANIELLE! Yes, she wins nomination for eviction from America! Feels good, doesn't it, girl?

• Ahem.
• I'm usually not that evil.
• She broke down when she learned she was America's nomination.
• Shane consoled her.
• Alex and Justin were random draws to compete in the Double Veto comp with Scott, Danielle, Kryssie and Neeley.
• The veto comp was a four-piece puzzle with them going in rounds, choosing whom they'd play against in order of winners.
• Danielle did win one round, but Justin won the next time she was up.
• She went into a huge hissy fit, crying in the corner as the rest watched Alex and Justin get their PoV medallions. 
• Apparently BBOTT can't afford two necklaces. Neither Alex nor Justin can wear their PoVs.
• Danielle went on and on about how Justin should have thrown the comp to her.
• Justin told the others that when he came into the house, he decided that he would try his best at everything. And, so he did.
• Justin tried to work his way into things with the HoH crowd (Scott, Alex, Morgan, Shelby and Whitney), complaining about Danielle.
• He said he'd do whatever they wanted him to do with it.
• Although it looks simple that Danielle should go home, they still want Shane out.
• They didn't tell Justin that.
• They think (probably rightfully) that if Shane goes home, Danielle will be totally useless for anything.
• It sounds at this time Alex will use her veto and Shane will go up. They have the votes to send him home.
