As the show airs here on the East Coast, I'll be updating and live-blogging away the best I can. Refresh the post to get the latest news! For more information on how I'll be handling this season on the blog as well as the show schedule, check this post out. As always, the real party is in the comments area -- join on in!
ALERT! ALERT! - Survivor: Ghost Island starts up next Wednesday! The blog pool is open but you need to sign up for it ONLY ON THIS LINKED POST. Requests not on that post might be missed. And, I don't think y'all know how annoying it is that every season people regularly in the pools want in after the deadline. If you want in on the blog pool, go to the post and sign up before the deadline. Please!
The recap ended and Julie tells us there are more alliances in the house than houseguests left in the game. She's so right about that!
Mark wants Brandi gone out of the Brandi/Ari nominations. We get the standard "I have to win veto" speeches.
Omarosa, like both Mark and James, wants Brandi out. James tells Ari that Brandi is the target. She's worried that Brandi will win veto.
Time for Omarosa's obligatory White House moment.
Veto Player random picks -- Mark got who he didn't want -- Omarosa. Brandi also got her nemesis James. Ari got Marissa.
Ross isn't playing his hand too well with Ari. Hmm.
Julie tells the house it's a double eviction. But they knew it had to happen.
A segment on Brandi acting out. She even dared people to say something bad about Julie. Then she decides to poke at James. She is right when she says he can be super cocky. Then Brandi gets upset at Marissa for not standing up for her.
PoV Comp -- compete one at a time at a secret location, then to HoH to watch the others compete. A BB Toy Company, action figure faces don't match the body. It's a morph type comp.
Omarosa up first. She tells us she doesn't want to win this veto and deliberately messes up. 38.52 minutes. She tells Ross that she thinks she should be the choice for a final two with him.
Ari up next. 9.10
James is up. Disqualified after he went past Ari's time.
Marissa is up. Disqualified after she went past Ari's time.
Mark is up. Disqualified after he went past Ari's time.
Brandi is up. Disqualified after she went past Ari's time.
ARI wins the Power of Veto!
Brandi wants Omarosa to be put in Ari's place. Mark isn't sure. He still wants Brandi out.
Mark tells James that he's nominating Marissa -- twofold in reasoning. He wants Brandi out and fears if he puts up Omarosa then Brandi might not be voted out. Plus Marissa has never been on the block.
Veto Meeting time -- Ari saves herself. Mark puts Marissa on the block.
Live Eviction One time --
Marissa - Won't campaign against Brandi, cancer survivor, love to family
Brandi - Amazing friendships, love a lot of you, hope Ari wins, shocked Omarosa and I get along.
The votes to evict:
James - Brandi
Ari - Marissa
Ross - Brandi
Omarosa - Brandi
No surprise here. Brandi is out. She was very good with Julie.
HoH Comp time - HG had the time to study works of art knowing they might be part of a comp. Sequestered in separate rooms. BB Auction. Questions on what they studied. True or False. Seven questions, point for each right.
Tiebreaker between James and Omarosa.
OMAROSA is the new HoH!
Live nominations -- Omarosa nominated Ross and Marissa.
Oh my.
Live veto comp! Art-Rageous. Six paintings, a replica in each of six rooms ... one not an exact match. Incorrect, eliminated. First one right wins.
ROSS wins the PoV!
The Veto Meeting. Ross saves himself. Omarosa puts James on the block with Marissa.
Live Eviction Two:
James - NO fun campaigning against Marissa. Consensus is no one can beat her in a final two. Keep me.
Marissa - Better chance of getting you to that final two!
Votes to evict:
Ari - James
Mark - Marissa
Ross - James
Buh-bye, James. He was cocky with Julie.
Sounds like they'll play an HoH before Sunday's show. Tomorrow is clips at 8pm ET/PT but the HoH will "start." (Probably not live.) I'll let you know what happens in a feeds report tomorrow.
