BB23: 1st Part of Final HOH Comp Show Blog Party - Sept. 26

 

Good evening! I hope everyone is doing well! Tonight's show should be a lot of filler and the first part of the three-part final HOH comp. Now, I know in real life that part two has already played out. However, since this is a show post and followed by many without live feeds, it's a NO SPOILERS ZONE. Until it shows on the show, please don't talk about it in the comments! If you wish to comment on live feeds, my most recent post is at this link right here.

We're down to the final three not only on the show, but in our blog pool as well. I was out long ago with Christian ... just when I was getting to like him! Here's the latest from the esteemed Blog Pool Lifeguard SueGee:

Azah Awasum - Dr Celine, Krysta Gibson, Nickelpeed, Rbennie
Derek Frazier - Glenn Allen, Jean from Tampa, Luckysmom, MikesGirl
Xavier Prather - Aya Marie, Donna NY, Ed in Ohio, Petals

JURY: Britini D'Angelo, Derek Xiao, Sarah Beth Steagall, Claire Rehfuss, Alyssa Lopez, Tiffany Mitchell, Hannah Chaddha, Kyland Young

I'll be live blogging, updating this entry with the major happenings as they air on the show here on the East Coast. Refresh the page to get the latest news. As always, the real party is in the comments area -- please feel free to join in on the fun!

The show is running a couple of minutes late here. But, since it's followed by the Tony Awards tonight, it won't be too late. 

They're touting it as "Part One of the Season Finale." 8:05PM here and we have lift-off! Julie does the intro in a black slacks suit. I will have to check again to see if it's the one she wore before. We have them pre-Kyland going in the Previously On segment. Nope, different outfit.

Xavier's lawyer lie, but what was the secret who got him to the final three? He posed as a bartender from the start. Derek is guessing he's a lawyer. Xavier says no showmances for him this summer. Made a final two with Derek F on Day One. Then he goes into all of his alliances. Cookout most important. Mission important as representation matters. He says he was the glue that kept the Cookout together. He threw comps through the start. He did want one HOH just to show he's capable. He knew all wanted Brent out.

But all did not go his way. He was nominated via the roulette wheel. He was nominated by himself even for winning a veto. (He actually knew he was safe every time.) He talks of accepting Kyland's final two. He wanted his biggest threat for the win out -- Tiffany. So, he had to convince Kyland to nominate her, then Hannah. Then at the final four, he won HOH and veto. He considered Kyland his biggest threat, so he had to go. He convinced Derek to vote him out. He made a promise to his brother before the brother passed that he would make sure to take care of his nephew.

Now Azah's story, hopefully not as long! She has seen every season, was ready to be the comp beast Alpha female ... then realized she couldn't. She had to go under the radar, relationship with her team Jokers, then the Cookout (where many were bigger targets than her). She came out squeaky clean in the Kyland-Xavier-Tiffany bloodbath. Low profile building personal relationships with all. She played an honest game and was honest with others even if it caused friction.

Joy in the final six because they set an example. She was not a target within the Cookout but won HOH when she needed it. Lied to Hannah (and feels bad about it) but targeting her was what she needed to do for her own game. Never saw the block until the final four. She wants to win to buy a new house for her parents.

Derek's turn. Of course, his father is mentioned. Has not won a comp but he will tell us how he dominated the game. He will go by Big D. Wants to represent Black, gay and big men. His social game will be his forte. Used charm and personality to build connections on Day One. Love at first sight with Frenchie, final two deals with him and Xavier. Then a final two with Kyland. He wanted the big competitors on his side. His best friend in the game is Azah.

He didn't win the most (NONE) competitions. Didn't need to as he was always good with the person who did win. He formed the Cookout -- he says. He put it together and lies to others so they don't guess. Pardon me ... I just threw up a bit in my mouth while typing his accomplishments.

Ahem. He couldn't work with Tiffany and almost quit the Cookout. In the end he stayed and the Cookout made the final six. He says it was his decision to evict Kyland (although we know that was Xavier). Perfect social game, deserves the win over anybody in the house. Gag me now people.

Finally time for Part One of the HOH comp!

It's an ocean theme -- Bouncy Boat Bash. They are on "boats" in an ocean setting with waves expected. It's reminiscent of the surfboard one a few seasons back. It's raining and becomes a Sharknado! Other fish are flying at them, too.

Derek out first -- 19 minutes. The only surprise is he lasted that long!

Azah slipped, 26 minutes.

XAVIER WINS FINAL HOH PART ONE!

BB23: Live Feeds Part Two HOH Comp Winner Bulletin - Sept. 25

 

Who will he be against in the final part?

This isn't a full-fledged report as they have done so little report-worthy. But the feeds were blocked for about three and a half hours for the second part of the HOH comp.

Guess who won? Remember, it was Azah and Derek competing to go up against Xavier in the last round. 

Will Derek actually WIN a comp? Will it be THIS COMP HE WINS?

Nope.

Azah won. She will go up against Xavier in the final round on the live finale show.

Yes, Derek is whining.

He has officially won absolutely NO comps this season. And, it wasn't because he was throwing them. He told Azah he can do nothing but sit around and eat. I will add in: lay about, dig in his ears, whine, fuss, curse, be catty, stick hands down pants, judge others, be misogynistic and be delusional. His only bragging rights might be cooking and cleaning.

Um. Not the best in table manners

Hands down pants or fingers in ears ...!

BB23: Final Three Celebrate/Videos From Home Show Blog Party - Sept. 24

 

Good evening! Now, I don't really know how much of this episode I'll actually be live-blogging. It will depend on its content. I'm thinking we will have some flashback segments, sitting around reminiscing over the season, videos from home, talking about others and such. Sure, I will be updating this entry -- refresh the page to get the latest news -- but it sounds like this rare Friday night episode might be mostly filler.

In real life Part One of the final HOH comp has been done. I posted a live feeds report about it. I don't believe that will air until Sunday evening. This here post is in the NO SPOILERS ZONE. If you wish to comment about that comp, please go to my earlier live feeds post.

As always, the real party is in the comments area. Please feel free to drop in and have a brew or two with us!

Sitting through Previously On although I think a lot of tonight will be about previously on ... yes, the announcer just said how they will be looking back on the season.

Of course they're talking about the Kyland uncouth exit last night. Derek is the only one to say he would have beat him up, of course. Thankfully the feast arrives and we don't have to hear Derek talking about how tough he is. @@

A Lucious (Xavier's Afro'd alter-ego) segment. Into how much Xavier and the others liked Christian. Now onto Britini memories. Frenchie talk. Although, now that I "know" Derek so much better than I did back then, I understand why he was drawn to rogue playing.

Now they Azah and Alyssa are talking about the men to whom they're attracted. Talk about "taco meat" hair on the chest.

Onto a cooking segment. Hannah cannot cook, they claim. The traditional diary room segments we didn't previously see are next -- napping, farting, cursing (bleeped), etc. Into the crying there.

Into a segment about getting to know each other. Claire talks about coming out and her sexuality to Derek X. Then into the Christian and Alyssa showmance.

Into pranking clips. All about Tiffany now. Requesting stuff from the Diary Room.

Now the three stand at the Memory Wall talking about the Cookout. An interesting talk about how Blacks are often perceived and how there are so many cultural differences among Blacks themselves as there are with any group. Each person brings something different to the table.

Videos from home. Derek's Mom. Xavier's CAT ... and family. Azah'xs parents. I like how Azah's father talked about her maintaining her integrity while Derek's mother told him to stop cussing.

BB23: Live Feeds - HoH Part 1 Winner - Sept. 23

 

Pillow, of course. He does NOT belong there!

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of The Final Three:

• The live feeds were blocked for over 12 hours yesterday.
• By the time they came back on, they had seen the videos from home (tonight's show) and played Part 1 of the three-part HOH comp.
• I know it will shock you.
• I hope you are sitting down.
• But, Derek ...
• ... lost!
• Heh.
• Of course, Xavier won.
• Since the feeds returned so late and they all went to bed fairly early for this group, there wasn't a lot of talk.
• No strategizing whatsoever.
• After all, what is there to strategize about?
• They talked about the Kyland exit last night, how disrespectful he was and has been all summer long, how he had done them wrong all summer long, etc.
• Derek, in particular, pulled out his Card of Delusion and kept talking Kyland's game down when compared to his own.
• Now, I thought Kyland's exit last night was very low class and I thought some of his moves and quirks over the summer were a bit sketchy.
• But Derek is in no place to talk.
• He did absolutely NOTHING all summer but lay around, get nasty-mouthed, judge others and whine.
• At least Kyland played the game.
• They also talked about their videos from home.
• Aw, Xavier misses his cat.
• That's all I have for you.

Still hanging all over Xavier. Sigh.

Always paces while he thinks game

BB23: Live Final Four Eviction Show Blog Party - Sept. 23

 

Welp, we're getting down to the wire. It's the final four about to become the final three tonight. We will see the Power of Veto ceremony in which Xavier can save someone ... or not. And, then whoever is NOT on the block is the sole vote and has to vote right in front of them! The power! But also the stress for that person! There is a show tomorrow night at 8PM EDT/PDT, then on Sunday as well. The season finale is next Wednesday, the 29th.

I'll be live blogging and constantly updating this entry with the latest happenings. Refresh the page to get the latest news! As always, the real party is in the comments area -- I hope to see you there!

Julie is wearing a shiny red dress and ... we're into the "Previously On" segment. ah, good -- we will see Tiffany and Hannah at the Jury House.

Day 79 and Julie promises us the final three. But we knew that. We go right into Derek's big dilemma ... Azah or Kyland or even ending up on the block himself. Good. He needs the stress. He's only had the stress of laying around and failing at every comp all season. Kyland, rightfully, is very uneasy. He is right -- he's been working and having to make decisions while Derek has not all summer.

Now Derek is whining to both Azah and Xavier. Azah is nervous but she really hasn't had the risks so far in the game that Kyland has had. She offers to off Kyland if Xavier takes her off the block. Derek is worried that going back on his word will look bad on his "resume." Um. What resume is that?

Derek thinks he has done so much more in the game than Azah. Um. Really. I've watched the live feeds all summer. You did NUTHIN' Derek. I'm sorry. I just can't get over how delusional he is! Neither him nor Azah have played the game well and they only made it this far due to Xavier wanting a sure win. Once again, the show is editing him to be something other than he is.

Xavier tells us he is considering having Azah come down because she will definitely do his bidding and vote out Kyland.

Tiffany enters the Jury House. She is a bit nervous about how they will take the reasoning behind the Cookout. She shows them the HOH when Kyland wins. Then the Veto comp. Alyssa thinks Kyland wants to take Xavier to the final two. Tiffany explains Day One Cookout and how she didn't want to go after anyone of color. First it was an understanding, then the name. It was a team goal to have the first Black winner. She tells them about the duo Master Plan.

Hannah arrives. She plays the DVDs of the HOH and Veto. Tiffany has it right ... Xavier will put himself against an easy win.

To the living room ...

Xavier does not use the POV.

Azah - Thanks God, shout outs. Big D, underestimated and overlooked, true best friend, love you.

Kyland - Shout outs. Derek - so thankful for all of you, what we have done is in my heart. Would mean the world for me ...

Derek - Loves both on a personal level, played for myself. Evicts Kyland. Kyland is not happy with Xavier. Ohh ... almost a fight as Kyland brings up the bad example he's setting for his nephew!

Julie announces doubling the prize for AFP - 50K. Vote by text 97979 houseguest name.

Tomorrow night the final three hear from their families. Sunday is Part One of the HOH. Wednesday, an hour later than usual, two hour season finale.
