Before we get started, a reminder of who has whom:
Tucker reminds us “to thine own self be true” as we kick off Sunday’s show (2 points for “Speak in the opening vignette” to Brian!). When last we left, we said goodbye to President of the HOA, Brooklyn and Tucker is fired up (1 point for “Shown on camera in gray” to Viviana!) as he’s brought the Pentagon down to a Triangle. Chelsie is proud to have kept herself safe, and is now joined at the hip with Cam, who totally trusts her despite Chelsie being his sole vote to evict. (1 point for “Mention ‘in this game’” to Viviana!).
At the HOH competition, Chelsie and Quinn both feel they must win (1 point each for “Say ‘I need to win <<comp name>>’” to Viviana and Demi!). It’s a True/False game with 10 players, last one standing wins HOH and to the surprise of everyone including herself, T’Kor takes home the victory! (5 points for “Win HOH” to Joe!). SlayZeeAh can’t seem to get over the victory hump and is tired of “being used as others merch” (1 point for “Mention ‘in this game’” to Carol!). Not in power, Quinn decides to move to personal conversations rather than strategic ones because those keep blowing up in his face.
Following her win, everyone follows T’Kor around like ducklings. (1 point for “Mention ‘in this game’” to Joe!), (1 point for “Mention “it’s iconic” to Evan”).
Everyone’s reaction to her win is over-the-top bizarre. Tears flow from Rubina, Kimo and T’Kor herself (1 point each for “Shown on camera crying” to Evan, Tessa and Joe!) as Tucker tells us how special she is.
Cam and Chelsie don’t know where they stand with her following the Collective implosion and Cedric's eviction (1 point for “Shown on camera in gray” to Joe!), Rubina thinks dwindling numbers make nominations difficult, which boggles my mind as there are still 11 players left. Joseph and SlayZeeAh aren’t worried because no one remembers they’re still playing.
In the HOH room, Tucker, Rubina, T’Kor and Kimo decide Godzilla and Joseph are only numbers for them and form another alliance, the Friendzzzz. When I hear that name why do I envision a 90s boy-band? (3 points for “Name an alliance” to Evan!), (3 points each for “Be part of an official alliance” to Tessa, Brian, Evan and Joe!).
Tucker is called into the DR and finds out he’s been named the AI Instigator. As if the season didn’t already revolve around him! (7 points for “Be a secret team member” to Brian!). His first use of the power is to look like Quinn and out his own showmance with Rubina, signing off saying Pentagon 4 Life! As the house didn’t know this power was coming, they are all confused. Was it really Quinn? If not, who was it?
Tucker was trying to be funny, but Rubina is really upset, and he’s not allowed to tell her. She’s going to kill him when she finds out! However, the Tubina showmance is now officially out there (8 points each for “Be part of an officially named showmance” to Brian and Evan!).
As the houseguests try to figure out what the power is, and who has it, Carol predicts Joseph and SlayZeeAh will hook up at some point. I’ll give it 3-1 against, just because of his moustache. We also get some Godzilla tears, as her have-not week ends (1 point for “Shown on camera crying” to Brian!). That’s what you get for falling off the wall first!
T’Kor probes each person one-by-one on who to nominate. Taking a line from an old boss of mine, “When you go into a meeting with people above you, be prepared to share your opinion”. Makensy has opinions, but they’re all T’Kor’s alliance mates (1 point for “Mention ‘in this game’” to Joe!), so she’s an easy target. I guess we should amend that to “share your opinion…but make sure it’s the right one”. Cam has no targets and gives nothing and while Tucker doesn’t volunteer to be a pawn, he thinks she deserves an easy HOH even if it comes at his expense. WTF. IS. THAT?
Finally, the story of T'Kor and SlayZeeAh's "Who are you targeting" conversation told in pictures:
T'Kor
SlayZeeAh:
Finally, Godzilla stomps into The Friendzzzz meeting in the HOH room, crying that she feels like she’s going home. No one has even talked about that, and she’s in Sixth Avenue with T’Kor. Carol thinks she’s playing it up for sympathy to avoid nomination. I think she has main character syndrome and just assumes everyone’s always thinking about her.
At the nomination ceremony, it’s Makensy, Cam and Tucker who get the nods (3 points each for “Nominated for eviction” to Teresa, Tessa and Brian!). T’Kor claims the pool is so small she had no other choice. This doesn’t hold water for me. She’s the HOH and we’ve had 5 evictions meaning 10 people are still available. If I were not in an alliance with her, and not nominated, I’d assume she’s allied with absolutely everyone else.
With that done, what does this mean for our scores? Brian takes another huge jump with a massive 24-point week thanks to Tucker being both AI Instigator and in an official showmance. Demi remains in 2nd, but Joe takes a huge jump in a 3rd place tie with Viviana thanks to T’Kor’s HOH and alliance work. Teresa drops to 5th while Tessa remains in 6th with Evan, who climbed out of the cellar last week, just two points back due to Rubina’s alliance / showmance. With only SlayZeeAh left Carol looks up wistfully, wondering what might have been.
- Brian 170
- Demi 82
- Joe 69
- Viviana 69
- Teresa 67
- Tessa 65
- Evan 63
- Carol 47
