Before we kick off, a reminder of who has who:
We pick up with Cedric in the DR as no one spoke in the opening
vignette. The 21-year old ex-Marine knows Godzilla is the target and if she
goes, his HOH will be squeaky clean. Makensy
thinks Cedric might backdoor her to get rid of her power, but Chelsie doubts
it. Quinn and T’Kor want to start making
big moves but he can’t until Godzilla is gone.
Then we find out that Quinn made the mistake of breaking Rules
#1: STFU and #4: Know Your Audience.
He told Kimo about the power and, unfortunately for Quinn, Kimo has a
crush on Tucker and spills the secret to the chef.
Tucker thought Lisa had the power (1 point for “Shown on
camera in gray” to Demi!) and he knows Quinn is smart. He didn’t believe Godzilla
when she told him Quinn had the power but he does now (1 point for “Mention ‘in
this game’ to Brian!). Kimo swears
Tucker to secrecy. I’m not sure how Tucker kept from laughing while he agreed –
I couldn’t stop laughing.
We switch over
to Kenney and T’Kor as the elder statesman shares how difficult it is for him
to be away from his kids (1 point for “Mention ‘in this game’” to Teresa!). As
a father, I feel bad for him but as a viewer he infuriates me. He tells Cedric he wants to win veto….so he
can use it on Godzilla….and get voted out.
(Kenney on the
up) I can’t wait to crush this veto!
(Kenney on the
down…) But I can’t stand being away from my kids…
(Kenney on the
up!) Who I don’t hope to see too soon!
(Kenney on the down…)
But it kills me being away from them…
(Kenney on the
up) As I want them to see dad compete and win!
Cedric needs to
win Veto to keep his HOH squeaky clean (1 point for “Say “I need to win
<< comp name>> to Joe!). All of this up and down has earned
Kenney a new nickname. Henceforth, he shall be known as Yo-Yo.
At the competition, they must maneuver a bulky, oddly shaped object through a maze without touching the vines, and it’s harder than it looks. Cedric is all over the vines, as is Godzilla whose “I’m just going to rush” plan sounds great if she’s planning to throw the comp. Leah wants to become one with the object, but the object doesn’t realize how cute she is. Meanwhile all Makensy can picture is
Yo-yo struggles but it looks like Tucker, who’s speaking with
a bad Australian accent for some unknown reason, is going quickly. At the reveal, it’s Tucker who finished with
the most power left and fastest time. (4 points for “Win veto” to Brian!). Now that he’s competed, Yo-Yo feels like
he’s back in the game.
Since Tucker won veto, Cedric needs another nom. Tucker tries to convince him to put up Makensy to get rid of her power. The chef also tells Cedric and Cam about Quinn’s power, which Quinn didn’t share with his so-called alliance mates. So much for Tucker promising not to say anything.
Take note, would be Survivor or Big Brother players. “I’m going to share this information in hopes
of building trust” does not work. The person you’re sharing with will ALWAYS share
it – and for the exact same reason!
JUST. SHUT. UP.
Ok, putting my soapbox away.
Talking with Quinn, Cedric gives him many opportunities to come clean, but Quinn won’t do it. (1 point for “Mention ‘in this game’” to Joe!). Since they’re in the Pentagon together, Cedric pushes Makensy to be a pawn, even knowing she has America’s Veto. It’s obvious to anyone with a working brain cell that she’d use the power, but Cedric thinks he can convince her not to. Good luck with that.
In the HOH room, Tucker pitches a wild plan to Cam, Cedric and Yo-Yo. If Tucker uses the veto on Godzilla, Cedric can nominate Quinn in her place. The chef is convinced Quinn would beat the elderly in the AI Arena comp. He only trusts himself to take Quinn out. It’s the perfect backdoor. He’s completely unsuspecting and if it blows up, Cedric can blame Tucker. Does anyone think Cedric wishes now that Yo-Yo had won veto? Asking for a friend…
At the veto ceremony, Tucker does indeed use the veto…on Godzilla!
(5 points for “Use veto on someone else” to Brian!) and (3 points for “Someone
uses veto on you” to Brian!). The house is dumbfounded, and by that, I mean
they’re literally slack jawed.
According to my crack research staff, this is only the 6th
time in Big Brother history that a veto-winning nominee hasn’t used the veto on
themselves.
It's decision time for Cedric, and he chooses to nominate
Makensy (3 points for “Nominated for eviction” to Teresa!). She says no hard feelings, but that’s a
lie. She’s pissed. Tucker is seething
mad, saying he hopes Cedric and his stupid moves are up next week without
immunity, finally telling Makensy she wasn’t supposed to be nominated.
And then she uses America’s Veto. She comes off the block
and America will choose her replacement.
“Let the games begin”, says Tucker.
Indeed.
In their DR sessions, Makensy sees her and Tucker going
after Cedric, while Quinn feels safe as he’s the most insulated person in the
house (1 point for “Mention ‘in this game’” to Demi!) and Cedric realizes his squeaky-clean HOH is
now dirty.
Tucker’s “Let the games begin” quote kicks off Thursday’s
show (2 points for “Speak in opening vignette” to Brian!) and Godzilla quickly
tuns from overdramatic thankful (to the houseguests) to lizard tyrant (in the
DR), as she can’t wait for everyone else to squirm. In her three weeks, she’s won a “lucky” HOH, survived
the block by being up against the only person more annoying than her, and been
saved with the veto used by ANOTHER NOMINEE.
She’s protected from on-high by the devil himself. (5
points if you get the reference! Text me directly!)
We flash back to the night before the veto where Cedric
tells Tucker to use it on himself, “I’m still doing it”, Tucker says absolutely
ignoring the HOH. This is the chaos I
tune in for!
Post-veto meeting, Tucker is PISSED that he risked
everything to expose the powers and Cedric blew the plan up. (1 point for “Mention
‘in this game’” to Brian!). In their
instant classic, knock-down, drag-out argument, Tucker lies about not being
told by Cedric, and Cedric refuses to be enraged by Tucker’s open threats. I’ll give it to Cedric here – if he’s close
to losing his cool, we can’t tell.
Another flashback shows how Cedric changed his mind on backdooring
Quinn following a conversation with the Pentagon. For some unknown reason the Pentagon
believed Makensy wouldn’t use her power. Are they high?
Makensy corners Cedric, asking him if she was the plan
because Tucker said she wasn’t and Cedric…
Cedric calls everyone together, trying to put Tucker on the
spot. Tucker, however, is a crazy,
unpredictable bulldozer and he sells out EVERYONE. Cedric. Quinn. Even Kimo. He tells the house about
Quinn’s power, that Kimo told him and the plan with Cedric. Quinn FINALLY comes clean (1 point for “Mention
‘in this game’” to Demi!), but still tries to hide when Tucker calls him a
great player saying, “Great players never get called out like this”.
In his DR session, Quinn thinks they’d be idiots to keep him
if he’s still on the block and does The Official Apology Tour ™. Leah just wants
to continue to slay. She’s the most Gen
Z contestant yet and needs a nickname. I’ll
open this one up to suggestions. Any thoughts? 2 points to the winner! They go around the house
and while Rubina thinks it’ll be Quinn, everyone else thinks America will
nominate them.
Before we find out who America chose, Tucker and Cedric get
into another argument about the broken plan that ends with Tucker outright
threatening (game-wise) the 21-year-old and telling Chelsie he has the numbers
to stay regardless, which she scoffs at (1 point for “Mention ‘in this game’”
to Viviana!)
At the gathering, Julie announces that Quinn has been named America’s nominee (3 points for “Nominated for Eviction” to Demi!). Tucker looks bonkers crazy as they go to the AI Arena.
It’s a ball whirlwind and the first person to store 20 Red balls wins. Tucker has 5 in a second, and absolutely destroys the AI Arena again, getting to 20 before either Yo-Yo or Quinn has 10 (4 points for “Win special comp” to Brian!). When it’s announced, Godzilla bursts into tears (1 point for “Shown on camera crying” to Brian!).
During the awkward plotting moments before speeches and
votes, Yo-Yo asks T’Kor to vote him out. Quinn has a great speech ready, insulting
Tucker while invoking Americory (5 points for “Reference a previous season’s
houseguest” to Demi!) while Yo-Yo
has no idea how to talk (1 point for “Mention ‘in this game’” to Teresa!).
At the vote, only Tucker votes to get rid of Quinn, everyone
else gives Yo-Yo the release he wanted, and he’s evicted (1 point for “Received
vote against” to Demi!), (11 points for “Received vote against” to Teresa!), and
(-2 points for “Evicted” against Teresa!).
Whew. That as a lot….
but what does it mean for the game?
Coming into Wednesday’s show, Brian had an 8-point lead on
Demi. He now leads the 2nd
place Demi by 23 points, as Quinn’s actions couldn’t keep up with Tucker and Godzilla’s
antics! Teresa jumps into 3rd place thanks to Yo-Yo’s 11-point
eviction and Carol slides down to 4th. Tessa drops down to 5th while Joe
moves into a 6th place tie with Viviana and Evan wonders what Joseph
and Rubina have to do to get screen time?
- Brian 88
- Demi 65
- Teresa 48
- Carol 41
- Tessa 33
- Joe 31
- Viviana 31
- Evan 11
