Big Brother 26: Champion's League Update #18

 

Before we get started, a reminder on who has whom:

Carol	Cam	Cheslie
Scott	Tucker	Angela (aka Godzilla)
Jen	Quinn	Brooklyn
Jay	Lisa	Kimo
Ricky	Matt	Leah (aka SlayZeeAh)
Dalphyne	Makensy	Kenny (aka Yo-Yo)
Marissa	T'Kor	Rubina
Roberta	Cedric	Joseph

 Second, 5 points to Carol and Marissa for finding the secret points in the last post!  5 more points to Carol for knowing “Mephistopheles is not your name. I know what you’re up to just the same.” is from the Police’s song “Wrapped around your finger”, which perfectly describes SlayZeeAh’s friendzone relationship with Quinn and dearly, departed Joseph.

Following the eviction ceremony, Rubina thinks the night couldn’t have gone better, In the post-eviction flashback, we see Makensy and Chelsie cry with Kimo about how his speech impacted them while SlayZeeAh laments Joseph’s eviction (1 point each for “Shown on camera crying” to Dalphyne, Carol, Jay and Ricky!), (1 point for “Shown on camera in gray” to Roberta!)

As Quinn can’t believe his plans got blown up again (1 point for “Shown on camera crying” to Jen!) we are reminded how his botch led to Cedric’s eviction (1 point for “Shown on camera in gray” to Roberta!).   Godzilla tells Kimo she wanted to keep him around but voted to evict him to be on the right side of the vote, which he absolutely does not believe. (1 point for “Mention ‘in this game’” to me!)

Later, Chelsie does damage control after flipping her vote against Cam’s wishes (1 point for “Mention ‘in this game’” to Carol!) but Cam doesn’t understand why she flipped and is ready for war. 5 points if you text me the word war.  Message me directly. Tell no one else. Offer good until the next update is posted. Presumably that would include wearing a shirt and doing something, so I’ll categorize that as “unlikely”. 

As he is going to war, henceforth Cam’s nickname shall be “The Warrior” (he typed, tongue planted firmly in cheek.)

At the HOH comp, the houseguests recall details from videos they watched overnight, and Kimo thinks it’s his time to shine (1 point for “Mention ‘I need to win HOH’” to Jay!).  7 Questions, most right wins.  Ties broken by guessing number of seconds the Egg Drop comp took.  After 4 questions, only Rubina has one wrong.  Godzilla misses Q’s 5, 6 and 7 while SlayZeeAh and T’Kor miss #7.  After 7 questions, The Warrior, Kimo, Chelsie and Makensy remain. The Warrior knows it’s his time to shine (1 point for “Mention ‘I need to win HOH’” to Carol!) but since it’s a math question, it winds up being Chelsie’s time to shine and she takes home her 2^nd HOH of the season (5 points for “Win HOH” to Carol!)

Following the competition she strategizes about the future. What she truly wants is for Cam to want her, but he’d rather flirt with Makensy and SlayZeeAh. She could focus on getting revenge but instead looks to protect herself and I respect that level of thinking.

Too afraid to approach the HOH, Godzilla enlists The Warrior to do it for her while Chelsie listens at the door.  God, I love this season.  Anyway, Chelsie tells us Godzilla needs to come to her, but she mopes around outside instead.  Finally, Chelsie invites her to the HOH room to do the Liar’s Dance. Godzilla makes her case - she’s easy pickings, you know. Chelsie is happy to give her the opportunity to play for veto so Godzilla can “use that to her advantage” the way Taylor did (1 point for “Shown on camera crying” to me!), (5 points for “Mention a previous season’s houseguest (Taylor)” to Carol!).  Sweet Jesus, these two are spinning their BS so badly! There was less spin last week at the U.S. Open!

In other news, a passing bird uses T’Kor as a port-a-pottie and she cleaned herself off in the kitchen sink!  FOR GODS SAKE THE BATHROOM IS RIGHT THERE!

A visual representation of T'Kor's week

Not finished getting crapped on, Chelsie also uses T’Kor as a port-a-pottie, suggesting T’Kor’s #1 ally Kimo as a pawn.  T’kor is fine with it, if they have the votes.  She’s much more on Chelsie’s side than Chelsie is on T’Kors.  Kimo agrees to it, like an idiot (3 points for “Agree to go up as a pawn” to Jay!). Not finished using her power, Chelsie pumps SlayZeeAh for information but….like…SlayZeeAh…is….like…not….like….saying…like…anything….like…useful.

 

For God’s Sake! Say something! Say it! Say it!

For the 2^nd time this season, SlayZeeAh’s reluctance to name a target has her in the HOH’s crosshairs, and Chelsie sees that Cam would choose both her and Makensy over Chelsie if it came down to it.  Unrequited love is the most painful, alas!

In the end, Kimo and Godzilla are nominated, which leads Godzilla to channel Taylor and bust out some chips! (3 points each for “Nominated for eviction” to Jay and me!), (5 points for “Mention a previous season’s houseguest (Taylor) to me!). If I were SlayZeeah, I wouldn’t get too comfortable.

So, what does this mean for our scores?  I kept pace with 2^nd place Marissa in this update, maintaining a huge lead thanks to Godzilla’s nomination and the Taylor comp.  Jay makes a move toward 3^rd place Jen thanks to Kimo’s nomination while Roberta and Dalphyne stay static in 5^th and 6^th while Carol explodes out of the cellar, passing now-8^th place Ricky thanks to secret/bonus points and Chelsie's HOH win!
