We left off on a cliffhanger, but the opening vignette
belongs to Kimo and Quinn (2 points each for “Speak in opening vignette” to
Tessa and Demi!). Julie has Covid so
it’s Jerry O’Connell hosting and he gets to finish off our cliffhanger!
Makensy has chosen to use the power of veto….on
Godzilla! (3 points for “Use veto on
someone else” to Teresa!), (5 points for “Someone else used veto on you” to
Brian!). For the love of god, people…
I legitimately can’t believe this season. In another year, and another player, came up
with this as a lie it’d never work. But
because Godzilla is so confidently incorrect, Chelsie breaks Rule
#2: Trust but Verify. I doubt Chelsie would believe Godzilla if she were truly
lying, so the fact that she’s just wrong…makes it work? This moment of unintentional brilliance is so
bizarre.
And so, Chelsie
follows through and nominates Quinn (3 points for “Nominated for Eviction”
to Demi!). Makensy thinks getting
Godzilla out is a wasted week if they can get Quinn instead, which makes Kimo
happy. Chelsie can spin it with the trio
as trying to keep Kimo safe too. It’s a
win for everyone except every rational viewer.
In the immediate aftermath of his nomination, Quinn goes
full super-fan, wanting to be as great as his idols (15 total points for “Mention
a previous season’s houseguest” to Demi [Dr. Will, Dan and Danielle]!).
Chelsie breaks down afterword, questioning what she’s done despite it being a
good game move (1 point for “Shown on camera crying” to Viviana!), (1 point
for “Mention ‘in this game’” to Viviana!). Cam reminds her that he ratted
out the Pentagon and then continued to act solid as if nothing happened (1
point each for “Shown on camera in gray” to Viviana and Joe!)
Quinn has SlayZeeAh on his side but he’s wrong to think Cam
and Makensy are with him. He’s broken trust so many times that they’d rather
keep the Trio (Kimo, Rubina, T’Kor) together than trust him. That’s saying something.
SlayZeeAh is upset with Godzilla because the elder threw her
under the bus to Chelsie. Weird how that happened right after she used the veto
on Godzilla, right? 5 bonus points if you message me the phrase she’s a plant.
Tell no one else. Offer good until the
next update is posted. (1 point for “Shown on camera crying” to Carol!).
Godzilla definitely told Chelsie about the
non-alliance but claims she never said SlayZeeAh founded it, and that her words
were twisted.
The play a game of Marry, Kiss, Evict and the girls all want
to marry Quinn. Chelsie is a good
wingman, and tries to guilt SlayZeeAh into kissing him but she won’t do it.
He asks if it’s because she doesn’t want to or because it’s not
a good strategic move. He’s over the
moon when she says “probably the 2nd one”. In the DR, she tells us she has a crush on
him. I feel like I’m back in high
school!
Quinn goes to work and his argument is solid: There’s a trio, they will 100% vote together
and I’ll target them if I’m here.
Chelsie and Makensy are both conflicted.
They THINK they can’t trust Quinn. They KNOW they can’t trust the Trio. The fact that they’re leaning against Quinn
is a mistake of priorities. If Kimo, T’Kor
or Rubina win HOH next week, one or both of Makensy and Chelsie will be nominated. After being saved, Quinn wouldn’t. To me, that’s the math that’s needed.
Last week in his speech, Kimo leaned on representing his
community and because it worked, he does it again. This time, however, Quinn’s speech is passionate
and terrific (10 points in total for “Reference previous season’s houseguest”
to Demi! [Brittney and DJ Showtime]) but he knows like Icarus, he flew too close
to the sun (1 point for “Mention ‘in this game’” to Demi!)
Last week, Makensy made up her mind as the words were coming
out. Not so this week, as she easily
votes out Quinn and he’s evicted by a 4-2 vote becoming the first member of the
Jury (2 points for “Received vote against” to Tessa!), (4 points for “Received
vote against” to Demi!), (-2 points for “Evicted” against Demi!),
and (2 points for “Jury” to Demi!).
No tears are shed as he leaves, which also says a lot.
So what does this mean for our scores? Brian leads, but Demi rockets into 2nd place thanks
to a HUGE 37 point week by Quinn on his way out the door which ends Demi’s
game. Get ‘em next year! Evan picked up 5 bonus points while Teresa,
Tessa, Viviana, Joe and Carol kept pace with each other.
- Brian 242
- Demi 131
- Evan 117
- Teresa 113
- Tessa 102
- Viviana 96
- Joe 93
- Carol 91
