Big Brother 26: Update #21

 

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

Tessa	Cam (aka The Warrior)	Kimo
Brian	Tucker	Angela (aka Godzilla)
Evan	Joseph	Rubina
Joe	Cedric	T'Kor
Carol	Matt	Leah (aka SlayZeeAh)
Viviana	Chelsie	Brooklyn
Demi	Quinn	Lisa
Teresa	Kenny (aka Yo-Yo)	Makensy

Second, 10 points to Carol for finding both bonus points in the last update!

We start off with dearly departed Quinn talking to his crush SlayZeeAh (2 points each for “Speak in the opening vignette” to Demi and Carol!).  Chelsie feels bad for voting him out, but it was the wise move (1 point for “Shown on camera in gray” to Demi!).  Kimo feels like a man saved from Death Row for the 2^nd time, while Makensy has no remorse – he did nominate her after all.  SlayZeeAh, on the wrong side of the vote for the 2^nd straight week, is now ally-less (1 point for “Shown on camera in gray [Joseph]” to Evan!) and blames Makensy for it (1 point for “Mention ‘in this game’” to Carol!).

Cam, Chelsie and Makensy recount how Godzilla was angry at the vote when she stomps in….and claims she wanted Quinn to go but didn’t know how the votes fell.  Chelsie says it’s the same song every week with her. 

With 8 people left, it looks like there are two trios (T’Kor, Kimo and Rubina), (Cam, Chelsie and Makensy) and two floaters (SlayZeeAh and Godzilla).  I’m not sure who that makes the most powerful in the house. I guess it depends on who wins HOH.

Not content to stomp on one trio, Godzilla stomps in on T’Kors trio thinking they’re talking about her. 5 bonus points if you text me the word paranoid. Tell no one else. Offer good until the next update is posted. She’s wrong, but she doesn’t let that stop her from being made a fool of, again.  When T’Kor says Godzilla is at the bottom of everyone’s list, she’s right.

The houseguests are called to the living room by Ainsley’s replacement JANKIE.   It’s time to go to the backyard for pizza, ice cream, singing and dancing! AND HE LOCKS THEM OUT THERE FOR THE WHOLE WEEK!

He locks them out and tells them they must dance whenever he calls them. And they have to sing his theme song which is torturous.  #ButFirst they need to determine who is the HOH.  Standing on a pedestal, they hold a stick to a marshmallow pressed against a graham cracker.  Last person to drop wins HOH.  As she sees it, this is a must-win for SlayZeeAh who will be nominated by either trio (1 point for “Mention ‘I need to win HOH’” to Carol!).  

Pre-game favorite T’Kor is out in 30 minutes, but as long as Kimo and Rubina stay up she feels safe (1 point for “Mention ‘in this game’” to Evan!).  Kimo falls 2^nd  and Makensy 3^rd while Godzilla stands firm and unsuccessfully negotiates at the 5 hour mark. Bored, T’Kor asks her only remaining ally Rubina how to say 5 hours in her language. Thinking, Rubina loses concentration on the marshmallow, and it falls, sending Rubina to tears (1 point for “Shown on camera crying” to Evan!).

Godzilla, SlayZeeAh and The Warrior remain, and publicly promise not to nominate each other next week.  Believing she’s safe with either winner, Godzilla drops intentionally at the 9h 45m mark. The Warrior, eager to get the contest over, suggests the remaining two should battle it out on one leg. This drives Chelsie crazy, as she sees herself safe with Cam and a target otherwise.  10 minutes later, The Warrior drops leaving SlayZeeAh with her first HOH (5 points for “Win HOH” to Carol!) and (1 point for “Shown on camera crying” to Carol!).

Kimo, Chelsie, and Makensy are now suddenly willing to work with SlayZeeAh. WOW. REALLY? NOW? I WONDER WHY? For God’s sake, please be less transparent! What happens to two trios when the floater they’ve ignored all game suddenly winds up in power?

The only person not puckering up for SlayZeeAh is Godzilla, who suggests breaking up T’Kor’s trio for what she’d do if she’d won.  In the end, the Gen Z’er goes after Kimo and Rubina (3 points each for “Nominated for eviction” to Tessa and Evan!). Being outside is no picnic, as JANKIE keeps them moving every which way between Pizza, Ice Cream, Dancing and Singing, back to Pizza, back to singing and more dancing..

As I consider that we heard more from SlayZeeAh this episode than in every other episode combined, they announce there will be a 2^nd veto up for grabs next episode.

So what does this mean for our scores?  Demi remains in 2^nd place but has no active players. Evan gained a few thanks to Rubina’s nomination while Carol leapfrogged Joe, Viviana and Tessa thanks to SlayZeeAh’s performance, and 10 bonus points, landing in 5^th place just two points behind 4^th place Teresa! 

1. Brian    242
2. Demi     135
3. Evan     123
4. Teresa   113
5. Carol    111
6. Tessa    110
7. Viviana  96
8. Joe         94
