Big Brother 26: Update #22

 

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


Second, 5 bonus points each to Carol, Teresa, Tessa and Viviana for texting me the word Paranoid!

Note: Carol’s bonus points weren’t being added properly. Everyone else’s were right and hers are now fixed.

For the first time this season, Makensy opens the show shuddering in the cold outdoor water (2 points for “Speak in opening vignette” to Teresa!).  SlayZeeAh had limited options to nominate, and Kimo isn’t happy about being on the block. Sorry guy, that’s what happens when the HOH is someone with whom you actively avoided talking game.  It’s a lesson, but was it learned? I doubt it. T’Kor “thinks the HOH may be targeting the Trio”.   

SHE NOMINATED 2/3 OF THEM

Chelsie is happy she wasn’t nominated, as she just orchestrated Quinn’s departure (1 point for “Shown on camera in gray [Quinn]” to Demi!). Godzilla tries to mend fences with the Trio, but they cringe at her voice. America cringes with you! 

5 bonus points if you send me the word Cringeworthy!

 As it’s time to pick players for the veto competition, JANKIE has them sing his theme song because he’s cruel and enjoys suffering.  Kimo roots for T’Kor to be picked so she can win, take one of the Trio off the block and they can evict whoever is renominated (1 point for “Mention ‘in this game’” to Tessa!).  Along with Godzilla and Chelsie, T’kor is indeed chosen (1 point each for “Picked for veto via random draw” to Brian, Viviana and Joe!).  This leads T’Kor to a cart-before-the-horse conundrum:  If she wins, who does she save?  Sounds like a tomorrow problem to me.

At the veto, it’s a puzzle where they must fit 10 circles of varying sizes into a large circle.  First place wins veto, 2nd place wins the JANKIE veto. It’s a hard puzzle, and Rubina hates JANKIE world, but she hates the Jury house more.  Priorities!  T’Kor, is completely distracted by Godzilla’s thinking aloud in her “nails on chalkboard” voice. Five special points if you send me the phrase nails on a chalkboard privately. This stands until noon Friday. In the end, Godzilla takes home the veto while SlayZeeAh takes home the JANKIE veto (4 points each for “Win veto” to Brian and Carol!).  This result is the worst disappointment for T’kor yet (1 point for “Mention ‘in this game’ to Joe!)

T’Kor seems resigned to being a renom but BB history is filled with people who’ve talked their way out of that.  Use that social game and get to work!

It's time to play Big Brother!

Kimo makes his pitch to Gen Z’er that the trio is not a comp threat (and he’s right –they’ve only won three competitions between them). Godzilla thinks she should use the veto on Kimo so they can backdoor T’Kor, with the added benefit of repairing her relationship with him, while SlayZeeAh can use her JANKIE veto on Rubina to backdoor Chelsie.  That’s an overly complicated way to get a ton of blood on their hands but SlayZeeAh hasn’t forgotten about how Chelsie got both Quinn and Joseph out (1 point for “Shown on camera in gray [Joseph]” to Evan!). 

To use the JANKIE veto, she has to knock down 5 bottles in 3 tosses at the carnival game.  She misses all three shots (on purpose, Carol thinks, and I agree) meaning she cannot use the JANKIE veto.    This is probably the smartest play she’s made all season.

At the veto ceremony, Godzilla follows through with her plan and takes Kimo off the block (5 points for “Someone used the veto on you” to Tessa!), (3 points for “Use veto on someone else” to Brian!). SlayZeeAh completes the plan and nominates T’Kor, who doesn’t handle being nominated well which also sends Rubina to tears (1 point each for “Shown on camera crying” to Evan and Joe!) and closes the show.

So, what does this mean for our scores? Brian grew his lead over 2nd place Demi thanks to Godzilla’s using the veto on Kimo.  Evan remains in 3rd but has narrowed the gap thanks to Rubina’s nomination and tears.  The battle for 4th couldn’t be tighter, as Carol, Tessa and Teresa are tied as Viviana and Joe battle it out to avoid the cellar! 

  1. Brian     250
  2. Demi     132
  3. Evan     126
  4. Tessa     121
  5. Carol     121
  6. Teresa   121
  7. Viviana 102
  8. Joe        100
