Big Brother 26: Update #24

 

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

Second, 5 bonus points to both Tessa and Carol for sending me the phrases “Dat’s It”!

We pick up following T’Kor’s eviction with Godzilla (2 points for “Speak in opening vignette” to Brian!). Makensy wants to win to get some power (1 point for “Mention ‘in this game’” [Makensy] to Teresa!), while Godzilla wants to target half of the house, but mostly Chelsie and Kimo feels like the sitting duck he is.  (1 point for “Say ‘I need to win HOH’” [Kimo] to Tessa!)

The HOH puzzle is hard, but Makensy thinks her experience as a construction project manager will help her.  Ummm…. sure. Why not?   SlayZeeAh is openly rooting for Godzilla because that’s the only person she can trust (1 point for “Mention ‘in this game’”[SlayZeeAh] to Carol!).  You know your game has gone to shit when…

The Warrior hates this puzzle and all I can think is how they’d never be able to show me on TV, I’d be cursing so much.  Godzilla buzzes in early and silently cheers whenever she hears other people’s stacks fall.  Rubina gets a stack as high as she is, 5 points if you send me the word munchkin. Tell no one else. Offer good until the next update is posted but it’s no match for Makensy’s project management experience as she takes home her first HOH! (5 points for “Win HOH” [Makensy] to Teresa!). Chelsie wants Makensy to take a shot at Godzilla, while Rubina thinks she’s target thanks to T’Kors eviction (1 point for “Shown on camera in gray” [T’Kor] to Joe!)

Back in JANKIE world, the houseguests watch a returned Ainsley…. straight up murder him?  I love me some BattleBots, but this AI on AI violence felt gratuitous.  Pour one out for JANKIE, I guess.  It’s Ainsley’s world now.

Gone too soon

As they return to the house, Makensy thinks she has to pick between remaining duos, Rubina (shockingly) thinks everyone else is a better target, Godzilla hopes not to get nominated, Chelsie sees SlayZeeAh as a threat since she’s never been nominated (1 point for “Mention ‘in this game’” [Chelsie] to Viviana!), and Kimo needs to find a way to stay off the block (1 point for “Mention ‘in this game’”[Kimo] to Tessa!)

Ainsley calls them to say JANKIE was too easy on them and introduces…. the iconic ZINGBOT!  (1 point for “Mention ‘this is iconic’” [Chelsie] to Viviana!).  Some of the zings are weak, but his limerick to Rubina, telling Chelsie she hasn’t a prayer with Cam his crazy eyes song to Godzilla had me and Carol rolling (1 point for “Shown on camera in gray” [Matt] to Carol!). Godzilla doesn’t handle her zing well, and winds up in tears (1 point for “Shown on camera crying” [Godzilla] to Brian!).

New HOH Makensy tells both Kimo and Godzilla she wants the other one gone, which neither of them actually believes.   Chelsie pushes for SlayZeeAh to be a nom, bringing up the Gen Z’ers old final two with Brooklyn (1 point for “Shown on camera in gray” [Brooklyn] to Viviana!) but Makensy rightly sees nominating the lazy one as losing her jury vote, and her final twos with Joseph and Quinn (1 point each for “Shown on camera in gray” [Joseph], [Quinn] to Evan and Demi!)

At the nomination ceremony, Makensy holds true to her original plan putting Godzilla and Kimo on the block (3 points for “Nominated for Eviction” [Godzilla], [Kimo] to Brian and Tessa!).  Chelsie sees getting SlayZeeAh out as a priority and needs to win the upcoming veto (1 point for “Say “I need to win Veto” to Viviana!).

So what does this do for our scores?  1^st place Brian picks up 6 thanks to Godzilla’s nomination and waterworks as 2^nd place Carol gains a few bonus points.  Tessa moves into a 3^rd place tie with Demi thanks to Kimo’s nomination and her own bonus points. Evan drops to 5th and could fall further as Makensy drives 6^th place Teresa’s pushup the standings.  Finally, 7^th place Viviana has broken her tie with 8^th place Joe.
