Second, 5 bonus points each to Carol and Marissa for sending me the phrase “Follow the rules or else!”. They exist to protect you!

We pick up following Kimo and Rubina’s nomination with Rubina falling out of the hammock (2 points for “Speak in opening vignette” [Rubina] to Marissa!). HOH Makensy is proud of her nominations but they’re the wrong ones. Rule #3: Play to Win clearly states “mid to late game opportunities to dismiss a stronger player shall not be passed up even if allied with that player”. 

Makensy and Chelise talk about possibly backdooring The Warrior, as Makensy rightly thinks he hasn’t done anything for them (1 point for “Mention ‘in this game’” [Makensy] to Dalphyne!) but Chelsie sees that as Makensy appeasing Rubina and…

Chelsie takes that information back to The Warrior but he waves her off, saying she’s overthinking things and doubts Rubina can get Makensy to turn against them.  She’s so passionate and active, and he’s so laid back. They’re destined to be together, aggravating the crap out of each other, forever.

They all get to play in the Veto, and it’s BB Comics week!  Makensy is still targeting Rubina, but Chelsie feels all the pressure to make sure nominations don’t change (1 point for “Mention ‘I need to win Veto’” [Chelsie] to Carol!).  The Warrior is SO SLOW that he almost has to be throwing it, and Rubina gets so many wrong that it’s like she’s trying to mess it up.

At the reveal, the top 3 are….Chelsie….Makensy…and….Kimo?  He couldn’t even beat Kimo???

WTF Cam???

But she can take solace in the fact that she won Veto and holds all the power this week!  (4 points for “Win Veto” [Makensy] to Dalphyne!).  When they talk about their methods, The Warrior says his time was so bad because he got tired and took breaks.

"If looks could kill. You’d be lying on the floor. You’d be begging me please, please baby don’t hurt me no more!"  

10 bonus points each for the song and the artist!  Tell no one else. Offer good until next update.

This one is hard. and no googling/Binging/ChatGPTing or otherwiseing. It’s in your head or it isn’t.

Chelsie and Makensy think he has to be throwing all these comps and they’re not happy about it. Having power is great, but it also means a lot of blood on your hands.  (1 point for “Mention ‘BB comics is iconic’” [Chelsie] to Carol!) He doesn’t have any of that blood.  What they leave out is that he also has no argument for why should win over anyone left.  He claims football is easy, these comps are hard, but Makensy doesn’t truly believe him.  He is a Division 1 football player after all!

Tell 'em, Potter!

At the veto meeting, Makensy has the chance to make a huge move and get Chelsie out but for the first time this season the veto is not used. Kimo and Rubina stay on the block.  What a mistake. She had the chance to nominate her. She had the chance to backdoor her and she didn’t. She broke the rules and it’s probably going to cost her the game.

They showed Jury but no points were scored there, so….moving on!

They get words of encouragement from home which sends Makensy, Kimo and Chelsie to tears (1 point each for “Shown on camera crying” [Makensy], [Kimo], [Chelsie] to Dalphyne, Jay and Carol!)

Rubina makes her “all girls” pitch to Chelsie and Makensy. Chelsie is fine with a woman winner, as long as it’s her. They tell Rubina what she wants to hear but when Chelsie tells The Warrior about it, he immediately sees it as Makensy playing both sides.  A misconception she’s more than willing to let him believe.

Kimo finally makes some headway with The Warrior to see the girls as unit. He tries moving Chelsie to believe Makensy is the biggest threat and she mouths the words but that’s all it is.

At the speeches, Kimo asks them to let him him playing (1 point for “Mention ‘in this game’” [Kimo] to Jay!)  but his pleas fall on deaf ears.  He’s evicted 2-0, becoming Juror #5 (2 points for “Received vote against” [Kimo] to Jay!), (-2 points for “Evicted” [Kimo] against Jay!) and (2 points for “Jury Member” [Kimo] to Jay!).

The forever pawn has finally fallen

In his interview, he thinks the target wound up on the trio because they were too visibly close with each other.  That’s not why you’re sitting there, Kimo. You’re sitting there because you can’t win a competition.

So, what does this mean for our scores?  2nd place Marissa is riding bonus points toward a possible victory, now down only 30 to me.  3rd place Carol is 80 points behind but she has both Chelsie and The Warrior remaining, and goes for bonus points regularly as well.  Jen remains in 4th place, and Jay remains in 5th but he’s lost his last player.  Dalphyne is 16 points behind him and has Makensy left so there’s a decent chance she passes him but it’s over for Roberta and Ricky.  Next year!
