We are in the final stretches of Big Brother 23 after more or less 7 predictable weeks we might have ONE week coming up that is “expect the unexpected”. Seriously though when was the last time this show was unexpected? This is how the week went down. Tiffany went to win the Head of household competition and nominated Xavier and Alyssa. Alyssa was her target. Alyssa won the POwer of veto and used it on herself. Tiffany nominated Claire in her place. Claire is going to be evicted tonight. If Alyssa doesn’t win HOH or Veto I would expect her to leave tonight as well.

6:08 pm Feeds return
Hannah apologizes to X for putting him up.
Tiffany says Kyland is pissed off at her.
6:13 pm Hannah apologizing again to Xavier.
Xavier says it’s no problem “Don’t worry about Ky”
Xavier – he was acting real scary.. I was like dog..
Xavier tells her he hopes she’s not doing any damage control she did what needed to be done.
6:16 pm Kyland and BIGD hug it out
6:21 pm Kyland and Tiffany
talking about the Double
Tiffany – it happened so fast
Tiffany says she told Hannah no. Don’t nominate Ky. “I don’t want him to go”
Kyland tells her he’s fine “I am good now” they hug. Tiffany is happy. “Can you win this HOH if I don’t”
Hannah is running around doing one on ones “I never got a chance to do my one on ones”
6:50 pm Hannah and DF
DF says he’s gunning for the HOH.
DF – Azah’s going for Ky, I’m going for Tiff, You’re going for Ky, I don’t know what Tiff is doing going for Ky or X.
Hanna – Tiff is struggling right now
DF – if not she’s coming for me
Hannah – I don’t think that’s the case BIGD. From my conversations, nobody is looking at you right now
Hannah – if I win HOH am I going up as a pawn
Df – YES, You know that. Dont’ worry about it If Tiffany won veto I’m throwing Kylands a$$ up
6:45 pm Tiffany and Xavier
Tiff – I’m very proud I think America’s very proud
6:46 pm DF and X
DF – I still want Tiffany out cause I don’t want to play with her. I don’t want her to last longer. I’m praying I can win this if it’s something you can throw to me throw it to me.
X – okay
DF – unless you want it badly. I’m going to take the shot. I’m putting Tiffany and Hannah on the block.
DF – Hannah comes down then I’m going put up Ky. We should have the votes to Keep Ky
X – Probably
DF – I’m going to try my best
DF – I want Tiffany to go home because of what she said and I don’t want to lose that focus
DF says he doesn’t trust but wants him around this week “After Tiffany, we take out Ky”
Xavier – I agree
Xavier says he might throw both Tiff and Ky on the block. “If nominations stay the same let the cookout decide”
Df – ok if you want to do that
6:50 pm Xavier
X – I want this HOH cause at this point I’m competing there’s no more throwing sh1t. I’ve been waiting to do all damn summer.
Kyland joins him they hug
This is just awful.
It is funny that no one is really looking at Hannah so if she makes the most direct hit at the crucial time she may be given a fighting chance to get close to the end
I’m wondering if Hannah could be in trouble if X wins HOH and she is on the block with Tiff at the end of the week,BigD votes out Tiff,Ky votes out Hannah,leaving Azah as the deciding vote,on her own I think she’d vote out Hannah unless X can puppet her to vote out Tiff.
Its obviously manipulated season ever
Says every person of color for the past 22 seasons! #thecookout
So all Black alliance Not racist but an all White alliance playing for their ‘culture’ Racist. This is why people are angry. Its okay for blacks to vote out on skin colour and its Nothing to see here. Funny.
The idea of “reverse racism” ignores the basic reality of who holds more power and privilege by assuming that everyone starts off on an even playing field. Its premise completely disregards any of the overwhelming evidence of institutionalized racism.
On the west coast so can someone tell me if DF FINALLY figured out how to say “I vote to evict”????????
I sadly vote to evict
No he doesn’t say vote to evict, he either says” I sadly to evict or I am sorry to evict”, sometimes he mumbles something else that doesn’t make sense. Never he has been able to say successful ” I sadly vote to evict “, never! And he has attempted about 10 times so far, sad!
I read he say I sadly vote to evote there was a article about it
No he has not lol
He did!!! I think he’s been practicing in the DR ???
Nope, he said “I sadly to evict”
Horizontal DF figures out very little, if anything.
The first one was close …. “I sadly evict Claire”
The second he looked like he just found out his dog died & was off (not to evote off but till wrong) “I sadly to evict my best friend, my co-host (Big Blue Couch) Alyssa”
Nope, same old “I sadly to evict”
He’s no rocket scientist.
I’d say it sucks to be Claire, but in this season it just sucks to not be black.
Just like all the other TWENTY SOMETHING seasons when it sucked TO BE black
Right. No one ever considered how Black fans of the show felt when year after year Black people go out first, they very rarely made it to jury and Jodi didn’t even make it in the house!! I am very proud of the Cookout for a well executed plan and I don’t care who don’t like it
It’s been a potent alliance. There were times when I thought for sure it would break I’m surprised it hadn’t. Good job!
Yep, I agree, it’s rare that one alliance has several smart, strategic players with social skills and to still keep that alliance intact instead of using all those skills against each other prematurely, well done (after some nailbiting). I prefer this to alliances in the past where just one person drove the alliance and decided everything and the group just followed without much input or a little challenge.
Yes Simon! ! They did a good job. I am truly surprised that they all went this far. I really wish they would have kept Claire though and evicted Xavier
Exactly. Couldn’t agree more. The Cookout is an exceptional alliance, their level of gametalk and strategizing was so good. Still controlling the season without winning all the HOHs (especially in the beginning), I mean wow. And I especially appreciated how they didn’t vilify or ostracize the people on a personal level before they voted them out, like we used to see in past seasons, but instead still played games together, laughed and danced together, still had fun with each other and treated them with respect. Just all around classy gameplay that doesn’t have to rely on those High School tactics.
Except for Tiffany and Hannah with Sara Beth….they made fun of her all the time and treated her like shit once they knew she was going fo sure. Not classy at all.
Can we help it that blacks don’t make up even close to a majority of the U.S. population?
Watch BB in other countries if you expect a black majority cast. I have and, even though some seasons are older, they were quite good.
Respectfully, I think you’re missing the point here, but am too tired to explain the same points over and over.
Quite frankly I am black and come froma big family and being in BB house would give PTSD.
Did not suck any more than being the old player in the house.
I dont recall an alliance being made saying to get out the opposite race…This season was racist as shit.
You know very well that what you are describing did not happen this season. As veteran Cody Nickson from Season 19 correctly statet, the Cookout never said to get out another race, they did not form the alliance and acted out of hate against white people, they acted out of trust FOR their community, just like Cody said he would have gravitated towards fellow veterans in the game out of trust. You clearly don’t understand what racism is, which would be ignorance. Or you do understand and you willfully try to turn its meaning on its head. And calling it “the opposite race”?? I see you, man, I see you… Some of the other comments above as well: oversimplifying, ignoring definitions and facts, projecting own hate onto others… classic racism.
100% Agree
It wasn’t right then and it’s not right now! Voting people out, even other visible minorities, based on their skin colour is revolting and regressive! It’s not the players I fault for this however, but rather CBS who, in a bid to stop hemorrhaging ratings and to make up for casting blatantly racist white knobs in previous seasons, have orchestrated this nonsense. I wasn’t completely convinced of CBS’ puppetry until I saw Alyssa quite obviously (and poorly acted at that) throw both the HOH and the Veto. Her “performance” in the veto comp was especially cringe-worthy.
They were voting with their alliance that they committed to day one.
I wish people like you would leave this for him. You do nothing but delineate hate and conspiracy theories. I enjoy this site and watch the show because it’s supposed to be fun and a break from work and normal life. It’s not to listen to your racist and meaningless banter meant to spread hate. You should only hope to be as classy as Claire was someday.
First of all, if you don’t like different opinions, then don’t read what others have to say on a public forum! You don’t need to come here in order to watch the show so if you’re so sensitive to differing opinions, maybe it’s you who should leave? Secondly, where exactly is this “racist…banter meant to spread hate” in my comment? I didn’t realize CBS was a race? Lol! I also said nothing about Claire yet you’re bringing her up in reference to what I wrote? Why would you compare me to her? Do you think I’m white? That’s awfully presumptuous of you. Oh, I see what’s going on here! You’re mad because you’re one of those naive types that actually thinks BB isn’t scripted and the cast isn’t given “roles” to play. After 21 years of BBUS, I can’t believe there are still people like you who think this is all real.
I have yet to live and see that day when it ever sucks to be white…I would actually take an hour, even a minute…just curious!
DF and Azah just plain suck at comps.
Please tell me what was going on with Azah dawdling? I think Julie was getting annoyed
100%. Azah hasn’t played Big Brother the entire season, so I guess we shouldn’t be surprised that she isn’t playing Big Brother tonight!
How nice to be carried along and not have to play because of your skin color.
It seemed like she thought she was out and wasn’t playing anymore.
Yes Hanna now put X an Ky up lol
Legitimately Mark my words Hannah is going to regret that she did not put up DF AND KY AND not targeting Kyland!! Taking out Alyssa instead of KY is a bad move because Alyssa wanted to take Hannah to the final two.
This will defintely cost Hannah was not a good play to take out Alyssa.
Now who’s at the top of the pecking order for all three of the black men in the cookout ……TIFFANY & HANNAH because AZAH is beatable and wrapped around DF and X’s finger. Just not a good move by Hannah not targeting Ky!
She had no choice. She would be persona non grata with the rest of the cookout had she done that. She would have been the next evicted. Would have been the dumbest move ever at that point. Her best chance now is hoping Kyland and X take each other out. She can easier beat the couch and Azah. She is sitting pretty right now square in the middle of two distinct sides of the CO. I think after X she probably has the best chance to win the game.
Not a chance it was a bad move.
And your thought about Kyland and Xavier take each other out is not happening lol
They both agree and talked about taking each other to the final two with the third possibly being DF because that gives them the best chance! The men are totally sticking together which is why it was stupid not to take them both out tonight!
While Claire and Alyssa were taking each of their HOH is that took them out to the final two.
I’m telling you it was a bad move, no question, not even close.
You don’t get rid of final two deals that’s what Hannah and Tiffany both did tonight and they made a mistake by keeping the men in the cookout safe because who’s at the top of the target list for all the men in the COOKOUT HANNAH & Tiffany! Both of them did not make good moves with HOH’s. It’s not even close!
I’m telling you the dumbest move ever was what they just did with their HOH’s so you better rephrase it about your girl, because she just blew her chances.
It’s right in front of you they are at the top of the target list Hannah and Tiffany that’s why it’s dumb you just kept the men safe all for them to target you next ?!!? That is DUMB!!
So if Alyssa & X go up and Alyssa takes herself off who goes up in her place?
Kyland.
Sorry Simon. Looks like you have to deal with Kyland a bit longer
Alyssa is gone
I like the applebee’s commercial.
What does that have to do with Big Brother?
Alyssa is soo clueless, it’s sad
Ky randomly selected not to compete?
For the SECOND straight time! First it was him and Claire not selected (2 out of 5) and then he gets by-passed for the second time when he had 3 in 4 chances of getting picked! And what is this shit about being selected NOT to compete? Did they change the selection process to save time? If so, that’s messed up.
CBS damn sure knew they wanted Claire gone in the first eviction, and they were protecting X at all costs in both of them, so no way they wanted Claire winning the tiny veto, or Ky winning last nights veto, possibly taking Alyssa down and sending X to jury.
X smoked all of their butts in that puzzle comp – big time! Hell, I don’t think Azah or Big D got even one piece done! lol
DF has been whining and moaning for weeks about lack of accommodation for him in the comps. So, he gets a mental HOH comp. He proceeds to crash and burn. Please send this man to jury before finale night.
Kyland’s reaction is funny. Did he think that she would put someone else like Tiff up? ?
Apparently he wanted Tiff or Azah to volunteer — the problem with that is Ky, Big D & X could’ve voted out Tiff & based on how Big D reacted when voting as well as X after the fact they would have!
This season is Expect the Expected. LAME!!!
Your tears are delicious 🙂
Better than Scott Tenorman’s!
I thought last season was the most boring & predictable. I’ve actually enjoyed this season. Love the diversity & really the only mean person is Big D.
THEY DID IT!!!!
Now they can truly turn on each other
Oh & they definitely will. All for “the cause”. I’ve been trying for weeks now to figure out how person’s skin color makes a dang bit of difference. Guess I’m just that dumb, because I do not/cannot figure out how winning rinky dink Big Brother is gonna chance the world, or whatever. I’ve said it before: I watch for game play, slick moves, strategy. Never crossed my little pea-brain that color was a factor. And it won’t in the future. So….big whoop. In the words of the immortal Rodney King (y’all are too young to remember him, I’m sure): Can’t we all just get along??
“I’ve been trying for weeks now to figure out how person’s skin color makes a dang bit of difference.” Agree. Just saying something though… I have a lot of Black friends and even among Blacks they distinguish among themselves whose Black skin is lighter and whose Black skin is darker, not sure but maybe it is just the culture. I personally don’t look at people by the color of their skin. I admire the statue of Lady Justice where she is blind-folded, which signifies that everyone is treated equal.
They all got along great everyone outside of the Cookout. I think this was the kindest & most considerate group in years actually. They made an alliance day 1 and stuck with their alliance commitment all the way to 6. Now it’s each person for themselves. They played the game. Who cares if they are black white or purple? They made a deal with each other and stuck to it plus nobody was onto them until this week! That’s crazy good Big Brother gameplay.
Well of course. They have to at this point.
Yeah, a poc finally won BB, season’s over, what’s it matter?
Not so fun when there’s no non-Black person to root for?
They BIG MAD! ???
Ya those white house guest were probably taught at a liberal university that black people cant be racist. Lol they learned the real truth the hard way! 🙂
aww baby boy you still crying? You’re spoiling us tonight with those delicious baby tears, thank you.
Huh?
POC’s (Person of Color) have previously won BB; Winners Josh Martinez is POC, Jun Song is POC, Kasey Clark is POC. Tamar Braxton, POC/Black won Celebrity Big Brother, with Ricky Williams/Black as runner-up.
So this isn’t historical at all, well that’s a bummer, who knew?
Everyone that is a BB fan knew, duh.
What is historical is to have two POC sitting in the final on finale night. Also starting an alliance on day 1 with this exact goal (that they would be the final 6) and being able to accomplish that without the rest of the house figuring it out until this week…..
More delicious tears, keep em coming 🙂
That you don’t matter
If it bothers you so much to see a black people competing for the win….don’t watch. What’s it matter?
For those complaining about members of the CO being the ones remaining, let me remind you that compared to the members of the alliance that the BB winner Adam was a part of, the members of the CO are much more likable
Yeah, I think X and DF should be submitted for humanitarian of the year awards for the way they treat and talk about women, don’t you agree?
I need a refresher. Is the HoH comp, after the double evictions, held sometime tomorrow?
Usually tonight.
Boring ass season, first one I will not finish watching
That’s your prerogative. Loved every bit of it especially after 22 BS seasons. X is a beast!!!
Don’t let the door hit ya on your way out
aww so no more delicious tears from you? Say it aint so… 😉
Bro, go a different route next time. The delicious tears thing is getting old.
Yumyumyummyyum, still loving them tears, bro, sorrynotsorry 🙂 You mean as old as the “I’ll stop watching, this is lame, this is racist, POCs have won, etc. etc.” routine? I guess I’ll have to keep it up for many more days to come to get to that level of stupid repetition. But hey, no hard feelings, everyone has their own way of having fun with the haters on this site, I just can’t help myself, having to scroll through the same comments for days, it just itches in my fingers and I tipe it off, just having some fun.
I never said any of those things. I can’t say the same for other, but you ain’t getting any salty tears from me. Lol
You already delivered tho 🙂 refill welcome anytime. my glass is half full or wait half empty? doesn’t matter. Lol
Wait, so this means no more mouth-watering tears on this page from you? Why??! We could all use another refill of that yummy salty water.
I wasn’t crying. Just pointing out that is was getting old. Plus I find it slightly alarming that you find tears “mouth watering” Creepy…
Chemically/Biologically literally mouth watering because of the salt, but guess that’s too scientific or too much of a niche joke. Didn’t come across I guess or wasn’t as funny to others as it was to me. So thanks for the feedback, I’ll keep it in mind. And also was just changing up the adjectives (synonyms) you know with all the repeating and what not, switching it up a bit so it won’t get too old. But anyway sorry if you got caught in the tangle of my comments, I think I commented not on your post but someone elses (DD) but sometimes it’s hard to see on here with all the subcomments.Have a good one.
The umami of his tears…
Lol. Cheers, good one. Sophisticated.
Why is Azah there? Other than to complete her “mission,” she is absolutely useless as a player and clearly had no interest in competing in either competition tonight. What a complete waste of a contestant. At this point she is not even playing to win. Her indifference to the actual game is insulting to long time fans.
She knows she doesn’t have to actually win anything. Let’s see if that changes now then her skin color isn’t immunity anymore. Somehow I doubt it though.
Claire for AFP. One classy player and she helped the BB tradition by accepting the selfishness of Tiffany.
Claire will have my vote
Claire was classy, but My vote goes to Derrick X, and I suspect he will win it too.
Bitter, angry jury—– no, no this is going to be a hostile jury.
To a hostile jury, DF or Azah are beginning to look good for the $750,000 win right now…they each have the appearance of having the “cleanest” hands in the Cookout plan.
It’s gonna be funny when the first member of the cookout gets evicted. The first thing they are going to do is dish everything.
Claire was coached but you could tell she was really psssst. Deceite & betrayal are part of this game but what the CO have done really shows their true character.
Will Hannah get an HOH basket at least?
She gets pictures but I don’t know that she gets a basket. If she does, it will be a mini one
The winner of the double always gets their basket and letter. Usually about twenty minutes before the new HOH gets their room…. if 20, 21 and 22 examples are followed. There was one bizarre incident somewhere between 18 and 20 where the double hoh didn’t get their basket until the day after the room reveal. But that doesn’t happen that often.
The double hoh usually gets called to the storage room to receive the basket.
I hope Xavier wins the next HOH… I really want DF to win the next HOH, but it likely will not happen.
DF won’t win squat even if he was the only player
I know, right? I mean, why couldn’t he have trained to prepare for the show?
Xavier thinks he’s the leader and is planning on winning for sure! If they were smart they would all work to get him out first. If not, than get rid of the rude lazy mean spirited Big D. He’s done not much else except eat sleep & run his mouth
This is such an iconic and historic moment in television we’re witnessing. And I am just so happy for The Cookout members to make history tonight. This is hands down the best alliance in Big Brother history, their strategy and performance is next level. And on top, they were interesting characters with something to say, fun and entertaining. After 22 years, we will see the first black winner of Big Brother. The fact they felt they had to stick together in order for just one of them to even make it to the very end tells me all I need to know about the past 22 years and a game that was always rigged and manipulated against POC and especially against black people. Of course they also knew they could trust each other because of their shared experiences of being black in a country of white supremacy. Just like all the white dudes in past seasons, who knew exactly that the unspoken male white bro code meant they would take each other to the end, whilst all having their showmances on the side to be discarded whenever they felt like it. The white fragility and especially the male fragility in response to this iconic season, to this iconic alliance, which can also be witnessed in the comments on this page, are delicious tears I choose to enjoy for tonight.
I know it will be so cool if a member of the cookOut gets America’s pic. It would be like so epic, a clean sweep. It almost would make up for BB’s oppression all these years. Truly truly epic. They should be proud. Go Tiff Tiff Represent!
Thank you, you made my day with this comment, I knew you couldn’t resist, lapping up them tears of yours. Keep em coming.
I keep asking…and keep admitting I’m a moron for not knowing: does anyone really care color of winner? Maybe some people who rely on race card or have auto-chips on their shoulders. Maybe I’m a Pollyanna but I just can’t believe there are that many who split themselves into “I hate whites because they’re white” &”I hate poc’s because they’re poc’s.” Again, call me stupid and naive. But I’ve never lived my life with a perpetual & consistent chip on my shoulder. And for that I’m grateful. I cannot possibly be alone when I want best game player to win & could care less re: color.
Good great You don’t notice, but clearly POC have noticed over the years. Maybe it matters to Them. Maybe they all came in with the same idea. This year it’s gonna be different. If color doesn’t matter to you. Why do you care so much that you have to keep commenting about how you don’t even notice?
It will be fun now to watch them tear each other apart. The CO no longer matters. Now it’s time to look out for oneself. I hope people finally see through X. Loved the crocodile tears tonight after gaslighting Alyssa.
Garrett. I agree that an argument can be made for 3 of the 6 to win the game based on game play, not the color of their skin. However, please stop it with the best alliance ever bit. They basically copied the strategy of the Brigade from season 12, and the Brigade did it with 4 members not 6. White fragility has nothing to do with it. I am happy a POC will win. I truly am. But I don’t know if I would go as far as calling it iconic. Like a black person winning Big Brother is going to solve racism or somehow bring about would peace. It’s not supposed to be black vs white. The fact the no black people were evicted seems to suggest one of two things. 1. The other house guests were the dumbest people ever born to not have realized what was going on or 2. They legit didn’t see the cook out members as “black people” but just as other people trying to play a game and win 750K. Isn’t that what it is really about at the end of the day? Equality? Not Black,White, Asian, Mexican or whatever but just people.
It’s just a game show. The sheer fact that Big Brother would only cast one or two poc per season is the reason why there has never been a black winner. Now CBS has committed to a 50% ratio of minorities on all of their reality shows, as they should. I think it’s more interesting when there are lots of people from different backgrounds. I imagine now that the African American community will be fairly represented you will see more and more black people winning these shows.
They played a good season for sure, and they deserve to be congratulated. But there’s no way they are the best alliance ever. Top 3 maybe.
Wrong. See Nicole’s post above .
We are specifically talking about African Americans. Josh is Hispanic, Jun is Asian and Kaysee was Asain and Filipino. Celebrity Big Brother doesn’t count IMO
Xavier was bawling his eyes out when watching Alyssa’s picture go to black & white….. then the awkward hug from Azah…….wonder if she’s hoping X will gravitate towards her now?
probably..
Nope, maybe Hannah
delicious tears, I’m sure there’ll be more in that lacrimal duct of yours 😉
Thank God, the predictability is finally over. Maybe we can have an interesting week or two of Big Brother. Now that the cookout has accomplished their “mission”, here are a few observations.
On the other hand, perhaps it’s progress. Maybe, just maybe the other house guests
were able to look past the color of someones skin and all play as equals, like it never
occurred to them to take race into account when looking at the landscape of the house
guests left in the house.
2 .Secondly, why did the cookout continue it’s theatrics all the way until the end? I mean seriously, just tell her if you don’t win the veto your going home and here is why. Like X freaking out about not exposing the cookout, when there was nothing anyone could do to stop them.
3.Tiffany, stop it. Your master plan was done in season 12 by the Brigade, and they did it with 4 people not 6. I don’t wanna here any of this talk about being the best alliance ever, I already heard her spout it off at the end of tonight’s episode. You played against a bunch of “mental midgets” and you got breaks at every turn because of the twists, and the team safety aspect.
All that being said, I am glad that a poc will finally win big brother, and actually I think a good argument could be made for 3 of the 6 to actually win it. X, Chadda and to a lesser extent Tiffany have all played a great game, and although I like Azah she hasn’t done a single thing for that alliance except for a vote in the bank. But hey, at least she can say “I vote to evict” Lol Derrick F is a nice guy, but jeez. Any other season black or white a guy like that is gone in the first few weeks. I did have my reservations about how all this went down. Ask yourself this. If all the white people on the show got together, created an alliance and the whole plan was to one by one evict the black people, Big Brother would literally cease to exist. Totally would have been shut down, just another victim of today’s cancel culture. That’s what slightly irritates me about how this season went down. A total double standard if there ever was one.
Alas I digress. Congrats to the cookout! Chadda for the win! Maybe now we can actually get some drama!
Let the trifling begin.
I think players were carefully selected. Claire, Sb, Christian, brittni, DX(nice/woke), Alyssa and Whitney (self absorbed and vapid)
POC’s have already won Big Brother.
I think they are talking about African Americans specifically. I don’t believe an African American has ever won regular Big Brother.
Not a African American one.
yes give us more of your tears please, they taste oh so yummy 🙂
I have never wanted X to lose a comp more than now.
We need him to lose BACK TO BACK comps & for Azah/Big D to keep losing!
ALL OF THIS!
I haven’t posted at all this season but I must say something tonight. It’s funny and rather hypocritical of some people complaining how “boring” this season is. Yeah I get it. Because they are not sleeping with each other, no showmances, no racist rants and all people of color left, that makes the season boring? Well here I am as the fool thinking that we had evolved! Shame on me!
It’s fun when minorities are gunning for each other, talking trash and being evicted early right? But it’s boring when they compose themselves, play a good game and actually made one of the most loyal alliances in BB. GET A GRIP PEOPLE AND GET OVER IT!!!
What they did was momentous but not entertaining or interesting. Yes, very boring because it was too predictable.
Last year was much more boring & predictable. We all knew who was gonna win weeks before the finale.
Correct, last year’s preseason drama was the highlight of last season.
Unfortunately though, this season is going to follow the last 2 seasons of knowing who’s going to win, weeks before the finale.
Please take this in the spirit it is intended, which is a little bit of humor presented as sarcasm mixed with some perspective.
So, What is it you think Tiff and Ky have been doing under the covers this week? Practicing a secret handshake?
No racist rants, I’ll give you that, but holy crap is there an awful lot of bias and prejudice flying around. Both on the feeds and on social media. From every angle. The cookout members have exhibited bias and prejudice. This is fact.
Yes, there have been SOME cases where POC were evicted early in the game in bbus. SOME of them for their gameplay, and SOME of them because of the horrible casting process that has been used in the past. The two aren’t the same. Season 21 was a flaming bag of excrement. That’s a given.
People of color included Alyssa and Dx. Or have latin and asian been dropped from the term POC?
I’m of the belief that 16 people are playing big brother this season and an alliance formed in week one dominated the other houseguests. I would REALLY love for the day when it was about human race, not ethnicity, but we aren’t there yet. I’d love it if we acknowledged everything we share, and celebrate, not judge our differences as something that makes us stronger, not something to divide.
Sadly, I’m not there yet. You aren’t there yet…none of us are there yet. And this season does nothing to rectify that or reflect that desire.
Well said.
Yup,BB23 didn’t end racism.Sarcasm intended.
It has nothing to do with the fact that POC are only left. It has everything to do with predictability. When you already know what is going to happen from week to week it makes the show less fun, or even pointless to watch. People have been complaining about predictability for years and how boring the seasons have been. Most people called a Cody win after week three last year Jesus.
I will give it to them on the Loyalty aspect though. That’s for sure. It’s rare to see such loyalty. Also at least 3 of them have a good argument for winning the game as well. Half of them played really well, the other half got dragged through the season.
Yep wholeheartedly agree. They are a great alliance, it cannot be denied or explained away.
I want the Producers to take part of what Hannah & Azah said about jury members and then cut to the jury house to show us what is going on there. This is where I wish there was a Jury House Cam
Yes please, jury segment! Would love an update on who they think played the best game so far.
Wasn’t it hilarious that Alyssa left the house STILL clueless? Like she still thinks X EVER had a chance to go home -LOL Zingbot for MVP! He got that one right. Lol
Congrats to the Cookout — the first and only alliance to get all their members through to be the last ones standing. A major accomplishment given many of them don’t even like each other. And NOW we get to see them go after each other.
Couple of takeaways from the Double…
We didn’t get to see what the hamsters did inside the house after Claire left b/c they immediately went to the comp. But noticeably Tiff was NOT sitting beside Claire like the hamsters typically do with their BFF (Ally was sitting beside X, holding his hand). Last night Claire said she would likely ONLY hug Tiff & Hannah but tonight she elected to NOT hug anyone (again — likely discussed prior). I wonder if they did stage the fight before she left. That answer will likely come on the next show.
So Cry baby Xavier & Bitter D get their wish with Claire leaving appearing to be angry (she’s not) at Tiff & odds are I’d STILL bet it won’t be enough for them. (see below — it’ not)
With the Ally eviction at least two hamsters did a TERRIBLE job of hiding their disappointment. Bitter D actually voted correctly as he “sadly voted Ally out” & Xavier was driven to tears. For someone who doesn’t like to share any personal stories or show emotions this was quite a week for him. I’d feel more empathy for him if he hadn’t been such a dick the entire week. All that complaining & Tiff bashing only for his plus one to leave 30 minutes after Claire. Was it worth it X?
After Ally’s exit they showed the hamsters all consoling the crying X. What I noticed was Hannah & Tiff hugs were quick but with Big D & Ky he held long extended embraces with them. In the background we saw Tiff & Hannah both looking at that dynamic. The overwhelming takeaway was the men (particularly X & Big D) were NOT satisfied with the result of the DE. There’s no way Tiff & Hannah missed that fact. And if Big D had won the HOH I’m not sure we wouldn’t have seen X remove Ally from the block & Tiff evicted!
When Hannah put up Ky as the replacement I was like WHY did she do that? My guess is she wanted to make it look to Ally like she was putting up a bigger target and MORE LIKELY she was trying to show X that she’s not tight with Ky. Apparently Ky is mad she did it.
Big D is already on a rampage saying Tiff has to go (SHOCKER) & asking X to throw the HOH to him if he can (I mean STFU & go to jury already).
The issue with Ky is he doesn’t even realize that X wants him out & has no intentions on taking him to F2 let alone F5. I wonder if Hannah will tell him that BOTH X & Ally asked for him to put on the block (if she did WILL THAT FINALLY sink into Ky that X has to go?)
Tiff & Ky are hugging but what we don’t know is whether Ky is still on the Cry Baby X Bus or has come to his senses. His ego is so big I doubt we can count on him using that logic – instead he’ll want to see how he measures up against him. Cry Baby X is saying if he wins he’ll put up Tiff & Ky & let the house decide. If he does that & noms stay the same Ky would probably leave b/c Hannah & Azah would keep Tiff! Let’s hope Big D tells Azah or X tells her of his plan & that she TELLS TIFF. If Claire did stage a fight before leaving after watching what went down tonight Azah may be in her feels about how the men treated Tiff even though she stuck by the CO. Will she ask WHY is X getting consoled & Tiff getting treated like dirt? I’m hoping it gets back to Tiff that X plans to nominate her & Ky so he guns for HOH.
If Tiff could ever trust Ky — then their best option would be for Ky to win nominate Big D & Azah & try to backdoor X (and if not take out Big D). The problem is he seems so intent on taking X deep in the game & doesn’t recognize the danger he’s in. Also we’ll have to see how Claire’s speech affected Ky b/c it might bother him more than it did X. Tiff has been telling Ky how X is throwing EVERYTHING & Ky got a front row seat to how powerful X is when he toasted everyone in the POV -Tiff was the only one close to him & she was only halfway through it.
As a Tiff fan — I’m hoping she can get through these next few evictions & if she does end up on the block it’s NOT beside Hannah so she can win BB Comics & remove Tiff from the block. IF that scenario plays out my hope will be that X is the HOH & that he has to put up Azah beside Ky & then FINALLY Ky realizes how much he needs Tiff/Hannah — The question is would the ladies keep Azah or Ky? I think the latter & then all three would be gunning to beat him in DE back to back comps to take his ass out of the house. Yeah -I know, it’s clear I’m keen to witness Cry Baby X exit the house! And the only thing better would be if Tiff is the one to take him out!
I think X was crying because they accomplished their goal, which was quite a feat to be sure. Not because Ally was evicted.
No. It was about Alyssa. It wasn’t about the accomplishment of 6 to 6. This is Xavier we’re talking about. If the cookout mission was so important to X, why did he get mad in week 5 when his comp beast was being evicted? Why did he attempt to flip the vote with Tiff? Each of Tiff and X thought they could use Christian as an ace up their sleeve to take the shot the mission wouldn’t allow them to take (break up the cookout before getting to 6). Last week says everything about his devotion to the mission. It isn’t about the mission to him, because he was emphatically attempting to cut Tiff out in the double, sliding in Alyssa with her newly acknowledged ancestry.
I don’t at all fault a player playing the game to better themselves and to win for themselves. I’d be a hypocrite if I faulted that.
However, let’s not go giving false laurels and accolades of loyalty and fealty to someone that has mentioned on feeds breaking up the band so many times, with the first incident being in week three. That may fly with what i’ve been told the episodes are showing, but it’s Grod level misdirection and outright falsehood.
I really think X will win the next HOH not sure who he would actually put up
I think that we should suggest a real showdown for BB24 (next season if there is one). Production can send into the house an equal number of men and women…in an equal number of POC (or blacks, if that is their definition) and an equal number of whites. This season seems to be going according to script, so why not?
Now, with almost all blacks in the house, let the fun begin! Who will be dubbed the first “angry black woman”? How are the men going to handle it when they get attacked?
We saw that right now! 8 whites against 8 blacks/poc. The black n white of it is, 4 white men v 3 black men. 4 black women v 4 white women.
Sooooooooooooo lots of drama already. Ky is pissed he was put up as replacement. It sounds like Ky told Big D he couldn’t give a sympathy vote to Ally so Hannah would break the tie. And now says he wants Ky out after Tiff.
X tells Big D he’ll put up Tiff/Ky right from the start which is ODD b/c if he does that & noms stay the same Tiff would stay. Is this real? He tells Ky something totally different. Messy game play X — you’ve built your game on loyalty & honesty & this past week you’ve been very bad about telling SPECIFIC lies to different people that are easily checked. Perhaps that’s why X never would say much to people b/c his emotions don’t allow him to manage his words.
Ky is still all in on X (UNLESS he’s lying to X). Even stranger Ky tells X “Tiff is aware she needs one of them, which is why she prefers working with X because they don’t need each other.” That’s an odd thing to say to X b/c that should make him want to keep Tiff over Ky. Although Cry Baby X and Ego Centric Ky are both poor BB players – X is more emotional than those he criticizes & Ky is so stubborn his ego rules his terrible decision making.
Poor Tiff gets blamed for everything — she DID NOT want Ky put OTB but somehow she’s the one he’s blaming for it. SMDH.
Ky tells X he’ll put up Tiff/Hannah & if he does that man it will be a brutal few days in the house. PLEASE let this work out & for TPTB to ensure Tiff wins POV if in danger (read: I NEVER pull for production interference but I’d sure would like for them to help Tiff after what she did this week for the little boys of the Cookout).
So X is also intent on winning this HOH b/c he doesn’t want to win F5 HOH (b/c he doesn’t know it’s a DE & he’d be super vulnerable).
Since my manifest worked on Hannah winning DE HOH – I’ll manifest Tiff & Hannah surviving this week & then Tiff winning F5 HOH & Hannah winning POV so they can take out X in the double! Let’s do it!
Let the fireworks begin. I have been rooting for the cookout to remain in tact until the end because I think these last few weeks will be fire!
‘
Correction – meant to say “poor SOCIAL players“. Clearly both men are good players — I meant they don’t manage the social game well particularly when under adversity — we saw it this week with X & we’ve seen it repeatedly with Ky. Tonight Ky got mad at Hannah for putting him OTB, mad at Tiff & Azah for not volunteering to go OTB & mad at Big D for wanting to give a sympathy vote. Suffice to say, lots of apologizing for Ky to get to post DE show. Oh, and he was also mad at Tiff that he went OTB when she said to Hannah – no don’t put up Ky. Perhaps he’ll use this as his excuse to nominate them if he wins HOH.
Seriously, Ky does dumb things like that, like telling Claire he couldn’t vote to keep her. He actually had the audacity to say to Claire — well yeah I thought we were working together but you put me up on the block last week. I mean buddy she’d just spent two weeks in a row on the block b/c YOU nominated her & then your BFF who essentially told Claire (and DX) she’d put up Big D & Ally with X as the back door option. But after five hours of lock down Kyversation torture put up Claire.
The hypocrisy is ridiculous — like saying he wants to go to F2 with someone he respects — that plays a good game. But you’re okay taking out Tiff (and Hannah) ahead of Big D & Azah.
Yeah I can’t with these CO males — they’re now the underdogs but I’m pulling for the CO females.
I would love to see both Tiffany and Hannah go in the next DE! They’re both mean and catty. I’m pretty sure if it was Claire going second in the double, not knowing anything, Tiff would be the big “crybaby”. But if Tiff does it you think she a saintly kind angel and no matter what X does he will always be the mean old devil. Your bias is showing big time.
So with the dust settling after weeks observing the white fragility of those feeling all victimized bc African Americans were finally given a proper opportunity to play, I have come to realize one really big fat juicy fact that the outraged are missing but can’t deny. X is a really good player, and one could say that he knew how to move his game forward while also being committed to the CO. He always had some sense of his individual game all the way through but was very careful not to let that be apparent.
X is somewhat like Derrick but without the blind sheep support. Derrick had no mist and was ready to cry on the one occasion he was on the block. X is smooth, has grit and looks laser-focused when nominated. Derrick was far less worthy of winning than X is now, but among those upset about the CO, how many were blaming that on unfair advantage? How much more privileged can you get than a white cop?
If you can’t reconcile that discrepancy, then the objections to the CO are pure racism.
I 100% agree on the fact that he is somewhat like Derrick. I thought that way back in the season. He just has that really calm demeanor in every situation, and everyone loves him. I don’t remember Derrick ever touching the block, but I could be mistaken on that. But in all fairness, X knew he was in 0 danger while he was on the block. I do agree he is focused however, and I suspect he will end up winning it. Probably by dragging Derrick F to the end. But Honestly, if he gets to final 2 he will win against anyone and well deserved. He was totally the glue that held the alliance together. I thought for sure Tiffany or Kyland was gonna cause the CO to implode, but he kept them all together. Well deserved..
It’s always fun when people see differences in their favorite hamsters. I believe X is going to go on a comp run and is very capable of doing something unheard of like win 6 comps in a row.
He’s had great fortune with three levels of protection one by happenstance (Kings), one with the CO mission & one that was really about having DX on his side (which Tiff set up).
I’d agree he’s one chill customer particularly in the normal flow of the game. Where my assessment varies is when he is under adversity he’s NOT chill at all. How did his week long rant & Tiff bashing serve any purpose this past week? Ally left thirty minutes after Claire so I need someone to explain to me why his antics were necessary b/c until that point in the game he was sitting pretty. The only other time we witnessed it was when Christian went OTB & he had no control.
Agreed! Hope he wins
X is good but that’s about it.
Many sheep this season. X’s big move this season is what? Winning veto so DX can be backdoored? Or maybe throwing comps? Derrick controlled the hamsters. Saw and was able to make or change the chess moves to benefit him. Derrick was never nominated. Sure Cody took him in the end but no crying like your boy X did all this week about being nominated 3 weeks in a row knowing damn well he wasn’t going anywhere in any of those weeks.
X may be 1 of 3 still in the house deserving of the win, but when you have 3 deadweight’s being dragged along the way, that’s not a very best player ever vibe.
It’s like Affirmative Action live.
Tough for non racist white people to watch white people get voted out because they are white. Good learning lesson as this is what happens to black players on previous seasons. But definitely weird that the masses view this kinda reverse racism as OK this way as “make up” (Aka affirmative action live!). REALLY interesting societal study going on rn. Interesting stuff!
PS – X would have won without the cookout. Such a strong player.
Poll on major BB Twitter site “who do you want to win HOH?” Tiff get 76% of vote! In order the next people were — X (10.3%), Azah (7.1%), Ky (3.1%) and Big D (3%).
There are TONS of people who were not impressed by X this week or Kyland both fans of CO and not.
It’s incredible to me how much I went from liking Xavier to detesting him. He’s told Big D he’ll put up Ky & Tiff & told Ky he’ll put up Tiff & Hannah.
After this past week I think X is someone who plays with far too much emotion under stress & his true game plan was hoping Ally would win DE HOH (or Big D) b/c he wanted to take out Tiff & then drag Ally to F2. I mean why else did we get Cry Baby X for an entire week over a mission he says he was devoted to? Seriously all those angry words and rants over the difference of THIRTY MINUTES? That was the time difference between Claire leaving & Ally leaving so yeah tell me I’m wrong.
My gut tells me X will put up Tiff/Ky b/c he still wants Tiff to go but he’s so arrogant he likely also feels he could beat anyone in comps except for Ky (and anyone but Tiff at the end — which would never happen b/c neither of them would take each other to F2).
With his rants this week I thought maybe he was off Hannah (and still is if you believe what he said to Ky) but they have a tight bond & with Ally gone Hannah is the person he trusts & likes the most. X listens to things Hannah says more than anyone else and I think she probably made some inroads with him when she said taking Big D to F2 is so bad & there will be people who’ll vote for him just out of spite. Doubtful he’d bring the other “Victoria” (Azah) so Hannah makes sense as his true F2 partner — b/c she’ll be viewed as a good player but not necessary a great player. Doubtful he confirms that until/unless Tiff is evicted.
That arrogance of his could bite him in the ass b/c what if he does win HOH & puts up Ky/Tiff & then Hannah wins POV & takes down Tiff?
Finally we’re in the thick of the game & I’m so anxious b/c I really do want Tiff/Hannah to be the ones who prevail this season!
Omg! X lied right to Ky’s face??!! Oh the nerve of him! I can’t believe he didn’t tell him he was going to put him up. Come on for crying out loud! Of course he isn’t gonna tell him he’d put him up. And I think it’s safe to say that at the beginning of this week he didn’t know Alyssa was going to leave 30 min after Claire so that point is irrelevant. But I am glad that Tiffany has never lied to anyone’s face about who she was nominating…thank goodness
Since the cookout made history,really history?,and voted the others person,what are they really saying hmmmm.Maybe big bro will let them all win.
Worst season ever.
