Big Brother 23 Recap: POV Veto

August 25, 2021 by tamaratattles 23 Comments

Big Brother 23 RecapWe’re having some pretty bad storms in the hood tonight. Frankly, I am shocked I still have power. I’m not great with storms, so, I am trying to focus on this Big Brother 23 recap. Banjo is sticking really close to me and it is kind of past his bedtime. Anyway…

We begin with Alyssa crying after winning the High Roller Game that week that caused to to have to spin a roulette wheel afterward. The person whose face it landed on becomes a replacement nominee.  The ball landed on Xavier, her closest (and really only) ally in the house. He really doesn’t have her back at all so she should not be so freaked out. He’s in a six person alliance that is dominating the season and she is not. In one of Derek X’s diary room sessions that he feels confident that he is not going up the week and is glad he can play for veto. He wants to win. Then, Claire clues him in that if X comes down, he’s going up. He has to get picked for veto.

The good news is that CBS production just played a tape of Sara Beth saying that if Derek doesn’t get picked to play he is definitely going home. That’s a huge spoiler for the casuals. So maybe that means there is hope for Derek after all. There has been a glimmer of hope today that Claire might be voted out. But we shall see. Also, it’s interesting that X was hoping he could make it to final two without touching the block. This explains why he is irritated with Tiffany who has the same goal and has still never been on the block. Derek realizes that he is in trouble after talking to Sarah Beth. The veto players are Sarah Beth, Xavier, Claire, Azah, Derek F and Alyssa. Derek X is DOOMED. Claire also cries in the diary room about the people that were chosen.

Big Brother RecapThe Veto Competition

It’s time for the veto competition. Since I was not online much this week, it was hard to understand the competition from the bits of pieces I have read about. Also, I have serious bad Covid brain and I can’t even remember who won. So it will all be brand new to me. Ah okay, I was wondering why Xavier took so many punishments. The game is an individual one. They go out one at a time and need to build a chain of falling dominos until it is long enough to hit a button. However, they can choose between playing for veto or playing for prizes. It’s one or the other. The person with the fastest time wins the prizes. Damn the chain they have to build is really long and has multiple curves.

Alyssa goes first and is trying for the veto to save X. She does great and gets it on her first try. Derek goes for the money. Azah goes for veto and doesn’t do well. Up next was Sarah. She went for veto and also told America they can wipe their butts with the BB Bucks because she never gets any anyway. Next up was Xavier and now I get that when you go to veto the choice of which path you choose to take is determined by the punishments you select. The worse the punishments, the shorter the course. Xavier took the three worst punishments, 24 hour solitary confinement, BB Bucks bankruptcy and third nominee.

Big Brother 23 RecapClaire Has A Meltdown

AH! Now it makes sense how everyone knows that Derek F is the only one who can play for the Coin of Destiny or whatever it is called. The winner of the reward veto comp got $100 BB Bucks and $7,500. Apparently Derek was the only one who played. The winner was not named but THEY ALL KNOW IT WAS BIG D. He’s literally going to have money left over after High Rollers is over. Several other people are too broke to continue. He is the only one who has enough at the moment to play the last game. Xavier won with a time of 3 minutes and five seconds. Everyone is shocked by his time. But he did that the worst three punishments and got to take the shortest route. Claire cries because she doesn’t want to sit next to Derek X.

Next, the gang got an outdoor activity where they got to make baskets for The Red Cross. They are super excited. After that, some game talk goes on. Tiffany tries to convince Derek X to get Sarah Beth to put up Hannah. That would insure that Claire went home instead of Derek X. Sarah Beth almost goes for it, but in the end, Derek X went up on the block. And despite some last minute scrambling today, sadly, he is probably going home tomorrow night. There was a lot of talk in the house today about how to get Claire out instead of Derek X. On The Cookout the girls want to keep Derek X and the guys want to keep Claire.  Pray for a last minute flip, y’all!

    I love Derek X and will hate to see SB be the one to eliminate him.

        Me two. My love affair with Derek F, Azah and for the most part even Tiffany is over. I think I can root for Tiff eventually but right now I’m irritated with most of the Cookout. Right now, I am TEAM HANNAH who I believe would be the youngest winner ever. She’s playing a good game. I’d be fine with a Hannah X finale two. Or a Hannah Claire final two.

          I am for Hannah. She is smart, way smart. Funny, and probably losing her person tonight. (Derek X)
          She is getting closer to tiffany though.
          Remember tiffany said “she is strategically important” not a comp winner.

    CBS gets me every time! I actually thought Hannah was going to go on the block and Derek X would be safe. Even though I know he needs to go home before two cookout members end up on the block under his HOH. Why does everyone keep calling Hannah chaddah?

    I desperately want SB and Kyland to leave one behind the other. The way Kyland runs his HOH is kind of weird & honestly I just don’t like him.

    I want Tiffany and Xavier to make it to the final two. But, Tiffany is being super hypocritical. She wants Claire & Derek X to stay because they are close to her but wants to send SB home because she is close to Kyland. I know everyone is looking out for their own game but still.

    I want to see an Azah or Derek F HOH. Maybe they might actually get out of bed for once. Ha

    Can anyone who watches the feeds tell who is most likely going home?

      Sadly, Derek X is most likely leaving. That has always been the plan. Tiffany and Hannah have sort of convinced Kyland to flip with them and Azah would be the fourth vote. However, Kyland is a moron and doesn’t want to upset SB. He spent some time trying to make it seem like her idea to flip and vote out Claire but she’s not going for it. So Kyland will likely be the deciding vote.

      The good news is that X went into solitary confinement yesterday and will be getting out just in time to shower and change for the live show. So he can influence anything else this season.

      The Cookout is falling apart. I was their biggest fan all season, but now, Kyland and Tiffany two I really liked are both SO SELF ENTITLED and have a fit when things don’t go their way. Tiffany can at least have intelligent conversation. Kyland does have some sort of brain issue that he hasn’t specifically named that causes him to pause a lot. But he never shuts up, he mansplains to the girls while making absolutely ZERO sense but can have a normal conversation with the guys and usually SB somehow. It seems like a selective issue to me. Azah and Derek F don’t deserve to go to final three and if someone drags one of their lazy do nothing asses to the end that will be a travesty.

      I want whoever stays out of Dx and Claire or Hannah to win.

        I was listening to Ky yesterday. Fact: when talking in the kitchen or not doing one on ones I noticed he speaks just fine.
        Derek Frazier said “I am safe, why wouldn’t I take the money?”
        I am going to look for Durst since today is getting ready for tonight live show, haircuts, etc.
        The basket making explains why the other day feeds were down and the outfits looked like a “thing”. (Knew it was not a comp)

        Please save Derek X!!!!LOL. He’s so great, funny. fun to watch. But I am prepared for bye bye.

          Derek X made a huge tactical error by not using his BB Bucks when he could have. I felt so sorry for him when he was in the Diary Room telling the viewers he was sorry he disappointed them. I wish there would be some miracle and he wouldn’t be the person evicted tonight, or that he gets to battle his way back in. He seems like such a nice guy. I really want Sara Beth evicted next and I’d like Hannah to be the one to do it.

            Agree. They are just having breakfast, tiff, Derek F, Hannah and it is a I comfortable vibe. Tiff looks missed off.
            Maybe they are just tired and it’s eviction day?
            But nothing as of now is happening on feeds.

            I have been racking my brain for a way that Derek X can stay. I just don’t think so.😣

            I’m a thousand percent sure that Derek X will win battle back AND America’s favorite player. It’s going to be okay.

    Every year this happens to me! I get depressed when my favorite is doomed to be chopped. I don’t watch for a few episodes and then end up tuning back in once the carnage is done. It is like my brain says that if I don’t watch it won’t happen. 🙂

    The feeds are down for HOH but just before they went down, Azah and Derek X had a VERY LONG HUG on her bed of course. When the finally stopped hugging she sort of indicated that she was going to go with the house and vote him out. When he left, she was alone in her bed and started weeping and kept saying “I’m going to regret this.” She mumbled something about Ky not understanding that SB needs to go ASAP.

    And LOLA, fear not my friend, there will be a BATTLE BACK and no one from the jury that has been evicted so far can beat Derek X. Then she said someone wants to wear her yellow dress tonight. That means it is not a physical HOH. She is angry because that was her final three dress. She was saving it. Someone came in the room and I switched cameras to see who it was because she walked in asking to try on the dress and got back on live feeds which was back. I think it might have been Claire. But if it is Claire she could walk out with the dress so it must be someone else. EDITED TO ADD: It was Alyssa. The dress didn’t fit. So she borrowed another dress from Azah. Azah is happy it didn’t fit and doesn’t care about the purple dress because she wore it already.

    Tiffany is shaving Ky and has the razor at his neck. Ky is a brave man. LOL. Derek is trying to decide whether to choose Heads or Tails in Coin of Destiney. I am pretty sure he is the only one with enough money to play.

    4:42 EST Xavier is pacing back and forth in isolation muttering to himself. I can’t make out what he is whispering about but he is rehearsing and plotting. Some in chat are saying that he doesn’t want HOH this week.

      I have to say, pet peeve when they act as if they choose if they are going to be HOH.
      Just add “I am going to try to win” LOL
      Or, “I am not going to try and win”

        Ky and X deciding that they are going to switch winning every week.
        Then complain that they do all the work.

        A bit ummm what am I looking for, “feelings of grandeur” ?

        So there is a battle back?

          Of course. And X said in solitary that he doesn’t want HOH this week.

            Gosh, please don’t let Ky win HOH. Ugh!.

            I have heard no battle back, incorrectly I guess.
            They have a lot of game left and it seems like not enough weeks.

            I am going to hope for Azah for HOH. She may be the only one who does the unexpected (aha “expect the unexpected” )LOL

              There will be a double eviction, probably before the battle back. The DE might be next week.
