Big Brother 23 — About Tonight

(SPOILERS, OBVIOUSLY)

So, there really weren’t any big surprises tonight. In fact, this was one of the rare live episodes where Julie didn’t even try to convince us to expect the unexpected. Everyone knew that Sarah Beth was going to be evicted and that’s what happened, by a vote of 5-1. Tiffany did vote to keep Sarah Beth after Sarah Beth spent a long time talking to her earlier today but it doesn’t appear that Tiffany tried to get anyone else to join her in voting to keep SB.

The HoH comp was the endurance comp where the Houseguests had to hang on to a rope and the last one still suspended above the backyard won the right to be head of household. Though Claire competed, she was not eligible to win because she was this week’s HoH. Instead, she just held on long enough to prevent herself from being a Have-Not and then she threw the comp by falling off.

Alyssa desperately needed to win the comp but she was the second person to fall off. Alyssa lasted for maybe ten minutes, which is weird because this is a comp that she actually should have had a good chance of winning. Instead, Alyssa barely lasted longer than Big D.

The HoH comp lasted for about 30 minutes and it was eventually won by Tiffany. That means that Tiffany has now won two back-to-back HoH comps. And while Tiffany and all the other members of the Cookout are annoyed with Kyland right now, it appears that they’re not deviating from their plan. As of right now, it appears that Alyssa will be the target. She’ll probably go up with Xavier, so that Tiffany can claim that she’s just trying to break up a duo. If the veto is used, Clarie will be the replacement nominee. If Claire wins the veto and takes someone down, only then will Kyland presumably go up.

Nominations are tomorrow!
