Tonight was a special surprise 2-hour Double Eviction night in the BB house, as six became four. As the Cookout has begun turning on each other, everyone’s true colors and alliances are starting to show.
The beginning of this pre-taped episode (compared to a live eviction) began with Tiffany campaigning her butt off trying to get enough votes to stay in the game. It’s a shame that the founder of the Cookout is the first one to go, because if it were not for her, not many of the Cookout members would be sitting in that final six, with the players pursuing their own agendas, rather than that of the Cookout’s. Tiffany talked to Azah that she needed to flip Derek around, but since Derek doesn’t like Tiffany at all, it might not happen.
There were two hilarious segments in the first hour, with Kyland and Xavier joking that they wouldn’t bring Derek on a trip to Vegas, but would bring the “intelligent” Brent, and Derek took it incredibly personally, which was so funny to watch. The second segment showed Kyland going on a long, weird tangent to Azah about how he’s thinking about the “philosophy of the game,” which was great because Azah was just smiling and nodding her way through it until Kyland got tired and left the room.
Xavier talked to Kyland about how his brother passed away, and he promised his brother that he would take care of his nephew, which is why he’s playing the game.
After sowing some seeds of doubt, Xavier and Derek compared notes about Tiffany. They know that Hannah is a fierce competitor, so maybe getting her out before she gets them out may not be a bad idea.
Julie talked with the Cookout about their historic run. All the personal stuff aside, history is made, and it’s been great to see. Each member of the Cookout explained the struggles to get this far, because they knew their mission was important, and they risked a lot of game moves to make sure that mission came to fruition.
We got to see the jury continue to grow as Sarah Beth joined Britini and Derek X. in the jury house. She showed them the footage of her eviction week, with Claire taking over with the Coin of Destiny, and sending her out the door. They even showed Kyland and Azah’s goodbye messages to her, and how they talked about the goal that they are secretly a part of. Slowly but surely, they’re starting to put the pieces together that there was a controlling alliance the whole time they’ve been there.
With Claire and Alyssa joining the jury as well, the shock that Tiffany sent Claire out the door sent an earthquake through the entire jury house. However, Claire was never mad about it, saying that she respected Tiffany’s character with the goal to get the Cookout to the end. After Alyssa showed the footage of her eviction, the whole jury knows that the Cookout exists, but they give the utmost respect to them for making it this far.
Back to tonight’s double. Tiffany gave a great speech about the legacy that they are leaving in this game, and complimented everyone in the game. Hannah said basically the same thing, since the deal was practically signed, sealed, and delivered.
In a sad, unanimous vote, Tiffany was the first person sent out the door tonight. With one last Cookout cheer, Tiffany joined Julie outside the house. She talked with Julie about the downfall of her game, when winning that last HOH competition sealing her fate. Julie acknowledged Tiffany’s contribution to the creation of the most successful alliance in BB history, which was GREAT, put the respect on her name. Tiffany said that she knew she had to plan out her game strategically, while also keeping up with the plan of the Cookout.
Julie surprised the final 5 with the news of the Double Eviction, and began the HOH competition. Each player had 12 silver balls at the end of a ramp. They had to take a different colored ball, and roll it down the ramp, and knock over the silver balls. It was played in two rounds. The first two people to get the balls knocked over advanced to the second round, where it was a head to head competition.
Xavier made quick work of the first round, advancing fast, and Azah joined him in the second round. For the second round, the two players had to roll the balls carefully so that they stayed on the grassy patch at the end of the ramp. Whoever had the most balls on the grass won the HOH competition.
They each had 10 balls to roll, and the score was tied after five rounds 1-1, since there was quite a learning curve to the competition. But Azah took a very fast lead and Azah won her first HOH of the season!
Azah decided to nominate Hannah and Xavier for eviction, sticking with a deal to never nominate Kyland and Derek.
For the Power of Veto competition, called What the Bleep, showed the players statements that previous players made with bleeped out words. Julie then asked a true or false question of what the bleeped out phrase might be, with the person who had the most questions correct winning the competition.
After the seven questions, Kyland and Xavier were tied, meaning they had to do a tiebreaker round, where they had to answer a question. They had to write how many seconds the Cluckster competition was from start. Kyland was the closest to the correct number, giving him the Power of Veto for the second Veto.
Kyland decided to use the Veto on Xavier, leaving the only nominee to put up being Derek. This all but sealed Hannah’s fate, as she was sent out on another unanimous vote. A clearly upset Hannah joined Julie outside and talked about her threat level, and how Xavier and Kyland are going to roll their way to the end.
What Now?
With all the entertaining people out of the house, it seems all but probably that Xavier and Kyland will steamroll their way to the end of the game. It’s sad to see, but with a special episode tomorrow (because of the Emmys postponing Sunday’s regular schedule), we will see who takes the power next.
