Excellent! But unsurprising. I had little doubt that would be Makensy's inclination. I'm more concerned about Cam though his one-on-one with Leah gives me a sliver of hope that he recognizes the two big players that need to go sooner rather than later.

They would be stupid to NOT vote for her to go home - and that goes for Chelsie too. And, while I know that a lot of people want to Leah to go after Chelsie this week, I don't think she's making a bad move if she wants T'Kor out this week. Chelsie has certainly been masterful in her mist but T'Kor's pretty might right up there with her in the misting/control department. I don't know that Cam would actively make a move against Chelsie should he have an HOH fall into his lap, I do think if another HOH made her their target, he'd take the opportunity presented to get her out. Makensy I'm less certain about with regard to Chelsie, but I don't believe Cam is as misted as he's letting Chelsie believe.

Angela confirms to Leah that Kimo promised them both safety next week, which he also promised Leah. Ang's intention is to use her veto on Kimo, and she wants Leah's permission to let him know before they go to bed tonight that he is safe. They aren't sure who Kimo would put up if he won HOH and Angela points out that she thinks Chelsie would be one of his nominees since she never sees them talk. Angela points out that T'Kor never went to bed last night and spent the entire time counseling Kimo & Rubina on how to approach Ang/Leah. For some idiotic reason, Leah seems to be leaning toward T'Kor & Rubina noms. Argh!!!! Angela points out that Chelsie loves T'Kor and would vote to keep her. How do they not figure out the correct scenario is to cancel out Chelsie's vote in favor of keeping T'Kor and put BOTH of them on the block. They are focused on breaking up the T'Kor Trio, which is fair, but they need to go for the head of that Trio and the only way to do that is to ensure Angela breaks a tie - pit the heads against each other, let their minions vote for each of them, and then Angela can push whomever they decide needs to go now out.

Angela/Rubina and Cam/Leah are done and now we have Angela & Leah up on the balcony confabbing... Stay tuned - hopefully Button Boy is asleep on the job right now.

Hmmmm... Cam seems to be confirming to Leah that he doesn't quite trust Chelsie fully either - that he's been on the receiving end of her flipping and shifting to save herself while sending home his allies.

Angela/Mak are done and now we have Angela/Rubina chatting behind the carnival booth. Cam's pointing out that "they're always going to have two votes" - which is true but he cannot be naive enough to not realize it's true of his own trio as well. And now Button Boy, once again, takes us away from that conversation to give us 4 screens of Angela/Rubina.

Cam & Leah are chatting on the balcony; Mak & Angela are chatting behind the "Knock-Em-Down" carnival game booth. Cam is, of course, telling Leah that she can trust Chelsie & Mak. And, of course, that they need to continue to talk. And he's promising he won't put her up next week as a thank you for not putting him up this week. Angela tells Mak that the people she trusts most are Leah & Mak. ETA - and, of course, Button Boy takes us away from the Cam/Leah conversation.

One can only hope that Leah realizes she needs to put up the heads of both trios if she wants someone to go home.

I think Kimo has always been the most open to Angela of that Trio, to be honest. I hope he's willing to step out a little bit here and help Leah in making a bold move. There is always a risk that Chelsie will be able to mist Kimo and Rubina into voting for her over T'Kor, lol. The thing is, T'Kor voting to keep Chelsie over one of her own Trio would absolutely expose both she and Chelsie to the rest of the house and SHOULD make every single person left aware that they've got a side deal to protect each other. And it should cause them to gun for both of them to go out next. I do think the HGs would recognize this, but would they be able to do anything about it? Who knows? It would be a big move and resume builder for anyone to make that move to knock out first Chelsie then T'Kor.

Leah & Cam chatting about the Jankie Veto - apparently there's a second part/game that comes into play if the Veto is used/activated. They're speculating but they don't believe that it's as straightforward as Leah naming the replacement noms.

T'Kor and Rubina are just damn dumb. They believe that Chelsie stays if she is put up next to T'Kor on the block. Do they not realize that if that's the decision then the intent is to BD Chelsie?

Crazy idea - what if, since this is the Jankie Veto week, the Vetoes won MUST be used? Like, the HGs have no choice but to use them and two new HGs have to be nominated? ETA - peach was posting at the same time I was... Interesting that apparently Leah can only use her Veto if Angela uses hers. I hope the rule is if Angela uses it then Leah also must use hers, no option to not use it, lol.

Well, no, it's a reason to consider not taking Kimo out since he's only won, IIRC, one AI Arena. It's not as if Cam is some comp beast here in this group of HGs. These two guys are getting smoked by every single woman left in the house when it comes to comp wins. I do wonder if DR is going to try and question some sense into Leah and challenge her to nom T'Kor and Chelsie. It would come down to Angela, who goes in that scenario, presuming that Kimo/Rubino vote for Chelsie to go and Cam/Makensy vote for T'Kor to go.

Prayer circle for Rubina to win veto. Force Leah into putting T'Kor up. And then, pray these HGs grow some brains and complete the BD golden parachute opportunity presented to them.

Eh... If we wind up with Kimo & Rubina noms, it just means Kimo is going to get evicted. What's amazing to me is that Cam isn't recognizing that he and Kimo are endangered species in the house as the two remaining men. There may not be a formal women's alliance but how do you look around and see that 75% of the remaining HGs are women and not feel like, maybe, just maybe, you're going to be expendable first, ahead of all the other women in the house? Especially since these women have not fallen into the usual, super-catty trap that most BB female HGs fall into of taking each other out because of showmances or petty, girl-on-girl crime. This is, for BB, an unusual group of emotionally mature women with regard to their relationships with other women.

Chelsie is working hard to mist Leah. She's also, interestingly, tossing Cam under the bus here.

Leah is chatting with Makensy - she says she doesn't want to put T'Kor up initially because that would make Leah a guaranteed target by T'Kor. Both Cam & Makensy are agreeing/telling Leah that T'Kor would stay, which... Their math ain't mathin' unless they're saying they'd vote for T'Kor to stay. I give up with these idiots - the votes are definitely there to get T'Kor out if Cam, Makensy and Angela all vote against her. And I doubt Rubina would vote for T'Kor over Kimo. I could be wrong but why would she? Make it make sense.

I really want to understand why the pool is filled with rubber duckies.

Angela and Cam are both sitting up and appear to be resigned to waking up for the day, lol. ETA - Leah seems to have been up for awhile and is not on any camera but her cot is vacant.

LOL, yeah, I'd like to think they'd realize that Chelsie is in the best position and needs to go. Then again, T'Kor's position is not all that bad either. Both of them have two utterly loyal minions in Cam/Makensy and Kimo/Rubina. I think either of those duos would be open & willing to work with Leah/Angela should their leader go, so I'm really good either way. Oh, yes, it's already started! Week 3 of the Junior Grand Prix from Bangkok (2nd day of that comp) and then Lombardia Trophy started this morning - and I'm very happy I paid for that stream because I'm an Ilia Malinin uber (have been since 2019!) and fast-becoming a Sarah Everhardt uber, plus I adore Kaori Sakamoto, lol. There have been other competitions already, starting in mid-July, but the JGP really starts off the season with 13 weeks straight of at least 1 live-streamed competition every week.

That's an interesting thought. I think Chelsie's social game is too good to get evicted over T'Kor, but it would be an interesting fight. Leah & Angela have to realize they're currently up against two different trios. Same! Mind, I was watching figure skating for the last 9-ish hours, so the feeds coming back right as the last competition ended works for me on a personal level but I wouldn't have minded being able to check in on what was happening from time to time overnight. And now, to just have different shots of them slumbering? BB needs to wake their jankie a$$es up!

Are they ALL outside or does Leah get use of the HOH room? Or does she have a separate HOH "corner" of the backyard?

Has to have been Slip 'n Slide and Angela wound up being seriously injured and taken to the hospital for emergency surgery on her broken leg and they're waiting to bring the feeds back until after she's returned to the house. That's my theory. Figure skating is almost done for the day. Never ever would I have expected the feeds to STILL be down at nearly 9am BBT.

Wow. I just checked and the feeds are still on pets. I think Button Boy forgot to turn the feeds back on because they're never down this long unless something massive happened. I'll check back in later after the next figure skating competition today ends. ETA - an hour later and a quick break in skating and still pets...

Dang. I fell asleep 3 hrs ago because there's figure skating starting in less than an hour and I wanted to be fresh for it. I expected the feeds to be back by the time I woke up to watch FS live tonight, lol.
