Power of Veto Competition and Ceremony

Airs September 15th.

[Melina22]

Oh Deref. You're cute, worrying you're too much of a threat and a comp beast because you came second in two comps. 😁

How on earth did Tiffany spend 40 MINUTES doing a comp that Ky did in 11 and Deref did in 14??? Did she take a nap partway through?

You were so much more generous to him about his comp beast delusion than I was going to be.  So, I'll just add this about his delusion that he was some kind of mastermind setting Tiff up to be evicted (especially when we've seen at every vote that he struggles to even say eviction correctly): Shut up, Deref! 

[Maggie Mae]

Deref a comp beast!!!! Only in his mind. But what happened to him wanting to win something every challenge?  I do have to say that he is pretty strong if he could hold himself on the zip line and his time was pretty fast.  How he got that time and narrated every.single.difference in the comics is a mystery.  Oh and lastly, he said he wanted to evict Tiffany twice.  He has yet to evict anyone even once.  He has evoted people but never evicted them.  Yes, yes i know he has dyslexia. I was really hoping Ky would have taken Hannah off the block and put him up but it was not to be.  Ky better watch out in the double.

left out a word and words are important

I didn't realize how much it would gut me when one of the three men would win instead of one of the three women.  To be honest though, I probably just want Tiffany to win and now the whole thing's blown.  

[Melina22]

Right now I'd be okay with either X, Kyland, Tiffany or Hannah winning. I feel like they've all earned a win. I like Azah the best as a person, but even she admits she can't win anything. Deref... no. 

With only six left, it's not surprising they're tending towards men vs women. I don't see any reason a man SHOULDN'T win if he earns it by winning all the comps. That's how the game works. If a woman can get to the end by going on a comp run, great. But if Tiffany leaves, I'm not sure Hannah can do this all on her own. 

I'm extremely happy with this season, but for me the most exciting part is over. Not a complaint, just a fact. 

[Eolivet]

I feel like 11 minutes would've been last place in prior seasons of BB Comics. Were they harder this year, I wonder? More minute details?

[North of Eden]

X is 99.9% unstoppable now.

No matter what woman stays and even if they win HOH. Azah who has been wanting to get down with X will not nominate or vote against him. Meanwhilie Kyland is willfully trying to tank his own game by insisting on going to the end with a man he knows will win (I know even typing it seems unbelievable someone would spend their whole summer to help some one else win and the biggest jackpot ever) Also Big D would never nominate X. It's over...it's done...it's just a corononation at this point. Why players year after year allow one person a CAKE WALK to the end is mystifying.

The Denialator? I don't get it? Damn Alyssa and Chaddah looked smokin' as comics though. Azah's superpower should have been invisibility.

Sorry TIff but there is not enough Mist in the world to change Ky's mind when he's hellbent on his own defeat.

Has there been on genuine surprise/turn of events all season? Any?

Production totally scripted the DR where Big D was ragging on Whitney's outfit. Why else would they bring up that idocy again.

Editors should be docked for the sloppy editing at the end in the Ky/Tiff conversation where her hand kept appearing and disapearing from the side of her head. Who knows how the actualy conversation played out.

So Big D is Cinderella now and is magically going to turn into a comp beast? You can't make this stuff up.

I know I'm in the minority here but I just want Tiffany gone!! I never thought I would say this but I'm up for KY or X win. I know...I know...stupid. oh well..

And on a shallow note..Tiff?? SERIOUSLY??? 40 FU$KING MINUTES?? CRICKEYS.

[Blissfool]

Geez..it's still  Tiffany's son's birthday?!

[toomuchtv]

I missed the first half due to the spacex launch coverage cutting in, but it seems like I didn’t miss too much.

 

 During the competition I wondered if they ever just take pity on them if they’re taking too long and yep, they do, at 40 minutes

[willco]

I was only half paying attention to the show & I'll have to go back and check, but apparently DerF DID in fact say he was worried about becoming a comp beast !! Wow, you know I have a fear that I'll wake up tomorrow and have $100 million in the bank and supermodels serving me breakfast in bed. I think both of those things and Derek's issue have about the same chance of happening, 0.0 %.

 

Man, this game is gonna go right down to the end with no surprises at all, isn't it ? Ky & X in the Final, with X winning. The CO did a good job completing their mission, but man it's just so void of suspense.

Classic.

And yes, I too was like whoaaa DerF nobody is keeping track of your various non-wins no matter how close... "Damn D almost could have won that one, we better target him before he really does win one!" Says nobody!

[Nashville]

I’m just wondering if DerF could possibly almost-but-not-quite-win his way to the almost-but-not-quite-F2.

[Drogo]

After Derek comes in second in the finale, he's going to be a huge threat to win. 

[candall]

Why do we have to put up with 20 minutes of fake superhero posterboard minutiae and 15 minutes of the insulting tease that Ky might change his noms?

I'd rather watch Britney losing her shit at full volume over at the Jury House.  

Don't we usually get more footage of the jury members hanging out?  I wonder if there's an awkward conversation going on over there about homogeneity.

[30 Helens]

Yeah, Deref, you’re a comp beast. As long as that beast is a sloth.

I’m surprised nobody mentioned his repeated malapropism of the week: “arch enimus”. Did he mean enemy or animus? Or British alt metal band Enimus? Your guess is as good as mine.

The women are in an alliance.  The men had to form their own alliance.

The women were not aligned. Just Tiffany and Hannah. They thought they were in a thruple (gamewise) with Ky, but he decided to go with X and Comp Sloth instead. That’s when Tiff and Hannah tried to form a women’s alliance with Azah.

I believe jury footage is only shown Thursdays, but I agree, I'd much rather watch that than loooong, super drawn-out comps.

Chaddah is her last name 😁

Were they in a throuple, or were they a two person alliance that brought in Ky as a dispensable shield/assassin then blew up their own games when 1) Hannah nominated him against Alyssa instead of someone who hadn't hit the block yet and/or wasn't in said throuple and 2) Tiffany was trying to 'keep up appearances' then obviously lied to his face? 

I think Ky is playing a smart game for Ky, with the performances to back it up; he can win against Xavier OR plans for  the next HOH to target Xavier OR is confident to win FHOH and just not take Xavier.

Nicole A. has the record for fastest time I believe at like just below 11 minutes. The winners are all in the 11-12 minute range.

I think he combined enemy and nemesis.

I thought DerF said “enemas” - and I wasn’t inclined to analyze THAT reference a single step further.

I thought he was referring to the great rap group, Public Enema!  Seeing him on the zipline was cracking me up, ain't gonna lie.

I'm with him regarding the finally here elimination of Tiffany.....heiffa was dead to me when she didn't throw a sympathy vote to her 'closest ally', DX and her mocking Claire.  How fitting she’s being kicked out by the one HG she was always condescending to, Ky!  I cain’t wait to see the looks on the jury HG’s when she comes through the door, ‘specially Claire and DX’s.

Speaking of Ky, I have been wondering if he will take X to the end.  Let’s think about this….he’s amassed one hell of a resume and I really think he’s playing a role (the crying, insisting that he wanted Derek to win the last HOH, etc.).  As much as X has an excellent social game, I think the jury would begrudgingly give Ky the win.  We’ll see.

I assumed he meant nemesis. Or a sort of enemy/nemesis combo, like evict/vote = evote.

My thoughts exactly. With a side of, just because he's dyslexic doesn't mean  i can't think he's also a dumbfuck, right?

He also commandeered his pawn SB's full HOH reign to eliminate one of the CO's biggest threats in BabyD, and seemingly ID'd the women's mini alliance within the main CO alliance in time to fire the shots.  Ky's no slouch.

I think Ky will take X, because I think he is sincere about all that best competitor/ fight to the finish bullcrap. I think he also believes X will take him for the same reasons, and wonder if he would feel the same if he knew X is just using him for a stepping stone.

Because I do think X wants to dump Ky as soon as he can and go to the end with Deref or Azah, because X doesn’t care about nobility. X wants to win. But I also think X would win in a final 2 against Ky, because while they both have strong strategic games, X is more likeable and hasn’t bored everyone to death.

I think a lot. Probably all of it wrong.

LOL. To be fair he did MUCH better than I expected him to.

I agree these last few episode seem awfully anticlimactic. Once Kyland won Veto it was pretty much game over. 

[Tachi Rocinante]

Wasn't Chaddah not even in the original Cookout discussion?  She only found out about it because of Tiffany's big mouth.

I'm gonna reply to this in the Episode v Feeds thread.

[bushwah]

This probably isn't where I (newbie) should have said this, but ...

Never having to hear the voice of Tiffany again (okay, except for jury house and then jury) makes me not care which of them wins now. Begging for her to be thrown out so I did not have to endure one more second of that endless self-promoting whining is all I asked, and I got my wish. Too late, but better late, you know.

Of course, her eviction is just another stone on the 20-year pile of the bros sticking together and the women not having the sense they were born with.

Newsflash, Tiffany et alia: everything trumps sex. You may be black, in this case, but you're not men. The black men weren't ever there for you. They were there for themselves. You being black meant nothing to them (even if it actually did to Tiffany, which one doubts, but hey, it was a good story).

I wonder what Claire will think of the final outcome. Threw yourself on your sword for this, eh?
