How badly is Chelsie kicking herself now, I wonder?

Makensy is not targeting Chelsie, so it doesn't matter for her, does it?

We just really need Rubina or Kimo to win POV. 

Honestly, isn't this IDEAL for Chelsie, as it will be MAKENSY who eliminates Rubina and Kimo, right?

Yes, it does.  She had a chance to get rid of a competition threat and didn't take it.

If she ends up beasting her way to the end, then Chelsie only has herself to blame.

[Brian Cronin]

If she beasts her way to the end, she'll TAKE Chelsie!

Who cares.  Like Brian said above, Chelsie has it made cause MJ will take her to the end.  And Chelsie is a lock with the jury.  They will vote her over anyone else. 

Chelsie didn't ruffle feathers sending Leah to the jury, MJ did.  Chelsie has won HOH several times so a few more comps from MJ means nothing.  Comps don't mean much anyway.  And if that isn't enough, T'Kor will be busy guilting fellow jury members into voting for a POC to right the wrongs of society.

For one, I care.

And for two, competitions do matter.  They did for Jag.  And eight seasons before him, they did for Steve, too.

[Brian Cronin]

The only vague hope we have is that whoever is left between Rubina and Kimo wins HoH next week, and that Makensy wins POV. Makensy would probably still vote Cam out over Chelsie, but it's not a LOCK. 

Then you'd have a F3 of Makensy, Chelsie and Rubina/Kimo, and....yeah, never mind, Chelsie is pretty much guaranteed a F2 spot, and therefore, a win. 

[Rodney]

Well, now I know why Chelsie wussed out of targeting Makensy.  She didn't.  She actually had a change of plans.

She told the cameras that Makensy's bad HoH is more than likely going to make her the shiniest opponent to beat in the F2.  So now she wants to get there with her, even at Cam's expense.  So apparently, while the feeds were down before the show, she decided on making Makensy her big, shiny goat that she can beat.  Looks like those who figured that Chelsie would want that were spot-on.  She's practically gloating that no one will want to vote for her after she threw out the only two true numbers that she had.

And she might be right.  If -- no, when -- Leah and/or Angela tell Quinn and T'kor about this, they will not be impressed with Makensy at all.  Neither will respect her doing that.

But moving on to the plans for this week.

After celebrating privately, Makensy tells Chelsie that the nominations will be Kimo and Rubina (of course), with Kimo as the target (again, of course).  If he wins the Veto, then Rubina becomes the target.

But then, Chelsie gets nervous when Makensy tells her what she wants to do if one of them comes down with the Veto.  Makensy wants to put Chelsie up as a pawn to give the pretense of "distance" between them.  Chelsie immediately tries to shut that down, but Makensy seems determined to go through with that.

Hahaha...that is hilarious. The sad thing is that even with a chance at a shot at Chelsie, it actually legitimately WOULDN'T make sense for Makensy to take the shot at her this week.

Chelsie will have that idea shut down asap.  She has total mind control over MJ.  She is Rasputin to MK's Tsarina.

[peachmangosteen]

I don't really think comps even mattered with Jag or Steve. The majority of the jury voting just liked them better than the other person, which is usually how people win lol.

Man, for the first like 11 weeks this season was just straight-up amazing, always going the best way. And now the endgame is the exact opposite. Welcome to Big Brother, I guess.

Edited September 27 by peachmangosteen

[peachmangosteen]

I thought about the possibility of Kimo winning veto just so Chelsie doesn't get exactly what she wants again but then I remembered it's BB Comics so that won't happen. MJ almost certainly has that unless she's just absolutely horrible at figuring out the differences.

[Ellee]

My mind not the best today …..

Auntie Julie? How long has Chelsie been saying that?  Was that part of her strategy to be ‘untouchable’? 
 

 

[Callaphera]

I certainly care extremely less now that my #1 and #2 picks have been taken out in the double. Well, that and congrats on making final five, it's a huge accomplishment in Big Brother, but also I check out at this point because it's boring and they do nothing but lay around and practice their final 2 speeches.

So props to @Rodney, who I believe can go the distance to the end after running most of this marathon and be the sacrificial lamb (canary in the coalmine? It's my first cup of coffee and it's a confusing zoo) we send to the feeds to keep us updated on the lack of going-ons. I may have just voluntold you but know that I did it with nothing but good and love and a real dislike of late game feeds in my heart.

[Katesus7]

I'm just happy that Angela is FINALLY gone, but I've pretty much checked out of Big Brother and have moved on to other things.  I'll check in to see who wins comps, but hourly updates on Chelsie's latest strategy has no appeal to me.  Good times, though, folks!

Kimo was good at detail on that first AI Arena he won but he isn't too physical.

And if he won it just means Rubina goes to jury one week ahead of him anyway.  (We are talking about the veto this week, right?).

I believe that Chelsie had a crush on Cam prior to entering the house. She has mentioned a few times that she followed him on TikTok & would send his videos to her friends & family.

I can't believe Cam makes TikTok's that any one would follow, he is so dull in the house.

[Rodney]

Sounds like Rubina's starting to finally see through Chelsie, if only a little bit.

This morning, she went to Makensy to tell her that Chelsie and Cam had actually been planning to go after her in the double.  Makensy was shocked by this, but then asked why they didn't take the shot at her.  Rubina believes (and she's right) that Chelsie wasn't "woman enough" (surprisingly, in her words) to take the shot herself.

Although this whole thing took Makensy aback, she told Rubina outright that she didn't want to blindly believe everything she heard.

Which . . . fair enough, I guess, Makensy.  But given how scared you were feeling going into the double, maybe consider that nugget to have at least a little bit of truth to it?

Edited September 27 by Rodney

[Rodney]

Surprise, surprise.

Kimo and Rubina have been nominated.  Makensy's role as Chelsie's puppet continues.

[Brian Cronin]

I just think that smart players like Chelsie SEEK OUT morons like Makensy, so I don't think it is a shot at Chelsie that she is playing with morons, that's what smart players do, they manipulate morons.

Or those with low self-esteem, like Makensy clearly has.  Why else would she be so desperate for Chelsie's approval?

I checked in probably because I’m a masochist because this end game is so predictable that it defies the BB slogan of expect the unexpected. The only thing that would redeem this ending for me is if the jury goes rogue and gives the win to the ottoman. And I hate myself for even considering that much less wanting it, ugh! I think I’ll go back to ignoring BB. This season was so promising, I shoulda known better. 

[Rodney]

So here's apparently what happened before nominations, after Rubina alerted Makensy.

While bathing together in the HoH bathtub, Makensy actually did confront Chelsie with what Rubina told her about her and Cam considering targeting her during the double.  Chelsie says that she did not mention Makensy specifically as a target to Rubina (which is a lie).  Chelsie asked Rubina what shot she was taking.  She says that Rubina is also aware that anyone sitting next to Makensy will lose.  Chelsie says that she was trying to pull it out of Rubina.  Chelsie said that she had a quick conversation with Rubina.  Chelsie thought Rubina was trying to give her a heads up that she (Rubina) was going to target her (Chelsie) and Makensy.  Then, when she (Chelsie) won HoH, Rubina came running up asking if she was going to take the shot.  That was when she knew that Rubina meant Makensy.  (All of that is another lie.  She told Rubina flat-out that Makensy was the target for the double.  She only pussied out because she herself won HoH and was scared to do the job herself.)

Makensy tells Chelise that she’s terrified about next week.  She says she did not want to win this HoH.  Chelsie says she wanted this HoH, but knew she had to win the double.  She says that if Rubina wins HoH next week, she’ll target Cam, which is fine with her.  Cam has zero blood on his hands, which he could use as strategy, but that’s it.  And if the jury's bitter, then that's all that he would need to use.

Makensy says that Rubina insinuated that Kimo would have taken a shot at her and Chelsie (which is true; Kimo did say that to Rubina).  Chelsie says that when Kimo is gone, Rubina will fold.

Makensy is worried about Cam.  Chelsie tells her the fact that they (Chelsie and Makensy) touched everybody in jury, so their best chance is taking each other to the F2.  Chelsie tells Makensy that she did consider putting Cam up as the replacement nominee during the double, but feared that he would go home.  She said she that considered Cam as a replacement nominee before considering Makensy.

My takeaway from this is that Makensy bought Chelsie's defense hook, line, and sinker, despite her lying and Rubina telling her the truth.  Thus did she nominate Kimo and Rubina.

She's very lucky MJ kept at it because she was trying everything she could to dismiss MJ at first, which is a huge mistake but MJ is a special kind of stupid so it didn't matter.

They need to stop putting 1 person with minimal game sense (that's all Chelsie has lol) in the house with so many idiots, people who have no idea what this game even is, people who are just here for exposure, people who care more about making a good show, etc. I don't care about good gameplay so I say cast a whole house of idiots (they were close this season) but at the very least let's cast 2 people that have a functioning brain cell.

[choclatechip45]

I'm fine with Chelsea winning now because I really can't stand the others who are left with her. 

[peachmangosteen]

I mostly still like everyone except Chelsie. Well, I go back and forth on them but I haven't like Chelsie at all in weeks lol.

I'm glad to hear Rubina told MJ about Chelsie contemplating getting rid of her. I mean, it didn't do anything but I just expected Rubina to not do anything at all and certainly didn't think she'd try to throw Chelsie utb. It's a shame her and Kimo are just not good at most comps.

Edited September 28 by peachmangosteen

[Brian Cronin]

I do agree that it was impressive to see Rubina trying SOMEthing. 

[Rodney]

They just had the Comics Veto.  Makensy won that, too.

Guess it's bye-bye, Kimo, unless he can somehow get Makensy to use it on him.

[Brian Cronin]

I mean, if Kimo and Rubina were ever going to do ANYTHING THEY COULD to drill into Makensy's head why it makes sense to cut Chelsie, NOW WOULD BE THE TIME.

But, well, A. They won't, because they suck, and B. They won't get through to her even if they tried (partially because they suck, partially because Makensy is dumb, but also, to be frank, partially because at this point, with her other allies gone, it probably DOESN'T make sense to get rid of Chelsie). 

[Rodney]

Leah's comic had something to do with her being a chubby chaser.

Lisa was called the "Glitter Critter."

Oh, no, Kimo!  He lost because he had the wrong comics for Quinn and Angela for too long!

Rubina's comic involved roller skates, because it had to do with her pre-show intro from the premiere.

Really says something that they couldn't find something about her on the show, so they had to look at her intro instead.

Rubina's already said that she's going to try again later.  She said it before the feeds dropped for the Veto Competition.  She is bound and determined to break up Chelsie and Cam to keep herself and Kimo intact.

[Rodney]

Speaking of competitions, here's how much everyone has under their belt:

Cam: one Veto.
Chelsie: three HoHs and one AI Arena.
Kimo: one AI Arena and one Veto.
Makensy: one Upgrade, two AI Arenas, three Vetoes, and two HoHs.
Rubina: one AI Arena.

It's also worth noting that Makensy and Rubina are the only "yes" voters for Ainsley left in game.  Cam, Chelsie, and Kimo were all "no" voters.

[Rodney]

Interesting.

I thought that perhaps, this might be the first Veto to go unused.  But Makensy is telling Chelsie that she's thinking about taking Rubina down and throwing up Cam to get rid of him.

Chelsie doesn't seem for it . . . but she doesn't seem against it, either, which makes it even more interesting.

But, like, you're willing to do THAT, but not get rid of Chelsie? Like, WHY, dude?

I think that it might be a good idea.

If Cam is gone, then Chelsie is pretty much automatically the F4 HoH.  That one's usually Q&A, and Kimo's been terrible at those competitions, and Rubina's been hit-or-miss at them.  Chelsie has greatly excelled at those.

Chelsie would also have a good shot at the Veto there, since that's been the Days Veto for quite some time.  If Cam gets there, then he probably wins, because he has his days down.  Without him, Chelsie could conceivably beat Makensy at that, because she also has her days down.

The only problem would be whether or not she'd want to get Makensy's blood on her hands if Makensy, in fact, loses that Veto and send her out.  If so, then great.  Her last big competition is gone.  If not, then she just takes a safe route and gets Kimo evicted.

[Rodney]

Chelsie is coming around to backdooring Cam.

She and Makensy think that he threw the Veto Competition.  The reasoning for it is kind of solid.  He's usually good at physical competitions and attention-to-detail competitions.  Yet he actually timed out in this competition, along with Kimo and Rubina?  They are both suspicious of this.

In addition, they have apparently noticed that he is getting closer to Kimo and Rubina, which unsettles both of them.  They fear that he might try to use the survivor of the duo to come after them.

Sounds like Cam might be in trouble on Monday if this mindset holds up throughout the weekend.

Right?  Seems like when Angela left, her paranoia stayed behind and has now infected Chelsie and Makensy.

Same time, though, they're not totally wrong.  Cam has been trying to get close to Kimo and Rubina.  Just as friends, though, not for game purposes.

Since the houseguests got to watch The Summit, I'll mention the show here and claim my comment is related to BB.  I can't find a forum to discuss the show.  :-( 

[Rodney]

Not much interesting going on today.

About the most interesting thing going on right now is Chelsie and Makensy grilling Cam for a while about how shitty he is at competitions.  You see glimpses of why they might want Cam gone (namely that Rubina will always take Cam over one of the two "competition beasts"), but they are seemingly just wrapping it around he needs to do better on Thursday.  Cam is pretty defensive.

Not sure if Makensy is still planning on using the Veto.  We might need some non-Cam time between the two women to see.  But it's still a possibility.

Oh, wait.  Rubina and Kimo also discussed telling Makensy about Chelsie and Cam making a F4 with them last week, hoping to get Makensy to put up one of them (they prefer Chelsie) in place of (hopefully) Rubina.

The fact that they're willing to get Chelsie put up shows to me that T'kor's conditioning of them is finally starting to wear off.

That said, I’m not holding my breath that it'll happen, as I think that Makensy would predictably, dutifully run it right back to Chelsie, who, in turn, will just make sure that one of Kimo or Rubina goes to the jury house, after all.
