They say there will be equipment outside, but they won't get out much. Janelle is cold and wants a nap. David goes into the VIP room, David comes in. Tyler asks if he is ready to play, they can do this, they can make it happen. (So far he is working with Christmas, Bay and David) They are talking about the crazy twist, do you play, do you put a target on yourself by winning, take someone else safe, give someone punishment, lots of options. Tyler thinks Cody is pretty cool. David agrees. Tyler said he needs to reach out to some other people. He and David say they are so recent, people don't think about them being players. Enzo comes in. They ask him what he thinks about the VIP twist. Enzo said it is so early for the twist. They think no one has gone up to talk with Cody. Enzo doesn't want to be the first, but they really need to talk with him. (so far I have seen both Nicoles talk with him) They talk about having a plus one, and you have to call it out immediately. Someone will get a punishment as the plus one, but safe. Enzo said he will be a plus one, Tyler asks if he wants the punishment. He said he was a penguin, he doesn't care. He sold the suit on E-Bay for $500. It had pee stains on it and everything. They decide to go hang out. David asks if anyone is using the Lounge, Enzo says it is really cold in there, 10 X colder than their room. Feeds go to upstairs lounge area outside of HOH. Day, Bayleigh. Cody, Ian, Nicole and Kevin are talking about entering the house, and the first game. Cody said he was crucified after his first season because he picked Derrick over Victoria, he would have won against her. He said Paulie didn't want to come back, he wanted to be on TV, but this was the wrong show for him. He prepares hard. He says how hard he came in. Paulie would call Derrick for advice before the show, then come in hard, and Derrick would call Cody and say what is he doing?! 12:33 PM BBT People are congregating in the WA, KT and upstairs balcony lounge. Just general talk, getting to know each other. No game talk

12:00 PM BBT Bay and Tyler are talking. They are talking about working together, they think it can work. Tyler says in front of others they will be civil, but behind the scenes they will act like they are coming after each other. They don't think anyone would think they are together. Tyler apologizes for the way he treated her, he said no matter what he did, he didn't want to make her feel that way. They are making amends for their previous seasons. Bay and Tyler think they can work together. Bay said just don't be mean to her. She said her life is in a different place now, everything is so good. Tyler said she deserves it. Tyler said he gets nauseous thinking about it. Christmas comes in. They ask what Cody is thinking. No one seems to know. They are curious how noms will go. Tyler said everyone is chilling. Christmas said not everyone. Tyler said no one is talking, at least to him. Tyler was up there last night, but nobody was saying anything. Bay decides to go upstairs and talk with Cody. Christmas is talking with Tyler. She is talking about working with Tyler, they don't have to talk, they are good. Christmas asks if he is burying the hatchet with her. He said he doesn't know. She might accept his apology, but Tyler said she will still remember he voted her out. Christmas said they need to check in every couple of days, she is trying to get close to a couple people, Bay and Ian. She said Tyler needs to come out of his shell. He said no one is trying to connect with him, he is a little worried. He needs to see about getting with someone. Christmas leaves, Tyler lays down thinking.

10:15 AM BBT Nicole F is in the HOH talking with Cody. She wants to start something with him, Christmas, Day and Dani. He said Memphis is really cool, too. They both say it is hard to talk, with so many people in the house and watching them. Cody says he didn't want to be the first HOH, but was afraid of being put up if he didn't win. Nicole F says it is hard, he says he is just hoping someone says something or messes up so it would be easy for nominations. Nicole F goes out, and Nicole A comes in. He tells her the same story, he didn't want to win. Cody said he doesn't really talk to people in the game. Nicole says she is just out of the game, so she went to the meet and greets for her season. They are talking about NY, he goes a lot, she won't say exactly where she lives, but it is Suffolk county. Cody goes there all the time. Cody is from New Jersey, so is Enzo, but not near each other. He talks about people from the show he has met, but he doesn't keep in touch with any of them. They talk about David, and how excited he was to pick a bed, he never got to do that in his season. Talk turns to Day, and Cody's brother. He is doing better, but he spiraled. He had a rough time. His brother was crucified on twitter. He has been on X on the beach and The Challenge. (who was his brother?) 10:29 AM BBT Nicole A and Cody finish their talk and leave the room. Cody said he will leave it open if she wants to use the bathroom or something. She talks about the birds, she hates birds. Cody is surprised, said there is beauty in a cardinal. Nicole F says birds are flying dinosaurs. They go downstairs. Cody goes to the SR, says they have already gone through all of the water. He puts something in the WA, and leaves, Day walks past him in the hallway and says she wants to talk. He agrees, as they keep walking in opposite directions. Christmas is called to the DR. It startled Cody. 10:33 AM BBT David is in the WA with Day and Janelle. He asks what she has been on. She said twice on BB and twice on The Challenge. He said she is a pro. She said she is trying to be. She said she wants to be on The Circle, then she will be done. She talks about The Challenge, how it isn't live, so after the 3 months, you go home and have to watch it, so you don't get to check out. She prefers BB, where you leave and get to check out. Janelle asks what the prizes are, Day explains. Kaysar comes into the WA, discusses wearing glasses with David. David explains how blind he is. Dani comes in, said they didn't need her in the DR, she isn't on this episode, they laugh. Someone asks about Portia. Dani said they aren't friends anymore. She said she really liked her, worked with her on the show, but when Dani and Dom were dating, Portia was hanging all over Dom, so that broke the friendship. She asked Janelle if she is still in touch with her, Janelle said she doesn't live in FL anymore, but heard Portia got married. Ian is in the WA now, they are talking about degrees. Dani said hers is to teach art, but to hire a nanny at the low teacher pay, it isn't worth it. Talking about how sad it is that teachers have to shape the children, yet don't get much money, and have to use their own for supplies. Discussing homeschooling, Zoom school, and how good Brittney is at homeschooling. Lots of general chatter in KT and WA, no game talk. I am out for a while.

Feeds are back, Dani gets called to the DR. She is in the BR with Da'Vonne She asks don't they see she is putting on make up? She said she will go in about 10 minutes, she is really fast putting on make up. She rubs it in, she said she is low maintamence, she was raised by her grandmother, and doesn't do a lot of make up. She continues talking to Da, wanting to go outside and see the sky. They are hoping there aren't too many twists. they feel like it messes with the game. They laugh that it is only day 2. They are talking about production, people who aren't there anymore. Da asks Dani if she has talked to "him" yet, they both say they haven't. They said no one is talking game, and Da is trying to talk with everyone, but that can be sketchy too, because people see her going from person to person. Dani brings up going after the pairs, especially Kaysar and Janelle. Whispering now, someone with how close Keesha is with someone. Da said she was trying to give hints to Dani early. They both like Tyler, Dani didn't think she would. They talk how he is there without Kaycee, that he really thought she would be there. He seems lost. 10:04 AM BBT Day and Dani still chatting. They are trying to decide who has someone in the house. Day said Nicole A has David. They don't think they are close. Dani said he is the Chicken George of this season. They think he might go far under the radar. No one knows what he is like in comps, since he didn't do much his season. Talk about the easy comp, and they could have changed clothes into something cute. Short music cutaway, when they come back, Dani is gone.

Dani asks if they took a lot of her stuff away, Nicole F said no, she wished they did, then she wouldn't have so many choices. Dani said she had her stuff for 2 weeks, then they made her take half of her stuff out in the green room. Feeds switch to DR. Christmas says she loves the live feeders, they know the backstory of the houseguests, compared to people who just watch the show and see only the edits. Nicole asks Christmas about her tattoos.

11:08 AM BBT Nicole wants to call a house meeting. Holly was listening at the door to everything being said. Holly wants to talk to Cliff and Nicole before Michie gets out of DR.

10:40 AM BBT Cliff leaves the RV, sees Tommy. He says it is depressing, he sees Tommy's bags packed. Cliff wants to force himself to get something to eat. Tommy asks if he wants to play Backgammon, Cliff says yes, but give him a second to get something to eat. Tommy says yeah, yeah, yeah, and leaves. 10:55 AM BBT Nicole and Cliff take Tommy into the RV to talk. Nicole says she will start. She is confused, tells Tommy that Michie spoke to them and said he (Tommy) is blowing smoke up their tookus. Tommy explains himself. He felt Holly/Jackson were working together as well as him and Christie also working together with them. He said it turned out that Cliff and Nicole were the middle people. Nicole asks if he talked to Michie in the last day or two. Tommy said he isn't talking game with them. Tommy said he never went to them once. Nicole says Michie said Tommy suggested working together to take out Cliff next, then take Nicole to the final 3 because she can't win anything. He said that is a big fat lie. Tommy said he came into the Have-Not room to cover his bases, but he didn't say anything, which Tommy thought was weird. Holly is outside eavesdropping on the conversation.

10:26 AM BBT We get Cliff Notes from the RV. Cliff said he has a big decision to make. He didn't come into the game scared, he doesn't want to play that way. He said if they play making a game move one person goes home, if they play scared, as to who would be best to keep if they lose HOH/Veto, it is another person. He wants to go out playing the game, he is doing his damndest to get himself to the end. He hopes people are proud of him. He said if he and Nicole don't win these comps, and Michie continues to steamroll, it is on them. He said it is so hard, Karen, Kelly, Daniel, he would give anything to have them there to bounce ideas off of for just 15 minutes. He wouldn't feel so alone. He said he isn't alone, he has Nicole, they are partners from start to finish, but they might not make it to final two, but it won't be for lack of trying. He hopes they do, but he hopes people see how hard he is trying. He still loves this game, so glad he made it into this house, super glad he is still there. So ready for it to be over. He doesn't want to leave early, wants to be there until the end. He said he is at his end. The depression, stress, anxiety, it is a physical thing. He knew the game would test him, he could show off who he is, but the past couple of weeks have been a test to his mental health. He has to question every single conversation, every decision, he would love to see what a brain scan of him now would be compared to three months ago. He feels there are chemicals and defense mechanisms that are kicking in. He is usually a fairly calm, cool, laid back guy. Nicole a little less so. He doesn't even imagine what all of this stress and anxiety is doing to her. He sees it in the others, too. Michie is running around all the time, Holly cries all the time, Tommy is literally begging, making promises and statements, and someone still goes home tonight, and again next Thursday night then that is it until finale. He wants to be one of those 3 people, he wants Nicole to be one of those people. That means they are 40% of the house, and they have to get out the other three in order to make that happen. They can make that happen by winning the next two competitions. Cliff likes to think of himself as strong, unbreakable. Physically he won't will every competition, mentally he won't win every comp. But, from an emotional and mental state, you can't break him. He is not sure that is the case anymore. He feels he is at his breaking point, but he refuses to give in. This decision right now isn't just about the final 2, in is an internal fight. He hears a noise from outside the door, quickly says he has to stop right now, SKD 143 love you.

9:49 AM BBT Jackson isn't saying much, or giving Holly any advise. He is just laying there. Cliff talking to Nicole. He doesn't think the jury house is as stacked as much as what they think. They go over the people in jury, and how they went out.

9:45 AM BBT Cliff and Nicole still in the RV trying to decide who to vote out, Tommy alone in the LR, Holly is talking to Jackson in bed in the HOH, wondering what Cliff and Nicole are going to do. Holly said a lot can happen in a week. If Tommy is still there, it would be better for Tommy to go with Jackson two on two rather than being part of a three on one. She thinks Tommy feels he can beat Jackson in the f2. She said a lot can change in a week.

9:27 AM BBT Cliff and Nicole are still trying to decide what to do. They are counting jury votes, said Tommy going out would be getting rid of a competitor, Jackson told them that he is scared of Tommy knowing the days. They don't know that they buy Jackson said he wants to take one of them. Cliff said if they win (veto) on Saturday, then they are fine, but if Jackson or Holly win, they don't know who goes. Going over all the scenarios of veto/HOH wins and who would go after whom. 9:32 AM BBT Tommy takes his things to the SR, Jackson goes back to the HOH and crawls into bed with Holly. Cliff and Nicole are still trying to decide what to do, and who is playing them. Cliff feels they have a chance to beat Tommy or Jackson today. If they send out Holly, they have to beat Tommy and Jackson in the next two rounds. Cliff feels like it is easier to beat Holly than Tommy. Do they want to be against Holly or Tommy in F3, and if one of them makes it to F2, who do they want to sit against. They both agree Holly. They talk about keeping Tommy as a tool t go after Jackson, but he is a bigger threat against them as well. Cliff said he is also a number, 3 against 1 instead of 2 against 2. Cliff would rather go against Holly. 9:38 AM BBT Nicole wonders if Tommy threw the HOH comp on purpose to go against Cliff and Nicole. They talk about Tommy covering his *ss by reporting to Jackson/Holly. Repeating themselves a lot about Tommy telling them what they want to hear. Nicole says they can tell Jackson they are leaning toward voting out Tommy as they feel they have been played by him. (They are really being played by Jackson). Cliff asks if she wants to call Tommy out on his intentions in front of everyone. Nicole said she has kept her cool for 85 days, she doesn't want her exhaustion and frustration to blow that up? Cliff wants to talk with Tommy to see his reaction. Cliff wants to confront Holly as well, to see if she really told Tommy to win the veto so they could take a shot at Cliff.

9:14 AM BBT Feeds are back. Cliff is sitting on the side of the bed in the RV, Nicole is still in bed. BB tells Jackson to turn the lights on in the bedroom, he says sorry and turns on the HOH lights. Holly covers her head. Jackson heads downstairs to exchange his battery, leaving Holly in bed. He then goes to the RV to say good morning to Nicole. Cliff was in the room outside the RV. Jackson said " what a wreck" before entering the RV. Tommy is out of bed and getting ready for the day. Cliff comes back into the RV. Nicole says she can't believe it is morning already. Cliff said he got up around 6:00, then got up again at 7:30 and took a shower. He then went back to bed. Nicole said she is sorry. Cliff said he is thinking about their options, and once they decide they have to stick to it. Cliff wonders why Tommy told Holly and Jackson about his relationship with Christie. They think he is covering his bases. Nicole and Cliff go over their options, and what happens if they keep Tommy. Jackson goes to the TBR to say good morning to Tommy. Nicole says from a competition stand point, their chances are better against Holly. Cliff said true, but then they would have the showmance to deal with. Nicole wonders if the 5 of them should get together and hash it all out. She is worried that Tommy and Jackson will hook up as buddy buddy and then they are screwed. Cliff said Tommy can say whatever they want to hear, but that doesn't mean he isn't working with Jackson. They also question whether Holly has been throwing comps as she doesn't need to win. Tommy has his luggage, looks like he is packing early.

11:45 AM BBT Tommy and Nicole are finished with their origami penguins. Jackson asks Tommy to play chess, so they head upstairs. Nicole goes to the WA, where Cliff has been sitting, going over days in his head. They do some jedi training on days, what happened first, who went out when, etc. Nicole noticed the house is so much quieter without Jess, and that Christie was aggressive. There is a little game talk, but it is a lot of whispering. Cliff decides to go upstairs and coach the chess game, to keep the guys talking game to a minimum. Nicole says she might join them, she stays in the WA just staring, or deep in thought. 11:49 AM BBT There hasn't been any talking at the chess game, there wasn't any before Cliff got there, either. 11:55 AM BBT Cliff gets called to the DR. Tommy and Jackson are still playing chess, Tommy is berating himself for being so bad at it. Holly goes to the WA and talks with Nicole about taking showers and washing her hair. Nicole wanted to take a hot shower because she is so cold, but is afraid she will get called to the DR and her hair will be wet. Holly offers to help her with her hair and dry shampoo. Jackson comes downstairs. picks up Holly in a big hug. Nicole says she has a problem with this salon, she is supposed to be having her hair done! Jackson says sorry, his to girls. Nicole laughs because he said it right into Holly's "bosoms". They laugh. Holly goes back to doing Nicole's hair. They are going to do space buns, trying to decide the best way to do them. Tommy comes in, and gives suggestions on the hair. Nicole keeps apologizing for her hair being greasy. Jackson wants to play chess some more, he complains how bored he is. Holly laughs at how Nicole's hair looks, Tommy says she looks like Polly Pocket. They continue to work on Nicole's hair. Holly said her extensions are showing because she did her hair so fast this morning. Nicole doesn't understand how Holly can do her hair like that. 12:06 BBT FoTH. Back, still doing hair, Jackson and Tommy are watching in the WA. Jackson keeps talking about production, so we get FoTH more. HGs are talking about their dreams. ( I am out for a while)

Says good morning to Cliff, and asks if he heard BB call Tommy to the DR? Cliff said yes. They discuss how they are both tired, and went back to sleep after their 9?11 tribute. Tommy said it took him a while to fall back to sleep. FoTH again. 10:35 AM BBT Nicole is up and in the KT, Holly is putting on her make up in the HOH room. Nicole goes to the W. She talks to Cliff who is in the shower. Cliff asks what BB said earlier, Nicole explains it was "You are one day closer to 500.thousand.dollars" Nicole said she screamed. Nicole hopes she gets to shower before being called to the DR. She asks Cliff if he wants some tea, he declines, then she heads to the KT.

10:15 AM BBT Feeds are back. Feeds 1/2 are on Nicole in the RV, still in bed, lights are on. Feeds 3/4 are of the HOH room, still dark. Feeds switch to Cliff, who is up in the TBR.
