8:05pm BBT Joe leaves and Alyssa/Terrance laugh quietly over his pitch. Terrance tells her Joe was annoying him earlier too with his pitch.

7:41pm BBT At Big Brochella, Jasmine/Taylor are in the loft watching Monte/Michael play bumper pool. At Dyre Fest, Terrance/Alyssa are on the hammock, w/Kyle on the ground beside and Joe leaning against the BY wall. Terrance is under the tent. It's Monte vs. Taylor now. 7:50pm BBT Joe continues campaigning to Terrance with his 2nd life offer. You and Alyssa won't go home next week. Don't take this the wrong way because I'm Arabic, but I'm going to bomb the place, I'll make so much smoke you and Alyssa can hide in it. 7:55pm BBT Joe tells Terrance he'll make sure he gets to play the game he wanted to play. He's been on the block 4 times. If anyone deserves a second life in the game, it's you, not me. 8:00pm BBT Terrance tells Alyssa he hopes Monte is gone (from Big Brochella) and Kyle/Alyssa win HoH. They discuss how to handle going back inside knowing about The Leftovers. (from this, it sounds like if Turner forces a tie, Alyssa/Terrance plan to evict Joe.)

6:10pm BBT Terrance and Alyssa wonder why BB installed a roof over the BY. Itprovides some shelter from the sun but does take away the breeze. Alyssa hopes they open it up tomorrow (this maybe the maintenance that the indoor HG thought was going on while on HoH LD). 6:45pm BBT Turner and Alyssa are playing cornhole in the BY. He mentions he is off the block, so Terrance used the Veto. Joe says he would owe Terrance if he broke a tie and took him off the block. He has Turner's vote. Terrance doesn't respond. 6:55pm BBT Joe wants wants Turner to witness that he owes Terrance a favor, even if it costs him the game. You give me a 2nd life, he persists, I'll make sure I give you one too. Terrance isn't responding. Alyssa is called to the DR (the BY balcony). Game talk ends. 7:10pm BBT Kyle/Alyssa joking around and Kyle confirms he's on the block. They discuss their plans after the season. Turner joins them and planning ends. Inside, Jasmine/Taylor are at the DT, and Michael is in the KT. Brittany is just milling about. 7:15pm BBT Turner is in the hammock and Kyle is laying in a blanket on some cusions to the side. Turner is quizzing Kyle on movies he's seen (or not seen). Brittany/Michael head up to the loft for some bumper pool.

3:00pm BBT Jasmine signals to Michael in HoH that lunch is ready but he doesn't see. Taylor shows her which camera view Michael is watching.

1:30pm BBT The Big Brochella HG leave HoH. Taylor says the DyreFest HG were in the house this morning (while they were in HoH LD). BB said they were doing maintenance in the BY.

12:50pm BBT Feeds return after over an hour and all Big Brochella HG are in HoH. They are talking about other reality shows. Talk turns to favorite take-out.

11:50am BBT BB woke the HG up about an hour ago and there's still very little action. Taylor was in the KT for a short time. There is a lot of FotH. Presumably BB is trying to get the HG out of bed.

8:30pm BBT Taylor doesn't know how the evictions and recombining of the house will work on Thursday. Monte thinks they'll get a lot of instructions from BB. Taylor thinks it's unfair DyreFest has sunshine and laundry. And a pool, Jasmine adds, and a pool.

8:20pm BBT Around the DT, Jasmine brings up MuffinGate. She knows it was Turner, if anyone wants to confirm it for her. She's unsure, though, who was behind the cookie. The muffin and water in the Ziploc was nasty, though.

5:15pm BBT Monte is teaching Brittany how to play bumper pool while Michael and Taylor watches. Taylor suggests matching up BB23 HG with BB24 HG. That ought to keep them occupied for about 20m. 5:45pm BBT Taylor says she forgot about Kyland. She thinks he's cute. Brittany says he's smart too. Taylor suggests Kyland (BB23) and Alyssa (BB24). (that's a little too similar). Taylor says Kyland and Paloma. No, Brittany. Jasmine is downstairs cooking chicken.

2:07pm BBT Feeds return with everyone in the WA. Jasmine is talking about her eviction speech, so it sounds like the Veto was not used in the Big Brochella house. No feeds from Dyre Fest. Maybe the festival managers neglected to pay the internet provider. In the WA, Brittany asks for each HG's favorite dinosaur.

1:00am BBT Taylor is up and performing evening ADLs. She makes hot cup of tea and remarks to feeders that everyone is asleep and BB still has the lights on. She notices the cat decoration for the first time and thinks it's looking at her. 1:20am BBT Jasmine gets up and finds Michael looking down from the balcony. She can't sleep and is going to pee again (the house is very dry and the HG drink a lot of water). She heads to the WA and finds Taylor. Michael comes down. Taylor thinks Kyle & Turner were nom. 1:25am BBT Jasmine says she fell asleep, woke up, and now can't get back to sleep. Michael leaves her and she puts on her sunglasses and tries to get back to sleep. 4:00am BBT Michael has been the only one up, listening to music in HoH. He finally settles down to sleep and FotH.

Sun 6:30pm BBT Monte talks about the problems of being a tall person. Things often are not ergonomically designed for tall people, such as airplanes. He's never flown first class. Taylor says that'll change if he wins BB. Sun 6:35pm BBT Jasmine laughs at what the DyreFest HG will think when they learn they had a Mexican party. Michael suggests a new game. Monte says name the trashiest alcoholic drink from college. His was a Pinnacle. Michael says a Phillips. Britt didn't drink until 19. Sun 6:45pm BBT The first time Jasmine got drunk was her first college party. She liked how it made her feel but had to learn how to control herself. She learned to not drink around boys she was interested in. Monte says don't judge, but he got drunk in HS at a house party. Sun 6:50pm Taylor says name 1 thing you miss about the outside HG Monte misses chess with Kyle, talking music with Turner, Joe's energy and Alyssa's craziness at night. He misses Terrance's ad-libs. Sun 6:53pm BBT Britt misses Turner's stories, Joe walking on the balls of his feet, Alyssa getting tipsy, and just chilling w/Kyle. She likes how Terrance locks in with you when he talks. Sun 6:56pm BBT Michael misses late night burritos w/Turner, ice cream with Kyle, Alyssa's humor, Joe's energy when they are winding down. Jasmine misses everything about Alyssa. She got her jokes. She loves Terrance being Terrance and Joe saying "Jazzy" and chatting w/Kyle. Sun 6:59pm BBT The HG joke Jasmine should take her time w/Turner. Don't hold back Monte says. She misses his taking space in the house & their differences of opinion. Taylor misses Terrance catching her in clumsy moments and Kyle's goofiness when he zones out in the shower. Sun 7:02pm BBT Taylor misses Alyssa's earnestness, Turner's quick wit and his love for Megan. Brittany likes how Kyle will test how far her kindness will go. Monte sets a new topic - where will they be in 10 years. Michael thinks he'll still be at the Escape Room. Sun 7:05pm BBT Britt wants to have her own guided meditation business & 2 kids. Jasmine wants to have a child. Monte suggests 3. Jasmine says 2. She wants her nail brand to have taken off and she gets to pursue acting. She wants to launch another brand but can't talk on TV. Sun 7:10pm BBT Jasmine continues that she wants to have written an afforable course for how to become a social media influencer. She wants to share what she knows. Sun 7:30pm BBT Taylor starts talking about the person who was supposed to be on their season (Joe is an alternate) and FotH. Monte says from Tiffany's energy, he could tell she watches the show and probably live feeds. They give her a shoutout. Talk turns to BB podcasts. Sun 7:40pm BBT Michael says they are falling asleep and need music. They think BB has chosen favorites because they hear loud music in the BY. Jasmine/Monte speculate it's a punishment (the rumor is there was a wall caller and the music is to drown them out). Sun 7:55pm BBT Monte asks the inside HG if they want to work out. He gets no takers. Brittany wonders if the music is real. Monte hopes they're not having fun outside. Taylor takes pictures of herself with the HoH camera since nobody wants a group photo. Sun 8:00pm BBT Michael is trying to avoid napping so he will sleep tonight. He assumes they have the Veto meeting in the morning (he won't have to do anything if Britt keeps noms the same). Taylor wonders if they'll have the eviction tomorrow as well. Sun 8:02pm BBT Jasmine wonders if it is possible (to have the eviction after the Veto meeting). Michael says it doesn't have to be live but they would have to keep feeds down all week. Taylor's just coming up with crazy situations. Big Brochella has only been 3 days! Sun 8:04pm BBT Taylor feeds Jasmine's ego, saying Tiffany probably thinks Jasmine was as funny in person as she is on the show. Michael thinks Indy was funny without meaning to be. Taylor thinks Turner is funny. Jasmine says he thinks he's funnier than he is. Sun 8:07pm BBT The HG say Brittany is the kindest HG from the girls, and Kyle for the guys. They agree Turner is the sleepiest HG. Monte is the best cook still in the house. They liked Indy's Brazilian dishes they had never had before. Taylor says Joe has the best attitude. Sun 8:11pm BBT The worst attitude was either Nicole or Daniel. Monte says the food's gone downhill since HN ended and FotH. When feeds return, Jasmine says they can't even chat. Talk turns to DyreFest. Monte thinks being outside could be worse than being a HN. Sun 8:15pm BBT Britt is asleep so they decide to take a picture w/her. She wakes up. Taylor wants someone else to take the camera. Monte says the party was fun but they need to clean up. Taylor feels constipated. She's in her Elvis stage. Monte says no joke when Elvis died. Sun 11:00pm BBT The HG are already slipping off to bed though the BR lights are still on.

Here are some filler updates: 10:41am BBT Michael gets fresh towels from the SR. Since the Big Brochella HG cannot go outside, they do not have access to the washer/dryer, so Big Brochella is offering VIP laundy service. In the WA, Jasmine puts her brace onto her foot. 4:40pm BBT Jasmine says it's almost 5pm, it's Big Boring Brochella. Michael/Jasmine/Taylor talk about different flavors of Lays. Jasmine says her husband used to work for Lays so she knows a lot about chips. 5:15pm BBT Taylor's favorite Haloween movie is Hocus Pocus (Hocus Pocus 2 coming this fall). Monte hasn't seen it (Disney+). Taylor is going to make him watch it.

3:10pm BBT Kyle tells Terrance he should DJ live on TikTok and make a lot of money. Inside, Jasmine made chicken for lunch. It's just a wing, she says. Drumsticks, Monte corrects. 3:20pm BBT Joe/Terrance are sunbathing in the pool. BB reminds the HG to wear sunscreen. Terrance asks what sunburn feels like? Kyle says a mild headache (by the time you feel hot on the skin, it's too late and you're likely to start peeling. 3:45pm BBT Jasmine/Michael talk about Terrance's HoH. She thinks he'll make a big move, so maybe one of the guys. Michael wonders if he'll target the showmance. Jasmine says that's possible. She says Monte seems awfully comfortable (on the block). 3:50pm BBT Michael mentions Turner and Jasmine are the only HG to not have hit the block (not anymore). Jasmine says she didn't realize (yeah, right). Jasmine says Terrance might nom Turner for that reason. If not, Michael reasons, that'll put a target on his back. 3:55pm BBT Jasmine/Michael discuss sleeping arrangements when the other half of the house moves back in. Jasmine thinks Kyle will take Indy's bed to be close to Alyssa. Michael says he'd move out then. 3:57pm BBT Michael says if Alyssa is evicted, he'd have the Space BR to himself (that was a slip, because it means Jasmine would also be evicted, but she didn't seem to pick up on that). Michael says whomever goes, they won't be able to record a GB message. 3:59pm BBT Michael wonders if they'll record 6 GB messages this week, 2 for the Big Brochella nominees, and 4 for the potential Dyre Fest nominees. In a separate convo, Monte says if Joe gets evicted, they are going to have to fact-check everyone's story. 4:01pm BBT Monte tells Taylor he thought about lying to the outdoor HG and say he took himself off the block (what purpose would that serve?). He'd be crushed if Joe was evicted and thinks less of Kyle and Turner after last week. We're either 4 or 5 now, Taylor says. 4:10pm BBT Taylor tells Monte what Kyle told her about Michael/Britt being indifferent to evicting Alyssa last week & about his using the Veto. Britt told her it would have been a good time for Alyssa to go. Taylor thinks Kyle is trying to protect and win over Turner. 4:30pm BBT Taylor says she almost heard who won Veto outside. Monte says the house is not soundproof. He wonders why they were in separate rooms today and BB tells them to not talk about production. Taylor says let's work out - Jasmine/Michael pretend to be asleep. 6:02pm BBT Brittany says guided meditation started as a side hustle but she went full time just before BB. She starts talking about brainwaves and Taylor interrupts. She apologizes and returns to talking about visualizing having the HoH key around her neck. 6:04pm BBT Brittany says she visualizes herself winning BB24 24 times every night. In the BY, Joe is playing Chinese Checkers alone while Terrance naps under the tent and Kyle rests on the couch. Brittany says she has won the most Vetos of any woman this season (one). 7:45pm BBT Turner tells Alyssa/Kyle that it is good Joe didn't win Veto. Kyle says he's worried that Michael/Monte/Joe/Taylor will be bonded after a week inside. Turner says he's OK with Terrance not using the Veto, he trusts them (to not vote him out).

6:50pm BBT Joe tells Turner he's coming to terms with being nom. He thinks he's the target. He tells Turner he'll campaign for himself but not against Turner.

12:47pm BBT After Kyle, Terrance tells Turner that Kyle has been pretty decent to him and doesn't want to upset him but he doesn't understand why he didn't use the Veto (so they could backdoor Monte). Turner says he didn't really know anything about it. The house is flippy. 12:50pm Turner says he'll just hang out with Terrance for a few minutes so it seems like they are talking. Terrance says information is like an onion, you keep peeling back to find more. Turner asks if anyone threw his name out? No, says Terrance. Fire. 12:53pm BBT Terrance says they'll make it work. Michael will do what he needs to do & if he doesn't, I'll call his BS. Stuff hasn't added up & this week will reveal all. Turner wants to ride with him & Alyssa. 12:55pm One thing about Terrance, he doesn't waste words. Time for Joe to meet. Terrance wants Alyssa safe. the showmance will play itself out. You know the move I want to make? Kyle, Joe offers. Turner isn't being helpful, Terrance says. 12:57pm BBT Terrance notes Turner hasn't seen the block yet. Joe says walking back in the house w/o Kyle will give him game cred. Terrance doesn't know why Taylor wanted Kyle out. Something is going on in the house. Kyle is part of it, Joe suggests. Yes, Terrance agrees. 12:59pm BBT Maybe Taylor wants to take the shot at Kyle, Terrance muses. Joe says if I am sitting next to Kyle, I'll go. Kyle is insulated. Turner would never send Alyssa home. Joe suggests Monty/Kyle were happy Kyle didn't use the Veto. They are a deadly trio. 1:02pm BBT Terrance says all season his game has been in other people's hands. Finally, its in his hands. No one knows how I feel. I've been fighting all my life. I was at the bottom & I got this opportunity. Why did Taylor put me up? I'm at the bottom. I have to choose me. 2:21pm BBT Feeds return and the Memory Wall show that for the Big Brochella HG, Monte and Jasmine are nominated. There is no memory wall in the BY.

11:35am BBT On the hammock, Kyle begins the delicate job of revealing his real game to Alyssa. He starts out explaining the real story of how the house flipped on Ameerah. He is describing how an alliance came together because of the incident with Nicole/Daniel and Taylor. 11:40am BBT Without naming the alliance, Kyle is letting Alyssa in on The Leftovers secret because she needs to know this week because of the Split House twist. He tells her that Michael/Brittany are her best bet if he's gone. Turner is with Monte/Joe/Taylor. 11:43am BBT Kyle apologizes for being in an alliance without Alyssa. She says he needs to tell Terrance. Kyle agrees, it's probably time. Alyssa says Terrance is a good man. He has no noe and he looks out for her with her Jasmine issues. Kyle agrees to talk to him. 12:00pm BBT Kyle talks with Terrance, who says that he and Michael were able to talk before the house was split and they both have plans. He wants to hold up his end. Kyle tells him that he and Michael/Brittany/Alyssa have his back and he's scared of going up against Monte. 12:02pm BBT Terrance tells Kyle that Michael not takign out Monte during OTEV was worrying. Joe/Taylor come over looking for something. Terrance walks away and Joe tells Kyle that he thinks Kyle and Alyssa will go up because Terrance wants to break up the showmance. 12:20pm BBT They leave and talk resumes. Kyle begins revealing The Leftovers to Terrance. He reveals that he was Taylor's first target last week. Terrance realizes he was on the bottom of what he thought was an alliance. 12:25pm BBT Terrance says Michael said he was targeting Monte. Kyle says he's probably not. Terrance now says he never trusted the situation with Monte. There's a lot going on, Kyle says, how do you know who to trust? Turner joins them and talk stops. 12:28pm BBT Terrance says he thought he was working with Michael/Brittany. When? Since Ameerah, he says. Terrance says he always thought Joe was shady. Kyle explains that Monte/Joe didn't ask him to join their Bestie to protect him but because he was expendable. 12:30pm BBT So Taylor put me up purposely, Terrance asks? Yes, Kyle says. He explains that the target flipped until they decided to try to trick him into backdooring Alyssa. Now he's on the bottom there. He explains how hard they pressured him the night before the Veto mtg. 12:32pm BBT Terrance says he's always out of the loop. That was intentional, Kyle tells him, that's how the alliance operated. He worries if Turner wins Veto, he'll save Joe to protect their alliance. That's his entire game, Kyle says. I appreciate you, bro, says Terrance. 12:35pm BBT Terrance asks for Kyle to give him his word this is all true. Kyle says he has it. He proposes a new alliance with them, Alyssa/Michael/Brittany. He suggests Terrance nom Turner and Joe instead, so Turner can't use the Veto to save Joe. 12:37pm BBT Kyle tells Terrance that Turner told him that's the plan if Joe is nominated. Why would he do that, Terrance asks? Because he's part of that alliance, Kyle says. He's going to pitch you what you want to hear but he'll stay loyal to the alliance in the end. 12:39pm BBT Kyle tells Terrance they have been staying up until 4, 5, 6am talking while they were sleeping. He has no problem going up against Joe but what Turner does is a concern. Kyle takes Terrance through each HoH and eviction. So I blew it throwing the OTEV comp? Yes. 12:41pm BBT OK, Terrance says, so I'm going to put Turner and Joe up. Worst case scenario, Kyle says, he comes down and I go up. You and Alyssa keep me. I trust Turner, Kyle says, but he's more loyal to the alliance. They'll say or do anything to get Alyssa out this week. 12:43pm BBT Kyle says that's my whole game. If I go out this week, I'm at peace. He says he just told Alyssa this right before talking to him. Terrance says if you show me loyalty, I'll be loyal back. Terrance will continue acting like Kyle is his target. OK, says Kyle. 12:45pm BBT Kyle says they won't be happy. They've been trying everything to keep Joe off the block. Terrance starts talking about all his game convos that make more sense now that he knows what's been going on behind his back. They are too confident, Kyle says. 12:46pm BBT Kyle says again he's at the bottom of a 7 person alliance. Dude, Terrance says, I don't even know where the table is. They agree they have each others' backs. Let's go, Terrance says, the second half of the game begins.

Only you humans would think up splitting a house in two. I mean, can you imagine trying to do that with a pond? And what's with the tattoo obsession? My feathers are pink and fluffy and I'm not going to spoil them with body art. I AM body art! But seriously, we now have a beter picture of how this week will play out. While The Big Brocherella HG (HoH Michael, Brittany, Taylor, Monte and Jasmine) are enjoying the luxury of the indoors, the DyerFest HG (HoH Terrance, Turner, Kyle, Alyssa and Joe) are roughing it in the BY. BB has provided a pair of porta-potties, a shower, a tent for shelter, sleeping bags and air mattresses, and a mobile kitchenette outside that doubles as their wash area. A temporary Storage/Diary Room has been set up on the BY balcony. Who has the better deal? For the next week, the outside HG get plenty of sunshine and fresh air but few comforts. And for the next seven days, the inside HG get the benefits of beds and electricity but also artificial lighting and recycled air. As I understand it, Terrance picked Turner, Alyssa, Joe and Kyle in that order. Michael first picked Jasmine but the rest of the order is unclear. Both Terrance and Michael received letters from home and an HoH basket, but only Michael has an HoH room; Terrance is sleeping under the star (they could only see one last night) with the rest of his house. The way Michael's noms are not shaping up is not surprising - Monte will be the pawn against Jasmine, but Jasmine thinks she's the pawn against Monte. Brittany is protected and Taylor is is the backup plan. Naturally, Taylor is full of what-iffs Jasmine wins the Veto. Jasmine has the same question about if Monte wins the Veto. Michael will have to tread lightly between these two women. The bototm line is that as long as Michael can keep Brittany safe, she and he will cast the deciding votes to evict - as HoH, Michael casts a tie-breaking vote. Terrance dove right into his 1-on-1's last night. Terrance and Turner originally had a plan to nominate Kyle and Alyssa and backdoor Joe, but Alyssa talked him out of it, reasoning that Joe was going to play Veto regardless. So Kyle will be the pawn, Joe will be the target, Though Joe is being told Kyle is the target. Terrance trusts Turner and Alyssa implicitly and would love to "lock in" with Kyle as well. What was most interesting is how desperately Joe tried to stay off the block, pushing Terrance to nom Kyle, Alyssa, Turner, anyone else. On the other hand, Kyle said nominate him but keep Alyssa safe. Kyle will be accused of thinking with the wrong head again, but I would argue that Kyle understands Terrance is an honorable man and he is counting on appealing to that honor will go along way with him. Of course, since each split house is essentially a Final 5, there are limited options, and Veto and a fast-pased eviction can lead to unexpected results. In other words, even the one HG that each HoH wants to protect the most (Brittany for Michael, Turner for Terrance) could find themselves facing a studio audience next week. But that's the subject for a future blog post. If you were dividing the house, who would you have picked for Team Michael and Team Terrance?

Apologies for any overlap: 2:35am BBT Turner thinks for noms and such, the Brochella HG will go into HoH LD and they'll go inside (I doubt it). Joe says only one of the porta-potties opens. Maybe it's for HoH only. Turner tells Joe he's been to Utah a lot, it's fire! He lists places he's been. 2:40am BBT Turner likes London as well. Kyle asks if he'd have taken the trip from Taylor. No, he says, he's a good player. Kyle says in Australia they aren't focused on working 50hrs a week, they take time off to travel. Much of Australia is desert. 2:45am BBT Jasmine tells Michael that Turner and Terrance are close. She thinks KYle or Turner will go home outside. Michael says he has to put Monte up. There's no backdoor opportunity - they all play for Veto. He wanted to pick Turner but Terrance got him first. 2:50am BBT Jasmine makes the case for not being nom - Monte is strong and she's injured. Brittany and Taylor are comp beasts. Michael says he doesn't know where Taylor's at - she was chained to Joe all wk. He only needs 1 vote (he breaks a tie). Who knows what will happen. 2:55am BBT Michael says he tried to talk with Terrance before picks but wasn't allowed. Michael is laying the groundwork for nominating Jasmine. I know it's me or Taylor, she says. We said we wouldn't put each other up. Jasmine promises to save Taylor if she's nominated. 3:00am BBT Michael tells Jasmine he know she's a fan. That means something. Jasmine says she's here for her dad, not for the money. Under the tent, Alyssa recalls there was a live audience. Terrance hopes loved ones will be at the Finale. Maybe the pre-jury HG, Alyssa says. 3:05am BBT Terrance say she has to do 1-on-1s. Where, Turner asks? In the corner, he says, in the order he picked them, starting with Turner. They go to the chairs by the pool. Turner suggests putting up Kyle/Alyssa then backdoor Joe. If he wins Veto, he'll pull one down. 3:10am BBT Inside, Monte thanks Michael for picking him over Kyle. Jasmine wants you up, Michael says. As long as she doesn't win Veto, we're good. He thinks being outside will be good for Kyle. Monte says Kyle is with Alyssa more than the game now. 3:15am BBT Outside, Terrance says he's only going to tell Alyssa/Turner the plan to BD Joe. Alyssa is next to talk to Terrance, meaning she was his second pick. This is nuts, he says, just trust me. He wants Joe out. He trusts Turner/Alyssa most, that's why he picked them. 3:20am BBT Terrance tells Alyssa he's going to nominate her and Kyle, pull one down, then nom Joe. She asks why backdoor him? He's going to fight just as hard to win Veto whether he's nom or not. Put up Kyle/Joe, she suggests. Terrance says Joe is too wishy washy. 3:24am BBT Terrance says when he says he's going to do something, he does it. He thinks Michael will target Monte inside. Terrance agrees to cancel Turner's plan to nom Kyle/Alyssa and put up Kyle/Joe. Alyssa says she loved Tracy's letter. 3:28am BBT Terrance wants to lock in with Turner, Alyssa and Kyle. Let's do it, she says. Terrance says he knows she and Jasmine are friends but there's friends and there's game and they have to play the game. Real friendships can outlast the game (Terrance The Wise). 3:30am BBT Terrance meets with Joe (his 3rd pick). What do I do, he asks, I can't put her (Alyssa) up. Not even as a pawn, Joe asks? I gave her my word, T says. Kyle has to go up and Turner has been with me since Day 1. 3:32am BBT Joe worries if he's on the block next to Kyle, Turner will pick Kyle and Alyssa will never vote Kyle out. Joe asks point blank, am I the target? I saved you 3 times! I stuck with you and Monte. It doesn't make sense! 3:34am BBT Terrance assures Joe his target is Kyle. Do you think I'm a big target, Joe asks? If you put me next to Kyle, I won't come back. I have sway with Monte and Taylor has a crush on me. Save me and I can help you. Joe says he would go home against anyone. 3:36am BBT Terrance tells a desperate Joe that everyone plays for the Veto. Joe pushes putting up Kyle/Alyssa, promising to save Alyssa. He'll talk to Alyssa if she's upset when Kyle leaves. She voted against him for Ameerah. He promises he has Terrance's back. 3:38am BBT Joe says he, Terrance, Jasmine and Alyssa can make a run. Inside, Brittany meets with Michael in HoH. She wants Joe, Turner and Kyle out first. Michael says they can't bring Monte to F4. He'd rather have Joe. Brittany warns him Taylor will pick Joe over them. 3:40am BBT Michael wonders if Terrance will evict a Leftover. He wanted Terrance gone but Taylor insisted on Indy. Brittany is confident that next week, Alyssa and Jasmine will join Indy in the JH. 3:42am BBT Michael says Jasmine made a compelling argument to stay off the block. What, asks Brittany. It's her birthday week. They both laugh. Outside, the HG are wrappe din blankets from the cold night air. Kyle sits down for his Terrance Talk (picked last). 3:44am BBT Terrance tells Kyle that he, Turner and Alyssa have an agreement to not put each other up. He wants Joe gone. What do I do? he tells Kyle both Alyssa and Turner suggested putting Kyle up against Joe. Kyle says you need at least one vote to evict Joe. 3:46am BBT Kyle tells Terrance that the trust is gone. Joe already turned on Alyssa. There's no point in backdooring him. If he and Joe are on the block and he wins Veto, Terrance has to put up Turner and Kyle will vote out Joe. Turner won't use the Veto on Joe. 3:48am BBT Kyle agrees Terrance should keep Alyssa off the block to be a vote against Joe. She'll send Joe home. Joe just can't win Veto. Terrance doesn't want that either. He trusts Kyle, Alyssa and Turner without effort. With Joe, he has to guess. 3:50am BBT Kyle tells Terrance that Michael's one vote (to evict) is Brittany. She'll make sure he evicts who he wants. Alyssa is Terrance's one vote. You can throw me up, he permits, that way you can keep your word to Turner and Alyssa. No hard feelings - it's the game. 3:55am BBT Kyle wishes Terrance luck. He's going to have a long DR in the cold. The BY group wonders if BB will turn off the BY lights. Kyle says they have no clock outside. Turner/Kyle both would have picked outside if given the choice. Alyssa isn't so sure. 4:05am BBT Joe asks Kyle what camping is like. Kyle says you pack a tent, fishing pole and a sleeping bag in a backpack and build a fire. Is it a Utah thing, Joe asks? You don't camp in FL (yeah you do). Terrance says in Chicago, camping is called homelessness. 4:15am BBT Michael loves the twist because he won HoH. Why can't I win, asks Brittany? The comp was basically Where's Waldo, he says. It was a crap shot, she says. She worries he feels he's dragging her along. But at least now they can spend more time together. 4:17am BBT Brittany promises to tell him everything if he promises to not blow up her game. It's worth it, he says. Taylor comes in. During the practice comp, he tells her, he could never find one (the target image). He doesn't know how he did it. 4:19am BBT Michael tells Taylor that Alyssa and Jasmine will go this week. Taylor hopes Turner and Kyle do the right thing. Outside, Joe tells Turner Michael is good at everything from working in the Escape Room (that's not really how they work). 4:21am BBT While Joe is in the BYWC, Kyle/Turner quickly review the plan to evict Joe. It makes sense, Kyle says. Talk turns to food before Joe returns. Not a fun experience, he announces. Joe says BB told him they sprayed the BY for bugs. 4:40am BBT The DyerFest HG try to figure out on what side of the BY the sun will rise and where is best to sleep. They all snuggle up in sleeping bags under the tent, laughing at the absurdity of their situation. This is great, Joe says, no, not great, BB will take it away. 8:30am BBT FotH. Time for House DyerFest and House Big Brochella to wake up for the day. Terrance is the first to get up and use the BY WC. He heads to the BY Balcony (the outdoor SR/DR) to change his battery. He performs ADLs and reads his letter from home. 9:20am BBT Alyssa is up and Terrance tells her where to find the battery exchange. Inside, Michael is in the KT making an egg/cheese sandwhich for breakfast. Outside, Joe gets up. Kyle/Alyssa brush their teeth by the BY sink (a portable kitchen/WA is set up). 10:15am BBT The BY HG move from the sleeping bags to the couches. Terrance is using rubbing alchohol to try and remove 182 BB tattoos. Michael tries to see - or hear - the BY HG. The Indoor HG are slowly rising for the day. They are all expecting early noms today.

1:30am BBT Feeds return. There is a tent in the BY. HoH Terrance has selected Tuerner, Alyssa, Kyle and Joe. Inside, HoH Michael has selected Brittany, Taylor, Jasmine and Monte. Kyle says it's not as bad as he thought it would be. 1:32am BBT The DyreFest HG have sleeping bags on an inflatable mattress. Terrance says they cannot go onto the BY balcony without ringing a bel. Joe says he'll never complain about not getting the BY again. Terrance got a letter and pictures from home. 1:35am BBT Inside, Taylor complains that too many pillows were given to the outiders. Alyssa tells Kyle his Boy Scout, Eagle Scout just came out (since they are camping). They built a DR (the balcony) for them. Kyle worries even outside, Terrance's snoring will keep him up. 1:45am BBT Kyle wishes he had been quicker on the button, Michael just beat him. There is a kitchen in the BY. Joe says there is a bell to request it be restocked. They can heat food up. They have bananas and carrots. Terrance wonders if BB thinks they are rabbits. 1:55am BBT Joe thinks this is what it's like to be on Survivor (it's not). Kyle says it's camping food (MRE's - Meals Ready To Eat. Just add water and heat). Terrance says it's all spicy food. He doesn't like spicy food. Kyle says this is home for the next 7 days. 2:00am BBT Turner is excited. Joe says this is like a doomsday shelter (that would be underground). They got 6 cans of tuna and spam. Who eats Spam, Kyle asks? Inside, the HG have full access to the KT, SR and WA. But the Chinese Checkers game is outside. 2:05am BBT The hammock is still in the BY and Alyssa/Turner lay in it, looking at the one star they can see. Terrance says it's the star he wished on that got us out there. There are 2 porta-potties and an open shower in the corner behind the hammock. The water's luke warm. 2:10am BBT Alyssa says they have shower supplies. It's not clear if BB provided them or they were able to grab them from inside. Alyssa says they get the pool every day. Turner compares it to living in his van. Inside, Taylor/Jasmine/Monte complain the fridge smells like fish. 2:15am BBT Terrance tries to remove the tattoos from his body. Turner asks what's the difference between drinking and rubbing alcohol (the latter is poisonous). In HoH, Michael reads his letter and checks out his HoH basket. Hayden had a Ru Paul Drag Race birthday party. 2:25am BBT IN his letter, Hayden says he's been busy cheering Michael and planning their wedding. The cats are OK. The DyreFest HG have their outdoor exercise equipment. Joe comes back from the outdoor DR and says food is limited. Michael thinks they gave him leftover stuff.

Hi BB Fans, Fred Flamingo back again for a quick update. I wanted to wait until the Veto episode aired so I could see what actually happened before airing my own thoughts on the Veto competition. Simply put, I'm on Team Michael on this one. Taylor was being petty and emotional and putting her need for revenge ahead of the interests of The Leftovers. Michael has been wondering when the alliance was going to fracture and Taylor took the first swing. If you're going to swing, though, you better not miss and she lost track of the fact that being HoH is not all powerful - holding the Golden Power of Veto is. The term is called HoHitis, and it's an emotional illness that can aflict those in positions of power who think it entitles them to all sorts of things, such as respect, loyalty, obedience, favors and even prizes. Let's be clear - nobody in the Big Brother house is entitled to anything. Let's explore what happened during the comp. The so-called SuperFans said you always go for the Veto. Strategically, that's not always true. In this case, no matter what Taylor thinks, she was never going to London and deep down, she knows it. Jasmine was always going to claim it over the Veto because that is who she is. She made it clear before the comp that if there were prizes, she was going after the prize. Maybe if Taylor hadn't holed up in HoH and stopped socializing with the other HG, she'd have known that. Instead, she stayed in HoH and waited for others to come see her. If she were game aware, Taylor would know that Jasmine has been using her birthday to demand all sorts of favors from her fellow HG. She even has called it her Birthday Week to make sure everyone knew to wait on her hand and foot. She even told Terrance to go exchange her mic for her when BB asked. It would be his second birthday present. All the HG find her annoying and Taylor has even said if she wasn't a Black woman, she'd put her up herelf. But Taylor made a promise to herself that she would not nominate a Black woman. Even though she knows Jasmine has said she would have no compuntion putting up Taylor. Whether you agree with her decision or not, it's her right to set a values threshold for herself. Some have carelessly used the word racist, and that shows a fundamental lack of understanding of the meaning of the word. Further, it lessens the impact when used to describe a truly horrible and deserving recipient. It is not a question of equivilence - white people cannot decide not to nominate white people. White people also do not have a shared history of centuries of enslavement, predjudice and discrimination. Until a white person has walked in a Black person's shoes, seen the world through their eyes, they cannot fully understand how different their life experience is and how it influences their values and decsions. But I digress. Back to the Veto comp, Jasmine made it clear she wanted the prize and didn't care about the Veto. She going to take it from Taylor if Alyssa hadn't taken it first. And like Alyssa, she assumed Taylor would honor her promises to protect the women. Why they would expect that, I don't know, considering they had shunned her from day one in the BB House. I also don't know why Taylor would have made such a promise when she knew that they would all have to go if she were to be loyal to The Leftovers. It was a fundamentally flawed strategy to initially target Terrance without having a backup plan. Taylor put herself in that position. Once Kyle found out what Taylor, Joe and Monte were planning (thanks to Michael who has been sneakily sowing seeds of distrust), there was no chance he was going to use the Veto. As I mentioned above, this is the second time that the alliance met without him and then tried to blindside him with a target change to Alyssa. While Kyle has been in a showmance, he has never acted against the alliance. And in this case, I would argue he still hasn't because he was keeping the alliance focused on their original target. As I said above, Taylor took the first swing, but Kyle saw it coming and was able to dodge it. I've seen some comments on Social Media (yes, I get WiFi here in the pond) that Kyle took the first shot by refusing the go along with the Alliance, but the alliance wasn't even going along with its own plan, so his refusal to allow himself to be victimized mean he took a shot. As my good friend Sylvester Flamingo once said, they drew first blood. Neither do I believe Kyle's description of Monte, Joe and Taylor coming after him as anything more that recognition that twice now, they have taken actions that put his own game at risk by eliminating somone he feels he can count on. yes, that's part of the game, but that doesn't mean he's supposed to roll over and let his supposed alliance walk over him on their way to the Final 6 or Final 5. That Monte, Joe and Taylor are persons of color is coincidence. The truth is that within the BB House, Kyle has never said or done anything that could be described as predjudiced or discriminatory. To the contrary, it was Kyle who first came to Taylor's defense and handed her a safety vest in the form of The Leftovers. It was also Kyle who spoke against using Taylor as a pawn right away to get out Nicole (she had to be used at some point because of the Festie Bestie twist, but he wanted to make sure it was by her choice). Yes, he grew up Morman and was sheltered for the first 2 decades of his life, but he's spent the last decade making up for lost time by embracing life experiences. How this will play out going forward, I have no idea. In a regular season, Kyle winning HoH would give him the opportunity to demonstrate his loyalty to The Leftovers by winning HoH and proceeding with nominating Jasmine and Terrance. And yes, if necessary, Alyssa as a backup nom. Of course, if he could coldly follow through with that, it would paint an even bigger target on his back because if he could do that to his Showmance, he wouldn't hesitate to do it to anyone in his alliance. On the other hand, Kyle could decide that the other side of the alliance took the first shot and put up Joe and Taylor, with Monte as a backup option. They took a swing and missed, giving him the opportunity to take a retaliatory shot. A reasonable argument could be made that Jasmine and Terrance can wait - they have not been demonstrated to be strategic or social threat. But if The Leftovers spoil, they could also be valuable votes in a new alliance. Which is why Michael, Kyle and Brittany have been talking about possibly bringing in Alyssa before the Final 7. Taylor, of course, cannot compete for HoH this week, so the question then becomes whether Joe or Monte see Kyle's refusal to bend over to their will as an unforgivable act of defiance or or whether their claims of loyalty to the alliance meant only loyalty to them. If they want to stick to The Leftovers, they will also target Jasmine and Terrance, with Alyssa as the back up option as was the original plan. If not, they'll seek to take a second swipe at Kyle. But even that has risks, because if they do, they may lose the power of numbers to control the vote. Of course, as we know and they do not, Big Brother has a new twist that will be unveiled during tonight's 2 hour live eviction show in which the remaining 10 HG will be divided in half, with each playing what we think will be a Final 5 game, complete with HoH and Veto comps, nominations and a Veto ceremony, culminating in a doubel eviction a week later. How that will actually work, I don't know. What I do know is that the next week of Big Brother USA is not to be missed! What do you know? I'd love to hear your comments.

Previously on Big Brother, hoping to build a strong 5-some, Jasmine, Indy and Alyssa recruited Joe and Kyle to a new alliance, completely unaware that their true loyalties lay with The Leftovers. Although Kyle's game was with his alliance, his heart appeared to belong to Alyssa. At a grueling battle for power, Taylor was all that and a bag of chips. The Leftovers hoped to take out Jasmine or Indy, but the pageant queen had her sights set on Showtime. Wanting to give her former Festie Bestie a heads up, Taylor told Indy she was simply a pawn. At the nom ceremony, Taylor continued to mask The Leftovers by hinting at a Monte backdoor. Tonight, it won't be just the PoV on the line - prizes and punishments will also be doled out to the HG. Plus, The Leftovers have been dominating for weeks but are cracks starting to emerge? Find out right now, on Big Brother! Day 38. Taylor says her target is Terrance and these noms will ruffle the fewest feathers. She wants to make sure everyone going to Jury has a reason to root for her. Indy says Taylor gave her a heads up and her target is Monte. But who knows. I need to win Veto. Monte says seeing Indy and Terrance on the block has me super relieved. Putting Turner and myself on the block would have been a rediculous game move and I'm glad we could reel Taylor in. Now the rest of the week should be straight forward with The Leftovers in control. Terrance tells the HG no hugs. This is my 4th time. I don't need no hugs. He tells us it doesn't get any easier, you just know how to pack faster. In HoH, Terrance asks, am I? Taylor shakes her head no. She wants him to win Veto so she can nominate Monte. Terrance sighs. Talyor tells us Terrance is really her target. She's going to show the DJ who really turns the tables in the Big Brother House. It makes no sense to oust you, she tells Terrance. Terrance tells us he does not believe Taylor at all. They are working together. Neither of us have great competition skills. Terrance counts the comp wins he's got. Zero. Indy is next in HoH and Taylor says again the target is Monte and all they have to do is win Veto. In case I don't win, Indy asks, will you pull me down? Yeah, says Taylor. Basically, Taylor says, I'm lying to Indy. If I have to go back on my word, I'll deal with that when I get there. I'm not letting a girl go to the Jury House first, not on my HoH, she tells Indy. I got you. In the Space BR, Joe tells Indy/Alyssa/Jasmine that Taylor told her she watned to BD Monte. Indy says I thought she'd do what we agreed to do and that's why I don't trust people until they have power and how they use it. Joe says we just have to win the Veto. Joe tells us he's a double agent along with Kyle, forced into this fake alliance with Jasmine, Indy and Alyssa called the Five Swatters. I've been relaying info back to The Leftovers and keeping my real alliance a secret. Joe tells the girls he thought Taylor was cloe to Terrance. But what are her options, Alyssa wonders, think about that. Jasmine thinks Terrance went up because he was close to Daniel. There it is, Joe says, I forgot about that. Get your head in the game, Jasmine tells him. Jasmine tells us Joe is not the sharpest tool in the shed but he's useful because Taylor has a crush on him and we can use Joe to milk her like a dairy cow and bring that info back to us. Indy expects them to keep her. Of course, Joe says. In HoH, Joe reports to Taylor what the girls are saying. He explores blindside options: Indy or Terrance comes down and Alyssa goes up. That would be crazy for me, taylor says. She would rather not go back on her word to her. Oh, Joe says, clearly disappointed. Taylor tells us she's already annoyed Indy by putting her up and if she puts up Alyssa too, that means going back on my word with both. I don't want to get too much, or the wrong person's, blood on my hands so I really just hope noms stay the same. In the WA, Joe asks Terrance how he's feeling. You know, he says, there's a big move in play. If picked to play Veto, what would you do? Joe thinks the bigger target is Monte. It's whoever is more likely to send Monte packing at this point, that's who stays up. Terrance tells Joe he wants the Veto to be used to pull down either one to see what is the truth. He tells us it dosn't matter who comes down, what is important is who Taylor names as the replacement. I want to see who she's aligned with so she has to show her cards. Terrance just wants the truth to be seen, he says. Joe runs up to HoH and reports. Joe says if not Monte, maybe her big target should be him if you want to hide your true intent. I have to, she says. Monte might take it personal, Joe says. Just don't win Veto, she says. Joe says he'll throw Veto so Taylor will have him as an option. He tells us Taylor doesn't have that many options for the replacement nom that won't upset or reveal the alliance. By putting him up, she can avoid showing her real target and help conceal how close they are. Joe says that way they protect her game, his game and the alliance. He tells her he trusts her entirely and trying to help her long term game. Taylor says she'll win and take Indy down. Taylor tells us she likes the plan - it solves all her problems. In HoH, Taylor and Joe explain to Michael their new plan to use Joe. What is Joe thinking, Michael asks in DR, it is not necesary to go up as a pawn - there are 4 outside our alliance to put up. We have the power and numbers, none of us have to touch the block this week. Kyle joins them in HoH and Taylor explains the plan. What, Kyle asks? Monte joins and Taylor explains her plan to Monte. That would be big, Kyle says. In the SR, Michael fills Brittany in on Joe and Taylor's big plan. He volunteered, Michael says. He's overplaying, Brittany says of Joe. But if there's a world in which we can get Joe out this week, Michael suggests, and still be good with The Leftovers and the other side of the house, do we take our chances? Brittany is willing to do whatever gets them closer. Michael tells us not only is Joe coming up with really messy plans, he's also playing both sides in a way that only benefits his game. We've see how going up as a pawn ends - just ask Pooch and Nicole. They decide to lay low unti they see who wins the Veto. It's time to pick Veto players. Taylor wants Alyssa to play Veto and take Indy down so she can throw Joe up and send Terrance to the Jury House. She picks HG Choice and chooses Alyssa. Alyssa is excited to play Veto and secure her alliance and save Indy. Terrance chooses Jasmine. Indy chooses Kyle and is happy because he's a Fly Swatter. Kyle loves to compete and if he wins, Joe goes up as a pawn, according to plan. In HoH, Alyssa thanks Taylor for picking her. Taylor wants to know what she would do with the Veto. What would you want, Alyssa asks? She wants Indy to come down. That's fine, Alyssa says, but I feel bad for T. Tayor say she hasn't put her or Kyle in Jeopardy. In the SR, Monte wonders to Joe if gettign Terrance out is more personal than strategic. Me vs. Indy would send Indy home, Joe hopes. She did good on psychadelic slop, Joe points out. And she's good at physical comps. And anything endurance based, Monte adds. Monte tells us Taylor's move against Terrance doesn't seem like the smartest move. There's been bad blood but ignoring Taylor as a bigger threat is bad for the alliance. Monte tells Joe he thinks they can convince Taylor to send Indy home instead. Taylor, Joe, Monte, Kyle and Turner are in HoH. Terrance hasn't spoken to Turner. He's over it, Kyle says, he's done. Now he wants to blow up Taylor's game, Joe adds. Right after the eviction they head into an HoH comp so... Indy has to go, Monte says. We have one who isn't going to win a comp (Terrance), says Turner, and one who could win a comp (Indy). I just don't need those girls, Taylor starts... Thinking you sent Indy home, Joe finishes. Turner suggests saying she wants Indy to stay and she'll think you fought for her. Just an idea, Turner backtracks when his idea doesn't get traction. Taylor tells us she know she said she wouldn't target a woman but the guys have a point. I already lost Indy's trust so I might as well send her to Jury House and get The Leftovers one step closer to Final 7. Joe wonders what Indy's reaction will be if it's him & her. Someone has to win Veto and take Terrance down, Taylor says. Kyle tells us he's excited Indy's the new target, no allegience there. Play the cards your dealt, Taylor says. You're not going anywhere, she tells Joe. Time for Punkaroo! The HG come out to the BY to find a supersized guitar with point values from the neck to the bottom. Turner is hosting and has goth black lipstick. This is 100% his comp, he tells us, a stage, an amp and a giant guiatar. Let's shred this comp! Welcome to Punkaroo, Turner says. The six Veto players are all dressed in differnet colorful punk outfits. Today, you'll be headlining this banger of a punk festival and rocking out on the world's biggest guitar. This comp plays out in a series of rounds. In each round, you'll bounce a ball down the neck of the guitar. You'll either gain or lose points each time the ball bounces in one of the scoring zones. Your total score will be the combined sum of every forward ball bounce. You do not get a point for hitting a fret between score zones. The player with the lowest score each round will be eliminated and have the chance to channel their inner rage by choosing a guitar and smashing it, claiming the prize inside. But don't get too attached, because the players eliminated after you will have the option of keeping their prize or trading for yours. The last player standing will have their choice of prizes, including the Golden PoV. Who's ready to play Punkaroo? Round 1, Kyle goes first. He hits a a 2, 2 and 1, for a total of 5 points before his ball bounces off the guitar. Alyssa is next and hits 2, -1, 2, 1 (her last bounce was in the same score zone) for a total of 4. Next is Taylor. Taylor gets a 2 then a 2, but the second 2 was on a backwards bounce, so she only gets 2 and is in last place. Walking with a cane (no boot), Jasmine is next. She its 1 and 2 for a score of 3. That works, Joe says from the peanut gallery. Indy is next and scores a 1 + 2 + 1 + 3 - 2, for a total of 5, tying Kyle for the lead. Terrance says he loves a good bass but his game is in treble right now (groan). He scores a 2 - 2, resulting in a Zero and replaces Taylor in last place and is eliminated. Terrance smashes the green guitar. He gets Rock The Veto. Turner says you have the Golden PoV but don't get too attached. Terrance says he knew this gift had strings attached. He bets he'll be stuck with a punishment. Round 2. Taylor goes first and scores a 4. Kyle goes second and send the ball down the entire length of the guitar neck, hitting half the scoring zones, including the 5 at the end, resulting in a 14. He takes the lead and does a punk pose. Alyssa goes next and scores a 7, moving on to the next round. Jasmimine scores a 2 and is in last place. Indy scores 0 after hitting positive and negative numbers. She smashes the black guitar and wins Ink 182. She'll be putting on 182 temporary tattoos all week long. Indy says tattoos don't look good on her so she trades with Terrance for the Veto. Kyle scores a 5 to start Round 3. Alyssa falls short with a score of 4. Taylor hits a fret and the ball bounces back and off, for a score of zero. All Jasmine needs is 1 point to move on. Jasmine scores a 3 and Taylor is eliminated. She smashes the red guitar and gets the London Is Calling prize, a trip for 2, home of some of the most notable punk bands of all time. This trip is yours... for now. She chooses to keep the prize instead of claiming Veto. Taylor tells us she didn't take the Veto because she didn't want to be the one to use it. She'll let Kyle win and take Terrance down. Round 4. Alyssa blanks out. Jasmine gets a 3, putting Alyssa in last place. Kyle scores a 3 and Alyssa is eliminated. Alyssa smashes the blue guitar. Taylor tells her to remember she has a replacement nom. Alyssa gets Skid & Fancy. She and another HG will be transported into Big Brother Punk icons Skid and Nancy and chained together for 48 hours. Sounds so fun, Taylor says warningly, and I know who you'll do it with too. Not me, Kyle says from the player platform. Alyssa asks Taylor if she's being serious about the replacement nom? Taylor just grins mischeviously. I really wanna go, Alyssa says. Alyssa says she could keep the punishment and be tied to who knows who, keep the Veto and lose it later, or take a vacation. Girl, please. Alyssa announces she's trading her prize. For the Veto, Taylor asks hopefully? For London Is Calling, Alyssa says. Alyssa tells Taylor she's sorry. Taylor's smile is frozen. This b*tch, she tells us. Bold. Disrespectful. I've done everything to protect Alyssa this week and now the first chance she gets, she takes away my trip and saddles me with a punishment. She's going to regret this. Wow, Monte tells us, America, are you seeing this? Alyssa heard Taylor threaten anyone who took away her trip and she did it anyway. People have been sent home in Big Brother for less. It's time for the Final Round with Kyle and Jasmine. She promises to leave him in the dust like a country road. She scores a 1+1 for 2 points. Kyle needs only a 3 to win. He hits 1 + 2 + 1 - 1 + 2 for a score of 5 and wins the Power of Veto! Kyle does a punk victory dance. Jasmine smashes the orange guitar for the The Cash prize. She wins $5k for rocking out so hard at Punaroo. She says she doesn't want to take Indy's Veto and has always wanted to go to London, so (after some bad British impersonations) she trades for the trip. Kyle smashes the last guitar to win the Punk-itard. He'll wear the Punk-tard and perform punk shows for the HG all week long. Keep it or trade it, Turner asks. This is an easy decision, he tells us, sorry Indy. He takes the PoV from Indy and gives her the Punk-itard. Turner puts the Veto around Kyle's neck. In DR, Kyle says let's go! He might take Terrance down & send Joe up as a pawn. Either way Indy's going home. Alyssa tells us she's super excited for Kyle. She hopes taking the prize from Taylor wasn't a mistake. What's a girl to do? Indy tells us as members of the Five Swatters, Kyle should take her off the block and prove she can trust him. Taylor says she's glad Kyle won the Veto so he can use it and I either put up Joe as a pawn, or explore a revenge fantasy against Alyssa for making the dumbest move of the season. Stay tuned, America. In the Space BR, Alyssa and Kyle are in bed together. Maybe I should have kept it, she says of the punishment. What if you take Indy off and they put her up? Kyle is worried too. After all, Taylor said the girls are safe but then put Indy up. She doesn't stick to he word. Alyssa tells us as a SuperFan, she knows this comp, you never take the bait of the prize, you always take the Veto. Maybe taking the trip to London from the HoH and giving her a punishment cost her the game. She tells Kyle her mom will be so mad she took the trip. Alyssa worries to Kyle that taking the trip makes her seem like she feels comfortable. Taking the Veto shows you want to be there more. I'm an idiot, she tells Kyle as he caresses her, $5k is nothing compared to $750k. I shouldn't have done that. In HoH, Joe, Monte, Brittany and Taylor discuss the Veto comp. They alway say take the Veto, Brittany says, she's a SuperFan! That was a blunder, Monte says. The most deadliest mistake of her life, Joe piles on. Joe says it would stir the house if Alyssa went up. All I did was promise her safety, Taylor tells the others, and she gives me a reason to take that all away. It's not cool, Monte says. And I said right on that stage don't do it. Joe tells us until now, we didn't have a reason to target Alyssa so if Taylor wants to take the shot, that's OK because it's one less person outside my alliance I don't have to deal with. She has to be evicted at some point, so why not sooner rather than later? Brittany says everyone on the bench was shocked. While I'm HoH, Taylor tells them, she wants to take away my trip to London, Taylor says, when you could wait for the rest of the prizes coming down the line? And give you a punishment, Monte reminds her. Who does that, Brittany asks. Monte says sometimes they just do it to themselves. Michael joins them in HoH. Taylor tells them she promised to protect her and Kyle. Will putting Alyssa up destroy her game, Taylor asks? It's justifiable, Monte reasons. Turner comes into HoH. Oh my word, he says. Taylor tells us she started the week not wanting to target the ladies but she's given me a clear reason. This didn't have to happen, Monte says. It did not, Taylor agrees. Will Kyle use the Veto, Michael wonders? Would he be on board with your putting up Alyssa? Michael says Taylor now wanting to target Alyssa because of a prize is stupid. It's very rash and emotional and not a smart move. Monte suggests Kyle can play dumb. He tells us Kyle being in our alliance and a showmance is concerning. The stronger their connection grows, the less likely he is to target her if he wins HoH. And she gave the perfect justification when she took the trip from Taylor. Back in HoH, Taylor says you could have had a trip to London, now you have a trip to the Jury House. Enjoy! I love Kyle to death, Taylor says in the DR, but if he's going to show his allegience to the alliance, he will use the Veto. Then I'll put his GF on the block and show him what happens when you disrespect the HoH. Sorry, Alyssa, London isn't calling. The Jury House is. Alyssa, why, Kyle exclaims in the DR, why would you take the HoH's award and give her a punishment? If Taylor and the other Leftovers want Alyssa on the block, she's probably going to go home. The last thing I want is to be stuck between my Showmance and my alliance. This plan to get rid of Alyssa this week, Michael muses, makes me worry about the future of this alliance. If Kyle doesn't use the Veto, the rest of the alliance might not be happy with him. This is heading to the inevitable destruction and implosion of The Leftovers. Who will Kyle choose, his love or The Leftovers? And which HG will be the first sent to Jury? Plus, if you thought the house was divided now, a new twist will literally split the game in two. All this, live tomorrow night at 9pm ET, on a special 2hr Big Brother!

10:00am BBT Joe/Taylor change their batteries and return to HoH. They are chained together, wearing punk outfits and wigs. 11:00am BBT HG are still down for the count, wasting some great sunshine in the BY. #BB23 11:15am BBT Michael is in the hammock, strategizing with himself. He doesn't want to underestimate the abilities of the other Leftovers. He hasn't gone up against Kyle yet in a comp, only Monte and Joe once, Turner twice. 11:40am BBT In her Punk-A-Tard, Indy bounces into the BY and wishes feeders a happy Tuesday.(Indy is trying to present herself as excited to be in the house after initially reacting to being nominated by suggesting she would leave the JH if evicted) 12:00pm BBT Monte starts lifting weights alone in the BY (Alyssa and Terrance all have bad backs after their workouts Sunday). 12:10pm In the SR, Jasmine looks for granola. She goes back to the Golf BR and announces to Alyssa that the granola is gone. She's going to ask DR for more. And Lays for Taylor. 12:18pm BBT Terrance applies tattoos #91 and #92 in the WA. Halfway there, he says. Taylor/Joe are in the HoH bed, Jedi training. 12:30pm BBT Terrance is on the roll with his 100th tattoo. In the Space BR, Alyssa sits at the foot of Kyle's bed, discussing the upcoming schedule. Brittany is organizing her clothes. Kyle asks how long they have the pool? Until 6am Wednesday, Alyssa says. 12:40pm BBT Kyle had to throw away his jeans after the BBFest Comp night one. Alyssa says he snores. Kyle asks Brittany but she slept through it. Alyssa says she brought 2 pair of white jeans but they keep shrinking (you keep telling yourself that). 1:00pm BBT BB reminds Joe/Taylor they have to speak with a British and New York accent in their punk outfits. Taylor says she IS speaking New York! 1:20pm BBT Brittany applies more tattoos on Terrance's back. He has limited space left and will probably end up having tattoos applied to his scalp (he already has them on his face).

12:00am BBT Indy explains to Michael/Brittany she was just having a bad day when she said she wanted to go home. She really fought to be there and it was really hard, coming from another country. She's trying to lay low as Brittany suggested. 12:02am BBT Indy asks Michael/Brittany if Kyle said how he would vote. Michael says Kyle is keeping an open mind. Indy thinks Turner will vote to keep Terrance. She just needs 5 votes and is going to campaign on Wed. She has Alyssa/Jasmine/Joe and Michael/Brittany make 5. 12:05am BBT Indy points out Terrance was isolated before but now he's playing Chinese Checkers. That's not natural (she means normal). She's not going to change how she is just because she's on the block. She says Michael is not a girl but is an extension of the girls. 12:10am BBT Indy doesn't hold anything against Taylor - she had good intentions and seems upset the Veto wasn't used on her. Indy is confident she'll have Taylor's vote in a tie. Indy thinks it will be a DE this week so that the first juror won't be in the JH alone. 12:15am BBT Indy is opening up to Michael/Brittany with all sorts of rambling thoughts. Taylor is good for Joe. Joe wants a big family. Indy only wants to get pregnant twice, once for herself and once as a surrogate for her brother, Igor. 12:17am BBT Comparing her brother Igor to Michael is a compliment, Indy explains. She compares her BFs to her brother. She had to leave a VM for her brother before coming on BB because there wasn't enough time for a call. 12:19am BBT She asked her brother to protect her parents in case she ends up being hated online. Then BB took her cell phone away. Indy says there aren't many Brazlians like her in LA. She came here to change her life and is always trying to learn and improve. 12:21pm BBT Indy doesn't like hanging around unmotivated people - you become like those you hang out with. She doesn't want to get stuck in the same place. 12:50am BBT Alyssa tells Turner her back is hurting again. In HoH, Joe/Taylor watch her walking gingerly. Taylor teases Joe that he acts differently with Indy. They are just friends, Joe insists. Turner joins them in HoH with a bowl of cereal. 1:20am BBT More HG gather in HoH. Kyle asks if anyone is excited about Jasmine's Bday tomorrow. Taylor jokes she's going to lock herself in HoH. Brittany says even Indy told Jasmine she was doing too much. 1:22am BBT Downstairs, Terrance shows Jasmine all his tattoos. She wants the BB24 tattoo. The HG in HoH are watching Terrance on the spy cam. Talk turns to thevotes Indy thinks she has. Michael comes up to HoH. Downstairs, Indy heads to bed. 1:24am BBT Jasmine asks Terrance/Monte to take the Chinese Checkers board off her bed. Terrance picks it up. She tells them that Taylor/Joe went to bed. Turner probably won't sleep because he slept all day - he's like a bat. 1:26am BBT Indy tells Alyssa GN. Alyssa says they have 2 long days ahead, and one is Jasmine's Bday. Indy/Alyssa whisper without their mic's, and eventually Indy blows Alyssa a kiss, saying sweet dreams and feel better. She reads silently from her bible. 9:50am BBT MOnte is up in the KT. Terrance goes to the gym then talks to Taylor on the LR counch about his tattoos; Joe is not around. Terrance returns to the Cars BR. The lights are still off in the BRs. Jasmine walks through the KT. Monte says he was called to DR.
