7:05AM BBT

WBRB Fishies are on the screen.

Today we will have the Power of Veto Competition. The feeds will go down this morning for player picks then again later today for the competition.

Playing in Power of Veto today: Quinn, Angela, Kimo, Rubina, ?, ?

[I'll update the other two players as soon as I am able to confirm who will play. Quinn has already promised Leah the hosting job if she is not selected as a player. -ML]

7:16AM BBT

The feeds return to the HGs getting ready for the day.

7:25AM BBT

In the kitchen, ANgela tells Kimo that the tops of her legs got a workout in the HoH competition.

Kimo: You did a lot of squatting

Angela: My fingers, too

Kimo: All that dexterity! (moving eggs through the path)

7:37AM BBT

In the loft, Kimo asks Rubina how she is doing.

Rubina: Better, emotionally, at least.

MamaLong · August 31

7:39AM BBT

Rubina, Kimo and T'kor sit in silence and stare at the fish tank for a long time. Rubina lets out a deep breath. They are clearly missing Tucker.

Cam joins them in the loft, and they all notice there is a fish struggling for survival.

T'kor (talking to the fish): You don't have to leave him alone. You could take shifts!

They notice there is a dead fish on the bottom floating upside down.

7:53AM BBT

Joseph is in the shower when Angela walks into the bathroom. He waves her over and whispers that he lied to Quinn that Angela is his target, but in reality, he is trying to save her.

Angela: Okay

Up in the loft...

Kimo: This place feels like...

Rubina: KaKa

Kimo: BORING

They start laughing/crying

Rubina: I hope I get my spark back

Kimo: You will

T'kor says she is so grateful she met them in the BB26 House, "Now, we got a veto competition coming up today, and even though we h ave been told y'all are not the target, we have got to give this the best we can. Ya'll earned your place here. You deserve to be here. Have faith in yourself. Have everything it takes to be successful. I am rooting for you. America is rooting for you. And, remember, always have fun."

Rubina: Mm Hmm

T'kor: Kimo, I know you are on slop and sleeping on a box...

Rubina: That's not helping!

They laugh!

T'kor: It's nothing you haven't done before...you still got a little somethin' somethin'. Just keep your foot on the pedal. That's all! You know! And...

*This conversation is interrupted by all feeds moving to MJ in the bathroom doing nothing.

Back to the loft...

T'kor: You know you got each other's backs. And do your best!

Rubina: Sorry we are both up here!

*awkward silence

Kimo: Wait! Did this end abruptly?

They laugh, loudly

Rubina: There is no closing statement.

The laugh, truly having fun with the situation.

Kimo begins singing in Pitch Perfect warm-up style, a capella

Rubina adds her voice then T'kor

Kimo: Why is it so pretty?

Meanwhile, in the LR, Joseph and Chelsie are reviewing the messages from AI Instigator (AKA, Tucker) expecting they could be a part of the veto competition.

[Okay, y'all. I have watched all of Tucker's exit interviews. He admits that he added misleading AI messages to make them think there is a memory comp coming up, and he thinks it is hilarious the HGs are memorizing the details, falling for the play. Now, wouldn't it be funny if BB actually takes those messages and includes them in a comp somehow? I am here for it! -ML]

8:08AM BBT

Makensy has fallen asleep on the LR couch.

MamaLong · August 31

8:25AM BBT

We have RCHS on the feeds for veto player picks.

8:50AM BBT

The feeds have returned

T'kor: Only three of us will be spectators.

In the backyard, Leah tells Kimo, "I had a feeling I'd be picked"

Kimo: Me too, actually.

MamaLong · August 31

Playing in Power of Veto today: Quinn, Angela, Kimo, Rubina, Joseph and Leah

8:57AM BBT

In the kitchen, MJ tells Joseph, "You're gonna do great, Joseph. 6th time's the charm"

Joseph: Yeah

Kimo is in the backyard with Leah joking that when Leah, "The athlete of the season" got picked, he knew it was going to be a great veto.

9:00AM BBT

Up in the loft, Quinn is telling Joseph that they have to get Angela out of the house, "It opens up second place. She'll forgive me."

Makensy is thrilled that the kitchen restock finally includes pork sausage.

Angela: If they do it once, they can do it again.

Quinn finds chorizo.

In the kitchen, Quinn comments to Angela, "Picking Joseph is the funniest option."

Angela: I figured, just go with it

9:05AM BBT

In the loft, Joseph tells Rubina that he was much more loyal to the Collective than they were to him. "I just hope you can forgive me."

Rubina says there is nothing to forgive.

Joe: I wasn't trying to hide it. I would have told you.

[It doesn't sound like there is a competition host, as the HGs are expecting an individual competition. I'm hoping it's BB Comics. -ML]

9:08AM BBT

In the kitchen Quinn tells MJ that if it's a mental comp, he feels confident.

MJ: You are very cerebral.

Makensy is describing the AI Arena competition in detail to Quinn.

Back in the loft, Joseph is telling Rubina he was pretty sure he was Tucker's number two, "But ultimately, he would have chosen you over me." Joe tells Rubina that Tucker was pretty crazy for her.

[Tucker said otherwise in some exit interviews. -ML]

Rubina tells Joseph that she would have understood if Tucker picked Joe over her.

9:12AM BBT

Makensy tells Angela, Quinn and Kimo in the backyard that she hopes she goes in there and they tell her she can host. Quinn says, jokingly, they will say, 'No, you stay up there four hours'

9:18AM BBT

In the bathroom, T'kor is showering while Chelsie does her hair. T'kor asks Chelsie if she thinks the Deep Fake powers are over. Chelsie says she thinks America will vote another upgrade and suggests it will be given to "based on who got the last one" Rubina.

Chelsie: I think they are trying to get America more involved this season. I think it's smart to do that. It's cool to do that.

T'kor asks, If you had the ability to give an upgrade, who would she have given a power to

Chelsie: Probably, Matt

T'kor: Is that who you wanted to win?

Chelsie: No, I wanted Jag to win...I liked both of them. I was glad to see them ride for each other in the end. That was beautiful

T'kor: Yeah

Chelsie: Loyal from the jump and stuck to it

T'kor: I really liked season 25. I don't understand why people say it was boring.

Chelsie: Because people like drama. I don't know if you would tell me, but if it was a tie with Makensy and Tucker, would you have kept him?

T'kor: It's hard to say for sure, but I do think I would have done whatever I felt was strategically better for my game.

Chelsie: Gotcha!

T'kor says she is glad she didn't have to make that decision. Chelsie tells her if it came down to Makensy and Angela, she for sure would have had to break a tie.

T'kor: Oh, really? Wow!

Chelsie: I'm glad you didn't have to.

T'kor: Mm Hmm! My thing was stressful enough.

Chelsie says Cedric's HoH was the most stressful. They both agree he handled it well.

MamaLong · August 31

9:26AM BBT

BB: T'kor, please put on your microphone.

Chelsie: Ooooh! It wasn't me.

Chelsie says that she is trying to get better at that, "But Kimo is the worst and they do be letting him get away with it" (signing)

BB: Chelsie, please reattach your microphone

Chelsie: Sorry!

They discuss Tucker's "you owe me" attitude in the game.

Chelsie: How are Kimo and Rubina feeling.

T'Kor indicates they are doing their best.

Chelsie: Good thing they are not the target. How are you feeling?

T'kor: I do feel for them. I feel it was the smartest move to make, but you know. I am just continuing to adjust.

Chelsie says Kimo and Rubina have a great chance to win veto, and she thinks that Joseph would probably be the replacement nomination if someone gets pulled down.

9:42AM BBT

T'kor: Who do you think the masterminds are?

Chelsie: Quinn and Joseph

T'kor: Mm Hmm

9:49AM BBT

BB: Joseph, please go to the diary room upstairs

Joseph: I'm going to the restroom first

Quinn: Good luck in there

In the Unicorn Bedroom, Angela tells Leah she expects the competition to be "within the hour"

Angela tells Leah that she would have picked her, but she wanted to be funny (by picking Joe)

Leah: Oh, I know and it was. I'm glad I got picked.

Angela hopes Joseph would use it to pull her off the block

Leah: I think he would [I don't -ML]

Leah tells Angela she doesn't think she should be avoiding Quinn. Angela knows that Quinn was clear about Rubina and Kimo not being the target.

Leah: I did not think that's how it was going to go. I just don't think you are the target this week. He may very well have done that to redirect and have an alternate plan. He is very strategic about everything. I had no idea.

Angela: I believe you

Leah: I was shooketh. Very shook.

MamaLong · August 31

9:57AM BBT

Quinn walks in to the Unicorn Bedroom and tells them it's going to be fun, "We are getting costumes."

Leah: Did they tell you?

Quinn: We are manifesting it. I have lost four times in this jersey. Don't do that to me. We ARE gonna get cool costumes. We are gonna look great. It's gonna be fun. Clear minds! Let's do it!

10:04AM BBT

T'kor: I am going to wear my crocheted earrings from my HoH basket.

Chelsie says they are great.

T'kor: Such a nice personal touch. Thank you to whoever made these for me!

T'kor heads int ot he kitchen where Rubina is doing her makeup.

Rubina: Oh! You are wearing your earrings.

T'kor: I knooooowwwww

Rubina: They are beautiful

T'kor tells her she is about to kill it (the veto)

Rubina says the experience in the BB House has been so great and pushed her to grow, "My joy can't be stopped. It comes from within. No one could ever take it away. It is something I love so much about myself. I feel in this game, it's easy to be, I feel, in regular life I know I am unstoppable, but in here there are things that make you feel less than sometimes, but typically, I am a force to be reckoned with. Obviously we all have weaknesses, but damn! We all have strengths."

T'kor: That's beautiful

Rubina: It can easily be misconstrued as toxic positivity, but it's me just knowing. Nothing can bring me down;

Rubina: I am also just a drama free person....non-scheemy, drama free. I don't know if that's good in here, but I didn't come here to be someone I am not.

T'kor: That's so true!
