Well, with Tiffany as the new HOH, her lifelong dream to evict Sarah Beth can finally be realized. While this will be a shock to Sarah Beth, for the rest of us who have been hearing Tiffany ranting about SB since Christmas (well, Christmas in July anyway) it's the expected outcome. Kyland will be on the block alongside her and Xavier will force BB to buy a third nominee chair due to his taking the third nominee punishment in the last POV comp.

Tiffany held her one on ones with everyone, though Kyland thought the forty-plus minutes he spent babbling semi-coherently in his Kylandese dialect didn't count and he wanted an extra session. Tiffany muttered something like "Over my dead body" and then closed and locked the HOH door before Kyland could get back in.

So, barring a wildly unexpected outcome, like Sarah Beth winning the POV, you can pretty much put a bow on this week already. SB will be going to the jury by a unanimous vote. The players possibly eligible to lay in the High Rollers Room (Claire, Azah, Hannah, and Derek F (hereto after referred to as just Derek) all don't mind SB going so why flip the vote?

If this was a sane cast playing to win and not playing for a cause, and they saw Xavier and Kyland on the block at this stage of the game, one of them would be going bye-bye. They're big threats to win the game while SB is not a threat to anyone but herself. She has managed to go from a top-three favorite to near the bottom in popularity on most polls. That's quite an achievement.

The only person happy to see Derek X get the boot was the poor fool who was overseeing Britini in the jury. Having been the sole victim of her endless raps and interpretive dance for the last week (it seems longer) that poor soul will now have some relief as she "entertains" Derek X with her new routines.

So, we have the nominations today (Kyland and SB with SB the very, very clear target.) Then the High Rollers Room will be unlocked. Fierce competition will take place for the prize, only to see it not be used. How would you flip the nominations this week? Takedown SB and put up Hannah? Azah? Derek (formerly known as Derek F)? Claire? Alyssa? If SB is on the block she's going home, well, to the jury anyway. Who's going to take her down? 

I'll post back later once the expected stuff takes place with the results. Expect the noms to be SB and Kyland, with Xavier holding down the third spot. Unless SB wins the POV, she's a goner. A boring week ahead, but that's okay. Who needs excitement?

I hate that Tiffany won HOH.  She's nauseatingly officious and I would have preferred to see someone like Xavier win or Kyland.  However, I feel this may become the beginning of her end.  She's too mouthy to last on the show and her attitude is ridiculous. 

Xavier is the thinker left among the crew along with Claire.  The others seem a bit shallow and easily influenced by manipulators, like Tiffany.  I see Hannah as someone who is riding the coattails of others since the inception of the game.  They keep relating how "smart" she is, but she hasn't made any relevant game moves that prove so.  I was going for Azah for a while, but she doesn't seem to think for herself, so I'm not sure my confidence is in her.

I've been jumping between Derek X and Xavier, but since Derek X is gone now, I'm running with Xavier to win the game if Tiffany doesn't manipulate the gals to remove him.  I think Tiffany manipulates a lot, but I don't think she is smart enough to win the game with that attitude.  I have a feeling she will irritate enough people who don't want to walk on eggshells around her and be removed.

Also, with Tiffany as HOH, I'm betting it will be ANYTHING but a boring week.  I think she's going to push her agenda and show more attitude until people have had enough of her and she's the next nominee for the following week.  I may be wrong, but I think that over-the-top arrogance she has without the gray matter to back it up, may create some arguments within the house.

I wish she was gone too @Lovalita  Honestly I am board with the whole thing, it almost seems scripted. I didn't even watch last night so I'm depending on @gardenman to keep me updated. Thank you.  I like drama, good vs bad and some fun people which I'm not getting from this group.  Derek was my 1st choice choice but with him gone I don't care much.  I do believe Xavier can win.

If the Cookout stays intact, Tiffany will be the first one of the six out. She has too many enemies among the Cookout to survive if she stays in it. She's not a good enough competitor against the rest and she'll get the boot. She's not good with Azah, Derek, Kyland, or Xavier. Hannah is with her, but Hannah is an assassin who will go wherever the momentum is going.

If I were a BB adviser and advising Tiffany on her next move, I'd have her keeping SB, putting Derek up opposite Xavier and Kyland. Put all three boys on the block so you're guaranteed one goes. Try as much as possible to lock in Hannah and Claire as allies. Alyssa would vote to keep Xavier. SB would vote to keep Kyland. Azah would vote to keep Derek. Tiffany could then remove Kyland and only have one active enemy in the house in SB. Sarah Beth is arguably the best enemy to have as she's not as likely to win HOH next week. SB is also conducive to flipping on her allies to stay in the game as we saw with her being okay with Christian getting the boot. She has to know she can't beat Kyland in the end, so might as well get rid of him now.

Xavier put himself on the block and Tiffany could have had him evicted (assuming she controls the votes of Claire and Hannah) but saved him to remove Kyland. That could buy her safety with Alyssa and Xavier for a week. Derek wouldn't be happy but realistically, what are his chances of him or Azah ever winning any kind of power?

Tiffany could ask for safety from everyone but Kyland and with her controlling Claire and Hannah, she'd be able to ensure her target went home and she kept safe the people she promised to keep safe. She'd be moving against the Cookout, but they're not planning to take her along for the ride. And if a Cookout member comes after her now, they'd be weakening the group and could be spun as the bad guy/gal.

Giving Kyland the boot doesn't shatter the Cookout and the hope of a black winner remains with Xavier (who's frankly the likeliest to win,) Hannah, Tiffany, Derek, and Azah, all still in the game. It might buy Tiffany some extra time in the game though. If she could ally with Claire and Hannah more solidly, maybe add SB as a fourth she might be the best of those four and those four could pretty much control the rest of the game. Would the Cookout want to lose her if they lost Kyland this week? Going from a 6-3 edge to a 4-3 edge isn't ideal for an alliance so they'd be likely to keep Tiffany around for a bit longer and flush a non-Cookout member to make the game 5-2 in favor of the Cookout.

It would be a bold move to make to target Kyland. Tiiffany is a bit SB blind these days and is so focused on getting rid of SB that I'm not sure she'd even consider an alternative. But, flushing Kyland now, could put her in a better spot and at least guarantee her a likely top-five spot instead of top-six. It's not like the Cookout loves her now. She might as well take the first shot at them before they get to take a shot at her. And Kyland is only half-black, so there's an argument to be made that his winning wouldn't be that different from Josh winning. The Cookout wants  a black winner not a half-black winner. That's why Hannah wasn't included initially.

To no one's surprise, Sarah Beth and Kyland are Tiffany's nominations. The High Roller Room is going on now.

Cue the music ~

 

You've got a fan in me

You've got a fan in me

When the road gets rough ahead

And you're miles and miles from your nice warm bed

Just remember what your BB fan said

Tiff, you've got a fan in me

Congrats to the new hoh! Whether she goes home today, tomorrow, or five weeks from now I will forever be a fan of her and her game.

Tiffany may not be my favorite person, but I give her credit as a player. She's focused, with her eye on the prize, and isn't afraid to try and influence others.

And the feeds finally came back and it looks like Claire overthrew Tiffany, but kept the noms the same. Interesting.

[tucka]

I too am a fan of Tiffanys, she is the only one who has been trying to play and win this game,the others are lazy spoiled children,I do like Clair also,I have a bad feeling that Derick is going to slide on out and be the winner,and he has done nothing ,why would anyone give him money ,this has not been a very good year for B.B,one of the worst.Tucka.
