And the last day of anything interesting happening in the house is upon us! Today, we'll see the epic battle between BB greats Azah and Derek as they try to figure out who will be the winner of part two of the final HOH comp! One of them has to win. I guess. Will Derek break his season-long winless streak. Will Azah add a second win to her slim resume? Will anyone care? (Nah! Probably not.)

Derek and Xavier finally got around to naming their alliance and settled on "The Creed." Then BB said, "Uh, no. You can't call yourselves that." Then a long session of name tossing ensued before they finally settled on "Black Ops." They expect this alliance to go down in BB history! Uh, no. (BB may end up killing the name "Black Ops" but they're letting them keep it for now. The videogame "Call of Duty Black Ops" may make that name unusable due to trademark issues. Then again BB may let them call themselves whatever and just not show it and tell them they can't mention it on TV.) 

Derek continues to believe he's the godfather of the house and he personally oversaw everything that went on and was the puppet master all season. Well, as much as it was possible to see anything from his bed in the corner of the back bedroom. 

Derek had given Kyland his ring from the Valley Forge Military Academy to hold but expected Kyland to return it after being voted out. Now he fears he'll never get it back and will have to order a replacement. I suspect Kyland will make a point of returning it at some point as he tries to rehabilitate his image after he gets out of the house. Kyland's image will need a lot of rehabilitating.

So, today we find out who will compete against Xavier in the final part of the HOH comp. Will Azah double her win total? Will Derek finally taste victory? We'll have to see. I'd prefer to see Azah win as it gives us the best chance of an Azah/Derek final two. Watching the jury trying to decide which of the two deserves the win when they've collectively done less than anyone in the jury would be funny.

I'll post back later today with the results when I know it. It could be pretty late though.

Don't understand why he would give Kyland that ring.  Do the houseguests pack their belongings on these votes in case they are evicted.  Why would Kyland pack up someone else's ring?  

Totally agreed Kyland needs to rehabilitate his image.  Seriously doubt that BB will invite hiim back after that shameful display.

We've had houseguests give something of theirs to another houseguest as a way to prove they can be trusted on a fairly routine basis. "I'm giving you this prized possession of mine so you know I won't vote you out." They're often sharpening the knife they'll stick in the player's back with one hand while handing them the trinket with the other.

If you go on BB it pays to load up with trinkets that mean nothing to you, but that you can develop a good story for, so should the need arise, you can deploy the trinket to gain someone's trust before you stab them in the back. Create a narrative for the item that sounds authentic and build on it as the season goes on.

Female houseguests will often do it with clothing. Alyssa was nervous about how Azah would vote and knew Azah was planning on wearing the dress we saw on Thursday at a future show. She'd asked Azah if she could wear that dress on her eviction night and Azah said yes, so Alyssa thought she had Azah's vote. (Alyssa went on to wear something else, but since Azah was willing to let her walk out with the dress Azah had been saving Alyssa thought she had her vote.)

It's all part of the game. If someone offers you something to prove how trustworthy and loyal they are, they're probably not trustworthy and loyal.

The CO has, or will, complete their mission. They will celebrate and be so very proud of themselves. Because of them, lessons will be learned so that future white BB players will never again trust black players, and if they want to win, will unite to vote out the players who are black. Unfortunately, women never seem to learn that most other women can't be trusted in an alliance and that, when it comes down to it, they are eliminated.

KY is faulted for being a poor sport by most, while I'm willing to give him a pass. I'm not willing to give Xavier a pass. To me, what he did was, in essence, taking candy from babies.

The cookout alliance ruined all future  BB seasons.

Next year there will be alliances consisting of  the

Black people  asian people  hispanic  and White 

people all grouping together to knock out each others

race.this years season ruined what was a really

good show with all  house quests playing for 

themselves not the race game.

[occasionalrain]

This season could have been an example of black and white people joining to form alliances without thought to race. Those who were white began that way, they trusted their black housemates, allied with them, only to be betrayed because they were white. They weren't racist, those who were black were. Some example, some ready justification for any white racists out there.

Oh Brother (no pun intended ) not this again. It's starting to make the "Jane trying on shoes without socks is gross" sound like music to the ears, lol. 

@gardenman if you're around I think part 2 started a few minutes ago.

What I found really skeevy was the CO members laying in bed with their designated pair getting all cozy but knowing that it was all a big ploy.  Hannah did that to Derek F and tho she cried later about voting him out; the whole idea of theirs seemed wicked and diabolical.  Tyland cozing up to SB is another example.  Tiffany's closeness with Claire working on her emotions making her believe they were besties. 

Was that how BB was always played????? 

Clarity please!  @gardenman 

correction: I mean Derek X....

Yeah, part two started about 45 minutes ago. It'll probably be a while. I'm pulling for Azah, but we'll see who wins.

[SusieQ_2]

Same, G'man. At this point, since it can't be Tiffany, I feel like X is the most deserving to win. However, even though X didn't have any alliance to Tiff once they reached F6, I'm still a little mad at him for keeping Big D and Azah over her (but I do understand why). 

Which gets to why I said same (finally). The guys have been so cocky about their games that it would be interesting to see them react to little ol' Azah winning the game. Either way Big D is going to F2. Go figure, lol.
