Best Buds Big Brother Blab

Kelly and I basically talk about 3 out the four people that are gone and probably will be gone by end of week 10! Happy for the Cookout, but sad for some of my favorite members of the group!!! Hopefully a miracle will enter into the BB23 House!

Sarah Beth’s eviction was pretty inevitable this week. The Cookout members are already thinking about which of their alliance-mates should get ousted first so they can reach Final Six. Will it be Claire? Will it be Alyssa!? Still hard to tell, and there is a double on the way!!

Head of Household Sarah Beth had been targeting Derek X all week. It was a looming feeling for us as viewers, but I think we all still had hope. The Cookout members didn't actually want to keep Derek X around... but a flip wasn't out of the realm of possibilities. Still a good week to watch, even if it is sad.

We come back following Christian's eviction, which gave us the first true Big Brother 23 backdoor of the season. So the Cookout makes one step closer towards total victory, but after Kyland snagged Head of Household in a head-to-head knockout comp, he upsets some of his own alliance, which once again makes the group put their personal differences aside for the sake of the cause. 

Derek X has outgoing HOH Christian, in his sights! Perhaps as a backdoor for he’d be too powerful a foe in the Power of Veto competition. Britini and Sarah Beth may be pawns now... but will one of them become a target!? Listen to Kelly and Richard react to the week at hand on BB23!

We start the week with a lot of the house upset as they hoped to target someone from Christian’s team this week. Now Christian, Alyssa, Xavier, and Sarah Beth are all automatically safe. Christian will no doubt be a target next week unless someone from his team wins HOH. He already has three competition wins under his belt and is involved in a not-so-secret showmance. Kelly and Richard react to it all and will be covering week 5 soon!

Guest Host Kelly Tolley and I Talk about Brent's final days in BB23! I can't say it better that Entertainment Weekly, "Usually, straightforward weeks of Big Brother are boring. The show usually has to edit the footage in a way to create more intrigue than there actually is, trying to keep us engaged when we, and everyone in the house, already know who's going home. There's usually a lack of drama. This week is different. This week, egotistical Brent is so confident in his game that he thinks there's no way he's going home. Not only is he not worried, but he also keeps telling people that this vote will be 'the biggest blindside of all time.' Little does he know he's the one about to be blindsided, not the HOH Xavier."

Ricard and I dive into Kyland's HOH week! It has been pretty straightforward since he had a plan since the beginning, so there's been no reason to deviate from it. This week is definately Frenchie vs. the rest of the house (and the at home viewers). Frenchie as the former HOH, had a gameplay that was too erratic and intense. Good gameplay is still yet to come! Let us know what you think!

What can we say more than this quote from OnlineBigBrother.com: "A solid start to a season. On one hand, Frenchie is insufferable on so many levels on the other hand he gave us plenty of crazy to have fun with. What would this week be like if Frenchie wasn’t HOH? I’ll put it this way Frenchie stayed up until 5 am every night and talked so much he lost his voice for 3 days. He had 5 different targets and made half a dozen alliances hence the nickname for the week: Frenchie the glue clown." That is precisely what this full first week was all about! Enjoy! 

Big Brother is Back Baby! The season premiered on July 7, 2021, with a live move-in aired on CBS in the US and on Global in Canada! To reset the logistics: this show chronicles a group of contestants (known as HouseGuests) living together while being constantly filmed and having no communication with the outside world as they compete to be the last HouseGuest remaining. Each week, the HouseGuests compete in challenges for power and safety before voting each other out of the house. When only two HouseGuests remain, a Jury of previously evicted Houseguests will decide which finalist will win the grand prize of $750,000 (an increase of $250,000 from past editions of the show). Other fun new twists include the Team Twist which has 4 teams competing against each other for safety!!! Ricard and I break it all down while Shannon and Anna message in their "hot" takes!!!
