Big Brother USA 2021 - Episode 17 - HoH, High Rollers and Nominations

Another fresh week condensed into 3 episodes

Christian fell at the last hurdle before jury, and was evicted by a vote of 7-2, and the Cookout alliance began the road to destruction. Those cracks looking like becoming so much wider, but fair do's to them they have actually made it to the jury stage intact, which was part one of the plan. So many divided opinions on this particular alliance though.....

Tonight sees a new twist hit the house in the form of a new room called High Rollers

"To try and explain it simply, in the room there will be 3 BB casino games and 3 game changing powers as in Remove from Block, 2nd Veto and Flip Power to Your Favour).

Top 3 vote getters will get $100, next 3 $75, and the remaining get $50. The money is used to play, and the money can be banked and used within the next 3 weeks ie the duration of this new twist.

Think that's accurate, hopefully it will become clearer over time."

Tonight sees the start of the road to see who will be first member to jury as a new HoH is crowned, and they make their pre-Veto nominations

HoH comp

Straight down to business, and the name of the comp is Name that Croon and it's a knockout comp

Derek X not eligible to compete as outgoing HoH

2 houseguests at a time will have a song played to them regarding a comp, winner of the heat chooses the next two and so on and so forth, until there are only 2 left and the last houseguest standing will be the new HoH.

Order of play

Claire v Britini - Britini
SB and Kyland - Kyland
Britini v Azah - Azah
Kyland v Alyssa - Kyland
Azah v Derek F - Azah
Tiff v Hannah - Tiff
Azah v Kyland - Kyland
Xavier v Tiff - Tiff
Tiff v Kyland - Kyland

Your winner and new HoH is KYLAND

Have to say, Cookout does need shaking up, they do seem to be cruising through even though the cracks are there for all to see.

Apparently these meetings Kyland is currently engaging in on the episode lasted hours on the feeds, he didn't get to bed until at least 5am local time if I remember correctly. Azah being particularly demanding in her meeting, she's got bitter juror written all over her when she eventually goes. Will be very surprised if she makes it to final 3.

Claire, very elusive I may add, says she doesn't know who Kyland's targets will be this week. Derek F then agrees to be a pawn, well he barely does anything else if the feeds are anything to go by.

Nominations ceremony

Kyland nominates Claire and Derek F

Kyland explains previous actions in the HoH comp, causing him to re-evaluate his position

Tiff says losing Claire would not be good for her game....

High Rollers

Roll up, roll up. High Rollers officially opens its door

Top 3 vote getters and gaining $100, will be Britini, Derek X and  Derek F

$75 goes to Hannah, Xavier, Tiff, 

$50 for Sarah Beth, Azah, Alyssa, Kyland and Claire

Prizes are:

Second Veto
Remove a Nominee from the block, and spin the wheel to determine the replacement
Flip A Coin, call the flip correctly and the HoH can be overthrown

A power can only be used once and in the week it was won, the only game they could play is Second Veto as $100 is the only amount available. Houseguests can also save their money for one of the other powers, and it is also mentioned that there will be other opportunities to win money to bump up their amounts.

Sarah Beth decides to spend her $50. Basically she has to slide 3 mint julips down a 1-5 counter and her score will be the total number of where the julips ends up, and she scored 4 points in total.

Same challenge for Kyland, who scores 9 points, Derek F scores 5 points, Claire scores 4 and Tiff doesn't get on the board

And there we have it for another episode, with another Veto up for grabs in Episode 18, and also bets will be placed on the Veto players as per the rules of this twist. Yes I know it's complicated but let's just bear with it, and hopefully it will be explained a little more in the next episode


Until next time, stay safe, stay frosty and keep on rocking....
