Nomination Ceremony Spoilers (8/2/2024)

[Brian Smith]

The feeds switched over to the animals at 2:55PM PT for the Nomination
Ceremony. Looks like the noms are likely to be Kenney, Tucker, and
Angela. Kenney and Tucker volunteered to go on the block and Angela
expects to be put up. They need to kill this twist ASAP because it's
ruining the season.

Feeds came back at 3:59PM PT. The noms are Kenney, Tucker, and Angela,
just as expected.

I assume you mean the 3 noms? I think the excuse for an additional
contest, especially a live one, is a good idea. It's BB - why not
stress out the HOH even more for a 3rd nom?

Though the hoped-for last-minute campaigning after the AI competition
has been a bust both times so far, it would certainly be a twist if
the intended target saved themselves at the last moment, throwing
votes into disarray.

Watching Makensy tell Cedric not to nom her because of her power made
me wonder - why hasn't anybody ever just _claimed_ to have a power
that they didn't actually have? If few enough people did it, and only
"revealed it" to the first few HOH's if they were in danger, they
might get away with it. Unless BB calls BS on them, or Julie
announces who has it when the powers expire - then that would put the
liars in harm's way.

100% it's being done to have a live comp on eviction nights. The problem
with this twist is that it's leading to safe game play because they have
no idea who will win A.I. Arena and who will remain on the block. If you
try to take out a big target and they win A.I.Arena then you're likely
to be targeted the following week.

It would be a lot better if the rest house was at the comp site so
campaigning could start immediately like it does in DEs.

That's against the rules. They even have a warning message for it:
"Houseguests, you are not allowed to use production as strategy." One
thing that is very weird about the current situation is that MJ has
twisted what her power can do when describing it to people. That is also
not allowed but for some reason they are not calling her on it.

Dunno but that happens on Survivor all the take with those fake
immunity idols.

Apologize to anybody I confused but that should have been "all the
time" not "on the take"

LOL!Jeff and company probably do accept bribes. As for BB, like I said,
you can't claim to have powers that don't exist or claim that an
advantage has powers that don't exist.

advantage has powers that don't exist.

What I meant was that Jeff has several times told the players either
that a particular 'hidden immunity idol' is genuine and tells the
players what the power of it is or alternately told them that the
'idol' is fake (usually throwing it into the camp fire).

As I say "on the take" was purely a typing error on my part, not
suggestion of actual bribery.
