The receipts behind BB23.

Sarah Beth says all the times Xavier had influence - she remembers when Xavier won HOH he wanted Brent out, and his argument for keeping Hannah was that easiest solution was taking Whitney out. Sarah Beth says Xavier is trying to play a lowkey game and she doesn't see why Xavier would change that next week and he would put up whichever one of them remains. Ky says he doesn't think Xavier will win HOH next week on purpose because he's good with too many people. Sarah Beth asks if he wouldn't put Big D up on the block as a pawn and Ky says no.

Sarah Beth says Ky's 4 person alliance doesn't make sense to her. Sarah Beth says there's no way this alliance could have started first week. Ky asks why. Sarah Beth says Azah wouldn't have been able to be so emotional about her alliance members being voted out if she was working with a bigger alliance.

Sarah Beth says she can't rely on comp wins and doesn't want to play a game relying on that. She says someone could say let's not make anyone mad and get her out. She says she could also see someone deciding they could pick her off later and her longevity in the game would be better that way. Sarah Beth says not winning the next HOH is her best option because even if it gains her one week of safety it would increase her target. She says she didn't came to play the game week by week and wants to take a risk and slide by.

Sarah Beth says she feels bad about how this week went and feels bad about Alyssa thinking its personal. Alyssa says she didn't think it was personal and just wasn't sure. Alyssa says she was 99% sure its game and just wanted to have a good relationship with everyone after the game. Alyssa says especially because you live so close to me. Feeds cut.

(TV) Backyard set up like a high school. HG's have pull out different yearbook photos from the cabinet. Using clues on the photos, they have to figure out which order they go in from this season. Buzzer to lock in time, wrong answer will keep the clock running until they get the order right.

Claire says it would have been fun if they could have gambled with the BB Bucks. Derek X says it would be a good twist if they could give the BB bucks to someone else but it loses half of its value. Ky suggests the transfer be public but Derek X says he doesn't like that. Derek X says as a viewer he would want people to be paranoid about the coup d'etat being used at any time.

(TV) Veto derby is one of the games. Game is played with BB$50. Slide the item game similar to the beer mug slider HOH game last season. Board has 5 landing zones and players will slide the ice bucket as far down as possible. If HG does well in Veto Derby they will be able to bet on one of the players in the next veto comp. If that HG wins, then the person who bet on them will also win a 2nd veto.

(TV) Veto Derby -- HG's will hit a button to start a clock. They will then have 3 mint julip drinks that they slide down the bar to marked zones (1 through 5) to score the most points and will lock in their time with another button push. Drinks that fall off the end score 0. SB scores 1, then hits the first one with her 2nd shot and it bounces off the board, and gets 2 on her final push. 4 total with a button push.

Derek X tells Alyssa going into his week there was a lot of pressure to put up a King. He says he was never going to put up Alyssa or Xavier and decided to put up a King who wasn't a target. He says things started heating up when Britini won veto and he heard things being said. He then had to consider if the move was the best for him and it was fear that drove him to take the shot before Christian took it.

Big D says Claire wanted to take the roach and put it away somewhere. He says she was also scared of it at the same time. Big D says Tiffany and Claire blocked him and then Hannah tried to go for the roach with Big D's left shoe and then they tackled her. Big D then went after the roach with his right shoe.

Tiffany talks to the cameras and says it seems like if any of the members of the Cookout wins they are going to put her on the block. She says she doesn't want to go up on the block so she has to win this HOH. She says it would be as a pawn but she doesn't want to be a pawn.

(TV) Ky & Xavier talking in the HOH about trying to convince DX that he doesn't need to worry about the next HOH and they have his best interests. DX up to the HOH and they repeat their thoughts to him. DX says he's thinking like them and comments in his DR that they need to keep each other to keep the strong guys in the house. At the tail end, DX talks about tossing the HOH to Xavier. Xavier in his DR says that if DX throws him the HOH it will seal his fate.

(TV) HOH comp starting -- comp is called "Dash to Dinner". HG's will go 1-by-1 through the yard set up with a maze of balance beams that they have to navigate, with some beams wider than others. HG's have 45 seconds to complete the course. Fastest person to make it through the course will become the new HOH. HG's not playing will stand behind a shrub wall so they cannot see the prior persons path.

SB says that Tiffany & Claire were part of the Jackpots, but they haven't really done anything. She thinks if she shows them trust and includes them in her HOH, it builds trust down the road. Kyland says that last week Tiffany & Hannah warned him that just before the vote (1 hour) Derek X and Claire were campaigning ts save Britini.

Sarah Beth says she'll explain Azah and Big together because they were similar. Sarah Beth says they both were fine with the power being used and said they didn't have enough money to play. She says she talked about Britini things as well. Sarah Beth says they were short because they didn't have a lot to say.

Tiff and DX looking at the HOH cam for the kitchen. SB and Ky are hugging for what Tiff claims to be the longest hug she's ever seen in her life. They start laughing, Tiff says its been 5 min and they are still there hugging. Tiff goes into detail about SB Lying about her girlfriend and that she thinks her girlfriend is actually Ky. DX says Ky did not have any oppositions to having her on the block. Tiff pushes the fact that Ky and SB came into this game together.

(TV) Tiffany departs and Hannah moves in front of DX and asks him outright what the Royal Flush is. DX says it's the Kings, Queens and himself. DX deflects saying that the Royal Flush is not a real thing and was done as of this week. She tells Dx that now it makes sense why DX did not see the block.

Britini says humour, heart . Sarah Beth says she likes how down to earth Alyssa is and her humour. Sarah Beth takes time to think of her third thing so Alyssa goes to Ky. Ky says 1) everything about her. Britini reminds him that it was specific things. Alyssa says Ky is a really good masseuse and talks about her bruises from the veto comp. She says that's what happens she loses 3 vetos.

Sarah Beth says she hasn't got a birthday cake. Azah asks if its really her birthday. Sarah Beth confirms August 9th is her birthday. She says its been a topic of discussion around the house about being nominated on her birthday. Sarah Beth says she's fine not getting a cake because she got a $5000 gift for her birthday. They talk about how Derek X was about to say he's going to take the $5000 but production cut him off and made him stand in the right spot to do the line again. Sarah Beth says she took that opportunity to ask her to please don't.

Derek X talks to the cameras and says Ky said he doesn't want to bring a girl to the end and wants to go to the end with him. He says Ky said he was just playing up his relationship with Sarah Beth so he doesn't end up with Derek X on the block. Derek X says he needs to protect Ky and he's third on his list behind Hannah and Tiffany.

Ditto for Coral BR where he props the door open so he can see. Ditto for HOH with lights on. Ky props HN door open & makes his rounds. Ky: "Love you guys. Good night. ... Your will has been done King. Your people have been served. Thanks to your graciousness." Ky downstairs to KT, puts sandwiches on plate, & puts plate in refrigerator.

Azah & Brit to BA surprising Ky. Brit to WC, hugs Ky, Azah & Ky hug. Brit wash hands. Ky to Coral BR & to bed at 6:17 AM. Azah & Brit discuss what they are going to say to Christian about how they are voting.

(TV) DX tells SB that the Jokers said they would lose him if he put two of them up. SB questions him about if she goes down he's going to put another Joker up. DX tells her it's not his plan. SB says that she is going to pick Christian if she gets HG choice chip. DX tells her that he cannot play in the veto and that he has to take the shot at Christian on his HOH. SB says she understands and she's not against it.

Veto comp starting. Backyard is set up like an 80's gym. HG's will be required to do as many reps on their gym equipment in the allotted time. The person with the least amount of reps at the end of each round will be eliminated. A prize (or punishment) is given after each round -- veto first, followed by other items as the rounds progress. Players can trade up for the veto or any other prize if they want after each round from a prior round winner.

(TV) SB back to a 1-on-1 with Tiffany to talk to her about a conversation she had with Alyssa where she saw Tiffany upset when DX didn't hit the buzzer in time to beat SB for HOH. Tiffany in her DR said that SB ran Alyssa over so hard with the bus that ALyssa is now in the ICU. Tiffany heads downstairs to the bathroom where Claire & Hannah are and tells them that SB has her second guessing herself now and that she ran Alyssa over hard.

(TV) Coin of Destiny starting. Tiffany confirms that those eligible to play in the Coin of Destiny will be able to lead the current HOH into a coin flip for power. If the winner of the game wins the coin toss, Tiffany will be dethroned and the new HOH will act in secrecy. She confirms that if she is dethroned, SB & Kyland can be removed from the chopping block. Xavier cannot be removed from the block if she is dethroned due to his acceptance of a punishment in the veto comp last week. Tiffany also confirms that if she is dethroned, she will be safe for the week.

(TV) Up in the HOH, Hannah,Tiffany & Claire entering talking about America likely giving SB enough money to play. Claire said that she wants to play so that no one messes with Tiffany's HOH. Tiffany reminds her that if she wins, she cannot play in the HOH next week. Claire says "That's fine".

Hannah asks Sarah Beth what she would do if she was to win HOH. Sarah Beth says she isn't sure what Ky would do but for her a big part of her decision was seeing she could work with Tiffany and Claire and didn't want Claire to go home. Sarah Beth says she was reluctant to put Tiffany on the block alongside Claire because she gets along with them and sees them as good players. Sarah Beth says they are people she would want to get close with if Ky leaves. Hannah repeats she hasn't made up her mind and says this week its weird because she could default to an anonymous HOH and not have blood on her hands.

Hannah asks Sarah Beth if she has a preference on who the veto should be used on between her and Ky. Sarah Beth says from what she's hearing Ky seems to be more in danger and the best way to keep both of them would be to take him down. Sarah Beth says it might be better for her game if he was to go home now because they are going to continue to be targets and she has to think for her. Sarah Beth says Ky could go home and it could end up being the best move for her or she could just go home the next week. Sarah Beth says if the three of them stay up that would create more tension between her and X.

Sarah Beth says it sucks that they don't have more time. She says if they could convince Hannah that Tiffany and Claire are going to work with Alyssa and Xavier and not Hannah - they could get one of them down and have 2 votes and just need 1 vote to pick who you want to go home.

Ky tells Sarah Beth to say something that makes sense before America writes her off. She says she doesn't necessarily dislike him. Ky asks if its game or personal. Sarah Beth says she didn't think she could vibe with him from the first time they met. She says (Continues..)

Ky gets lost in thought again. He returns - he appreciates Sarah Beth locking it back at F3. He says he doesn't want to get greedy and ask for. He says he's thinking of each other as partners but he wants to be considerate of her just being off the block and getting called out. He says his experience in his head is different.

Sarah Beth says after the veto meeting she talked to Tiffany and Claire (a little Jackpot meeting) and they both kind of wanted Big D to go but wanted to know what Ky wanted. She says she said Ky wants Britini out and it would be better for them to get rid of Britini and keep Ky on their side.
