Big Brother 23 Day 65 - Claire and Alyssa are evicted; Kyland wins HoH
September 9, 2021
5:12 PM: By a vote of 4-1, Claire was evicted from the Big Brother house. Hannah cast the sole vote to evict Xavier.
5:26 PM: Hannah became the new HoH.
5:29 PM: Hannah let the members of the Cookout know that she would be nominating Alyssa and Xavier with Alyssa as the target, but she is going to tell Alyssa that Xavier is the target. Hannah then spoke to Alyssa to let her know that she is going up in order to take a vote away from Xavier since he is her target.
5:32 PM: Hannah nominated Alyssa and Xavier for eviction.
5:38 PM: The veto players were Hannah, Alyssa, Xavier, Azah, Derek and Tiffany. Xavier won the Power of Veto.
5:48 PM: Xavier used the Power of Veto on himself. Hannah nominated Kyland as the replacement nominee.
5:54 PM: By a vote of 3-1, Alyssa was evicted from the Big Brother house. Xavier cast the sole vote to evict Kyland.
6:12 PM: Hannah apologized to Xavier for having to put him on the block. Xavier told her to stop apologizing since it was what needed to be done. Xavier said he is proud of Hannah.
6:19 PM: Kyland told Tiffany that what he didn’t understand is why anyone would do something for appearances to appease Alyssa after the veto competition had already taken place. He said it seemed in the moment that the priority was Alyssa’s feelings over his own. Tiffany said she is sorry that Kyland had to volunteer. She clarified that she did not know that Kyland was going up until she talked to Hannah in the bathroom, and she questioned why he would go up over Azah. Kyland said he knew it was the most likely outcome but what sent him off was Derek asking if he could give Alyssa a sympathy vote. Kyland said that in fairness to Derek, he did bring up a valid point that he doesn’t have a person in jury and he has not got to give anyone a sympathy vote. Kyland said he wishes that he had shown more sympathy to Derek in that moment.
6:27 PM: Hannah told Derek that she wants to talk to him and hopes that he didn’t think she was brushing him off during the double. Derek explained that he wanted to talk to her to see if she would be okay with breaking a tie because he has not got to throw a sympathy vote. Hannah said she is sorry since she didn’t know. Derek said he is really looking pretty to sit next to at this point since he didn’t vote for anyone in the jury. As for the week ahead, Derek said he is going for Tiffany, Azah is going for Kyland, and he thinks that Tiffany is going after Kyland or Xavier or else it would be him. Hannah said she doesn’t think that anyone is looking at Derek right now. Hannah asked if she is going on the block as a pawn if Derek wins. He confirmed that she would be. He told her not to worry since Kyland would go up if Tiffany wins the veto.
6:32 PM: Kyland explained to Hannah that what stressed him out during the double is that Derek said he wanted to cast a vote for Alyssa. He clarified that he volunteered to go on the block and was the only one to do so, so it wasn’t about that.
6:44 PM: Derek let Xavier know that he wants Tiffany to go. Derek asked that Xavier throw it to him unless he really wants it this week. He said that he would nominate Hannah and Tiffany, and then Kyland can go up if Hannah comes down but they should be able to get him the votes to stay. Once Tiffany goes, Derek suggested that Kyland should be the next to go. Xavier agreed. He said he doesn’t know what he would do yet but he might nominate Kyland and Tiffany. Xavier brought up that it would be best for him to compete in the final four so that’s why he would prefer to win this week over next.
6:51 PM: Azah told Hannah she is happy and relieved that they were able to make it to six together after all of the hard decisions that needed to be made along the way. Hannah said she cannot believe that they are there. She pointed out that they are the only alliance to form week one and get all of its members to the end, and all of them are black. Hannah added that the winner will be a black person for the first time in Big Brother US history.
6:57 PM: Kyland spoke to Xavier about the two of them working together until the end. Xavier said they need each other. Kyland said they don’t and Xavier especially could find his own path but he wants them to be together. Kyland said he plans to hang on in the HoH competition until Hannah and Tiffany are out because those are the two he believes could possibly put both of them on the block.
7:35 PM: Tiffany told Hannah she knew that she was going to win HoH. She talked about putting the key around Hannah’s neck the other day being good energy. Hannah then put it back around Tiffany’s neck for a moment. Hannah later told Tiffany that Azah said she would put Kyland and Xavier up but she doesn’t believe it. As for Derek, Hannah said he straight up told her that the two of them would be going on the block together. Hannah said one of them has to win veto if they don’t get HoH.
8:04 PM: Feeds went down for the HoH competition.
9:58 PM: Feeds returned. Kyland is the new HoH.
9:59 PM: Kyland let the houseguests know that he would like for them to rest and enjoy tonight, so he will have his conversations tomorrow but will do 5-10 minute check ins tonight for whoever wants one.
9:59 PM: Derek spoke to the camera about how he could have won the competition but it was not meant to be. He said he hates losing constantly.
10:03 PM: Kyland let Derek know that he was not trying to win and that he did not mean to take that away from him. Derek said it’s on him and he cannot ask someone to throw a competition to him. Derek asked what he needs to worry about. Kyland said as long as they are being honest with each other, nothing. Kyland said he feels good about Azah and Xavier and feels that there is not much to think about. Kyland double checked that Derek would keep him over Azah and Xavier if he ends up nominated next to either of them next week if Hannah wins HoH. Derek said yes. Derek said Tiffany goes this week as long as she does not win the veto, and then Hannah can go next week.
10:35 PM: Kyland spoke to the cameras and said he did not want to win that one. He mentioned he was thinking it was best case if Derek would have won because he wouldn’t have had to be the one to take a shot at the girls, specifically Tiffany. Kyland said his goal is to sit in the final two chairs, and ideally have it be next to the strongest player in the game which he thinks is Xavier.
10:50 PM: Kyland told Azah that he plans to stick to what he said with her. He had told her that he would keep her safe to the final four. Kyland asked if there is any way that they can extend their deal to the final three. He let Azah know that she can think about it before tomorrow. Azah asked who the fourth person would be. Kyland asked if she has a preference between Hannah, Tiffany and Xavier. Azah said she respects Tiffany but she also respects the game that Xavier has played throughout the season. Kyland said it would be awesome if she could come up with pros and cons for those two before they talk tomorrow. Azah asked if Kyland wants to put her up, and he said that he does not.
11:14 PM: Tiffany told Kyland that one of them needed to win this HoH. Kyland said that’s why he won. He admitted that he did consider not winning but he knew that Derek would definitely go after Hannah and Tiffany, and he preferred to give himself the chance to have more conversations. Kyland said he would like to have the conversation that Tiffany mentioned the other day in terms of laying everything out on the table, and he asked that it happen tomorrow. Tiffany said she knows that she needs Kyland in this game.
11:33 PM: Kyland let Hannah know that he is not going to promise anything to anyone until they get a chance to have fuller conversations tomorrow. He said his priority is to get himself to the final three and therefore he would like to have discussions about that tomorrow, and said he would appreciate if Hannah could let him know of any reassurances she could give him that would help him get there.
12:11 AM: Kyland reiterated to Xavier that he wants to sit next to him at the end. He brought up telling Derek that he is good and telling Azah that he doesn’t see a reason for them to target each other at six or five, and she is down for that. Kyland said he thinks it makes the most sense to put both Hannah and Tiffany on the block. He added that the replacement nominee would probably be Azah, which he does not want to be forced to do, but he thinks she would stay should it come down to that.
