Second night

Well, it went pretty much like last night's show with the last 8 HGs. I missed a few minutes of the chatter among the HGs. I saw Donny breaking the boredom with cricket noises. He is really great at making a cricket sound and it also doubles as a referee whistle sound. Caleb won the 2nd HOH in a similar competition about being on  BBQ spit. There was a cylinder again only this time they had to lay on it and hold onto it while it turned and the last one holding on, won. They were sprayed with BBQ sauce which made it a bit slippery. Here is the order they fell off: Victoria, Brittany, Jocasta, Christine, Zach (threw it), Derrick (threw it) and finally Hayden. That left Caleb who was showing off during the competition by letting go of the cylinder with an arm and at times, and arm & a leg. The other HGs were stunned by what a beast Caleb is. That can place a target squarely on his back!

Julie explained the HOH twist and the new competition called "Battle of the Block." Here is how I understood it. HOH1 & HOH2 with each nominate 2 HGs for eviction. The BotB competition will be between the nominees. HOH1's nominees will battle HOH2's nominees. The winning nominee pair will be taken off the block and the HOH who nominated them will no longer be HOH. This means the winning pair's HOH will be put back in the pool of qualifying HGs to be put on the block if the power of veto is used. Thus, an HOH could lose their position AND be put on the block... if their nominees win the BotB comp! This could really tangle things up. I love it.

The first player that America voted into the Team America alliance was revealed to be Joey. She was very happy. They are given the option of telling the other HGs or not. There will be three HGs in this alliance. They will be paid $5000 for each mission they complete for America. Julie then opened up the voting for the 2nd TA alliance member. Voting will be open until late next Tuesday (7/1). My choice is of course Donny. We each get 20 votes (per IP address). If you're with me, vote for Donny.

While we are talking about Donny check out this little tidbit over on Joker's by clicking this link. It's definitely sure to blow you away. A "shocker."
