All times Eastern.

8:05 — We pick up with the Power of Veto meeting because the previous episode did not reveal who went up after Britini won the Power of Veto and saved herself. Derek X. chose to put Christian on the block — Christian is DX’s real target this week, though it has not been going as smoothly as Derek X. assumed it would.

8:10 — First of all, Christian was pissed to be backdoored. Secondly, Tiffany was pissed that no one wanted to get on board with evicting Sarah Beth. Everyone is convinced Sarah Beth is some kind of evil mastermind and that… is giving her A LOT more credit than she deserves.

8:15 — Claire gets her “Duke of the Deck” costume and learns that she has to play 52-card pick-up anytime the king wants to be entertained. Kyland is the “Jackass of Clubs,” so anytime the king demands, he must make club sandwiches for the people in the house. Why didn’t they call him the “Earl of Sandwich”? It’s RIGHT THERE.

8:20 — Now we get the segment of Christian campaigning to stay, which is causing problems because Britini and Derek F. are lying to him, acting like they’re voting for him to stay, which is putting pressure on Tiffany because Christian sees her and Claire as “swing votes,” but they really aren’t. Tiffany wants to out Britini and Derek F’s lies to Christian so she doesn’t look bad, which makes Derek F. want to blow up the Cookout.

8:30 — Tiffany outs the Jokers to Christian as not voting for him to say. She wants him to stay and she thinks if she pushes hard enough, they can flip the house. But here’s where the fight starts. Tiffany sends Christian to get Britini and Christian is not at all tactful in the way he summons Britini and then when Azah asks who wants to talk to Britini, he just blurts out Tiffany. Christian screwed that all up. So now Derek F. and Azah are dogging Britini like her bodyguards and want to know what Tiffany’s deal is and Tiffany’s mad she can’t just talk to Britini if she wants to.

8:40 — Time to vote. Hannah and Kyland vote to evict Christian, then Xavier and Alyssa vote to evict Sarah Beth. All tied up.

8:45 — Britini votes to evict Christian, so that should be that. But let’s see how everyone else votes. Derek F., Tiffany, Claire and Azah vote to evict Christian. He lays a big kiss on Alyssa on his way out — keep this in mind. As people are pointing out on Twitter, the last two couples separated by prejury/jury got married (Swaggy C Williams and Bayleigh Dayton, and Cody Nickson and Jessica Graf).

8:55 — Julie reveals to the houseguests that they’ve all made it to the jury. It is now time for America to vote on a new twist. A new room is opening in the house — the High Roller’s Room. Inside are three unique “Big Brother” casino games and three game-changing powers. For three weeks, America will vote to give the houseguests BB money — the top three get $100, the next three get $75 and the rest of them get $50. They can use their money to try to win different powers. The better the power, the more it costs to play. But you can hold onto your cash and wait for a bigger power down the line.

To vote, you text the houseguest’s name to 97979. Votes will be accepted until 9 a.m. PT on August 13.

“Big Brother” season 23 airs Sundays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on CBS.
