Can anyone give me a couple of sentences what happened since Arlie left please?I know who has gone but not why

[Jack_]

Neda became HoH and was immediately sequestered in the War Room for almost 24 hours, she got to watch the houseguests (with no sound) and was then told by Arisa it was an Instant Eviction (noms ceremony, no Veto, straight to the vote) and had five minutes to decide on her noms. She then went back into the house and nominated Allison and Sabrina, made up a lie about how she'd found out Allison couldn't be trusted so they'd all vote her out (they weren't allowed to talk) and they did as she wished.

Adel won the next HoH purely through luck and immediately told the Gremlins they were going up, which they did in a nominations ceremony speech from him which was HILARIOUS. Neda won the Veto and kept the noms the same, they voted Rachelle out cause she was the bigger threat in an endurance comp

Jon won HoH and nominated Heather and Sabrina, targeting Heather but pretending that she was the pawn. Thankfully Heather won the PoV and saved herself, Adel was nominated in her place and Heather and Neda decided to vote him out for some reason (well, cause he's a 'bigger threat' in comps but Sabs has more jury votes so that's beyond me but oh well)

That's where we're up to

[Natalie.]

Thanks a lot Jack Aw Adel, I'll keep up with the remaining episodes now

Can't decide whether I like Neda or not now, I liked her at the start

[Jack_]

You should definitely watch the episode Adel becomes HoH and noms the Gremlins with his speech (actually it's in the same episode as Allison's Instant Eviction), it was hilarious

I appreciate her game a lot and do like her, it's just a shame she's turned on some of my other favourites, but that's the game I guess

Prefer her to Jon for sure who has just been controlled by her the entire game

Heather, Adel, Arlie, Paul and Neda have been my favourites this year. Came so close to them (not Paul) making F4/5 as well </3

[Jack_]

Jon talking about how he serious he is about F2 with Neda this guy literally has no clue how to play this game and has let her **** him over so many times

And 12 questions in a Q&A HoH?! WTF

[JTM45]

God!!!!
Sabrina is soooooooooo annoying with her screaming!

[Jack_]

This is literally the worst episode of the season I can't deal with the fact this *u*t won

Why did they not keep Adel? She's going to worm her way to F2 and she has jury votes, he didn't...dumb game move tbh

Oh how things might've been different had Arlie and he stayed

[JTM45]

I'm still happy with Adel going over Sabs!
If Adel had won HOH it still would have been Heather that gets sent packing. And Jon would have stood a far better chance of walking it with Adel the puppet still there.

I agree that Arlie should have stayed though. That was the biggest mistake of the entire Season for sure!!!

[Jack_]

k this episode has just got 1000000x times better now that Gary has arrived

[Jack_]

I really don't think Adel would have beaten Neda in that Q&A, he won his HoH purely through a lucky chance he took, couldn't see him winning one that actually requires a good memory

Keeping Sabs around just mean she has a better shot at F2 (I'm actually pretty sure whatever scenario she's going to make it now) and I think Adel should have been all of their perfect F2's, he had like no jury votes, she has possibly three

[JTM45]

Gary.........reminding them what an entertaining houseguest looks like!

[Jack_]

Nice to see some of those moments again, when I think back through this season I've actually really enjoyed it

[BBUKAUSFAN]

and the $100,000 , and the $100,000 ......

if she says this 1 more time....

[Jack_]

You know there's a problem when Jon understands the F4 noms situation more than the other houseguests

Conversations at F4 should revolve around F3/2 deals, not noms

[Jack_]

I cannot believe I've just had to witness a Sabrina nominations ceremony day I thought and hoped would never come, I feel sick

She should have gone WEEKS ago

[Jack_]

Dreading Wednesday

[JTM45]

I just hope that if Neda wins HOH she sticks with her gut feeling and gets rid of Jon.

What exactly happens now (i have a terribly sketchy memory!) ?
Once Heather (sadly but inevitably) is evicted on Wednesday they have multiple parts to the final HOH (2 parts ?). One of the final 3 gets knocked out of the HOH in the first round and in the second part the other two fight it out for final HOH. Then (on Thursday ?) the HOH decides who to take with them to final 2 and who to evict ? Then the final 2 give their speeches about why they deserve the Jury's votes and then it's all down to the Jury to vote for the winner. Let's hope there's no Topaz types there this year!

So....is that how it goes from here ?

[Jack_]

Three parts to the final HoH comp (endurance, physical, mental)

All three compete in part one, the winner goes through to part three immediately
The other two face off in part two, with that winner facing the winner of part one in part three
The winner of part three becomes the final HoH and has the casting vote of who to evict/who to take to F2

[JTM45]

Thanks again for the clarification Jack!

I hope they don't bias the comps towards Jon.
I'm only hanging on in the hope that someone other than him (hopefully Neda) wins HOH and then evicts his lardy ass right before the final!
As unlikely as it is i'd take a Sabs HOH win over a Jon one.

[starry]

So...the latest episode of The Neda Show. This really should have included the veto instead of holding back the HoH ridiculously just to give them the excuse not to. I noticed in the HoH there was actually crowd reaction so I guess the audience in the studio watched it even if they didn't allow the viewers of the previous HLs to watch it.

So now Neda and others who lost the latest HoH actually admit the whole chalkboard estimation thing is indeed just luck. Not sure Neda said that when she won that way against Allison.

Neda saying they are all underdogs was one of the funniest things I've heard for a while. It felt like it was scripted into this whole story they are trying to build up of her being an immigrant who finds herself on the show or something. Sabrina has been an underdog for a while now even if in the first half she was safe, Heather was for a while earlier but not so much in recent times. And Jon and Neda have always been part of an alliance and have never been underdogs really. Sabrina and Heather have been up plenty of times at least, the only ones left who have at any time been underdogs.

[Jack_]

Dreading this episode

I can't believe it ends tomorrow though!

[Jack_]

So after WEEKS of waiting we finally find out who Neda wants as a F2...Sabrina...makes sense I guess

Cannot believe after everything that I'm basically now going to have to hope for a Jon/Neda F2 after all, because the thought of Scumbrina winning $20k at least and having a good shot at winning it all repulses me

[Jack_]

A part luck based comp for F4 Veto?

AND WHAT THE ****** HEATHER?!?! WHY WOULD YOU REFUSE THAT? it's a costume for five days ffs, why oh why would you throw your game like that

Anyone that would refuse a forfeit as simple as that doesn't really deserve to stay around tbh

[Jack_]

This actually kills me

[Jack_]

Heather: I can't swallow it
Neda: You've swallowed worse
