Finally got around to Wicked! (I'm exceedingly adverse to spending money, don't judge me.) It was pretty amazing. I will say I didn't love the pacing, but it was truer to the musical's form than trying to be a film.
The allegorical themes are so incredibly relevant.
Complete batshit lunacy on the president's Truth Social account. Yes, he really posted this.
Get. Him. Out. Of. Our. Government.
they were on her immediately cause she is super not strategic.
2 Everyone saying Danielle is a horrible Traitor... WELL SHE'S THE LAST ONE STANDING SO NOW WHAT.
Two things strike me about the latest Traitors US. Spoilers ahead.
1 Everyone saying Carolyn was playing so well because they never suspected her. Well she openly says she never got to make moves cause the other Traitors wouldn't listen. But as soon as she made decisions in the chess mission -
It's time for the next HOH, and it is the most iconic yet: THE WALL.
The players hang with their backs on a wall by a small platform for their feet and handhold. The wall tilts forward and they're hit with obstacles similar to the Pressure Cooker. The goal is simple: stay on the wall the longest.
It's official, Asajj has been evicted from the Big Brother Station.
Asajj leaves without a word. The house is visibly shocked again by the outcome.
It's time for the live vote and eviction.
Han has voted to evict Asajj
Maz has voted to evict Asajj
Obi-Wan has voted to evict Phee
K2 has voted to evict Asajj
Kaz has voted to evict Phee
Tala has voted to evict Asajj
Hondo has voted to evict Phee
Maz has used the Power of Veto on herself.
Sheev has named Asajj as the replacement nominee.
Sheev Nom Speech: Asajj, you forced my hand. I don't feel safe after last week with you. If you are still here next week, maybe we can work towards rebuilding that trust.
Feeds were down today (bitch of a work day)
Phee told Asajj that her unexpected move selecting her was an olive branch to try and get her to work with Phee and Maz, saying she thought Sheev might target her so she wanted to give her a chance to play.
Sheev and Asajj continue to avoid each other.
Maz has won the Power of Veto.
Maz nails all 7 questions and leaves no doubt, with only Phee and Sheev even getting as close 6 on the last question.
the patterns. The answer will be one of the colors. (Ex: what color appeared 4th, or what color only appeared once, etc) The player with the most correct after 7 questions will win the Golden Power of Veto.
By random draw, Obi-Wan, Han, and Asajj (Houseguest choice by Phee) have been chosen to play in the Veto along with Sheev, Maz, and Phee.
The Veto is called Chance Cube. A series of multicolored chance cubes will be rolled to create a color pattern. The players will then be asked questions about-
Sheev has nominated Maz and Phee for eviction.
Sheev Noms Speech: "I do not relish the responsibility of this duty. But the game must continue. And I almost went home last night. So in this nomination, I unfortunately had to guess who I believe chose to vote for me, and so if I'm wrong, forgive me."
Kaz suggests to Han and Hondo that they try to strike a deal with Sheev, but they both tell him its not the time to come groveling when he's in power. Kaz says he's already got a food relationship with him, but the two continue to refuse.
Obi-Wan takes a few pieces of stone to the face and finally lets go, leaving Sheev the last one standing. Though the players aren't supposed to use their powers, Palpatine is conspicuously avoided by the debris...
K2 is next to drop during the mynock release, and finally Maz fakes getting blown off by a Droid to throw the comp. This leaves Sheev and Obi-Wan, and their battle stretches on and and on.
Finally they hit an anti-grav and toss in some debris to fly around with them.
Sheev has won the Head of Household!
The Pressure Cooker delivers a tight battle, lasting over 2 hours. Everyone held tough until the first anti-grav, when Kaz dropped, followed by Tala and Phee soon after. A blast knocks Han off, and the second anti-grav gets Hondo.
Still time to vote for the winner of the third HOH! Who will win, and who will they nominate for eviction?
poll-maker.com/poll5409937x...
Kaz: I'm ready to win! I wanna prove to the others what I can do. Let's go!
K2: I'm set up nicely right now, but I wanna win and cause some chaos. I'm getting bored of being on the outside of the game.
Obi-Wan: I don't necessarily need to win. Still, I can't afford not to. I've lost two allies in as many weeks and I need to get a handle on this...
Tala: It is SO crucial Obi-Wan or I win. Our allies are being picked off, we have to put a stop to this.
Pre HOH DRs:
Asajj: I really don't care who wins. If Sheev or Tala wins I'm going up, but I'm not afraid of them.
Han: I wanna win this one, but if I can't, I hope Hondo, Kaz, or Maz pull it out cause I know I won't go up. Sheev would be fun too, cause I really don't know what he would do.
Seems simple right? Well there will be obstacles. Training droids taking pot shots, cold steam, anti-grav, and dianoga and mynocks getting released. Should be a good time!
After the split vote, everyone continues to be on edge. As the sides become clearer, this one shapes up like a war.
Its time for the next HOH. Asajj, as outgoing HOH, you are not eligible to compete.
This is another BB classic, a real throwback. We're having a good old fashioned Pressure Cooker.
Players will stand in a chamber in a circle ajdnd must keep a button pressed. Last one to release their button wins.
Asajj will cast the deciding vote to evict.
Asajj: "It's no secret who I was after this week. I'm surprised to be the one to have to do it, but I'll enjoy personally sending you home. You should not have missed. Vernestra, my vote is for you."
Its official, Vernestra will leave the BBGFFA Station.
It's time for the live vote and eviction.
Maz has voted for Sheev
Han has voted for Vernestra
Phee has voted for Sheev
Tala has voted for Sheev
Kaz has voted for Vernestra
K-2SO has voted for Vernestra
Hondo has voted for Vernestra
Obi-Wan has voted for Sheev
We have a tie.
Asajj has named Sheev as the replacement nominee.
Asajj: "This isn't for any reason other than your connection to Kenobi... I still think the Jedi is going."
Sheev in the DR: "How unfortunate, she has chosen to be adversaries... if she only knew the true power of the Dark Side."
