8:44 p.m. EST: The High Rollers room is now open!

8:46 p.m. EST: Azah has earned 50 BB BBs giving him a total of 100 BB bucks which is not enough to play. Hannah and Xavier both earned another 75 BB bucks, giving them a total of 150 BB bucks each. They both save.

8:51 p.m. EST: The worst-case scenario for the Cookout for this week would be Derek X. wins Chopping Block Roulette and pulls Claire off the block. That would leave very few options for replacement candidates, putting The Cookout at risk. Kyland advises Derek X not to play Chopping Block Roulette.

She sees him as the ultimate pawn and believes that anyone who sits next to him will come home. She wants to give the randomly selected replacement candidate a chance to stay this week.
8:58 p.m. EST: The replacement is Xavier. This is Alyssa’s worst case. Xavier is her closest friend back home.
8:59 p.m. EST: Xavier is going to attempt the veto this week but he still feels safe anyway with The Cookout behind him.
9 p.m. EST: Sarah Beth still plans to backdoor Derek X. if she can. She looks at the camera and says, “Sorry, America. I’m sending your boy home.
