BB21: Live Eviction Show Blog Party - July 25

So, here we are … going into the first real eviction of the season. Will it be Jack or Bella? Will it be a landslide or a blindside? These questions and more will be answered during the show.

Lifeguard SueGee has updated the blog pool. You can find the latest standings at THIS HERE POST.

I'll be live blogging the major events and updating this entry as the show airs here on the East Coast. A separate post is waiting in the wings to cover the expected HOH endurance comp which is promised on the live feeds after the aired show ends. That post should appear, as if by magic. a few minutes before 10pm ET. As always, the real party is in the comments area -- please feel free to join in on the fun!

Julie, once again looking like a breath of fresh air in the summer. welcomes us and we're into the "previously on" segment. I will twiddle my thumbs until the real action starts.

We're promised an epic battle of endurance beginning in the show. And, it's back to Julie. Can Bella talk her way out of the trouble she's in? We pick up after the veto meeting ends. Cliff tells us he's thinking weeks ahead. We'll see how that works out. Jack thinks his odds are good. Nick thinks Cliff made a stupid move as the ones he's helping just voted him out last week.

Bella is crying. Jackson tells us how the entire house has been burned by Bella. Cliff tells Nick why he did what he did. Cliff tells us Nick and Bella aren't his path to victory.

Nick is sure that Bella will be voted out. He seems to really care about her. That's a bit unlike some of the other hanky-panky going around in the house! She tells us she loves him and will fight to stay in the house. 

Jack thinks it says something about Cliff that he kept his word to Christie. Cliff proposes working with them. He knows he won't be at the head of the totem pole. He would like to make sure he's not a target while they turn on each other -- sort of like they turned on Sam and Bella. They're receptive to Cliff's proposal.

Kat and Holly both come from the pageant world. They recognize each other but don't know each other (like Tommy and Christie know each other). So, some of these secrets are coming out. They go for a final two deal together.

Cliff explains to Bella why he put her up and that if he hadn't, Christie would have used the power and she would go up anyway. She tells him she will campaign for the votes. He tells her more power to her. Cliff tells her that if it's a tiebreaker, he will do what he has to do. Hmm. 

She is working it. Kat tells us she knows Jack will have to go, but it might be too early. She goes to Jess and Nicole. Jess is still mad at her but says Bella makes a compelling argument. Nicole tells us she can actually work with this Bella and it's a huge opportunity to get rid of Jack.

Just before commercial, Julie tells us it's time to meet the Cliffomaniacs; On a side not, I'm getting a kick out of his daughter Kelly on Twitter. She's a hoot!

We meet his family. His wife speaks highly of him. His two adult kids are there, too. We get a clip of his moon tribute from the feeds. He has a patent. Hmm. Then we get a clip of him twerking in the fashion contest yesterday. His kids are very proud, as is his wife. The live vote is next and we go into commercial.

To the living room.
Bella - Shout outs, consider the bigger threat, haven't won anything, large group, will take out the others one by one, respect Jack and your decision.
Jack - Hates speeches, team player, hold myself with integrity, hope you vote what's best for your game.

The votes to evict:
Christie - Bella
Analyse - Bella
Jackson - Bella
Nick - Jack
To commercial …
Sam - Jack
Nicole - Bella
Kat - Bella
Jess - Bella
Holly - Bella
Tommy - Bella

Eight to two, Bella is evicted. They had their chance to get rid of a real threat and didn't do it. I love that Kat said first she wanted to evict Michie! So, we go through the fake hugs. Bella is handling it well. Nick is crying.

Now, if the Bella talking to Julie was the Bella in the house, she'd still be there. She does indeed care about Nick. We get goodbye messages. Sam, Nicole leave nice messages. Nasty from Jack. Nick sweet. Bella is in tears by the end. But she did come off as very poised for most the interview, there will be an extended interview online.

To the backyard. Pose in Ivy. Hold onto vines for dear life, fall off, you're eliminated. Pull chip from punishment box. Two will receive poison ivy punishment. They're swinging, two hands on vines, feet also on vine-like moving piece.

Julie tells us next Thursday we get to send three HG on a trip that will put one HG game on the line.

Back to the comp -- Jess is down. Pick up the action on the comp post I made. Nicole is out.
