BB21: HoH Completion, Nominations Show Blog Party - Aug. 18

Tonight should be a fun-filled show -- we get to watch the comedy of the Slip and Slide HoH competition play out. And, then there's the nominations. Since this is a show post, I ask that there are no spoilers before things air on the show itself. Such comments will be removed. Please stick to the live feeds posts with spoilers.

I'll be live-blogging the major events and updating this post as the show airs here on the East Coast. Refresh the page to get the latest news! As always, the real party is in the comments section. I hope to see you there!

I believe there's an under ten minute delay in the start of the show. I turned on 60 Minutes at 7:09pm here and it was just starting. 

8:08pm ET and we're into Previously On ...

We'll see how Jess caused chaos the night before Kat's eviction. Woot. N\But first ...

We get the Slip 'n Slide comp. They're fun to watch, not easy to report. Nicole tells us that she felt she had to vote out Kat to have the least amount of people mad at her. We get the standard "I have to win HoH" Diary Room clips in between action on the Slip 'n Slide. Analyse lies to Jess, telling her there is no alliance (you know, the one that doesn't include Jess). Holly and Analyse have a kerfuffle over things said to others. 

Christie, Jess and Analyse go to the Camp ComeBack room to talk privately. Christie denies an alliance, just a "group who will watch each other's backs and have a common target -- Jackson … then Holly." But Jackson heard them. Heh. Holly confronts Christie about the alliance (against them). Christie denies it and all is blamed on Jess. Back to a brief shot of the comp before going into commercial.

Nick took an early lead. He and Jackson seem to be doing the best. Now we get some falls. I always find it a miracle no one has broken any bones in this comp. Nick has started falling. Too bad, so sad. "Like a hippopotamus on a high wire," says Cliff. Jackson's straps fell down, so he took them off. Then his lederhosen pants fell off, so he's competing in his boxer shorts.

JACKSON/MICHIE wins HoH!

He tells us his initial instinct is to put Christy and Analyse on the block … or Christie and anybody. Cliff knows he's in a spot because he just made a deal last week with those Jackson is likely to target. 

Holly and Jackson talk about who to put up with Christie to make sure Christie would be the one to go home. Nick? Hmm. Risky. Christie and Analyse discuss whether Jackson will backdoor someone. Christie doesn't want to go on the block. Poor picked on baby.

Tommy knows that Jackson doesn't like Christie and wants her out. He's made an effort to get along with everyone and feels it's best for his own game would be to not get involved. 

Cliff tells Jackson that Christie and company took him in to target him (Jackson) in the deal last week. Cliff apologizes. Jackson is angry that they used Cliff to do their dirty work, but not at Cliff.

I can't help but notice the show directs them to call Jackson Michie in the Diary Room. But in normal house conversations, they usually call him Jackson. So, that's why I call him Jackson in my posts. We get a bunch of Jackson/Holly clips.

Heh. A funny segment on Analyse not knowing the days get "shorter" as fall approaches. She thinks that means the time will go quicker. 

Jackson and Holly discuss the nominations. He wants to put up Christie and Analyse because only one can come down. He knows Analyse would be a vote for Christie to stay. He thought about Tommy but thinks he can work with him if Christie is gone.

Christie talks to Jackson, telling her there was no alliance and she wasn't the one who decided to get Cliff in on it. He doesn't tell her that he's putting her up. But he doesn't tell her he isn't. He tells her he's here to play the game.

They discuss the NJ Garden State Parkway and how close Christie and Tommy live to each other -- three exits apart. Cliff is there. Tommy is ticked that it hints they might know each other. By the way, I'm 131 or so, close but I insist I don't know them.

Jackson talks to Analyse, telling her she's not the target this week. He took in from the talk to beware of Nick. He didn't tell her he won't put her on the block.

A segment of Analyse's chicken punishment -- laying an egg, clucking, cooking eggs according to direction and delivering to the others.

Jackson talks to Nick, tells him he needs to target the people working against him. Nick just listens. Jackson is now more leery of Nick, thinking he confirmed that he (Jackson) is the target. He tells Holly that Cliff didn't make the deal, it was Nick. Nick is now on the list of who they want gone.

Time for the Nominations Ceremony. Jackson first nominates Christie, then Analyse. He tells them if he hadn't won HoH, he'd be there. He came to win and they're threats to his game, not personal.
