BB21: Live Feeds into Friday - August 9

The health hazard remains in the house

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of One Jack Down:

• Before I get into the live feeds, a few things first. 
• Number 1: If you haven't voted yet, go vote. Vote for Christie, Jackson and whomever you do NOT like. Yes, one of the three with the most amount of votes will get safety. But one will be a third nomination, the other will have a punishment. It's NOT a vote for who you like the most! The three will have to compete in a comp. The winner of that comp gets the safety. You do not need All Access to vote, but do need to register an account at CBS.com for tracking votes purposes.
• Number 2: While you're at the site, check out the extended interview with Julie and Jack. I don't think you need All Access for it. If you do, scout about online for it. While it's not as confrontational as the one on the show, the goodbye messages are interesting. It also caught my interest how many times Jack called Jackson "Jackson" and then corrected to "Michie." That's something the show has pushed because they thought either we or the hamsters were too dumb to tell the difference!
• Number 3: In reference to Jack's interview with Julie on the show, I personally think he was warned or even coached ahead of time. And, it seemed like his story about rice pudding is a lie. I never saw the conversation he talked about, but I don't see everything on the live feeds. The internet has scouted the previous conversations from that day and no discussion of rice and slop pudding exists on the feeds. The only discussion found that talks of pudding and slop didn't include Jack.
• Okay, now to our regularly scheduled live feeds talk …
• For the record, I think Tommy is the first (and worst) costumed HoH winner. He isn't getting relief from it and I believe he won't get out of it until after/during the veto comp.
• Poor baby.
• Heh.
• While the feeds were blocked yesterday, each hamster had two trial practice runs in the comps. From what they said, the times during those practices were nowhere near as close as the ones in the televised comp.
• As I mentioned before, Tommy really didn't want this HoH (or any to this point). It's putting him on the spot and getting blood on his hands.
• Poor baby.
• Nick told Tommy he threw the comp because he didn't know what to do with an HoH this week.
• Kat, feeling that Tommy might target her, ran to Tommy with all kinds of explanations about how she had to vote for Jack to leave to protect Jess.
• Hmm. They don't realize that Tommy also voted for Jack to go? Hmm.
• Tommy told them that he was going to talk to everyone before making a decision.
• Then he went and told a slew of them that they were safe. One by one, but …!
• Of course, Christie is safe. But we all knew that. (She won't necessarily be safe if she ends up being the third nomination. But would the votes be there to get her out? Possibly not, but it would be an awakening for her!)
• He told Holly, Analyse and Jackson that he wouldn't put them on the block.
• Jackson offered to be a pawn, would rather not, but if needed.
• Tommy told him he'd be reluctant to do that because it's risky.
• Tommy also told Jackson that he has a target, but won't tell anyone who it is because he doesn't trust anyone. Hmm.
• He told Jackson that he's not planning on putting any of the Six Shooters (or Faulty Five in my mind now) on the block.
• That's not a surprise to me. Are you shocked?
• For some reason, Nick hung out with Nicole a lot. He told her he threw the comp even. What's he up to? I thought he'd be flirting with Tommy!
• Analyse and Christie talked about what a big threat Cliff is in the game and how he needs to be backdoored.
• It seems that, although Holly once referred to the Jack/Analyse relationship as "not a showmance, just two people having sex" Analyse might still be carrying the torch for Jack. She told Christie that if she was HoH, she'd put Holly and Jackson on the block … and then backdoor Cliff.
• Christie and Analyse said that, due to the big move she made, if Jess gets to the end, she has their vote for the win.
• We'll see about that!
• In Tommy's HOH room, he got pictures which included his aunt … Christie's ex. 
• All continued in Kumbaya mode for Tommy's birthday cake and celebration. Note that there are no Have Nots this week. Perhaps it's due to not wanting to take action about Jackson's cheating.
• Tommy and Christie talked alone for a while. He knows that Christie has a bit of a soft spot for Nicole and he himself seems to like her. He told Christie that although he's targeting three of the bunch, he won't be putting up Nicole.
• Phew!
• C'mon, Nicole! I personally like you the best, but you need to WIN something!
• Ahem. That was just me. Carry on.
• Tommy told Christie his target is Kat. I thought he said he wasn't going to tell anyone?
• He's thinking of Kat and Cliff on the block and even saving Cliff if he wins veto.
• He might put up Nicole in his place as a pawn just to make sure Kat goes.
• NONONO! Tommy! Don't put her up as anything!
• Ahem. Just me again.
• He is getting increasingly worried that people will tie him and Christie together. He told her he voted for Jack to to go mainly to show they weren't working together -- it would be obvious that Christie and Analyse were the two votes to keep Jack.
• Tommy also told Christie that he thinks Nick is building an "army" and trying to align with Jess and others.
• I guess he's not falling for Nick's flirting.
• Cliff talked to Tommy, trying to go for his safety. He told him that he had promised Jess before Jack tried to deal with him. Plus, he never did nor would he put Christie or Tommy on the block.
• What? He's tying Christie and Tommy together?!?! But, no one knows about that!
• Heh.
• Tommy ended up telling Cliff that if he does put him on the block, it would be as a pawn.
• Kat talked to Tommy. He did not tell her she was his target. I don't think she changed his mind, though.
• Well, well, well. Y'see, Nick told Nicole that Tommy said the nominations would be Kat and Cliff. Nicole went and told Tommy that she heard it. Tommy now knows that Nick repeated something he said in confidence to Nick. Heehee! 
• Of course, Nick is angry that Nicole told. But Nicole and Nick have never been close. He just tried to worm his way in with her like he does all over the house.
• Tommy told Nick she didn't do it maliciously.
• Tommy also offered Nicole room in the HoH bed for the night. He told her he loves her and her zest for the game.
• She turned him down on the bed offer.
• But I do think she's safe this week.
• Kat, perhaps not so much.

Will Nick's flirting with Tommy save him?

Who wants to see a photo of my aunt?

Third nom this week would be okay, right?

First and worst HoH costume
