BB21: Power of Veto Show Blog Party - August 14

Thankfully that awful yet renewed summer show is over and we're back to our 8pm ET/PT Wednesday night show. 

I'll be live blogging and constantly updating this post with the major show events as they air here on the East Coast. As always, the real party is in the comments area -- please feel free to join in on the fun!

Just a note for people in the NYC viewing area -- tomorrow's live eviction show will air on WLNY 10/55 instead of WCBS2 due to football.

I'll sit through the Previously On twiddling my thumbs once again.

The narrator promises us the annual OTEV comp. Woot.

We pick up the action after Tommy nominates Cliff and Kat. Tommy tells us that Cliff is definitely a pawn and Kat needs to go home. But he's very worried that Christie is on the block as the third nominee. Christie is crying … of course. Cliff would just as soon Christie go home, Jackson thinks the same.

Kat knows she's in danger, so she cries. Cliff does not cry, thank heavens. Jackson consoles her and tells her if he wins the veto he will help her. Cliff talks to her and says it's best that Christie stays on the block as she would go over Kat.

Now we're back to Christie crying. She tells Nick she believes in Karma. I do, too. She really thinks America doesn't like her. Heh. It's evident in the DR bits that if she remains on the block, without a doubt, she'll be voted out.

EW. A segment about Nick being in dreams, touching people. He has a crush on Tommy. Tommy thinks Nick is amazing? Well, that's at least according to the show edit, I guess. 

Into a segment on Tommy shunning his costume and all of the speed of light, etc. rounds through the house.

Time to pick veto players -- Only two chips are pulled by Tommy due to the extra nominee. He first pulls, Christie … she picks Nick. He pulls Cliff who chooses Jackson (thinking he'd keep Christie up on the block).

Cliff is determined to survive another week. He's staring at the Memory Wall. He thinks he wants it more than many. So he dances. It looks like he's lost the weight Jackson has gained.

Analyse, in her chicken costume, talks to Jackson telling him she trusts him and Holly. She tells us she feels alone and it's best to get the six (or so) back together. Jackson tells her it's a chance to take a shot at Christie without them having the blood on their hands. She tells him that she's been thinking the same but on the other hand she's a big target and be a shield. Jackson is adamant he wants her out. He lets her think he agrees, but tells us he wants Christie out.

Time for the comp. OTEV is a Paranoid Pigeon. He wants them to stop staring at him. Pigeon patrol! Glop comes down on them. It's working the same as every OTEV.

In the first round, it's Cliff having a wrong item and he needs to go back. Will he make it back in time? Jackson is the only other one still looking. Cliff makes it back. All were correct and Jackson is out because he was last.

Round 2: It's a struggle between Kat and Cliff and she's in tears thinking she knocked him down. He's not upset, says his leg is bad and she needs to go on. Cliff is out.

Round 3: Christie out.

Round 4: It's down to Tommy, Nick and Kat in the comp. Kat out of it now.

Round 5: TOMMY wins the Power of Veto!

Christie is just as happy as if she had won it herself. After all, she "manifested" it. @@ In my opinion, it's just another failed production twist -- I'm peeved that Tommy and Christie have the advantage of really knowing each other well outside if the house.

Veto Meeting - Tommy uses the veto to save Christie (big surprise there). Since she was the third nominee on America's Field Trip, there is no renom. It's Kat and Cliff remaining on the block.
