BB21: Power of Veto Show Blog Party - August 21

Christie and Analyse are on the block. Do we want those nominations changed? Perhaps Christie might manifest her way to a win? Ya never know. (Well, we do know but those are spoilers not to be in the comments of this show post, thank you very much).

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 area -- please feel free to join in on the fun!

Let's get through the Previously On ... I did notice that the narrator called "Michie" Jackson at one point.

We pick up at the end of the nominations ceremony. Christie knows she's the target, but the universe will have her win the veto. Analyse is out of the chicken suit, but upset to be on the block. 

The nominees bond more while talking about how fake everyone else is. Analyse wants Tommy to win the veto. She thinks that whoever she's sitting next to will go home because she's so well-liked by all. Cough.

Tommy wants Christie to win the veto, but he needs to think of himself. He gets along well with Jackson/Holly, unlike Christie. Jackson and Tommy talk -- they have been loyal. Jackson tells us he loves Tommy but if Sis comes down, the only way to ensure Christie going home would be to put up Tommy.

Christie had the epiphany that Nick must be working with Holly and Jackson. She thinks he's manipulating others. Analyse wants Christie to come off the block since she's her number one ally in the game. Of course, she thinks she herself is so well liked that she'll stay no matter who is next to her on the block. @@ Christie tells Nick that she wants for him to be honest -- if they get him for veto, will he save one of them. He tells her he would save Analyse. Now, that sets off Christie because she knows she's the target.

Time to pick players for the veto comp! Jackson randomly draws Cliff. Christie gets Nick. (Heh.) Analyse gets Holly.

Christie is increasing her distrust of Nick. She is sure he's working with Jackson. And, of course, he already told her he'd save Analyse. Tommy is bewildered where the distrust of Nick started. Nick is angry that he's been "nothing but transparent" in the game and people he trusts don't trust him. He talks to Christie and voices that while she's saying she trusts him but is getting concerned that he's working with Jackson.

Christie cries to Tommy about it. He tells her to be strong. Because it's hard to do thought bubbles, the show gives us funny subtitles. Tommy is her hero.

Veto comp time! The backyard is a seascape. Nicole is reminded of The Little Mermaid. BB Scuba Camp. Must put the sea life back in balance. Take the ten ocean creatures back one at a time, hanging them off the ground on a mobile contraption. First one with all wins. Coral Greef. It's a bit of a physical puzzle.

JACKSON wins the PoV!

Christie cries to us. Wah.

Jackson is thrilled that he can keep the noms the same and Christie will go home. 

We're into a fluff segment. Then into Christie crying because Tommy and Holly were playing "Bay Watch" while she's suffering. How dare he have fun … and with HOLLY. How dare he. More tears. He goes in to apologize to her. He tells us he can't waste his dream because she's ruining hers.

She tells us, through tears, that the only things that might save her are the powers of manifestation or her words. But she does note her words got her there in the first place. 

Christie tells Jackson and Holly she loves both of them. She thinks she's going home but offers them two weeks of protection and rejoin up with them to an extent. She thinks America would love the "comeback story."

No. We wouldn't like it. I think I can honestly speak for America in this case.

So, she cries more. And begs more. Jackson tells her she's his biggest threat when it comes to the win. Nothing she can say or do can mend the damage she's done to him.

Time for the veto meeting. Jackson does NOT use the veto. Both Christie and Analyse remain on the block. He tells them he picked them for a reason and must follow through with it.
