BB21: Power of Veto Show Blog Party - August 28

Tonight we get to endure the return of the ZingBot. I say endure because it's not really a favorite of mine. Although they often deserve the "zings" I find it quite mean-hearted. Plus, due to the whacko voice used, I often have trouble deciphering what it's saying. Oh, well. We should also have some more pranks going on.

I'll be live-blogging and updating this entry with the major events as the show airs here on the East Coast. Refresh the page to get in on the latest happenings! As always, the real party is in the comments area. Please feel free to join in on the fun!

Previously on is telling us all about previously seen stuff. Amazing, indeed.

Nick tells us that sitting next to Christie is his best chance of staying this week (other than winning veto). And, we're to the show intro and bigger and better things. Or, so we hope.

The nominations ceremony ends. Holly or her people think they need to win to keep the noms the same as some of them might be in trouble. Christie is assuming the Prankster is Nick. She's right. She thinks she can win the veto and bounce back, surviving again this week. I hope not!

Jackson tells Holly he wants to play for veto -- he'd keep the noms the same. Tommy tells Holly that he thought Christie won Prankster until the nominations came down. They have him worried that he might go up if the veto is used to save Christie.

Nick and Christie have an amicable talk about the nominations. She "reads energy" and doesn't believe anything he's selling, as she shouldn't. He doesn't want her to know he's the Prankster although she tells us she's sure he is.

Prankster pie clips -- everyone gets pies! Even Nick in the Diary Room. Nicole thinks of the pies as retaliation for wrongs done in the house.

Time to pick veto players. Holly gets a fist of goo reaching in to select a chip. She got Houseguest Choice and chose Jackson. Nick got Cliff. (Cliff tells us he wouldn't use it.) Christie got Jessica.

Christie tells Jackson/Holly that Nick is a swindler and she doesn't want him to get in anyone's heads. She thinks she can do a deal with them. Christie thinks her deal with them to be a pawn is gone because she's on the block. But, as they point out to us, they didn't nominate her. Of course, I'm hoping she goes this week and the pawn bit would be moot anyway.

ZingBot arrives. Much ado. Nicole is thrilled. ZB calls them the biggest group of losers ever. Tommy -- singing and dancing reminds of Little Shop of Attention Whores. Nicole -- Afraid of birds, but lived with old buzzard all season named Holly. Christie -- loud on Taco Tuesday, not the fighting but your chewing. Has something for one of them -- Nick -- Open present, time for a new haircut! Nicole -- tough for you with no friends, no boyfriends … you must feel right at home. One hg this summer who's very voluptuous and quite busty -- pleased to meet you, Cliff. Jess -- the game you're playing this summer, fans planning convention called SnoozeFest. Jackson -- Hello, what should I call you? Michie? Jackson? Or Pompous DoucheBag? 

The scandals and fake news pushed ZB out of office. On the run, hiding in BB house and they'll never find him. Guards come in to arrest him. 

They go around the house and find ZB locked up. He's expecting them to help him escape. They "knock out cameras" by moving balls in a vertical table maze. with guiding ropes comp. The comp is Free the Zing.

JACKSON wins the Power of Veto! His only real competition in the comp was Nick. Nick is not a happy camper. Christie thinks she might have a chance to stay as long as Nick remains on the block.

Jackson visits Nick in the boat room. Nick tells him that you can only really tell loyalty when you're not looking. He told Jackson he wouldn't have gone on the block. Hinting around that he's the Prankster and telling us that he thinks telling him might keep him safe. It might be his only shot. 

So, Jackson runs to Holly and tells her that Nick is the Prankster. He tells her not to tell anyone. Holly really wants Nick out. Christie comes in and Jackson tells her he's not using the veto because they don't know who would go up. He tells her that she won't be going home anyway. She isn't salty about it -- she thinks she has a good chance of staying.

Then Nick tells Tommy to show him that he could have put him up and wants the favor returned. Tommy is not really committing, says it's still early.

Veto meeting time  … and PIES! Three pies to the face of the veto winner! Good.

Jackson does NOT use the veto. The nominations remain Christie and Nick. Either going would be fine with me. I don't like either one of them.
