BB21: Power of Veto Show Blog Party - Sept. 4

As the promos for tonight have promised, it will be the Hide-and-Go Seek veto comp. While it's always a fun watch, I can't help but wonder if BB needs to drop or change up some of these comps. The hamsters expect them. Many have looked around for good hiding spots on and off all summer.

I'll be live-blogging and updating this post with the major events 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!

The narrator reminds us there are only three weeks left. And, yes they used the Jess fall to open between previously on and new material.

Jackson tells us he wouldn't mind either Jess or Christie going home. Jess feels played and doesn't know why Jackson nominated her. She also hates being on the block with her buddy Christie. Christie tearfully tells us she just has to trust Jackson (that she's a pawn).

Ah, we're into Jess/Christie crying session. You know Jess always felt left out, last one to be picked in the schoolyard as a kid and all of that stuff.

Christie and Nicole talk about getting to know each other in the house better. Jackson pooh-poohs the idea. He says things are personal and then he gives them grief about the time/date they chose to get everyone together to do it. 

So, now we're into Jackson/Holly drama. She feels he's condescending. He's clueless why she feels that way. 

Time to pick players for the veto comp. Jackson draws Nicole. Christie drew Tommy. Jess got Houseguest's Choice and went for Cliff. The only one not playing is Holly.

Holly feels she's being shut out by Jackson even though she did get him his morning coffee. Holly tells him he didn't say good morning, then calls him a douchebag in front of the others. He gets all upset and tells us he didn't deserve to be treated that way. Christie takes it as an opportunity to bond with Holly.

Holly goes to talk to him and he tells her no one talks to him like that, claims he's done everything to make her happy, won't get walked all over or be unappreciated. He tells her he's done with her. "Not doing that on CBS!" She cries. I don't feel sorry for either of them. She shouldn't have jumped into bed with him after two weeks (and after he bedded another girl and dumped her in the house) and he's a jerkface.

The veto comp is Hide and Go Veto, like we already knew. The vetoes are in the form of life preservers. They each separately get two and a half minutes to hide their veto. Then they each get timed visits separately to go in and search for the hidden vetoes. Jackson found the first veto. (Whose they are will be revealed at the end of the comp -- last person's found is the winner.) Christie is the messiest so far, just throwing stiff around.

Spoke too soon. Jackson tells us he wants to trash the house. He finds another one. Tommy found one. Then Jess found one. The house is a mess but at least no one deliberately poured out milk or Froot Loops. 

Tommy's veto is the only one not found -- TOMMY WINS THE POWER OF VETO!

Christie is thrilled because she's sure Tommy will save her (once again).

Then they go into the house to look at and clean up the mess.

Jess is sure Tommy won't save her. She needs to think of a plan because she doesn't want to meet Julie on eviction night.

Oh geez … Holly goes back to Jackson. No sympathies coming from me! And, they hug. Gah. She tells us she adores him. She doesn't want to lose him. So, the showmance is back on.

Time for the veto meeting. Whatever will Tommy do? Why, of course, he saves his long time family friend Christie once again!

Jackson puts Cliff in Christie's place. Cliff is to be a pawn while Jess is his target.

Jess cries some more. They should show her falling in the HoH comp again to prove her point.

Christie would prefer Jess stay and Cliff go because she thinks Cliff and Jackson are her biggest obstacles who might thwart a win for her.
