BB21: Live Feeds into Saturday Night - June 29

Hammock talk

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Mislead Miscreants:

• Still no veto meeting. Normally it's on Mondays. But with the Tuesday show, it might be moved up.
• Or not.
• In BB8 we had Dick at Night talking to us. In BB21 we have Cliff Notes every morning. I like hamsters who talk to us!
• Sam still intends on pulling Cliff off the block with the veto.
• Meanwhile, Christie keeps waffling.
• She's said over and over again that Kemi (the planned backdoor) is not a problem for her own game.
• She knows there's rumbling of people flipping the vote, voting Kat out instead of Kemi.
• Kat is getting on everybody's nerves.
• It seems like even her shoulder to cry on Jackson is getting weary of her.
• Christie keeps saying she needs to get away from Jack.
• Yet every time he talks to her, all of a sudden she's on board with his Kemi out pushing.
• Jack is still falling out of favor with most in the house.
• While out in the yard, he actually told Ovi he was fat.
• I don't know. Seems to me Ovi has a lot on the ball in his personal life, a dedicated girlfriend, a family who loves him.
• Holly got livid over the fat shaming.
• At one point, Jack himself realized he was sinking his own boat.
• Will it stop him? Nah. He doesn't seem to recognize how mean and aggressive he can be.
• The hamsters put aside their issues and all gathered together to hold a funeral for the deceased fish.
• They though BB would do something about the fish tank, but it didn't look like they did anything.
• Ovi, obviously out of the loop, voiced concern to Christie that he might be put on the block as a replacement nomination.
• She neither confirmed nor denied. She said she doesn't even know if Sam will use the veto.
• Sam hinted to Christie that it's Jack who wants Kemi out and perhaps Jack should go. Christie thinks it's too early to do that and Jack's such a strong player. Sam pointed out that Jack hasn't won anything.
• Christie cried.
• Kat cried and is now angry that Jackson isn't supporting her every whimper.
• Jackson told others that Kat is a basket case.
• She is.
• Alliance of eight? BWAHAHAHAHA!
• This crew will be lucky to keep an alliance of two for more than a week!
• Meanwhile, Nicole is really riding under the radar. I'm liking her more and more.
• I feel Christie will buckle under Jack's will and put Kemi up.
• But that just might change.

Decontaminating … er, sunscreen

Ew. They're passing that bottle around

One moment smiles, the next ...

Holly is defending Ovi now

BB21: Live Feeds into Saturday - June 29

Like huge Orwell Owl eyes, creepy!

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Loquacious Louts:

• The plan to use Kemi as the replacement nom and evict her is the plan once again.
• The veto meeting still hasn't been held.
• But it's still Sam's intention to save Cliff with the veto.
• I'm onboard with that particular plan although I'm not so keen on backdooring Kemi. I just don't see the reason to do so. I'm more for them evicting Kat or … just dreaming here … backdooring Jack.
• My dream won't happen.
• I just find Kat to be very needy. Sure, she is on the block. But, still …! With Jack, I just can't really pinpoint it. He just comes across to me as full of himself and used to having people kowtow to him. That rubs me the wrong way.
• Although we don't know when the veto meeting will be, the hamsters expect Whacttivity on Monday since the first one was last Monday.
• All I can glean is that it gives the winner some kind of power. No one has been confirmed as the winner of the last one and I haven't caught any mention of what the power is.
• Oh … just a reminder -- due to the holiday this week, the show is on Tuesday and Wednesday nights. The next week it shifts to Wednesday and Thursday nights. Of course, the Sunday show remains Sunday and probably delayed often by sports.
• Back to the feeds …
• Holly's behavior continues to be erratic. She went from picking on Ovi to now focusing on Bella. She's saying that Kemi is taking the fall for Bella. I just don't see that. I think Holly is going to continue to instigate rifts as long as she remains in the house. Hmm.
• Christie continues to distance herself from Jack. If they wouldn't cut the feeds and she was old enough to know the song … I'd love for her to nominate him while singing "Hit the Road, Jack."
• Okay, I'll stop singing. While she's squashing any showmance, she's not about to nominate him.
• Meanwhile, Bella told her showmancer Nick that she would love a final four with him, Tommy and Christie.
• No, the Tommy/Christie connection is still being kept secret.
• And, alliances seem all over the place.
• Christie is still worried that Kemi might have more support to stay than they think. She wants Kemi to go away if she puts her on the block. She really doesn't want her remaining in the house and targeting her.
• Then don't put her up, I say.
• The fist are mounting a protest and two have died for the cause.
• (Yes, they have been feeding them. They think something might be wrong with the water.)
• Of course, if they had tarantulas like they had the one season, fish wouldn't be dying in that house!
• Kemi is suspicious and feels she will be backdoored. Sigh.
• It's out and about that Nick is a child therapist. Yet, the truth is doubted. Christie, Analyse and Holly think it's a like because he still lives at home. They think he's some kind of poker hustler.
• That's pretty much where we're at right now.

He needs to stay! He talks to us!

Dang, some lighting in there is lacking!

Smile for the camera

Kat is emotionally dependent on him

It seems like we've been here forever!

BB21: Live Feeds into Fridaay Evening - June 28

Yeah, I'm always all that, just don't know what

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Hapless Hamsters:

• With the yard opening today, I expect more group activities!
• Oh yeah … fun for all! I just love to watch groups of people exercise.
• Yes, that's sarcasm.
• Watching people lay about in the sun is always such fun. 
• Er … no.
• Sam told Kathryn that he plans to use the veto … and not on her. So, she's still freaking. Christie assured her she'd be safe.
• Safe at HOME maybe! Heh.
• Bella, under the assumption that Kemi will go on the block thinks that she should get at least one sympathy vote.
• Oh, that's so kind of her! Isn't it?
• An interesting item to note -- apparently Jack had no releases signed by family or friends. I wonder if his dog paw-printed a release so he'll have at least one family member in photos if he wins HoH.
• Sam and Christie talked about him using the veto. He definitely thinks Cliff deserves to stay in the house and will use it on him.
• Christie once again indicated she'd be putting Kemi up, telling her it's nothing person and house-based.
• That will go over well, I think.
• Bella is not only in a rather unexpected showmance with Nick, she seems to be Holly's new target (taking place of Ovi?).
• Holly told Analyse that if Bella was on the block with Kat, Bella would go home.
• Hmm.
• Meanwhile, it's not certain at all that Christie will put Kemi on the block. In a talk with Jessica and Nicole, she mentioned it might look bad if the first two out of the house are black. She doesn't want to be perceived as a racist or make it seem like a race-based decision. Jessica said it would look very bad. Nicole agreed.
• So, there's that. We'll see … even if she does go on the block, both Nick and Bella would want Kemi to stay over Kat. There are others, too. She might have the votes to stay.
• If she does stay, Christie would have one really ticked-off Kemi living with her.
• I'm personally thinking putting Jack on the block, telling him he's a pawn, would be best.
• Heh.

This will cut down on game talk

Nickabella, not a couple I imagined

Yes, Nicole is in the house!

Side-eye alert!

I miss hours of Ian

BB21: Live Feeds into Fri. Morning - June 28

Girls who twirl together um ...

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Group Activities:

• They did that human knot stuff the night before last
• So, last night they all (or almost all) gathered around the table playing a game about "I'm going on a road trip and I'm bringing _____" Each person would name an item and the next person would name all the items in order and add their own.
• First off, I'd suck at that. Second, while it could be a bit funny at times, it was tedious and long-lasting … and had nothing to do with game.
• For some reason, they all get irked by Ovi giving a neck or shoulder massage but practically everyone else is touchy feely. Ovi seemed to be missing from the group game in the kitchen unless I just didn't notice him because they were boring me.
• I notice the house has the same cooler I have. I think they must owe me royalties.
• The "plan" was to backdoor Kemi.
• That is, until now. Christie is having second thoughts about it all.
• After a visit to the Diary Room, she's questioning the wisdom of possibly ticking off Kemi and then Kemi stays.
• She says Kemi has never done anything to her. It just didn't seem right.
• Her original personal plan had been to evict Kat. She's now thinking that she should probably stick to that.
• Even though Kat has been saying she misses her friends and wants to go home, in the next breath she wants to stay.
• Sam is still thinking he wants to save Cliff with the veto.
• I still like those thoughts.
• Meanwhile, some of the girls (in particular) are getting more irked by Jack's attitude that he has everyone wrapped around his finger.
• Would it be possible to get him out this early?
• I don't know.
• If Cliff is taken off the block and she really wants Kat to go, she shouldn't put up Kemi. Or Ovi. Either of those two would make Kat going quite iffy.
• She won't put Tommy up. We know that.
• I think it would be interesting if she put Jackson up saying he opened a can of worms by going after the Camp Director role so hard and his actions as such, plus he and Kat are a "power couple" and need to be split up.
• Heehee. That won't happen but I'd still get a kick out of it!
• Kat has indeed turned her crying neediness to Jackson. He doesn't seem to mind at all.
• I mentioned in my first feeds report that someone snores really loudly. Apparently it's Ovi. Hmm. Maybe he should get nominated! I don't think I've ever heard a louder snorer on the live feeds!
• I guess I was mistaken in my last report. She did say blindside, but now Kat is all worried and going to Christie about being "backdoored."
• I stand on my statement -- if she is voted out, it will neither be a blindside nor a backdoor.
• The Christie/Jack coupling is SO over.
• Christie is starting to come out to others that she's into girls and she doesn't want to be coupled with Jack at all.
• Hmm. One of the people she told is Kemi.
• It seems to be a consensus that Jack is not all he thinks he is. However, I don't think Analyse is right in thinking he'll be easy to get out later. That endurance comp they had is a bad one to judge his skills. Really big guys are never good at them -- too much body weight, big feet.
• Even though Ovi is on the outs with Holly and Company, both Christie and Analyse trust him more than they do Jack and some of the others.
• So … no more Jack/Christie showmance, Kat/Jackson a thing. Nick has told too many people about his actual therapy job, Holly likes to instigate problems most notably about Ovi, Christie is waffling about putting Kemi on the block, Kat is freaking out and crying backdoor when it isn't, Jack's all that an a bag of chips is getting stale, Tommy and Christie maintain secrecy over knowing each other, Bella thinks Jack and Christie should move in together after the show, Ovi is trusted by some even if they don't seem to like him, Sam really wants to save Cliff with the veto.
• Got it?
• Right now Cliff is the only one up. He's having breakfast and talking to Orwell and us. I want him saved this week! 

Kemi consoles Kat, imagine that!

Ovi next to MY cooler! 

Cliff looks like a different person sans hat

Rubadubdub, three men in a … boat

Jackson and Kathryn @@

BB21: Live Feeds into Thurs. Evening - June 27

What? Me worry?

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Wanton Whackadoodles:

• As I mentioned in the earlier veto bulletin, the feeds were blocked for over seven hours. Yeah, that's a big chunk of the day for sure!
• If you didn't catch it -- Sam won the veto.
• It's sounding like he wants to save Cliff with it. 
• I wish he would. It really isn't right to put one much older than the rest person in there each year only to have them be instant targets.
• Plus, I think Cliff has game in him. I want to see him play!
• To be honest, I'd have no problem with Kathryn going home. She's already cried too much.
• Although Tommy was chosen to host the comp, it sounds like Kaycee from BB20 hosted it or had something to do with it. 
• The comp sounds like it will be fun to watch. Now I know there were 18 onions.
• In their talks, they were saying it was set up kind of like a school lunchroom and they were diving over/under tables. It apparently was done individually and as they completed, they were sequestered away in different rooms.
• There were strawberries and meatballs involved as well.
• Hmm.
• Oh, speaking of comps -- apparently that first Whacktivity comp Julie mentioned has already played out.
• They're not really mentioning it, though. From what little I can grasp, it's one of those that the winner doesn't reveal unless he or she wants to tell.
• I guess we'll find out Sunday on the show.
• It's obvious that Kathryn isn't too familiar with the terminology of the show -- she told Holly (while crying) that she thinks she's being blindsided. 
• Um, no. She was an original nomination. She had the chance to win the veto and save herself. If she gets voted out, it's not a blindside. Heck, even if she was told she's a pawn (which I don't think anyone said), it still wouldn't be a blindside. A blindside is when the plan is to evict someone who has no opportunity to play for veto or save himself, always a renom.
• Oh, wait. She didn't say backdoor. She said blindside. Nah, she still isn't being blindsided either -- she'll go if she keeps freaking out about going. Otherwise they just might blindside someone else!
• Plus, if she's expecting a blindside, she won't be blindsided about it. Heehee.
• Sam and Nick want to form an alliance with Jack, Analyse and Christie.
• Of course, Sam and Nick have no idea of any other alliances.
• Ovi is still not really a part of anything going on in the house other than Holly's complaints about him.
• He tries to mix and mingle but nothing seems to be really clicking for him.
• Nicole is another odd one out a bit.
• Hmm. Those two both really know the game. They should team up together.
• Kemi is coming around and mingling more. I don't know if Jackson told her the reason he chose her for banishment was because everyone else talked to him but her. Whether or not he told her, it seems she is understanding she can't play the game as a lone wolfette.
• Bella has been teaching people Chinese. She's also a bit onto Cliff -- she told Kathryn that she thinks he's a lot smarter than he's letting on.
• I think we're going to see a pretty shrewd player in Bella.
• Either that or she'll crash and burn.
• One or the other.
• Cliff is definitely more in with at least some of the guys than Ovi is in with anybody, guys or gals.
• He and Nick talked. Cliff told Nick he's trying to distance himself from Ovi because it seems like Ovi is alienating himself and he doesn't want to be caught in that.
• Nick said if he wins HOH next week, he thinks he'd put Ovi up because something just isn't right with the way he's acting.
• Hmm.
• Even though Kathryn doesn't know if the veto will be used or not, in between crying and then saying she's okay, she says she wants to go home. 
• So, send her. No skin off my nose.
• Okay, I'll stop being mean.
• Right now it's not sure who the replacement nom will be if/when Sam takes Cliff off the block.
• We also don't know when the veto meeting will be held.
• On the "don't know" note, I bid you adieu for the night ... 

I'll be chill when I'm not crying

Is Sam shouting? Of course he is.

We'll call our alliance the Fugazi Five

Checkers, no chess!
