BB21: Live Feeds into Friday Morning - July 5

Knows Jack won't target her

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Problematic Possums:

• Well, well, well … where to begin?
• Yeah, they played cornhole, made a slip 'n slide, BB threw them a party (that was blocked to the live feeds by critter cam) and it all looked like such fun.
• So, it was a great July 4th holiday for all … right?
• Nuh-uh. Nope.
• Apparently the house will have some sort of tie-in with Love Island (which is SO something I will NOT be watching) as they talked about it. 
• Since the commercials didn't start until after the hamsters were in sequester and they even know about it in the UK … we can expect something on BB.
• Gah. MAKE THOSE COMMERCIALS FOR IT STOP WHILE I TRY TO WATCH BB! They're creeping me out!
• Ahem.
• In other problematic news from the house, I'm disappointed with my man Cliff. Not only is he allowing himself to be bamboozled and think Michie (Jackson, still adjusting to his last name) and Holly are in an alliance with him … he's on that inexplicable Hate Train against David.
• Not only has he made several comments about disliking him and how evil he is, he had a conversation with Tommy that I found very disturbing.
• In the bathroom, Tommy told him there was some pee on the floor and David was the last one in there. Cliff said he'd pee on the floor and they could blame it on David.
• What? WHAT? I honestly thought Cliff was above that. Sigh.
• In other problematic news -- the Jacks were talking and both either said a racial slur … or not. They were talking quietly and there was a lot of background noise. I personally can't tell exactly what was said. It could have been the word "neither" or another word.
• I guess it was another word.
• Both were brought into the Diary Room separately and apparently warned by production.
• Neither is supposed to talk about it.
• But they did, at least a little bit.
• Jack, already apparently warned once about his mouth, is taking it in stride. He is going to be who he is, no matter what. He says he'll find out in 84 days whet people think of him … and he doesn't really care.
• Michie, on the other hand, is very upset. I'm thinking he might be thinking of what his family will think and repercussions out in the real world.
• But, at the end of the day (as hamsters say) he seems to think it's all David's fault and now he hates him even more.
• Well, at least it does seem to have made some sort of impression on the both of them. I think neither will really change, though.
• I'm still not getting why they all consider David the villain of the season.
• Yes, in watching him (since we never saw him actually playing in the house, I think he could very well be a shrewd player. 
• He sat in on the meeting with Jack getting everyone to agree not to talk game with him.
• Yet it looks like he's got Kat fawning all over him and telling him alliances and such.
• David is making attempts to hang out with the others and get involved with conversations and such.
• Yesterday and last night, he was definitely around them all more than we saw Ovi. He's much more social than Ovi despite Ovi's college day social success.
• I've come to the conclusion that David IS dangerous. He's a dangerous competitor who could very well win the game if he can get back in and the jury isn't full of hate for him.
• So, yeah … he's dangerous in that aspect. 
• But I just don't see mean, evil, villain or anything like that.   

I don't care what they say

Awkward convo with David about Love Island

Many of us are aghast, Nicole

I still don't understand the hate

Am I boring you? Okay, I'm out!

BB21: Live Feeds into Thursday Morning - July 4

Yes, I hope everyone is having a great holiday!

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Nefarious Nincompoops:

• Ah, where to start …
• Jessica was in tears after the HoH comp. She came SO close to winning and wants to see family photos and get a letter from home.
• She feels she let her family down.
• She's upset that Jack won, not because he might (probably will) target her for eviction, but because … who's he going to get a letter from or photos of? His dog?
• Y'see, Jack either didn't ask anyone to sign releases or they refused. I'm really not sure which.
• That's a first for the show that family hasn't signed releases.
• Apparently, he did get the person sitting his dog to sign a release and that's who sent him a letter. He got all choked up. Um. Okay. Whatever.
• Jack went and called a house meeting telling everyone that they shouldn't talk any game strategy with Ovi or David.
• Now, he did that with David right there.
• As Cliff says, everyone is scared to go up against the group, so all agreed.
• David is already on the hit list even if he can't play the game.
• Holly, in particular, is stirring up problems again … this time with David as her target. 
• She claims he's already hitting on the girls.
• The Jacks think he's totally dangerous.
• Heck, even Cliff thinks he's problematic. 
• I SO wish we could have seen the first few hours of the live feeds to see what David could have done to gain such a reputation in such a short period of time.
• I looked back at my pre-show interview impression of David and I didn't see him as dangerous in any way, a recruit and that I thought his strategy of laying low would fall apart. I was right about the last, I guess.
• While I was there, I also peeked at what I said about Kat -- wants to be the center of attention and full of herself.
• Heh.
• Back to Cliff talking about David -- he says David was already spending alone time with Kat, most likely to bother Michie as in "stealing his girl."
• (I have trouble calling Jackson "Michie" -- I either want to spell it like Mouse or pronounce It in my head with a soft "ch". Please bear with me.)
• I think Kat just wants to be in a showmance with anyone she can.
• Michie seems to be sorry he ever was nice to her. She's too needy.
• Shortly after the live show ended, Michie did take David aside in the storage room to apologize for the banishment thing.
• Both agreed that David, of the ones in the comp, should have been the most likely to win his way back.
• David laughed, smiled and was polite.
• But, yeah. I think he'll hold it against him. And, if he gets himself back in the game, the Jacks will both be targets.
• Nicole told Ovi that she does plan to talk game with him and then went on to tell him how the Jacks and Nick played him. She cried because she thought she betrayed him.
• Ovi, to his credit, consoled her and isn't bitter at all. If he doesn't get back in, he still wants to work with both Cliff and her to further their games the best he can.
• Ovi told Cliff about being student body president at his university. While Cliff still wants to work with him, he's now very leery -- doesn't want to be in the final two with him because his politics/debating skills must be very strong.
• Cliff THINKS he has an alliance with Holly and Michie.
• Tsk, tsk … I thought you thought better than that, Cliff.
• They see you as a vote.
• Just like you see Kat.
• Jack's talk of who he will nominate were ones I could have predicted last night -- Jessica and Kemi.
• We all knew Kemi was a given.
• Of course, now they need to think of players who might come back when they vote someone out.
• "Sometimes the dead come back. And, they're not the same" -- Stephen King paraphrase.
• Because of the screwy holiday schedule, I'm not sure when Nominations will be.
• Oh … and no one is mentioning the Whacktivity.
• Laters!

BB21: First Live Eviction (?) Show Blog Party - July 3

Did you catch that question mark in my post title? It's there because the show promos are saying, "The first live eviction … or not." Hmm. Supposedly another big twist is to be announced tonight. It's not the Whacktivity as that has already been announced and seems to be Sunday night show fodder. Hmm. I just don't know.

We have Ovi and Kat on the block tonight going into the live eviction … or not.

Lifeguard SueGee has updated the blog pool and you can find it  on THIS POST LINKED HERE. We still don't know what's going on with David. It's likely he's sequestered somewhere.

I'll be live-blogging the major events of the show tonight as it airs here on the East Coast. As I'll be constantly updating this entry, you'll need to refresh this post to get the latest news. As always, the real party is in the comments area. I hope to see you there!

Julie, looking svelte for the first time this season, promises us a live twist that will send our heads spinning. Then we're into the previously on …

Kat or Ovi will be leaving tonight … or will they?

Day 15. first time ever, evicted houseguest will not be going home. They'll continue living in the house. Um. Okay.

But first … we get to hear from Christie why Ovi and not Kat should go. Kat herself feels she has a better chance to stay than if against Cliff. Christie is telling both Ovi and Kat they're pawns. She isn't sure how things will work out.

Ovi is really upset. We know how much he wants to be in the house even if Christie doesn't. Jack would rather Kemi go home, but Ovi was on "our" hit list, too … so he can go home. (That's Jack speaking, not me.) Cliff tells Ovi that he's on his side. Ovi needs more votes and feels he needs to campaign. The Jacks lie to him. Kemi lies to him (she wants girl power). Then to Nicole. She tells him she's on her side but looks upset when saying it.

Kat is getting paranoid. They play clips of her saying people are conspiring against her. Many clips. The clips turn to Christie and Jack discussing Kat's paranoia. Into a teaser about a secret being revealed.

Cut to commercial but first … Julie asks who will be voted out? They'll be out of the game but not out of the house.

Julie tells us it's too late for Ovi's Nightmare Power to save him … or is it. He sees the votes are going to be iffy. Then … he proposes to Jack/Jackson because he thinks they have sway in the game and he tells them of the Power. He says how long it lasts and what it does. If they keep him safe this week, he will keep them safe next week if they go on the block. 

Jack is all excited. Michie/Jackson not as much. They realize that it's very possible that they will both be nominated. Jack really wants to go for it. Even Jackson is leaning that way. It's definitely not an automatic no to the deal.

To the living room and live vote:
Ovi: Love all, not ready to leave, not done learning, loyalty, cookies, will represent all that you love in the house
Kat: You know where I stand, loyal to those who are loyal to me, will find out if the bitches were really conspiring against me.

The votes to evict:
Analyse - Ovi
Nick - Ovi
Tommy - Ovi
Jessica - Ovi
Holly - Ovi
Jack - Ovi
Michie - Ovi
Nicole - Ovi
Bella - Ovi
Cliff - Ovi
Sam - Ovi
Kemi - Ovi

SHEEP!!! Unanimous. And, into commercial. Julie tells us Camp Comeback will officially open next.

Unleash next big twist. Speech is normal. Goodbyes are normal. BUGLE! Camp ComeBaxk is NOW OPEN! Ovi has to put his mic back on. Julie tells them that the evicted will be living with them, no comps, no vote. An uncomfortable cabin upstairs. Must play social game. One of the first four evicted will get the chance to come back. Ovi can listen to the comp.

DAVID is BACK, too! He's been in sequester. He will be in camp with Ovi.

TOO MANY LOVE ISLAND COMMERCIALS. MAKE THEM STOP. NO, I WILL NOT BE WATCHING. HELP! HELP!

The HoH comp has the backyard all in red, white and blue. They're in booths. BB Fireworks Quiztacular. Watch fireworks answer red, white or blue. Seven questions.

1. Most fireworks were … blue. All right.
2. Last house-shape firework … white. Nick out.
3. Most of key shaped … red. Tommy, Holly, Kat out.
4. Second to last firework … blue. Analyse, Isabella, Kemi, Cliff and Sam out.
5. Most of the star fireworks … white. Nicole, Michie out.
6. Most emoji faced … red. Both Jess/Jack right
7. Fewest fireworks color … blue.

JACK is the new HOH. 

Sigh. Not who I wanted at all.

To a talk with Ovi and David. Ovi is not bitter. I like the kid. David is curious to see how Jackson will handle his return.

BB21: Live Feeds into Wednesday Morning - July 3

Tommy's choreography sessions

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Waffles and Chicken(s):

• Now, I appreciate Tommy's efforts to entertain. But all these group activities are wearing thin on me.
• The only thing I really liked about the dance session was Cliff's attempts, mainly in the background.
• Kat took to the dancing better than she's taking to the game of Big Brother.
• They've been on indoor lockdown due to a comp being erected in the yar.
• So, at least there wasn't hours of them sunning.
• Instead, it was hours of waffling.
• It really bugs me that all these folks who like Ovi and think he's more deserving to stay than Kat are SHEEP.
• This voting with the house bit is beyond annoying.
• Make waves, hamsters! Go for it!
• The decision, mainly by the Jacks and Christie, keeps waffling back and forth but is overall more for Kat staying.
• They're lying to Ovi about things.
• Cliff tried to hint to him that it's probably going to be him out and that he (Cliff) will warn him if that's the case … and probably vote with the house decision.
• Groan.
• Bella had a long and somewhat condescending talk with Ovi. I think she didn't mean for it to be condescending, but I felt it was that way. She did talk from her heart.
• In the talk, Ovi pretty much admitted he had little chance to stay -- he called it 95/100 odds he would go home.
• But he still wanted to see if he could change that five percent chance.
• She advised him that people were tired of him campaigning, but offered little else he could do.
• Ovi himself thought of something he could do … and perhaps his only way to stay in the house.
• What if … what if he bargained with the power he cannot use to save himself this week?
• And, if he could … who to approach?
• He thinks he has Cliff, Sam, Bella and Nicole (he doesn't really, they're sheep).
• How can he get the most bang for the buck with his bargaining chip?
• Why … the Jacks -- Jack and Jackson (Michie)
• He approached them, told them about his Nightmare Power, how long it's good for and told them if they kept him in the house, since they're going to be likely targets for eviction, he'd use it to take them off the block.
• He told them to keep it secret.
• Of course, they ran and told Christie who got miffed because Ovi didn't tell her!
• But, Ovi is right in thinking the Jacks will be more targeted than Christie.
• While I personally prefer the Jacks get targeted, I can't blame Ovi for this move.
• It's his only option to stay at this point.
• Kat is not basket case this week, so depending on that is thrown out the window. Or, as I love to say, defenestrated.
• And, the Jacks are the perfect solution. They're both manipulative and kind of scare many hamsters. If the Jacks push for Ovi to stay, it's quite likely he will.
• While Christie may think it's too strong of a power to keep Ovi in the house, she might not really have a say. She won't be able to vote unless there's a tie.
• Ovi, like Cliff, has been having long talks with the live feeders.
• He told us his intent is to keep his promise -- they shook hands on the deal, after all.
• But he also said he'd deal with that bridge when he comes to it.
• Other than keeping him in the house and the promise to save the Jacks, it's basically a win-win for him.
• If he stays and they put him on the block in original nominations, of course it could be used to save himself.
• We'll have to see how all this unfolds in tonight's live eviction.
• But I do think it's the best straw he can grasp to save his game at this point.

BB21: July 2nd Episode Blog Party

Tonight should be the Power of Veto comp as well as the Veto Meeting. Once again, live feed observers already know those results -- please no spoilers until they air on the show! Thank you!

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

Previously on and all …

Veto, Kaycee and cracks in the main alliance are promised.

We pick up the action after the nominations ceremony. Christie tells us Cliff is the pawn. Kat thinks she's the pawn and is a bit arrogant about it. Cliff, on the other hand, is worried that he needs to win the veto.

Bella and Kemi are talking showmances. They're clicking … probably more than the showmances. 

The Eight are feeling so great about themselves. Christie is worried that Bella is getting too close to Kemi. Jack thinks Kemi should be backdoored. 

Kat is flirting with Jackson. He tells us him Mom would kill him and he wants NO showmances. He then thinks Kat is hot. Jackson and Kat smooch in the dark. 

Christie tells us her alliance wants Kemi out. But she thinks that Kat is more interested in Jackson than playing the game/working with the alliance.

Veto players pick time. Christie randomly draws Sam. Cliff picks Houseguest's Choice and goes for Jack. Kat gets Nicole.

The doorbell rings … and it's KAYCEE! One of Tommy's favorite players ever! It's time for the comp and she will be hosting.

In the backyard, there's messy food everywhere. Camp BB Mess Hall. It's a food fight. They must save Kaycee's favorite food as it's thrown at them. First its onions. Salad is coming down on them. Cliff is up first. Meatballs are next. Marinara sauce is being shot at them during meatballs. Round three -- slide down table and catch strawberries for ten points each. 

Christie and Kat don't seem to be doing much better than Cliff. Jack isn't doing too great either. Nicole? Nope, not her comp for sure!

Christie 10
Jack 20
Cliff 0
Kat 0
Nicole 0
Sam 21

SAM wins the Power of Veto! Both Christie and Jack are concerned because Sam isn't a part of their alliance of eight.

Sam wants to take Cliff off. He knows whatever he does will affect his game. He thinks Cliff is more trustworthy and deserves to stay. Christie and Jack talk about taking out Kemi first, then Jessica and Ovi in that order. Christie isn't too thrilled that Jack is dictating what they'll do.

Mick trusts Bella and thinks she's awesome. 

Christie thinks Kemi isn't bad for her own game and she likes her. Nick, after talking to Bella, decides to talk to Christie about not putting Kemi on the block. 

Christie is in a quandary. She doesn't want to put up Kemi. Jack is being pretty demanding about putting Kemi on the block. That's not really working with her at all. She ends up going to her buddy Tommy and telling him her problems. She wishes Sam wouldn't use the veto. She likes Kemi a lot. She thinks Jack is playing everyone and using her to do the dirty work. Nicole actually joined them in the room so she's getting all this intel as Christie cries and calls Jack manipulative. She didn't come to play the Jack Show! 

Christie talks to Sam. She doesn't want to put Kemi up and hopes he won't use the veto. She cries to him over it. He's confused why Kemi is the plan. Christie tells him Jack strong armed everyone in the group because he had some squabble with Kemi. She tells him Cliff will be safe. Sam tells us he already promised to use the veto on Cliff. He is interested in the group which he isn't a part in. He wants to find some sort of middle ground. Someone else … Ovi enters and tells them dinner is ready. Sam thinks Ovi? \

She tells us she could make a big move and put up Jack or put up Ovi who doesn't really seem to have an alliance and gets along with everybody or put up Kemi as per Jack's orders.

Veto meeting time! Sam saves Cliff. YAY! Applause from the hamsters. Christie puts Ovi up on the block acting like it's spur of the moment -- she wants to go for a guy and a girl. Ovi, I'm so sorry, I'm going to go for you right now. It's not anything personal.  

Poor Ovi. He thought he was in an alliance with Christie. He can't use his Nightmare Power as it's only good after Nominations.

Jack is angry that Christie dared not go with the nominate Kemi plan.

Tomorrow is the live eviction!
