BB21: Live Feeds into Mon. Afternoon, POV Meeting - July 8

I never understand knit beanies inside

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Slimy Snakes:

• Welp, of course the biggest news is the veto meeting.
• But it's not really news news.
• It was pretty much expected in view of the sheep strategy of the season so far.
• Sam did NOT use the veto, so Kemi and Jess remain on the block. One will join Ovi and David in Camp ComeBack this week.
• I'm still holding out hope on a thread about Sam. He's proven he can win comps and, technically, he's not part of the Jacks Eight. Oh. I'm sorry -- That's the Gr8tful. Whatever. Sam did what he wanted to do in saving Cliff last week. But, trying to think like him a moment -- he doesn't really have any strong bonds with either Jess, nor Kemi. In that light, it might have been better for his own game not to use it.
• I guess.
• I'm very curious what he'd do if he were to win an HOH. Sam gets along with everybody in the house, yet isn't really tight with anyone.
• In other news, I don't report on sexcapades. Just not my style and I keep this blog rated family friendly even when the live feeds and the show might not be.
• Now, Kemi and Nicole are indeed tight. I'd rather Kemi stay over Jess for maybe just that reason. Plus, she has more insight into what's going on in the house although she doesn't necessarily know how to stop it.
• She was telling Nicole that she can't understand why everyone's just following Jack.
• You tell me, Kemi, and we'll both know.
• Jackson, er, Michie thinks he's very mature for his age.
• Cough.
• He's still reminding me of Charlie Sheen somehow. We just need a clip of him saying, "Winning! Winning!"
• Kemi and Jess talked about being on the block together. Jess says that she will do nothing to hurt her reputation and dignity (wish more felt that way this season). Kemi said that, while she will campaign to stay in the house, the campaign will be all about her merits -- she will not drag Jess through the mud.
• They're handling the situation quite well between them.
• Jack told Christie about his Whactivity win. 
• At least Ovi told no one until it became his last option to try to stay in the game. Even though that didn't work out, at that time I thought it was a good move. It didn't look like he had anything to lose (before Camp ComeBack was announced).
• Hmm … this is interesting -- Michie followed/then unfollowed Holly on Instagram for a while due to some girl he was dating. She was also aware that he was following her. Hmm.
• Holly and Kat talked about how Jess is both bad at the game and trying to ruin Bella's game. They think she's trying to throw Bella under the bus.
• Um. I think Jess should try to throw her under the freight train. Bella did her so wrong. Bella is a sneak.
• Meanwhile, Michie is telling Bella that, with all the talk Jess is doing about her, he'd like to vote her out instead of Kemi. But, of course, he'll go with whatever the alliance wants.
• David and Ovi have created their own ComeBack alliance, sharing intel about alliances or such. They really want one of them to win the game. Or, at the very least, someone representing brown or black.
• Both Holly and Michie think Jack is acting like a dictator.
• Wasn't Christie playing that song last week?
• Yet no one will make a move against him.
• Sigh.
• Michie hurt his ankle in the PoV the other day and it's still bothering him.
• I hope this week's HOH is physical comp.
• Yeah, I'm mean like that.

I could cut hair that well!

"Jess, I'll campaign for me, not against you."

Don't get so excited about the food!

Um. I'm not sure what to say.

Not quite where he thought he'd be.

BB21: July 7 Nominations Show Blog Party

Tonight we should see Whactivity and Nominations, not necessarily in that order. We can only wonder if the elephant in the room at the BB house will be addressed.

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

Oh, great. We start off with "hotness." And, we're just on the "previously on."

We pick up with them checking out the Camp ComeBack room. Jack thinks he needs to mend fences and do damage control with Ovi. David tells them talks of his forest game, then tells us he's going to work his social game. Ovi says he'll come back with a vengeance. Kat actually feels safe. 

Jackson/Michie thinks David will target him because he's the one who banished him. They talk in the storage room. While David is taking it well with Michie, David tells us that it's his social game on. Michie also tries to make good with Ovi. Ovi is either working a good social game or he honestly thinks he might be able to make a deal with Michie. @@

The Jacks meet up. Michie tells Jack that Ovi will still work with them. They both grunt.

David talks to Kat, the first one to approach him alone. He tells her he needs to know what's going on. She tells us she'd rather have him on her side since he might come back. She goes and tells him there's no alliances. He tells her knows there are. It's not sitting well with him.

Nicole has a heart to heart with Ovi, being truthful about who was working against him. Unlike the Kat/David talk, this one is sincere. He honestly felt he could trust Jack/Michie. Now he feels totally betrayed.

Chaos activity - Jack, Sam, Tommy, Holly, Michie

It's SNAKES (how fitting). Surrounded by snakes, three special ones in front of you, you must find a match, pick it up and put in container next to its match. The comp in named For Goodness Snakes. Tommy names them. He's terrified of snakes. He tries to personalize each one. He got them on what appears to be his first try. 

Then it's Sam doing it. He's not as entertaining as Tommy was. First try? Holly isn't great with the snakes, either. First try? Then it was Michie's turn.  Then Jack's turn. Tommy was the most entertaining. 

Jack wins it. Sigh. He doesn't seem to be telling anyone. With the power he can force a new veto picking, can force a new draw for veto players during veto picking.

They have to gather in the living room, a special surprise for them. It's Brett! And some others -- Swaggy, Bayleigh and Winston. It's a promo for Love Island. Gag me now. I have nothing to say about it. They also announce that the veto winner will win a trip to Fiji. 

"The juice isn't worth the squeeze anymore." -- Michie about Kat.

Michie wants to put his attention into Holly. Oh, and his alliance. He's ready to cast Kat to the curb. He tells us that Kat's a burden while Holly can add to his game. He wants to do what's best for himself.

Michie tells Kat that he's worried their relationship is bringing red flags about them. He doesn't want to be in a showmance. She brings up that he spends more time with Holly. He cuts her right off. She tells us that she's not into him. 

Bella is with Kemi, Nicole and Jess and she seriously thinks the womens alliance will work. The Black Widows. Kemi thinks the only one she can really trust is Bella. They seem to like the thought, but they don't seem real solid as in having each other's backs. 

Of course, the Black Widow alliance gets outed to Jack. He was already thinking he wanted to put Kemi and Jess on the block -- this is more ammunition. Jess goes to talk to him. He tells her he heard she's the head of an all girls alliance. She wants to know who told. It was her loyal ally Bella. Go figure.

Time for the Nominations Ceremony. Camp ComeBack watches on their black and white television. Jack nominates Kemi, then Jess. Respect their games and them as people. Heard they would put him on the block, formed an alliance without him in it.

We get the usual "I will win veto" talk from the nominees.

BB21: Live Feeds into Sunday Afternoon - July 7

I had higher hopes for his behavior.

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Ill Repute:

• Y'know … maybe I'm a prude or something.
• But I never can understand ANYONE having sex in the BB House knowing their parents may be watching, their grandparents may be watching, people all over the Internet are watching (and talking about them). 
• I know it's happened many times before.
• But, I do not watch the live feeds to see stupid people "hook-up."
• I don't care that they say living in there seems like they've known each other longer.
• Where is their self-respect? Where is their dignity?
• Sigh.
• So, just for those who care -- Kat/Jackson, Analyse/Jack, Nick/Bella.
• I just don't know about this season. 
• I'm just glad I don't depend on the show to make a living. Readership is down. Ratings on the show itself are down. Donations to the blog are very down. *A special thank you to those who have donated.
• Then there's the racism aspect this season, too.
• We wonder how they don't pick up on those traits in the interview process.
• Well, maybe it's because it just might be inherent in production.
• Kemi was talking to Sam and Nicole about how the Diary Room wanted her to talk and act more like what they apparently perceive a young black woman would talk and gesture like.
• Well, kudos for her! She told them she's never talked that way.
• Good.
• David's been cleaning a lot. I didn't catch that he is supposed to be like a janitor or maid in the Camp ComeBack bit. So, if not, he's doing it on his own.
• Oh, that evil nefarious David … cleaning up messes! How dare he!
• Kat, though she is a bit loose-lipped about her talks with David, continues to try to get others to realize he's nice.
• I think it's falling on deaf ears.
• Ovi, Cliff and Nicole have an alliance. Um. One of them technically isn't in the game.
• So far, Nicole is the only one really living up to what I had hoped. Ovi would had he not made a few bonehead moves. My jury remains out on Sam -- he could be so good, but he continues to kowtow to the Jacks. Cliff's irrational hatred/fear/whatever of David has turned me off to him. 
• Actually, now that I think of it … David too is living up actually beyond what I hoped for his game. He's patient to a fault, easy-going even though he's in a bad circumstance, smart and ready to compete in the game. I really hope he's the one who comes back.
• Sorry, Ovi. 
• It's a shame she's in there with all of them.

What's she doing in this den of iniquity?

Food talk

BB21: Live Feeds into Saturday Evening, POV - July 6

Camp ComeBack now has uniforms

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Malevolent Misfits:

• First off, the quake that affected their area went down as I was writing up last night's report. It shook the house, but no damage.
• It was interesting to watch their reactions. 
• And, I'm sure it had to be David's fault. After all, they had no earthquakes this season in the house until HE returned!
• Heh.
• The campers at Camp ComeBack now have uniforms reminiscent of cut scout ones to wear.
• Okaay.
• Both Ovi and David are taking it all in good spirits.
• I'm still not seeing any rationale reason for disliking David as much as some do in the house.
• If they were saying how threatening a player he seems to be, I think they'd be spot on. The dude is smart, personable and seems to be athletic. That's a triple threat in the game.
• But those aspects aren't being mentioned. It's just all hate and there is absolutely NO REASON for such hate.
• Sigh
• Yesterday a banner plane went over the house and the hamsters had to go all inside. I didn't mention it because none of them talked about it, so I assumed it wasn't for them.
• But, this morning Cliff mentioned it in his Cliff Notes. He brought it up twice and we got fish cam both times. He didn't say the content but asked people not do that. Hmm.
• Ovi and David had a long talk. It turns out that some of the things David has been discussing with Kat are getting back to the Jacks. So, now he doesn't trust her.
• Rats. I thought maybe she was finally thinking for herself!
• They also talked about alliances in the house. They're thinking a five. The five is part of the eight. But the eight isn't even a total eight since a few of them have quasi-minds of their own.
• As I previously mentioned, it's Kemi and Jess nominated by Jack.
• During the veto picks, Jess actually got Houseguest's Choice and picked JACKSON.
• Er, Michie.
• Yes, you heard me.
• What is going through her mind?? 
• Just with that move, Kemi deserves to stay over her!
• Sheesh.
• Veto was played by Jack, Kemi, Jess, Sam, Michie and Bella.
• Sam, not a part of their ridiculous eight, won Veto again.
• The last time he did exactly what he wanted to do with it.
• This time …?
• He hasn't made any promises that I've seen. The last time he promised Cliff.
• Kemi is actually in better standing with Jack than she was before. She's made an effort to talk with him and even thanked him for not only giving her the heads up that she'd probably be nominated but for not backdooring her.
• The veto comp itself seems to have been one with rewards, too.
• Sam not only won veto, but a trip to Fiji.
• I'd actually like to see what Sam would do if he won an HoH. 
• I SO hate the sheep voting last week.
• They really need to split these voting blocks up.
• I don't have much more for you … so, until we meet again! 

Two of her alliance of gals are noms!

Seriously … light the HoH better!

Sam is a wild card veto winning dude.

Scout Ovi at your service

She might stay over Jess. Hmm.

BB21: Live Feeds into Friday Night, Nominations - July 5

I love all! I'm goodness and light!

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Society's Sad State:

• The feeds were blocked for large chunks of time today.
• One blockage was due to the Chaos part of Whacktivity. Unlike the first part, they talked about the comp but no one came forward to claim the win.
• It had to do with snakes. Quite apt, I'd say.
• Something about different tanks and they had to go out and match the snake with the tank.
• They were warned the snakes could bite but weren't poisonous.
• Rats.
• Okay, I'm evil. I admit it. Anyway, no one seems to have been bitten.
• A new addition to the problematic Jack arena -- when Jack with his cohorts saw David on the spy cam, Jack started mocking him and walking "like him." Um. I'm sorry, Jack, but you were warned. And, David walks nothing like a money or ape. @@
• Oh, but during his pre-nom talk with Jess, he was all about the love, goodness and light ebbing from his very soul. He thinks SO highly of her and loves her. He wants to get to know her better. But, he might have to put her on the block. @@
• Then, a bit later, Jack said to Kat he didn't want Jess to go around acting like the martyr.
• Meanwhile, Kat's gained a bit of credit with me as of late. First off, she's talking with David and actually comes off as interesting and nice with him.
• Second, she went to Jack and told him she will be sticking by Jessica. She truly cares about her.
• Back to problematic, but not the Jacks -- Christie was talking to Jack at one point and called Tommy "a good little fairy." Um. Really? I'm not sure how he would like that, especially coming from someone who has rough history with him. And, especially to Jack when he (Tommy) wasn't even there.
• Just "blech" problematic -- Jackson, er … Michie drinks milk out of the bottle, then puts it back in the refrigerator for others to drink.
• Oh, well.
• Jack, apparently for the cameras, tried to rationale his choice for nominees while talking to Sam and Analyse. 
• You do realize he LOVES everyone in the house, right?
• And, he doesn't want people to think his choices have anything to do with anything other than game, especially considering the first two out of the house.
• It's all game.
• It's that girl alliance! He has to stop it1 They're dangerous1
• Hmm … I notice he didn't say he hated Kemi today. I think he's said that multiple times every day we've had the feeds. But, not today.
• Maybe the warning he got worked?
• Nah. He did the David "impression" well after.
• He nominated Kemi and Jessica.
• I'm just so shocked over it all.

Kat consoles Jessica

Didn't cry today … that I saw

I wish these two would wise up

They need better lighting in HoH
