BB21: Live Feeds through Sunday - July 14

Make some moves already, Sam!

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Delusional Dolts:

• A couple of big things happened Sunday in the house.
• Perhaps the most newsy and a bit disturbing -- Kat said something about Jackson having been arrested for domestic violence.
• Now, I didn't hunt it down. But, of course, the Internet did. I'm actually surprised they didn't find it before because they came up with Jack being arrested for a drunk driving charge and made a bigger deal that his real name is John, not Jack, than the arrest itself.
• I don't like Jack. But I think every Jack I've ever known is actually a John.
• I don't know why.
• But, back to Jackson -- he was arrested for domestic violence when he was 22, two years ago. The charges were dropped. Innocent until proven guilty and all, but it might not be the best to even have the questionable locked in a house with other people under pressure. 
• In the other "big" news arena, it seems like the Diary Room "suggestions" and line of questioning might actually be working in the favor of most of the show's fandom.
• Well, as the fandom seems to appear, at least.
• Not only Christie is saying that she won't vote out Nicole, after a DR session, Tommy seemed to rethink his position and he too is on that boat.
• Now, things can change in a moment, but it now looks like most will NOT vote out Nicole.
• Kat has already promised to save Jess with the veto (which she hasn't taken off since winning, even sleeping and showering wearing the necklace).
• I think Kat will keep her word. She's a bit flighty, but I'm liking her more as time goes on. Although she's been voting with her group, she's more likely to have a mind of her own than others in the alliance.
• So, if Kat takes down Jess, unless Nick (who actually seems to be wavering a bit) goes against someone in the Eight, it will be Nicole going up with Cliff and Cliff out.
• I kind of feel bad because I was rooting for Cliff until he exhibited an irrational outright fear of David … which he never explained. Then, of course, he knew his Cliff Notes were overheard, yet he kept doing them. So, he can go. 
• I'd actually prefer Jess to leave as she does nothing for my entertainment.
• But you can't always get what you want.
• In other news, Kat and David continue to be quite chummy. They're actually fun to watch together.
• When David mentioned that he switched everyone's coffee to the decaf before the PoV comp, Kat shouted, "Kavid is OVER!"
• He's given her more insight into the Jacks and others in the alliance.
• And, she isn't reporting things back to the Jacks.
• Hmm. There may be hope for her.
• In yet other news, Bella cried for a good portion of the day yesterday.
• Why did she cry?
• Because Nick was cuddling with Analyse.
• He spent a lot of time apologizing.
• But we know from conversations that he has a thing for Analyse.
• What a tangled web we weave when we … er, jump in bed quickly with others.
• Yeah, that's it.
• The veto meeting should be today. 
• Kat will have to stop wearing the necklace.

Kemi and Nicole destined to be friends

Bored by the Jacks

Handsome -- better than his tank tops!

Talking Kat's love of Brett (BB20)

BB21: Whacktivity/Nominations Show Blog Party - July 14

This season needs a reboot. Instead, we get Whacktivity. What disgusting stuff will they encounter tonight? (Besides each other, that is.)

I'll be live blogging and updating this entry with the major events as the show airs here on the East Coast. Refresh this 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!

Previously on … alliances, alliances and blunders about alliances. Sure they go into Bella's playing both sides, but the Jacks are still angels? Hmm. 

We pick up the action after the HoH comp. Nick is arrogant that he won and Kemi, whose speech was to blow up his and Bella's game, is going to Camp ComeBack. Jess is worried that she might go on the block. Kemi is vowing for vengeance.

Michie had cast the hinky rogue vote thinking that Nicole would be blamed for it. And, indeed, she is. Hmm … he tells us he cast it to blame it on Nick or Bella, but is now turning it around to be Nicole. Cliff is eavesdropping as Nick tells Michie he had planned to put up Cliff and Jess. Now Nick is sure Nicole was the vote. 

Bella is telling Kemi she was her only friend in the game. Voices get raised. The maid screams! A gunshot rings out! Ahem. Okay, I made some of that up. But they're in a kerfuffle just short of a brouhaha. 

Nicole is still (honestly) saying that she didn't cast the vote. Cliff isn't even backing her up. No one really is and Michie continues to spread the rumors. 

Nick actually doesn't think Nicole cast the vote. But Michie keeps insisting. Nick says (again) that he's thinking of putting up Jess, Cliff or Nicole. Bella and Nick are thinking Michie did the vote because he's the one who keeps bringing it up.

Nick wants Nicole to trust him -- he doesn't want to put her up at all. She's still worried anyway. 

The bugle sounds. Whacktivity time! Panic is this week. Analyse, Christie, Jess and Nick. 
Thousands of Madagascar hissing cockroaches covering a message. They have to decipher the message and enter it. The message ends up being "Don't meet Julie on eviction night." Christie wins the power. The others don't know who won it, just that they didn't win.

Christie opens her card with her power in the Diary Room. It's the Diamond Power of Veto. Secretly take one nominee off and replace during POV meeting. Can be used once within the next four veto meetings. 

She runs and tells Tommy she won. Jack tells Tommy that he has his own power. 

Kemi and Nicole talk. Nicole tells her she thinks they're all together. Kemi tells Nicole that Christie heard Cliff say that she (Nicole), Ovi and Cliff are in an alliance. Nicole needs to find Cliff and let him know. Cliff feels bad about it. He won't stop the Cliff Notes, but will do it in a quieter voice.

Cliff goes to Nick and says he doesn't really want to be a pawn, but will do it if it helps Nick's game. He claims he still wants to work with Nick and Bella. Nick tells us that Cliff is his target this week and this makes it easier for him.

We get a segment on the silliness that is Kat. 

Bugle sounds and Kemi has to get her Camp ComeBack uniform. She's rocking it! 

Sam, with some of the eight, mentions that he, Michie and Holly are at the bottom of the group. And, get this … he's not really even in the group!

Nicole is worried. She thinks Michie gave her good advice before the HoH comp. He told her that he wanted to target Nick and Bella. So, she goes to Nick and Bella. She tells them. Uh-oh. Can of worms! Bella is in shock. Nick is confused.

Nominations time! 

Nick first nominates Cliff, then Jess. He loves them both, not personal. Easiest way was to put up people who already were on the block. You can play veto. He tells us that he might backdoor Jack/Jackson if he finds out what Nicole says is true.

Both nominees vow to win veto. Nicole still feels like she's in danger. 

BB21: Live Feeds - POV Winner - Saturday Night - July 13

Pigtails? Say it ain't so!

This isn't a full-fledged report. So, don't bother getting a beverage and a snack to sit down and read it.

• KAT won the Power of Veto.
• You heard me.
• Now, she's likely to take Jess off the block.
• If she uses it at all, Nick will replace whomever with Nicole.
• But it looks like the Backdoor Nicole Movement (which Bella plays a large role in) might have some hiccups.
• As things stand at this moment -- though a lot can change between now and Monday's PoV meeting or Thursday's eviction -- Nick and Bella are once again on the outs with their alliance of eight.
• Christie refuses to vote Nicole out.
• She's got Jack convinced that if they save her, she will come right into the fold with them.
• Why? Well, she says it's because Bella needs to be called on all of her lies and Nicole seems to be the only one to do it.
• She's already spoken to Analyse and Holly, as well as Jack. We know Tommy will probably do whatever Christie wants vote-wise.
• We also know that Nicole will never trust Jack and Company.
• That's where things stand at the moment.
• Subject to change.

BB21: Live Feeds into Saturday Evening - July 13

I understand why Tommy was upset to see her

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Blatant Bullies:

• I realize I didn't post this morning. It was for a few reasons, one health-related on my part.
• The other reason is that, while it is work to cover the live feeds, I like to have fun with it as well.
• Last night on the live feeds there wasn't fun and really no way I could be witty about what I saw.
• I saw Bella go off forever on Nicole without giving Nicole any chance to speak up defending herself.
• I saw the Eight be nasty to Ovi, Kemi and David. 
• And, especially nasty to Nicole.
• Nicole has to be one of the most nice people in and out of the house. You can tell that just by watching her.
• Yet she feels alienated and alone. Sure, she has Kemi for a friend and sounding board. But Kemi isn't actually playing the game. 
• Sure, Tommy tells her how much he loves her.
• It's just not right and it saddens me.
• Christie went and told Jack that she has the Diamond Veto from Whacktivity.
• I can only hope that she just hangs onto it to save her own butt if need be and doesn't use it to backdoor Nicole.
• For me, the only hope for this game is if (A) David is the one coming back in the game (love that Kemi, but he would be a better player) (B) Nicole and Sam are still playing and team up with David. That trio has the talent to maybe win against the machine.
• Today Kemi and David were sitting alone downstairs. David said, " Camp ComeBack is looking very … colorful." 
• The camera cut away immediately to another room.
• So, the BB staff behind the walls have obviously been coached to steer away from any racist type discussion in the house.
• We know, since both talked about it, that both Jack and Michie were talked to about racist type talk. (I wish they'd also address Jack on his slurs about women.)
• Yet the aired show is giving them a good edit.
• At least on Season 15 the show reflected what was going on.
• So … with what I've written so far, you can see the lack of wit. 
• In other news from the house, the veto players were pricked.
• Jessica got Houseguest's Choice and chose … Christie.
• There are none so blind as those who refuse to see.
• Veto players are: Nick, Jess, Cliff, Christie, Kat and Jackson.
• So, the backdoor plan for Nicole is probably a given.
• Kat might be the only one not to use it, but will probably go with the Eight.
• And, that's where we are.
• I want to thank those who donated to the blog so far in this dismal season! You rock even when the hamsters don't.

Generally tries, but ineffective player.

They made Nicole cry.

Too bad she wasn't cast in a normal season.

She disappointed me.

Prime example of a toxic person.

David to Kemi: Camp C/B is looking … colorful.

BB21: Live Feeds - Whacktivity, Nominations - Friday July 12

What's for dinner?

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Bugged-Out Buzzards:

• The live feeds have been down more today than up since they woke this morning.
• It's the final Whacktivity -- Panic.
• Now, the cameras are blocked for those comps and they tout them as "secret" powers.
• Well, it's only secret if the winner doesn't blab.
• Julie promised us we'd see a classic power return to the game with this latest/last Whacktivity.
• If the winner keeps his/her mouth shut (which is always wise), we wouldn't know who won or what the power is until Sunday night when they air the show.
• All we got was a couple of peeks of large cockroaches, lots of them, interrupting the critter cam they use to block the live feeds.
• But the winner blabbed.
• Christie told Tommy she won.
• And the power is the Diamond Power of Veto. It's only good for use once in the next four veto ceremonies.
• Use of it in the ceremony will remain private from HoH and all. 
• That is unless the winner already blabbed about it, of course.
• If memory serves, the power allows the user to remove and replace one nominee during the veto meeting.
• All of the hamsters talked about how Christie had to win because of her reaction after the comp.
• Oh, and they talked about how they're sure she won and that they were told that it's a power that's "capable of winning the game."
• Yes, the comp was to do with those cockroaches. I'm not sure what kind they are, but they're not the kind that tends to infest places around here.
• So far, Christie has NOT told Jack she won. She's denying the win to all (except Tommy).
• But Nick is all up in arms saying she won it.
• The feeds have been down for quite a while as I write this up -- nominations, I assume.
• No one seems to really know what Nick will do.
• The Jacks are sure that if he tries to backdoor one of them, they have the votes to stay.
• Cliff talked to Nick and actually volunteered to go up as a pawn.
• The Eight seem to be sort of a love/hate thing. Whether he breaks loose and puts one (or two) of them up may depend on his mood … and what influence Bella has had on him.
• While Nicole came across as an Enemy of the Eight due to Christie eavesdropping on Cliff, Christie and a few others are in her camp because she's such a nice person.
• I'm just wasting time here waiting for the feeds to come back.
• How's your life going?
• At least, unlike last season when they showed reruns, I can keep the feeds with the theme music/critter cam blocking low volume and watch Live PD.
• Cliff is on the block.
• And … Jess.
• Jack told Cliff they put Jess up because they think she has the power and want to flush it out.
• So … nominees are Cliff and Jess.

Cliff is just plodding along now.

Nicole doesn't run around half-naked.

Someone needs to change things!

Don't talk game in front of the campers.

I really wish they were worried.

Don't talk game in front of the campers!
