BB21: Live Feeds into Mon. Afternoon, PoV Mtg. - July 15

Christie is freaking out … oh, the drama

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Drama Dogs:
  • I just don't know.
  • If you didn't catch the comments on my last update … Kat and Jackson apparently had some big screaming match that was blocked to the feeds late last night. I guess he really lit into her (verbally).
  • Anyway, she said he terrified her, no man has ever scared her like that.
  • And he got some kind of "penalty warning" about it.
  • She mentioned that he had been arrested for domestic violence. It looks like the charges might have been dropped or dismissed.
  • They have talked today without screaming.
  • In other drama, Christie was freaking out saying that "she has a feeling" that if Kat saves Jess with the veto, she's going up and they're "all" planning on getting her out.
  • Um. Um.
  • Nothing I've seen on the feeds provides any rationale for this.
  • Unless she's just run the crazy train off the rails, my thought is this might be some kind of scheme to get Kat to NOT use the veto.
  • She's been on a Nicole Must Not Go kick. Maybe she had an epiphany. Maybe the DR hinted or prodded her that way.
  • If the noms remain the same, Nicole wouldn't even go on the block this week.
  • Case solved.
  • Of course, she does have the Diamond Power of Veto. I don't know if it can be used in the case of a renom. It has to be told to the DR before the veto meeting and the BB voice would break into the meeting. I don't think they could do an "if so and so is the renom, pull them down."
  • I could be wrong.
  • She let all the girls except Bella but including Jess and Nicole in on her drama.
  • In other news, Nicole is talking to people, trying to campaign to stay in if she goes on the block.
  • Kat went to Nick to "make sure he won't be mad" if she uses the veto.
  • She talked about wanting to save Jess.
  • He told her he'd prefer she use it because Nicole is his target anyway.
  • Hmm.
  • As I type this up the live feeds are blocked for the veto meeting.
  • I'm waiting for the results before I post.
  • Be patient. 
  • C'mon, the feeds need to come back.
  • I want to cook dinner.
  • Well, unless someone wants to deliver me dinner.
  • That would be nice.
  • Heck, even Five Guys Burgers and Fries.
  • Sheesh, the meeting itself probably doesn't take more than ten minutes even if they need to shoot retakes because someone tripped over their own feet or something.
  • Okay, they're back. 
  • Kat saved Jess with the veto.
  • Christie was NOT the replacement.
  • Sigh.
  • Nicole and Cliff are on the block.

Get them all freaking out, too!

Nicole tries to campaign for herself.

Now, HE is the one who should go away.

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)

Has worn PoV necklace since Friday

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.
