BB21: Live Feeds into Sunday Afternoon - July 21

Oh! Let's get a sunburn!

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Buckling Broncos:

• Last night was notable for two separate events.
• One was the tribute Cliff made celebrating the 50th anniversary of man walking on the moon.
• He and Orwell dressed up, mostly in tin foil, and paid respect to those who went before them.
• I was thinking … Cliff was the only one of the hamsters to even have been alive at the time. And, he was four years old -- not old enough to really remember it.
• My generation's landmarks in time are fading away.
• The moon walking tribute was very reminiscent of Chicken George. Now, I liked Chicken George in BB1. But he's not the type to be taken seriously as a contender for the win. Cliff shouldn't wear those shoes.
• In the other big event news -- Tommy and Kat made a slop allowed condiments ice cream and it was indeed a hit. No slop in it, but all the ingredients used are allowed to Have Nots. They feel they have made BB history.
• Speaking of Have Nots, Jackson is whining.
• Heh.
• He's on slop and, though he has the veto, he's on the block.
• Woe is him.
• Then comes the strategy talks.
• Cliff and Christie spoke. He got her to promise him two weeks of safety if she did NOT use her power. He would put Bella on the block when Jackson saves himself and Bella would go home.
• He swore on pictures of his family.
• On a side note -- one of his kids is posting on Twitter that they have no problem with him swearing on them or backstabbing in their names. They know he's there to win a game.
• And, at the time of the deal, it was indeed a lie to Christie. Cliff's actual plan was for Christie not to use the power, Jackson save himself and he puts Christie up to get her and her power out of the house.
• Bella has come to the realization that everyone dislikes her.
• Unfortunately, she's been her own worst enemy. Lying, running from one side to the other reporting on things said in confidence. Although if she goes this week, it would be the 4th minority person out in a row, her gameplay would have put her in that boat anyway.
• She apparently really does like Nick. They talked of meeting up after the show, perhaps even coming to a compromise where they should live. (She's West Coast, he's East Coast.)
• She said if she goes, she goes. She would take the time to evaluate whet she wants to do and how she wants to live her life.
• Now, Cliff's big move plan sounds good until it doesn't.
• He's now starting to chicken out a bit.
• He talked to Nicole, wondering if just getting Bella out this week might be the best for his own game.
• He did vow to break up the couples. However, that particular couple was working with him. 
• Of course, the course of things might switch once again before the veto ceremony tomorrow.
• We can only hope.
• In other news, Jackson and Holly had sex in the bathroom. Kat came along and told them that would be quite the internet show. Jackson was shocked to find out that the cameras would stay on (and even go to) people having sex.
• Ha. Both him and Jack are dogs. And, I can't help but wonder how the parents of them and the girls involved must be taking it.
• I'm old and my parents are dead. But they'd rise from their graves to kill me if I did that. Plus, even though it may date me, I have morals.

He blinded her with science!

It's getting so I even dislike her braids.

The easy way out

BB21: Live Feeds Saturday, Power of Veto - July 20

Bunny Cam

This is but a quickie report to bring y'all the news …

• In the veto meeting, Jack used his power (for what it's worth).
• If you recall, he could force a re-draw of the names chosen at random.
• So, in the initial choosing it was Cliff, Jack, Jackson plus Sam, Holly and Jessica.
• The "powerful" redraw changed the three to Sam, Analyse and Kat.
• Actually kind of worse for the Jacks -- they didn't really want Sam in the mix and Kat isn't a fan of theirs.
• Heh.
• But in the end, it didn't matter.
• Christie told Jack the only way she would use her power would be if Bella can be put up and go home … or to save herself.
• Now, technically, that could come to fruition.
• Jackson won veto.
• He's not dumb enough to not save himself.
• In that case, someone would go up. Cliff himself would do a replacement from ones he thinks are on that other side.
• Cliff counts Bella and Nick as on his side.
• So, it would be likely that the replacement chosen by Cliff would be Analyse, Holly, Christie or Tommy.
• BUT … if Christie uses her power, she could use it so that Jackson would save himself, then put up Bella.
• Hmm … Bella and Jack on the block? That's a touchy one. That move just might not get Bella out.
• We'll have to see what happens.
• The comp itself was something about maybe a jet-ski or some kind of water bike, holding a button and changing clothes.
• Something like that.

Used his almighty power, ha.

Have Not Camp

He can't save them both

BB21: Live Feeds into Friday Night, Nominations - July 19

Resting easy this week

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Boss Hogg:

• For those not familiar with the old show, Boss Hogg was a character on The Dukes of Hazzard.
• Cliff would make the old Boss Hogg proud between his amazingly quick win to reenter the house, then his HoH win and now his nominations.
• Before I get into more -- now that the Camp ComeBack room is empty, it's not.
• The Have-Nots are back in town.
• I believe they volunteered to go on slop this time around.
• Although it's hard to believe that Jackson, Hider of Food, would really go thee willingly. He steals food and hides it. He eats a ton. If I ate as much as he does, I'd be on that 600 Pound Life show (whatever it's called).
• But Jackson is indeed a Have Not as are Kat, Christie and Tommy.
• Now, everyone worked on Cliff to try to avoid the block.
• Christie told him of her power. Now I think everyone in the house knows about it because she also told Nicole yesterday.
• Sam told him about his conversation with Jack in which Jack screwed up mentioning the eight, then putting him (Sam) in there calling it nine, then accidentally calling it eight again.
• Cliff wants to work with Nick, Bella, Sam, Jess, Kat and Nicole.
• Bella is going to be the weak link wild card of that bunch.
• Nick seems to have come to the realization that Bella is affecting his own game and is going to try to get her going on more of an even keel.
• Cliff knows that Nicole is vehemently against Bella (in particular out of Nick and Bella) but wants her to try to work with her.
• The Jacks tried to tell Cliff how to run his HoH and the targets he should choose.
• But, in the end, Cliff did what he thought was best for his game.
• He made that big move -- Jack and Jackson are on the block.
• His target is Jack more than Jackson.
• If Christie is smart (well, maybe it could happen), she won't waste her power to save either.
• I do think she would like Jack out of the way because he is a threat to win. But no way would she ever put him up if she were HoH. This would solve that problem for her.
• She's got some kind of love/hate thing going on with him.
• At least now Cliff can give his Cliff Notes from the solitude of the HoH room AND see if anyone is eavesdropping with the spy cam.

I'm not freaking out



Bad News Bella shouldn't be forgotten.

Stepping up the game.

BB21: Live Feeds Brief, HOH into Thursday Night - July 18

You could have discussed it with me!

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Hogg Heaven:

• The live feeds didn't return immediately after the live show ended here on the East Coast.
• Eventually, they returned to a very dejected and forlorn Nick.
• He kept telling them that they should have discussed it with him.
• He said Bella is a recruit and doesn't know the game.
• Jack and Bella don't want to trust each other if they talk with people outside of "the nine."
• Christie and Sam talked, with him telling her that he wished he had known and that he would have had no problem in keeping Nicole in the house.
• He also told her he wants to work with her to get the Jacks out. Hmm.
  
• Tommy was running around, pretty much sucking up to everyone.
• They all remember that Cliff was the one vowing to target couples … and he thinks that Christie/Tommy are a couple, too.
• Nicole was more or less shell-shocked. She really thought she'd be voted out and then she wasn't. But she does at least have Cliff as an ally. She thinks. She hopes.
• Lots of fingers were pointed at Bella as the impetus of the move.
• As they should be, of course.
• So, there was drama and more drama to be had.
• Then the feeds got blocked for the HoH comp.
• Cliff is the new HoH.
• You heard me.
• Cliff.
• Jack is steaming! Apparently he came in a close second and almost won.
• "I wanted my room back and to be able to make decisions in the game." -- I'm paraphrasing there.
• However, he really meant: I WANT TO CONTROL EVERYBODY. WHATEVER YOU DO, DON'T PUT YOUR SHAKER BOTTLE IN THE REFRIGERATOR.
• Yep. That's what he means!
• Meanwhile, Cliff told Jess that anyone who's been on the block before has nothing to worry about -- he will not put them up.
• So, that would be Jess, Nicole, Kat are safe.
• As he was alone in a room packing up his stuff to move to the HoH room, Cliff turned to the cameras and said, "There's a new sheriff in town. You can call me Hogg. Or you can call me Boss Hogg." With a tip and a toss of his cowboy hat, he headed towards the door. "Mic drop."
• This should be interesting.
• At least it's so much better than Jack or Jackson or any of them winning.

Shaving isn't a cure for nastiness

I'm so sorry, Nick!

There's a new sheriff in town

BB21: Live Eviction Camp ComeBack Show Blog Party - 7/18

Hamster watchers and blog readers ready? This is the one we've been waiting for! At this time, no matter who comes back, it's going to be someone we like better than most in the house! While I'm hoping it's David because I feel he's the strongest gamer in Camp ComeBack, I'd welcome any of them back in.

I think, though I might be wrong, that we'll see the eviction and whatever they do with the return of the campers, but we might not see the HoH comp on the show tonight. There's been no blurb about it being on the live feeds, so the feeds might be blocked for it.

Lifeguard SueGee has updated the blog pool and you can find the standings right at this here link.

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

You'd think they'd have too much show ahead to do "previously on." but we must suffer through it. :::tapping foot:::

"Mob of nine" and "pitchforks" -- we're seeing a change in the editing. But I'd prefer they get on with the new show, please.

Julie, dressed in a summer look, tells us that the person voted out will go to compete. She tells the house about the ComeBack Comp. Winner will come back in house, the other three will be sent home.

With a hint of a blindside from Julie, we pick up the clips action to after the veto ceremony. Cliff thinks it's every man for himself. Nicole doesn't really want to campaign against Cliff. 

She turns to Kemi, her buddy in the house. She thinks she only has Ovi, Kemi and Cliff in the game. Nick tells Cliff he's safe. Christie is apologizing about her behavior to Nick when she was thinking he was going to put her on the block. Now she thinks she needs to prove she's more trustworthy to Nick and Bella. She tells them that she has the Diamond Power of Veto.

Jackson and Tommy talk about not trusting Nick. Or Bella. He tells us that they would have taken a shot at them if Nick hadn't won HoH. They decide to call themselves the Six Shooters -- Christie, Jack, Jackson, Tommy, Analyse and Holly. Christie tells the girls she doesn't want to vote out Nicole. She pushes the idea that Nicole would go after Nick and Bella.

Christie seems to be getting the six on her side in her quest to keep Nicole and blindside Nick and Bella. Meanwhile, Nick is smug in thinking Cliff will stay and the other six have their backs.

Julie visits the Campers -- she says all three want vengeance. David says he wants to build relationships while he's in limbo. He's being as charming as he can be. He tells us Jackson in number one on his list. But he wants him to trust him. Ovi sticks up for fair treatment. He tells us he wants to make a difference. Then they show others treating him badly. His cookies are always a hit, though. He thinks Cliff is his number one ally. Cliff tells him that Nicole is going this week. 

Then we're to Kemi. She's upset -- Nicole is the only person she trusts in the game. They play a game of describing relationships with the others in the game. She talks about Jack's obsession with hating her. Her goal if she comes back is to get rid of Jack. 

To the living room for the live vote --
Cliff - Howdy, shout-outs to family, loves the game, bonds and friendships with y'all, want to stay, but no hard feelings.
Nicole - Shout-outs, wise and strong woman told her to grab life by the boobs, not mine, follow your heart, vote for me to stay. Crowd and Julie all giggle.

The votes to evict:
Analyse - Cliff
Bella - Nicole
Jack - Cliff
Sam - Nicole
To commercial …
Jessica - Nicole
Kat - Nicole, but knows what's going on
Christie - Cliff
Holly - Cliff
Jackson - Cliff
Tommy - Cliff

By a vote of 6 to 4. Cliff is the final member of the camp. Nick/Bella seem shocked. Hugs all around. 

The four have to head outside right NOW according to Julie. But first … we have a commercial. 

To the ComeBack Comp. Cliff has a uniform now, too. Path to Redemption. Roll balls down a table maze raised highway extended kind of thing. First one with six balls in, wins. Cliff scores first, then second. Two minutes left, Cliff gets three. Four! Ovi got his first. Cliff five. Cliff six.

Beating the clock by 48 seconds, CLIFF returns to the house! Not what I would have predicted. David and Kemi didn't even sink one ball, Ovi got his one in.

Julie will talk to all three leaving the game.

David has tears (real, I believe). He's proud of Cliff, though. He's very upset. To Ovi -- ostracized? Why? They were playing a game, didn't want to tell the campers info. Kemi and Ovi both were surprised Nicole stayed. Julie tells David he was right with the couples and power. Ovi and David rooting for Cliff. Kemi is for Sam. They all wish Nicole well.

The extended interview will be online at cbs.com. The HoH will be shown on Sunday.Next week is endurance.
