BB21: Live Feeds Saturday, PoV - July 27

The poison ivy doesn't affect her mouth

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Discombobulated Dogs:

• Today is the big veto comp.
• If you're not caught up (why aren't you?) with things -- Holly won HoH, she nominated Sam and Nick.
• They had the veto players pick. In addition to Holly, Sam and Nick, we have Jess, Cliff and Tommy playing.
• Hmm.
• I don't know if any were HG Choice although I recall Nick telling Sam that if he got that chip he'd go for Jess because he knows he can beat her.
• Things are going really screwy there.
• Well, they have for a lot of the season, but …!
• Is Sam throwing the towel in?
• He spoke to Cliff telling him he'd like him to throw the win to Nick if he could.
• Sam says if he's going to go home anyway, he wants to go pre-jury so that he could be with his family.
• Oh my. A hamster not looking for time in jury doing nothing and collecting the stipend?
• Say it ain't so!
• Cliff told him he'd try. But he said it's going to be hard because when he's in a comp his mindset is always to go for the win.
• I'm really losing my faith in Cliff.
• After talking with Sam, he reported to HOH, telling them he was asked by Sam to take Nick off the block instead of Sam if he wins veto.
• Then there's the girls. Analyse and Christie were talking about taking in Sam with them to get rid of The Jacks.
• Oh my … again.
• I guess it's not love with Analyse and Jack. For both it must just be sex … and shared with the world.
• Nick tried calling Christie on various lies and real conversations she's had with people.
• Cue hysteria again.
• Holly is on an anti-Nicole kick now. I think that it's pretty obvious that if someone gets saved with the veto, Nicole will go on the block.
• Oh! I forgot to tell you … they did name Have Nots. There are only three and it's the first three out of the HoH comp -- Jess, Nicole and Sam.
• Jackson went around talking about how they have to follow the rules or get a penalty nomination.
• He should have followed his lecturing with "Unless you're me, of course. I cheated all last week and nothing happened. But YOU have to follow the rules!"
• An unrelated note: Christie doesn't think vocabulary is a big thing there days like it was in the past with the older generation.
• Gah.
• I'd like to defenestrate that loquacious Christie! And, she wouldn't have a clue.
• I found out that Christie and Tommy have to have sponge baths only -- no showers, baths or swimming -- with their airbrushed on poison ivy. It sounds like they were taken off site to have it applied.
• Once again, I'm waiting for the feeds to return from the PoV comp block before posting.
• Today is the 15th Anniversary for Hamsterwatch.com -- That Dingo and I have a very similar AOL background which nay be why neither of us get all hot and bothered over hamsters and try to be rational about postings. She was not a part of the team with me on the TV boards, though.
• Okay, feeds are back.
• All the veto players are dressed in farmer-type gear.
• NICK won the Power of Veto.
• I fear for Sam or Nicole ...

They all want something from Cliff

I wish Kat would work with Nicole

Meeting of the mindless

BB21: Live Feeds Friday, Nominations - July 26

Poor Tommy has poison ivy

Here's the latest from inside than Big Brother House of Itches for Witches:

• Feel free to substitute a B for that W above.
• Tommy and Christie got the poison ivy punishments doled out in last night's HoH comp.
• Today they got to wear them.
• Definitely not the most impressive punishments. The costumes are a mix of make-up and leafy swimsuit kind of apparel. They are not tethered together. It sounds like they have to wear them all week, no swimming or showering in them. Oh well.
• As for nominations, it went as expected -- Jackson Holly put Sam and Nick on the block with the target being Nick.
• Now, I wouldn't mind Jess on the block and out at all. But that doesn't seem to be happening. 
• She adds very little to the season or to my entertainment. I don't want to see them hauling her to the end just to give someone a guaranteed win with her as the final two partner.
• If Nick gets HG choice, he plans to pick Jess because he knows he could beat her in the veto comp.
• Nick was definitely expecting to be put up while Sam was kind of sure he'd be on the block.
• So … no surprises.
• And there ya go ...

Poor Christie has poison ivy

Mingling continues

BB21: Live Feeds into Friday - July 26

Yes, Nick. It will indeed be a nail-biter

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Miserable Mice:

• Last night's HoH winner could have been Analyse instead of Holly.
• Holly was considering dropping while talking to Analyse and probably would have had Jackson not yelled that she had to stay up.
• After all, he couldn't win at that point, but it would still be his HoH if Holly won.
• @@
• Either one, though, would be another HoH for the Jacks.
• That said, both Holly and Amanlyse did incredibly well in the comp -- 2 hours and 19 minutes.
• And, though I hate to say it, Jackson did really well as did Kat. Kat I wanted to do well. Jackson not so much.
• In a way, I'm kind of speechless. But, I'll try. Y'see, Holly came into the house talking about thinking of respect for her parents and her small town, she wouldn't do anything to embarrass them.
• But then she did. She jumped into bed with Jackson. Then she was told that the sex would be on the live feeds. So, she cooled it with Jackson. But then she made up with Jackson before the live show last night.
• So, you know who's sleeping and, more likely, not sleeping in the HoH room.
• And, Jackie … what about those Have Nots?
• Supposedly Have Nots aren't allowed to eat until midnight on the live evection show day. Yet Jackson started immediately after the feeds picked up after the HoH comp.
• Okay, he's been cheating, blatantly even, without any sort of penalty all week. What does an hour or two matter?
• They haven't named any Have Nots for this week. Perhaps, if they're not going to enforce the rules for one, they can't enforce them for anybody and they're throwing the towel in.
• I don't know.
• Holly has had the revolving door of everyone pleading their case to stay off the block.
• We know that much of the decision will be influenced by Jackson.
• Sigh.
• Nominations are later today.
• It looks like she'll probably be putting Nick and Sam on the block.
• Christie even suggested Cliff because "they" (she) only promised him two weeks safety.
• So, yeah … they continue to be picked off one by one.
• In other news, I watched the extended Bella/Julie interview. My gosh, had that Bella been in the house, she'd still be in the house!
• Once I know the nominations, I'll post.

I'm so glad Jackson isn't in my life.

Could have won, still a bad scenario.

She did do well in the comp. Who is she?

I really wanted a Kat or Nicole victory.

BB21: Live Eviction Show Blog Party - July 25

So, here we are … going into the first real eviction of the season. Will it be Jack or Bella? Will it be a landslide or a blindside? These questions and more will be answered during the show.

Lifeguard SueGee has updated the blog pool. You can find the latest standings at THIS HERE POST.

I'll be live blogging the major events and updating this entry as the show airs here on the East Coast. A separate post is waiting in the wings to cover the expected HOH endurance comp which is promised on the live feeds after the aired show ends. That post should appear, as if by magic. a few minutes before 10pm ET. As always, the real party is in the comments area -- please feel free to join in on the fun!

Julie, once again looking like a breath of fresh air in the summer. welcomes us and we're into the "previously on" segment. I will twiddle my thumbs until the real action starts.

We're promised an epic battle of endurance beginning in the show. And, it's back to Julie. Can Bella talk her way out of the trouble she's in? We pick up after the veto meeting ends. Cliff tells us he's thinking weeks ahead. We'll see how that works out. Jack thinks his odds are good. Nick thinks Cliff made a stupid move as the ones he's helping just voted him out last week.

Bella is crying. Jackson tells us how the entire house has been burned by Bella. Cliff tells Nick why he did what he did. Cliff tells us Nick and Bella aren't his path to victory.

Nick is sure that Bella will be voted out. He seems to really care about her. That's a bit unlike some of the other hanky-panky going around in the house! She tells us she loves him and will fight to stay in the house. 

Jack thinks it says something about Cliff that he kept his word to Christie. Cliff proposes working with them. He knows he won't be at the head of the totem pole. He would like to make sure he's not a target while they turn on each other -- sort of like they turned on Sam and Bella. They're receptive to Cliff's proposal.

Kat and Holly both come from the pageant world. They recognize each other but don't know each other (like Tommy and Christie know each other). So, some of these secrets are coming out. They go for a final two deal together.

Cliff explains to Bella why he put her up and that if he hadn't, Christie would have used the power and she would go up anyway. She tells him she will campaign for the votes. He tells her more power to her. Cliff tells her that if it's a tiebreaker, he will do what he has to do. Hmm. 

She is working it. Kat tells us she knows Jack will have to go, but it might be too early. She goes to Jess and Nicole. Jess is still mad at her but says Bella makes a compelling argument. Nicole tells us she can actually work with this Bella and it's a huge opportunity to get rid of Jack.

Just before commercial, Julie tells us it's time to meet the Cliffomaniacs; On a side not, I'm getting a kick out of his daughter Kelly on Twitter. She's a hoot!

We meet his family. His wife speaks highly of him. His two adult kids are there, too. We get a clip of his moon tribute from the feeds. He has a patent. Hmm. Then we get a clip of him twerking in the fashion contest yesterday. His kids are very proud, as is his wife. The live vote is next and we go into commercial.

To the living room.
Bella - Shout outs, consider the bigger threat, haven't won anything, large group, will take out the others one by one, respect Jack and your decision.
Jack - Hates speeches, team player, hold myself with integrity, hope you vote what's best for your game.

The votes to evict:
Christie - Bella
Analyse - Bella
Jackson - Bella
Nick - Jack
To commercial …
Sam - Jack
Nicole - Bella
Kat - Bella
Jess - Bella
Holly - Bella
Tommy - Bella

Eight to two, Bella is evicted. They had their chance to get rid of a real threat and didn't do it. I love that Kat said first she wanted to evict Michie! So, we go through the fake hugs. Bella is handling it well. Nick is crying.

Now, if the Bella talking to Julie was the Bella in the house, she'd still be there. She does indeed care about Nick. We get goodbye messages. Sam, Nicole leave nice messages. Nasty from Jack. Nick sweet. Bella is in tears by the end. But she did come off as very poised for most the interview, there will be an extended interview online.

To the backyard. Pose in Ivy. Hold onto vines for dear life, fall off, you're eliminated. Pull chip from punishment box. Two will receive poison ivy punishment. They're swinging, two hands on vines, feet also on vine-like moving piece.

Julie tells us next Thursday we get to send three HG on a trip that will put one HG game on the line.

Back to the comp -- Jess is down. Pick up the action on the comp post I made. Nicole is out.
