BB21: HoH Comp, Nominations Show Blog Party - July 28

Tonight we'll see the continuation of the endurance HoH comp from Thursday night and then the nominations. As those who follow the live feeds or my other posts, that's all old news now! But, some people come to the show posts as strictly show only folks. So, I do ask for no spoilers in the comments.

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

Remember -- Jess, then Nicole already fell in the comp before the live show ended~

Sitting through the "previously on."

We see Jess go down again in the HoH and we're getting desperate DR sessions form those who feel they must win. Cliff would SO not be good in this comp! Jess draws a chip from the box -- two will get a poison ivy punishment. The other chips seem to be just safety from that punishment. Nicole is down and she too is safe from the punishment.

In clips we see Christie trash-talking Jackson and Nick running to tell Jackson.

Oh noes! Sam is all over the place on his vines and … boom, he's down! He is safe from punishment.

Wet calamine lotion is being sprayed on them. Christie is out and … BOOM, she gets a punishment chip! Heh.

Nick is out. His "groins" were on fire. He doesn't get the punishment, at least it's not mentioned. Now ivy leaves are coming down on the participants.  In clips, Jackson is haranguing Kat. More glop is splashed on them.

Jack is down! Too bad, so sad! He's safe from the poison ivy punishment. 

Analyse points out her athletic abilities in soccer, but says this is horrible. Tommy doesn't want to win the HoH. He feels safe. Whoops, he falls down! AND … he got the second poison ivy punishment chip!

Holly, Jackson, Analyse and Kat remain. Kat tells us she refuses to come down before Jackson does. 

JACKSON IS DOWN! Kat gives it a minute, then drops after getting a promise of safety from the girls. It's down to Holly and Analyse. They try to talk deals while Jackson keeps telling Holly not to drop. Even Christie who thinks it's all about Christie thinks Jackson thinks all should be about him. He keeps dictating that Holly stay up. The two girls -- Analyse and Holly -- know that they're safe no matter who wins. Analysie is down.

HOLLY WINS HOH! Or, Jackson wins HoH, so to speak. Analyse is ticked off that Jackson kept barking for Holly to stay up when they're all in the same alliance. But we know a win for Holly is an HoH for Jackson, too!

Jackson tells us he wanted Holly to win so he can tell her what to do … er open her eyes and take a look at things.

Cliff, trying to keep up good will, is handing out beer from his HoH basket. He doesn't want to go on the block. Nick is sure he's going up. Sam is worried and feels he needs to talk game for the first time with Holly. Christie is also feeling Analyse's pain over how Jackson acted in the comp towards Holly.

Heehee. Cricket noises when Holly wants to know who wants to see her HoH room. The oohs and aahhhs and a letter from her mother. Obviously written before she jumped into the sack with Jackson … or she's not allowed to reprimand her. Nicole was touched.

Christie goes on an anti-Michie trip. She annoys me but her comments about him are spot on. 

Jackson/Michie is advising Holly to put up Sam and Nick. She is worried about putting both of them up at the same time. Then he tells her to put up Nicole and Nick … because there would be less of a chance of them coming after him.

Whose HoH is this?

Kat pushes her moon landing conspiracy theories but Cliff is a firm believer. She also spouts off several other conspiracy theories. Y'know, I was just starting to like Kat. But this is a bit much.

Christie and Tommy get their poison ivy punishments. They have painted airbrushed red splotches all over them and leaf bathing suits. They're must stay inside for four days and cannot shower.

Sam talks to Holly/Jackson and points out that he could work with them. He's willing to be on the bottom even. He tells them that he wouldn't nominate them.

Holly tells us she doesn't know what she's going to do. (I guess she has to make sure what Jackson wants her to do.)

And, the moment of truth … time for nominations. Holly nominates Nick, then Sam. She thinks the key is trust and teamwork. Nick lost trust and Sam was caught in the crossfire.

BB21: Live Feeds into Sunday Afternoon - July 28

Making the parents so proud!

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

• I've seen this season compared to last season with a big alliance oretty much ruling the house.
• Yeah, that did happen.
• However …
• Last year the "sides" went back and forth with HoH reigns.
• Last year one side just didn't act together and the other side did.
• Last year the dominating side wasn't mean or sleazy.
• This year, BOTH sides are screwing up and not on the same page. The majority side talks about taking out their own people almost as often as they talk about taking out the other targets.
• This year, the minority side just keeps going with the flow of the majority side even though they know they'll be picked off one by one. No one really makes the REAL big move.
• Yeah, Cliff made a big move when he put the Jacks up on the block. But, unless you follow through and make one of them go home, it's not big move completed at all.
• I just don't understand why folks like Cliff, Nicole, Sam, Kat and even Jess (and now Nick) think that getting accepted "into" the group will save them. They need to start working together, stop voting as a house!
• Of course, that's all a moot thing this week with Nick/Sam on the block and Nick winning the veto.
• Kat has volunteered to be a pawn on the block next to Sam with the thinking she won't be voted out. She's nervous about it, though.
• Christie seems to go back and forth between declaring Nicole shady and then saying they should have her work with them.
• Holly wants to put Nicole up against Sam, but then they're not sure Sam with go home then and he's more of a threat in winning comps.
• Christie wants to make it all about her and is panicking that she might be put up. @@
• All that's really certain is that Nick will save himself.
• Sam really does seem to have thrown in the towel. He's already packed his bags. He wants to deep clean the kitchen so that he doesn't have to talk game.
• "I'm so over that," he said.
• The house has just about gone through the whole new supply of groceries thanks mainly to Jackson.
• I cannot believe the amount of food he eats. I guess it's good that he's so into fruit or he'd be 400 pounds. Even so and even with his cheating all week Have Not time last week, it looks to me like he's gained about 20 pounds since the season started.
• Something's wrong with that boy!
• Well, there are other things wrong with him, too.
• Of course, he's back in bed with Holly. After all, he can't get at Analyse yet due to Jack and Holly is HoH.
• It creeped me out yesterday to see him in a room with others, stand up, reach way down in his pants to mess with himself somehow, then sit and invite Holly to sit on his lap -- "Want some of this?"
• Blech.
• Oh … by the way, although Jack seems to have chastised just about every female in the house over food and refrigerator stuff, like penalties from production, Jackson is immune.
• He drinks out of the communal milk jug. Jack doesn't say boo to him.
• I don't like these people. 
• And, even the people I like are screwing up this season.
• Woe is me.

Blowing a feather in the air game

Shoving hand down pants before Holly sits on him

Veto winner & Cliff in veto farmer gear

Who is this? Why is she there?

Always eating (or sexing), getting pudgy.

Is it THAT cold in the house?

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.
