BB21: Live Eviction, HoH Show Blog Party - August 1

Tonight we should see either Kat or Sam go home. Sigh. We should also find out more about that field trip that fans will be voting on. And, thankfully, we won't have an extra two and a half hours on top of the live eviction show like I did last week blogging the endurance comp. As far as I know, the comp will conclude within the show.

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

I'll be live blogging and updating this entry with the major happenings 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. I hope to see you there!

Julie tells us that the past hour (blocked to live feeds) has been wild in the house with all kinds of accusations. She said she's not sure how anything is going. Hmm. Then we're into the Previously On.

Uh-oh. He said the battle for power begins again. I certainly hope it ends by the end of the show!

Back to Julie, she says the Six Shooters haven't turned on each other … until tonight. The early clips now focus on Sam being likely to go home. Sam thinks Analyse is a vote for him to stay. She tells us if there's any way to save Sam, she would.

Poor Tommy and Christie's poison ivy. Oh, now the calamine has cured them and they can finally go outside!

Kat has been working with Holly and decides it's time to get Holly to split with the Six. Kat tells on Christie's plan not to go to the final four with couples. Now Holly is concerned that Christie is getting into alliances with others. So Holly goes to Analyse with Christie suspicions. Deals with CLiff and such are the fodder, along with Christie making all the decisions for everyone.

Cliff is working on Christie to get her going on splitting up the couples. (Thusly proving Holly's concerns.) 

Julie tells us Sam takes a last ditch effort to break up the couples because he has nothing to lose. He runs to Jackson/Holly about the conversation regarding Cliff and Christie going after them and Jack. Sam says it would be beneficial if he stayed. Jackson asks him if he'd be willing to work with him and Holly if he stays. So, now the editing is turning towards Sam staying.

Of course, Holly is reluctant because she's working with Kat, unknown to all. Now, she doesn't have a vote tonight, but Jack/Jackson do. The Jacks meet and Jackson tells Jack about the Christie/Cliff news.

To the living room live. Julie congratulates them on making it to 44 days. She asks Cliff about being away from his wife. He gets a bit teary saying he misses her. Nicole, dealing with being locked away. Tough, but new different family. Now to Tommy with his little dance routine he taught them all. We get clips and this is just filler fluff. It's not like the show has been getting bad press not addressed or anything.

To the living room again for the live vote:
Kat - Confident about being a woman, sometimes in BB it can't be, hope her parents see she's the strong woman, can be nice and win.
Sam - Shout out to wife and kids, Daddy's coming home. Didn't come in to babysit, I came in drama free nothing to do with me, love ya all.

The votes to evict:

Christie - Sam
Nicole - Sam
Jackson - Sam
To commercial …
Jack - Sam
Nick - Sam
Analyse - Sam
Jess - Sam
Cliff - Sam
Tommy - Sam

Sheeple! Although I know Sam told Nicole to vote with the house.

Julie tells Sam that he was actually safe and they planned to keep him at 3pm their time today but then all heck broke loose. He says that Kat cried more than he did and maybe he should have played pity party. He gets nice goodbye messages from Nick, Nicole, Cliff and Holly -- she tells him she has a final two with Kat. 

The field trip eight days of voting, special competition. Winner safe that week, second place a punishment, third person on the block as a third nominee. It would all go down for the eviction the week after next. Voting live at the CBS BB website.

HoH comp begins. It will obviously run over after the show as it's five minutes to go. Camp Expo. Kiosks with ads for many camps, head to booths, series of true or false questions. Wrong, eliminated. Their study time begins now.

Good luck and goodnight from Julie. Sunday the HoH will be announced plus what happened before the show tonight with the chaos.

I don't think they're going to air this on the live feeds, but when I find out that or who won HoH, I'll post. I think it's going to blocked, though.

BB21: Live Feeds into Thursday - August 1

He's losing the loser spotlight to Jackson

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Sleazy Squirrels:

• I feel like I must be some kind of prude or something.
• Y'see, putting the racist issues and any bullying aside, it's really bothering me that so many in the house are so quick to have sex, mostly unprotected, when they don't really know each other, have no plans of long term relationships and THEY'RE ON CAMERA TO THE WORLD.
• I do like Kat, for example. But … before the feeds went on, she went ahead and had a single bout of unprotected sex with Jackson (with basically a stranger) and now she's worried she might be pregnant. 
• Gah.
• BB supplies them with condoms event. Oh, but the "boys" don't want to use them.
• @@
• The HoH shower should be closed off and disinfected.
• Dang, it makes me wish for the olden days of Howie's Jack Shack. At least that wasn't something that might affect the rest of someone's life.
• Moving on …
• This big alliance is just a hot mess. Thinking of Level 6 last season, that worked because they maintained confidences, weren't blatantly hanging out together (although this season the outsiders are still in the dark because they're just that bad at the game) and were loyal to each other.
• This year we have people wanting in on the Six -- Cliff, Sam, Nick (back in for him) and Jess. The only one who's totally out and doesn't want in is Nicole. Therefore, she must be dangerous. Kat is a peripheral -- not in, but not out with all of the six.
• The six have people who know each other from before the show -- Christy/Tommy and Holly/Jackson (to an extent, on Instagram).
• Holly MIGHT have more loyalty to her peripheral knew (but not closely) before the season online buddy Kat.
• I think we just might need flowcharts to try to keep track of who's with whom. Level Six was plain old clear and simple … and none had a previous relationship of any kind.
• In other news, Sam is sure he's the target, but he's not going to go down without blowing up the game of whomever he can.
• That said, he told Nicole to go ahead and vote with the majority so the target doesn't intensify on her.
• Of course, the majority doesn't usually include Nicole, so she has to hope Jess or Cliff might tell her or guess.
• Sam told Holly and Jackson that Christie made some deal with Cliff the week of his HoH to target Jack and Jackson.
• He even got the Jacks doubting their loyalty to each other.
• Tommy's running around to everyone hasn't gone unnoticed.
• Analyse is on the suspicion list for Holly/Jackson, too.
• But Analyse is just basically clueless and not overly bright. Although she came close to winning the endurance comp, thinking just ain't her game.
• Kat found out that Sam was hoping she'd freak out like she did when she was on the block before.
• She has remained cool and sometimes even comedy relief throughout.
• I can't say for sure, but it still looks like Sam will go tonight. Since he didn't play his own game and wanted to be in with the Six, I won't mind bidding him adieu. In another house, we could have had a contender.

They can't figure her out

But … but … I want to be in with the cool kids!

Sam's campaigning and seed-planting

Simply sleazy this season. Trashy indeed.

BB21: Power of Veto Show Blog Party - July 31

Okay, tonight we'll have the PoV comp. Word on the street is that it might have farm animals. Perhaps we shouldn't let Jackson near it? Speaking of Jackson, Entertainment Weekly, which is usually pro-BB, had a rather revealing article on Jackson right at this link. Hopefully something will be said on the live show tomorrow. I don't think they can keep ignoring the bad publicity or think by giving them a bit worse edit that fans will be happy.

I'll be live-blogging the major events as they air here on the East Coast. Refresh this page to get the latest update! As always, the real party is in the comments area -- please feel free to join in on the fun!

Previously on … and on.

We pick up at the end of the nominations ceremony with Nick and Sam on the block. Nick knew he's being targeted. Sam thinks he's supposedly a pawn. Mick and Sam are talking about the PoV players -- Nick wants to pick Jess because he could beat her and thinks that she would go home before Sam. Sam is still worried. Nicole is worried that either she or another one of her allies would go up as a replacement.

Kat tells Holly that she's willing to go up as a pawn if either Nick or Sam come down. They think, not only would it not "get blood on Holly's hands" but it would also conceal that they're working together. 

Time to pick veto players -- Holly randomly draws Tommy. Sam gets Houseguest's Choice and picks Cliff. Nick draws Jessica. Holly chooses Jack to host the comp.

Veto comp time! It's a farm setting. They're dressed in farmer gear. There are sheep for the sheeple! How fitting is that? They have to herd them head to head. Counting sheep is the name of the comp. The order is chosen for them.

Nick vs. Jess is the first pair facing off. Their target number is seven. They have to collect sheep with numbers adding up to the number seven. Nick wins and advances to the next round.

Holly and Sam next. Their target number is eight. Holly wins and advances.

Cliff and Tommy are next with a target number of nine. Tommy wins and advances.

Nick and Holly face off with a target number of 15. Nick wins the round and Holly is eliminated.

Nick and Tommy go for the final round. Their target number is 21.

NICK WINS THE POWER OF VETO! Sam is sad, but he says he's still going to try. Holly isn't pleased because Nick was her target.

Christie talks to Holly. Is this a sign from above? Is Sam the bigger threat? Holly says that if she puts up Kat, that's a pawn. If she puts up Nicole, that's a target. 

Christie and Tommy are given a poison ivy treatment -- bright pink "calamine lotion." 

Sam tried to talk to Holly -- he wants someone with baggage next to him on the block. He tells her he has no beef with her, would never go after her. She brings up Nicole to him. He says she tried to play both sides. She tells us there are big threats, but they're in her alliance. Maybe she could use Sam to take those shots.

Holly talks about Nicole with CHristie. Christie thinks that would be a waste because "she won't win anything." Sam could win an HoH. Christie tells us she thinks something fishy is going on because Holly is pushing the Nicole agenda. Tommy runs to Analyse with the intel. It's now a red flag to her. Cracks are cracking more in their alliance. 

Analyse runs to Jackson and Holly with the information. Jackson is getting more ticked about it than Holly. They don't like to hear that they're considered a couple. Well, duh. Maybe they shouldn't be a couple. Jackson is very disturbed that people think he might have a deal with Nick.

Jackson goes to Christie about the rumor that he and Holly are working with Nick and Sam. Hw claims it's Holly's HOH and not anyone else's. She talks to Holly to smooth things over. She brings Tommy in to talk with Holly. Now Holly thinks Analyse is planting seeds. Holly talks to Jackson. He says she doesn't have to bark at him. She was talking calmly, mind you.

Time for the veto meeting. Nick, of course, saves himself. In his place, Holly puts (the pawn) Kat on the block. Someone she doesn't talk a  lot of game with and doesn't know where her head is at. Yeah, right.

So, tomorrow night it will be either Sam or Kat leaving. 

BB21: Live Feeds into Tuesday Evening - July 30

I'm shocked she's kept the Tommy secret

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Frustrated Fans:

• This is going to be a bit brief tonight. I'm one of those frustrated fans, y'see.
• Sam, sure he's going home on Thursday, had been practicing a big throw Christie under the bus eviction speech. He wanted to blow up her game, tell how she conspired with others to go against members of her own alliance and all.
• He told Nicole the speech. She didn't seem to have  much reaction. I think she just might be happy she didn't get put on the block this week.
• However, Nick freaked at Sam's speech … mainly because some of the information to Sam came from him.
• He asked Sam not to do it because he is trying to get back in with them.
• What is wrong with Nick?
• Why doesn't he see that ship has sailed? They don't want him for anything but OUT.
• Sam seems to have backed down from his speech but told Nick he should know that he'll never really get back in with them.
• Of course, both Sam and Cliff have been running to them with information.
• Dang, all of this make Jess look better.
• Last night Jackson was (supposedly) sick and had to be seen be a doctor. He claimed he had been vomiting.
• Now, that couldn't be the week's worth of groceries he eats every singled day, could it?
• It got them talking -- apparently both Tommy and Cliff had diarrhea. They talked about undercooked chicken and some other things.
• I don't know. One day I saw them leave uncooked meat out on the table for hours and hours. Jackson drinks out of the communal drink jugs and eats out food storage containers with his bare hands.
• Tommy and Christie no longer have poison ivy.
• Holly and Jackson were talking. Jackson was going on about Kat, but Holly spoke up for her saying that she thinks some of the things he takes umbrage at (not how she termed it) were just Kat's way of deflecting things or stabs at humor.
• They also talked about once the Six get down. Holly was saying that they're likely to be targeted because they're a real couple. According to her, Tommy and Christie aren't a real couple. She's right.
• Then she said, "Sis and Jack aren't a couple. They're just two people who have sex together."
• She seems to ignore that Jackson had Kat before he had her.
• BB has put a "sex stool" in the non-camera HoH shower stall.
• Christie has been giving them tips on how to use it.
• @@
• Hey, CBS … I'm an adult. If I want to watch/hear about porn, I could go elsewhere. I'm so sick of the casting on BB that gets people who just want to jump in bed with each other.
• For the record -- No sex for Nicole, Jess, Cliff, Sam, Tommy, Christie, Kemi, Ovi, David (although he did have a flirtmance with Kat, but I'm okay with that). Of those, three are married, so it's a very good thing. 

Listening to Christie talk and talk

Sick last night, eating again today

BB21: Live Feeds Monday, PoV Meeting - July 29

The one who gets him out deserves the win

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Pompous Pups:

• Oh, the talk went back and forth.
• There are strong rumblings about the Jacks -- Jackson in particular.
• Like me, they sometimes call him Michie, sometimes call him Jackson.
• It would be nice if one of those names was a decent personality.
• But they both pretty much suck.
• The girls were talking about teaming up with Sam to take him out.
• What girls? Holly, Analyse and Christie.
• However, in order to keep Sam to work with them, they'd need to keep Sam.
• When Nick takes himself down with the veto, they'd have to put up someone who would go home instead of Sam.
• Y'know … if they put up Jackson, I'd just bet he'd go home!
• But … noooo. 
• They won't do that.
• The talk was on and off about putting Nicole up.
• Kat had volunteered to go up as a pawn. Of course, that would mean that Sam leaves this week.
• Holly wanted the HoH, but she sure doesn't want to make the decision. Now, she does have Jackson to tell her what to do, but ...1
• She took the easy way out.
• When Nick took himself down, she put Kat on the block.
• So, we have Sam and Kat on the block.
• You do realize that, for me, Kat is my big hope of actually making a move against Jackson.
• Sam could have been that hope. But he's blown it by repeatedly falling in as a sheep for the Six.
• He knows that they have no loyalty to him. He could have played differently all along.
• I do doubt they'll save him. They think of him as a strong person in comps. That he is. But aside from the comps and the one saving of Cliff, he's shown pretty bad strategy.
• Plus, unlike most of them, he probably earns more weekly than the stipend. He doesn't want to just make it to jury.
• In other news, Holly has her rash back now that she's sleeping in the HoH room with Jackson once again. She thinks they need an exterminator and the problem is in the HoH room.
• Odd. Cliff didn't get a rash sleeping in there.
• Nor did Nick or Bella.
• I believe it's Jackson.

Not lookin' too good for Sam

What does she add to the house? Seriously ...

The wolves will get Nicole soon enough

And then there's Cliff
