BB21: Live Feeds into Monday - August 12 UPDATED POV

Creeping me out more than Jackson these days

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

• Okay, I'm officially discouraged with this season of BB.
• Had production not secretly inserted two people with a lengthy prior relationship and no others really in the same situation, things would be going differently.
• That said, it's amazing that Tommy and Christie have kept the secret.
• But it shouldn't be happening in the first place. It sets them up for an advantage no one else has in the game. Yes, there are others who kind of know each other, but nothing so intense.
• With Christie now as the third nominee, Tommy can save her with his veto and not have to put up another nominee -- get no more "blood on his hands" than he already has.
• Before the field trip, he had told Cliff he'd try to take him down with the veto if he won it.
• That's out of the window now … or, like I like to say -- defenestrated.
• I can't really blame Tommy for making the easy all around move. I do think he will eventually turn on Christie, but not yet.
• If he were to save either Kat or Cliff, he'd have to come up with another nominee.
• So, logically, that ain't gonna happen.
• Right now it looks that, of Kat and Cliff, Cliff will have more votes to stay.
• Nicole, kind of the swing vote, told Cliff she'd vote to keep him and they've had more loyalty all along than she and Kat have had.
• Holly and Jackson will likely vote to keep Kat.
• Jess has had an on and off relationship with Kat, will probably vote for Cliff to stay.
• Nick would probably vote to keep Cliff as would Christie and Analyse.
• At this point, I'd personally prefer Kat stay. She's more entertaining to me and, since Cliff's unexplained and irrational fear of David, I'm a bit leery of him.
• I predict the winner of BB21 will be someone I don't really like.
• Sigh.
• In other news: In other news, Analyse doesn't simply have to wear the chicken costume. Kind of like how Paulie did, she has "tasks" along with the costume.
• When she gets the signal, she has to go outside and "lay an egg" then go to the storage room for a basket of eggs and cook them according to directions.
• Guess what?
• She really doesn't know how to cook. She had trouble understanding how to boil water for hard-boiled eggs.
• She seems to be taking it in good enough spirits.
• Jackson has been offering to help her.
• As time goes on in the house, Jackson (other than rampant sex with Holly) is showing better behavior without Jack around.
• On the other hand, Nick is coming across as more bullying and just creeping me out more and more.
• Oh, well. The veto meeting should be later today. While it would be fantastic if Tommy let the noms all remain (hey, it could be fore his aunt!), I don't see it happening.
• Oh … and Tommy's punishment ended. He's no longer in costume.
• That's it for now.
• Wah.
• UPDATE - The suspense is over -- Tommy saved Christie. Kat and Cliff remain on the block.

I so see why the break-up was dramatic

Will go the easy choice

Already consider Christie safe

BB21: Field Trip & Nominations Show Blog Party - August 11

Come one, come all! It's time for a field trip! I'll be live blogging the major events as they air here on the East Coast. Since I'll be constantly updating this post, please refresh to see the latest news! As always, the real party is in the comments area -- please feel free to join in on the fun.

Remember, this show post is a SPOILER FREE ZONE. While we know the outcome of the PoV, it will not be airing on tonight's show. Any comments pertaining to it will be removed. Thank you!

Previously on … yada-yada-yada …

"A new twist will send Tommy's HOH upside-down." That, of course, would be the field trip.

We pick up the action after Tommy wins HoH … on his birthday. He tells us that the Six Shooters will come back together. I would call them the Faulty Five if that happens. Jess is pleased that she got Jack out and that the six broke up. She hopes they don't try to get back together.

Christie is thrilled by Tommy winning. She thinks the Universe rewarded loyalty. Gag me now. Cliff talks with his gals, hopes he can count on them. He thinks he and Jackson will probably go on the block.

Kat is worried because Tommy tried to get the vote flipped the week she and Sam were on the block. Holly and Jackson think that Tommy shouldn't stay aligned with Christie. No one in the house is aware that Tommy and Christie have known each other for a decade or so. Tommy tells Jackson that he thinks the Six Shooters should come together. Jackson tells us he's not real happy with that, but it's Tommy's HoH.

Christie goes to Tommy's HOH room, cocky because she's sure she's safe. He tells her that he would like Kat and Cliff on the block. Christie thinks Kat is dangerous but close with Holly. Tommy tells her he might even take Cliff down and put Nicole up just to make sure Kat goes home.

Cliff goes to plead his case to stay off the block. He tells Tommy he has no alliance and is working by himself. Tommy promises him that if he does go on the block, he's not the target. Tommy wants to keep the door open to work with Cliff sometime down the road.

Kat is very worried and, at this moment, is being consoled by Jackson. She goes to talk to Tommy. Love, love all around. @@  She tells him that she would never put him up on the block and would never hurt his game. She tells us that's a lie. Tommy tells her he's not telling anyone what he's going to do. He denies that the Six are getting back together. She can tell he's lying. 

America's Field Trip is announced and they run to the living room monitor. They were told America has been voting and explain the "prizes." Jackson, Analyse and Christie "win." Of course, the prizes are 1. safety for the week, 2. punishment, 3. third nomination.

Jackson recognizes it's more of a hit list of people not liked. Christie is in tears because she thinks it's something people who LOVE her wouldn't pick. 

Analyse offers to Tommy to throw the comp so that Christie would stay. Tommy told her no but said to us that it might be for the best. Christie comes in and Analyse offers to throw it. Tommy tells her it's a good idea and if Christie sits on the block, they might just take a shot at her.

The ones not on the field trip watch on the living room monitor. It's the getting an egg up through the chicken wire, then down a ramp. Egscape the Coop. Angry chickens are atop the cages. We've seen this comp before. They have to spell out SAFE with four eggs they retrieve. Analyse tells us she plans to throw the comp so Christie won't go on the block. Jackson wants to win it and wants Christie to go on the block.

They talk about America hating them. Analyse doesn't think they could hate her because she "barely talks." I'm sure she was the alternate, mainly due to her connection with Jack. With Jack and Tommy getting votes and not eligible, she was next.

Jackson wins the safety! Christie is doing so poorly that there's no way Analyse could throw it without everyone realizing it.

Analyse comes in second and gets the punishment. Christie is the third nomination!

So … she cries at us in a DR segment. She's starting think America hates her. Aw, poor baby. I don't "hate" her. I just want her out of the house. I find her very annoying and think the Tommy real life connection is unfair to the rest of the house, should never have happened.

Tommy tells them it's not because America hates them. Jackson disagrees. Christie cries some more. Kat is thrilled Christie is up on the block. 

Just about everyone but Tommy and Christie are happy she's on the block. Amalyse told Tommy she really tried but it would have been so obvious. Christie comes in and cries to them. Nick comes in and tells Christie if he wins the veto, he would save her.

Amalyse gets called to the DR for her punishment. She's in a chicken costume for a week. Nicole is scared of birds, so they play up on that.

Kat goes to Tommy with a deal -- she points out that if Christie remains on the block, she'd be a vote for her to stay. She tells us it's a big maybe, probably not. Tommy again says he doesn't know what he's going to do.  

Time for the nominations ceremony. Tommy first nominates Cliff, then Kat. He says he's sorry and fears they have good working relationships with everyone in the house, go for the veto.

So we have Kat, Cliff and Christie on the block. 

BB21: Live Feeds PoV Bulletin - Saturday, August 10

Most of the day before the feeds got blocked for the veto competition were consumed by Christie's drama and crying. I just can't write up a report on then.

The veto comp is over and the feeds are back.

Tommy won the veto. There goes my joy.

BB21: Live Feeds into Friday Night, Noms - August 9

Why the long face, Christie?

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Triple Tripsters:

• Three were voted to go on the field trip. They thought it a good thing.
• Three prizes were awarded. One was safe from the block. One was a costume punishment. One was a nomination for eviction in addition to the two Tommy will choose.
• Jackson won the field trip comp. So, he's safe for the week.
• No big deal as he already was safe with Tommy as HoH.
• Analyse was second in the comp, so she gets the costume. We all know she's not the brightest bulb in the pack, so being a dumb cluck is just about right for her.
• Christie did the worst in the comp. Oopsie! She's a third nomination this week!
• The ones remaining in the house were able to watch the comp on the living room monitor.
• They know the comp was an America Votes thing.
• Most are thinking it was popularity.
• Tommy seems to realize that it was more along the lines of who's not liked by America. With Jack out of the running, Tommy seems to understand the only reason he wasn't in the comp is due to being HoH.
• Yet, he did go through with his planned Kat/Cliff nominations (with Kat being the target).
• Now, earlier ha had been telling Cliff he'd take him down, that he's up as a pawn and all.
• But all that has changed.
• He's now telling Christie he'll take her down if he wins the veto.
• Christie is rotating between being slightly manic to being teary.
• Then she pretends to be stoic.
• When it comes to drawing for veto players, Christie will NOT get a chance to draw a chip.
• Much will depend on the veto and if the three remain on the block as they are.
• On what I thought of as a funny note -- Nicole, Holly and Jackson were together in a room. Jackson started attacking Holly with what she called his "crab toes" grip. Um, those might not be the only crabs, Holly? (No one else in the HoH has had mysterious rashes on their thighs and back.)

Keeps sliding through the cracks

Knew Analyse was a dumb cluck ...

Maxwell Smart ain't got nuthin' 

on Holly's foot phone

BB21: Live Feeds Field Trip Bulletin - August 9

The live feeds were blocked for about seven hours as the field trip "winners" had their competition. Remember, one will be safe for a week, one gets a punishment and one gets to be a third nomination this week. I believe it goes by order of winning.

Guess who's the third nomination? CHRISTIE

Yep, it's what we wished for! 

Jackson won the week's safety while Analyse will have the punishment costume (not in it as of yet).

Tommy still wants Kat to be evicted. Actual nominations have yet to be made.
