BB21: Live Feeds into Thursday Morning - August 15

A sad day when these two seem "normal"

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother House of Morals? What are morals?

• Before we get going … it looks like tonight's HoH comp will be an endurance comp played out on the live feeds. I will supply an update post after the live show to cover it.
• AND … if you live in the NYC viewing area, WCBS2 is airing some Jets football game. The sister station -- WLNY 10/55 will be airing the regularly scheduled CBS line-up at the regularly scheduled times. Check your local listings to see what station number they are. For me, it's 10. I assume it must be 55 in some places!
• Okay … to the feeds.
• Sigh.
• First off, Nick has jumped in bed with Analyse (although he probably wouldn't mind jumping in bed with Tommy).
• She is returning his attentions and there's a lot of undercover actions.
• On Twitter, Bella dropped him like a hot potato.
• I don't really see why she's surprised. After all, he jumped right in bed with her, too.
• She had previously defended her own tryst with him claiming she's an adult and it's her decision to make. Oh, yeah … and there was that love thing supposedly going on.
• I'm beginning to think the only "love" on the show this season is the love of sex. Now, if it was behind closed doors in their own homes, I wouldn't mind. But they brought it into mine. They're on camera and they know it.
• Sleaze.
• I fear Nick has slimed his way into Nicole's game. No way would he slime his way into her bed, but …!
• She went and told him about Cliff's Angels.
• Now, I do like Nicole probably the best of all in this house. But she has made some poor game decisions. Perhaps it will get her further in the game and she'll win every comp at the end.
• But I doubt it.
• Holly is still pretty dead-fast in wanting to keep Kat this week.
• Jackson, on the other hand, doesn't feel he could vote for Cliff to leave because of loyalty stuff.
• There was a big kerfuffle over the Six alliance, with Christie denying Tommy was ever really in it, Jess claiming it was seven and a big mess all around.
• Christie got all dramatic (surprising, I know) and denied there ever was any kind of alliance.
• Jess kept stirring the pot. You go, girl!
• No fisticuffs, but lots of hurt feelings and angry aardvarks.
• I just can't keep up with all these alliance changes by the minute this year.
• The only totally together allies seem to be Christie and Tommy -- the unfair pairing with a long-term previous relationship unknown to the rest of the house.
• Although … Cliff did make a comment yesterday about how they lived so close to each other, they just might know each other.
• Kat cried, not only for her own predicament, but the fact that she thinks Jess will be targeted if she (Kat() gets evicted.
• It's just a huge mess in there with people all over the place.
• I do think it's probably going to be Kat going tonight.
• But don't quote me on it.

Thrilling times, eh?

Doubt she'll win HoH this week

Total sleaze-bucket.

No dignity, not even for a chicken

Well, at least she isn't sex-crazed

BB21: Power of Veto Show Blog Party - August 14

Thankfully that awful yet renewed summer show is over and we're back to our 8pm ET/PT Wednesday night show. 

I'll be live blogging and constantly updating this post with the major show events as they air here on the East Coast. As always, the real party is in the comments area -- please feel free to join in on the fun!

Just a note for people in the NYC viewing area -- tomorrow's live eviction show will air on WLNY 10/55 instead of WCBS2 due to football.

I'll sit through the Previously On twiddling my thumbs once again.

The narrator promises us the annual OTEV comp. Woot.

We pick up the action after Tommy nominates Cliff and Kat. Tommy tells us that Cliff is definitely a pawn and Kat needs to go home. But he's very worried that Christie is on the block as the third nominee. Christie is crying … of course. Cliff would just as soon Christie go home, Jackson thinks the same.

Kat knows she's in danger, so she cries. Cliff does not cry, thank heavens. Jackson consoles her and tells her if he wins the veto he will help her. Cliff talks to her and says it's best that Christie stays on the block as she would go over Kat.

Now we're back to Christie crying. She tells Nick she believes in Karma. I do, too. She really thinks America doesn't like her. Heh. It's evident in the DR bits that if she remains on the block, without a doubt, she'll be voted out.

EW. A segment about Nick being in dreams, touching people. He has a crush on Tommy. Tommy thinks Nick is amazing? Well, that's at least according to the show edit, I guess. 

Into a segment on Tommy shunning his costume and all of the speed of light, etc. rounds through the house.

Time to pick veto players -- Only two chips are pulled by Tommy due to the extra nominee. He first pulls, Christie … she picks Nick. He pulls Cliff who chooses Jackson (thinking he'd keep Christie up on the block).

Cliff is determined to survive another week. He's staring at the Memory Wall. He thinks he wants it more than many. So he dances. It looks like he's lost the weight Jackson has gained.

Analyse, in her chicken costume, talks to Jackson telling him she trusts him and Holly. She tells us she feels alone and it's best to get the six (or so) back together. Jackson tells her it's a chance to take a shot at Christie without them having the blood on their hands. She tells him that she's been thinking the same but on the other hand she's a big target and be a shield. Jackson is adamant he wants her out. He lets her think he agrees, but tells us he wants Christie out.

Time for the comp. OTEV is a Paranoid Pigeon. He wants them to stop staring at him. Pigeon patrol! Glop comes down on them. It's working the same as every OTEV.

In the first round, it's Cliff having a wrong item and he needs to go back. Will he make it back in time? Jackson is the only other one still looking. Cliff makes it back. All were correct and Jackson is out because he was last.

Round 2: It's a struggle between Kat and Cliff and she's in tears thinking she knocked him down. He's not upset, says his leg is bad and she needs to go on. Cliff is out.

Round 3: Christie out.

Round 4: It's down to Tommy, Nick and Kat in the comp. Kat out of it now.

Round 5: TOMMY wins the Power of Veto!

Christie is just as happy as if she had won it herself. After all, she "manifested" it. @@ In my opinion, it's just another failed production twist -- I'm peeved that Tommy and Christie have the advantage of really knowing each other well outside if the house.

Veto Meeting - Tommy uses the veto to save Christie (big surprise there). Since she was the third nominee on America's Field Trip, there is no renom. It's Kat and Cliff remaining on the block. 

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.
