BB21: Live Feeds PoV Meeting Bulletin - August 19

Since Jackson made the nominations on Friday, Analyse and Christie have been begging, scheming, crying trying to convince him to take one of them down. Of course, each want off -- they're not trying to get each other off the block. They begged America. We guffawed. They begged production. They chuckled.

The PoV meeting was held today. Jackson did NOT use the Power of Veto.

Christie and Analyse remain on the block. And although it remains to be seen, it should be Christie going to the jury house this week.

BB21: HoH Completion, Nominations Show Blog Party - Aug. 18

Tonight should be a fun-filled show -- we get to watch the comedy of the Slip and Slide HoH competition play out. And, then there's the nominations. Since this is a show post, I ask that there are no spoilers before things air on the show itself. Such comments will be removed. Please stick to the live feeds posts with spoilers.

I'll be live-blogging the major events and updating this post as the show airs here on the East Coast. Refresh the page to get the latest news! As always, the real party is in the comments section. I hope to see you there!

I believe there's an under ten minute delay in the start of the show. I turned on 60 Minutes at 7:09pm here and it was just starting. 

8:08pm ET and we're into Previously On ...

We'll see how Jess caused chaos the night before Kat's eviction. Woot. N\But first ...

We get the Slip 'n Slide comp. They're fun to watch, not easy to report. Nicole tells us that she felt she had to vote out Kat to have the least amount of people mad at her. We get the standard "I have to win HoH" Diary Room clips in between action on the Slip 'n Slide. Analyse lies to Jess, telling her there is no alliance (you know, the one that doesn't include Jess). Holly and Analyse have a kerfuffle over things said to others. 

Christie, Jess and Analyse go to the Camp ComeBack room to talk privately. Christie denies an alliance, just a "group who will watch each other's backs and have a common target -- Jackson … then Holly." But Jackson heard them. Heh. Holly confronts Christie about the alliance (against them). Christie denies it and all is blamed on Jess. Back to a brief shot of the comp before going into commercial.

Nick took an early lead. He and Jackson seem to be doing the best. Now we get some falls. I always find it a miracle no one has broken any bones in this comp. Nick has started falling. Too bad, so sad. "Like a hippopotamus on a high wire," says Cliff. Jackson's straps fell down, so he took them off. Then his lederhosen pants fell off, so he's competing in his boxer shorts.

JACKSON/MICHIE wins HoH!

He tells us his initial instinct is to put Christy and Analyse on the block … or Christie and anybody. Cliff knows he's in a spot because he just made a deal last week with those Jackson is likely to target. 

Holly and Jackson talk about who to put up with Christie to make sure Christie would be the one to go home. Nick? Hmm. Risky. Christie and Analyse discuss whether Jackson will backdoor someone. Christie doesn't want to go on the block. Poor picked on baby.

Tommy knows that Jackson doesn't like Christie and wants her out. He's made an effort to get along with everyone and feels it's best for his own game would be to not get involved. 

Cliff tells Jackson that Christie and company took him in to target him (Jackson) in the deal last week. Cliff apologizes. Jackson is angry that they used Cliff to do their dirty work, but not at Cliff.

I can't help but notice the show directs them to call Jackson Michie in the Diary Room. But in normal house conversations, they usually call him Jackson. So, that's why I call him Jackson in my posts. We get a bunch of Jackson/Holly clips.

Heh. A funny segment on Analyse not knowing the days get "shorter" as fall approaches. She thinks that means the time will go quicker. 

Jackson and Holly discuss the nominations. He wants to put up Christie and Analyse because only one can come down. He knows Analyse would be a vote for Christie to stay. He thought about Tommy but thinks he can work with him if Christie is gone.

Christie talks to Jackson, telling her there was no alliance and she wasn't the one who decided to get Cliff in on it. He doesn't tell her that he's putting her up. But he doesn't tell her he isn't. He tells her he's here to play the game.

They discuss the NJ Garden State Parkway and how close Christie and Tommy live to each other -- three exits apart. Cliff is there. Tommy is ticked that it hints they might know each other. By the way, I'm 131 or so, close but I insist I don't know them.

Jackson talks to Analyse, telling her she's not the target this week. He took in from the talk to beware of Nick. He didn't tell her he won't put her on the block.

A segment of Analyse's chicken punishment -- laying an egg, clucking, cooking eggs according to direction and delivering to the others.

Jackson talks to Nick, tells him he needs to target the people working against him. Nick just listens. Jackson is now more leery of Nick, thinking he confirmed that he (Jackson) is the target. He tells Holly that Cliff didn't make the deal, it was Nick. Nick is now on the list of who they want gone.

Time for the Nominations Ceremony. Jackson first nominates Christie, then Analyse. He tells them if he hadn't won HoH, he'd be there. He came to win and they're threats to his game, not personal.

BB21: Live Feeds into Sunday Morning - August 18

How dare you have fun when Christie

 is in such dire straits!

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

• The PoV comp (blocked to the live feeds) was a puzzle.
• Jackson said that the second he saw it, he felt bad -- he thinks his least comp talent is puzzles.
• However, from what he and the others said, he blew right on through it.
• Both Analyse and Christie have been crying on and off.
• They begged the live feeders for some kind of power to save them.
• Well, Christie had a power she let expire.
• And, after all, we did give Analyse a chicken suit.
• After all the fussing they made last week that America hates them due to the field trip "win" they should know that we don't like them.
• Jackson knows it. But he's playing right -- winning comps and thinking strategically.
• He has improved a lot since Jack's been out of the house.
• That doesn't really excuse his earlier behavior. I still want him gone. But I want to use him as a weapon against Christie and Nick. Then he can go.
• Analyse? Eh. She's rather inconsequential.
• Jackson has told Analyse over and over (and over again) that Christie is the target. He put her up because 1. she wouldn't go home against Christie 2. it takes a vote to keep Christie off the table. He told her that he didn't put Nick up against Christie because he really wants Christie out and Nick just might go instead.
• Cliff is now denying there was any "real" five deal last week. He'll go where the power is and knows that, of Analyse and Christie, Christie is the more dangerous player. He can jury cover it with voting with the house.
• Tommy is doing his normal "friends with everyone" bit and Christie is salty over that. However, that's what will keep him in the house long after she's gone. I'm not really a Tommy fan, but he does have them rather hoodwinked because he's the first one to console upset people and he comes across to all of them as just a caring kind of guy.
• Holly and Jackson have been working more to get Nicole in the fold.
• Christie told Analyse and Tommy that two spirit guides came to her during the night and told her she can get through this. Okay ... shades of Kaitlyn.
• I fully expect Jackson will keep his nominations the same tomorrow.
• I also expect that, as long as they do remain the same, we will see Christie walk out the door on Thursday with a rather landslide vote against her.
• I also expect a lot of tears and weirds between now and then.
• Tonight's show will be work the watch because the Slip and Slide is always amusing ... and I just want to see her face when she's nominated!

It really wasn't the comp for me.

America - send me a power! 

We gave you a chicken suit.

My spirit guides tell me I'll get through this.

For the 100th time, Sis. Christie is my target.

There was never a five deal last week.

BB21: Live Feeds PoV Winner Bulletin - August 17

Despite my fears that Tommy would be chosen to play for the veto, win it and take Christie off the block again … that did not happen.

He was chosen to host the veto while Jackson, Analyse and Christie would play the comp with Cliff, Holly and Nick.

JACKSON WON THE VETO.

BB21: Live Feeds into Friday Night, Nominations - Aug. 16

"I never DO anything!" We know.

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

• Even though his mind was set up before winning HoH that he wants Christie out, Jackson did take time to talk to everyone.
• Despite his initial thinking of putting Tommy and Christie up and then his secondary thought of Christie and Cliff, that's not what he did.
• He has never heard or experienced any issues about either Tommy or Nick coming after him, but has with Christie and Analyse.
• Hmm. WE know that Tommy is totally linked with Christie more than Jackson would think.
• We also know that Nick goes whichever way the power goes.
• Jackson has taken Cliff, Jess and Nicole under his wing despite the fact that Cliff just last week aligned with Christie and company.
• In his talk with Jackson, Cliff told him he had to do it to stay in the game and that's all he really cares about -- he'll work with Jackson whatever he wants.
• Yep, that's Cliff for you! But, right now Jackson will take it.
• Nick does have influence over Nicole (unfortunately). But I think Nicole will definitely team up with Jess and go with her. And Jess will go with Jackson.
• When all was said and done, Jackson made it clear that Christie was the target and Analyse was on the block with her because they both talked about trying to get him out of the house.
• He talked with Tommy after the noms. 
• Tommy told him that if he gets chosen to play for the veto, he will try to win it and take Christie down.
• Jackson told him he understands.
• But … will Tommy do so? If he thinks about it, it wouldn't be the best thing for his own game at this point. If he thinks he has a shot at winning, he needs to shed Christie. If he doesn't play veto or loses it, he'll have a stronger connection with Jackson, Holly and company rather than the power of one Christie.
• The plan is if Christie gets taken down, Cliff will go up and Analyse will get evicted. If Analyse gets taken off the block, Cliff goes up and Christie gets evicted. If Christie is up there no matter who is with her, Christie gets evicted..
• Hmm.
• Veto is tomorrow. 

Obligatory after noms hugging session

Purely strategical. She wants to target me.

Watermelon culinary lesson for Cliff

"I'm a strong woman," she cries.
