BB21: Live Eviction and HoH Comp Show Blog Party - Aug. 22

Here we are at the anxiously awaited live eviction show. Tonight it will be either Christie or Analyse going home. Hopefully, time permitting. we'll have a new HoH by the time the live show ends. I haven't seen any different news on that this week although they seem to like to drag it as filler for the Sunday show.

I'm thinking next week might be the double eviction. But don't quote me on that. I just think it's about that time.

Lifeguard SueGee has updated the blog pool and you can find the latest standings at THIS POST LINKED RIGHT HERE.

I'll be live-blogging the major events as the show airs here on the East Coast. Since I'll constantly be updating this post, you'll need to refresh the page to get the latest news. As always, the real party is in the comments area -- please feel free to join in on the fun!

Julie never looks right in fluffy tops. Sitting through "previously on." Ah, they will be showing part of the Taco Tuesday brouhaha from er, well … Tuesday. 

Julie tells us the votes have continued to flip. Uh-oh. A brand new twist Prank Week will change the new HoH power. Hmm.

But first … time for Christie to manifest a miracle. Christie thinks Nick struck a deal with Jackson and was responsible for her being on the block. When he talked to Christie, Nick denied making any deals with Jackson. Christie tells Tommy she's going to fight. She tells us that she needs to make Nick Public Enemy Number One and really seems to be blaming him for her current predicament.

Christie goes to talk to Jackson and tells him she has a campaign against Nick. He's a swindler and plays everyone. Jackson tells her it's her best chance is to blow up Nick's game. He suggests it be done on Taco Tuesday. She feels she has nothing to lose. She tells Tommy, Jess and Nicole. "It can't go wrong."

Meanwhile Nick has gotten wind of what she's planning. He talks to Jackson. Jackson is encouraging Nick to blow up Christie's game. He's quite pleased with himself -- he thinks it takes him out of the target spotlight.

Nick goes to call her out. We get Taco Tuesday as promised. Appropriate music and all. Suspenseful music as Nick confronts Christie. She accuses him of being dramatic. He says he's always been honest. "Manifest the truth, bro!" he tells her. She says he's protected people and thrown comps. She claims he's manipulative. He starts clapping his hands and getting way overly excited. She says no one is coming after him and he knows it. She says she's valuable because she's the biggest target and she's willing to take a shot at him. Rats. They made Taco Tuesday so brief. It lasted about 40 minutes and got really crazy on the feeds.

Now Holly is thinking to Jackson that it would be better to get Sis out and use Christie. Now it's a quandary … keep Christie to get rid of Nick later or not?

To the live vote, living room.

Analyse -- Amazing summer, athlete, would like to stay, loyal game, stayed true to who she is, all decisions she made to further her own game, Christie best friend in house, love all.
Christie -- Shout outs, HG made this most memorizing, speaks highly of Analyse, loves game, fighter, all I have is my word, keep deals, truth and authenticity, you trust me, I trust you. Longevity.

The votes to evict:
Jess -- Analyse
Nick -- Christie
Tommy -- Analyse
Holly -- Analyse
Nicole -- Analyse
Cliff -- Analyse

I guess the truth has been manifested, bro.

Julie tells them the results (although it's no surprise to any at this time), Analyse nods her head at 5 to 1. She tells Julie it was the blow up between Nick and Christie that got her out because she would have worked with Nick. She feels betrayed by Jackson. She's just confused by everything. (Well, duh.) What about Jack? In the extended interview, as well as goodbye messages.

Last night the hamsters had a bird watching/bird calls video playing and they think it's part of the HoH comp. So, they study it. Nicole, who's scared of birds, is upset that there are so many birds this summer. The bird noises go on through the night.

They go to the backyard to start off Prank Week. Julie tells them all the studying was for nothing and that it kicks off a new twist for Prank Week. They're all in voting booths set up. It's a skill game, they turn around and make it to the circle markers behind them.

Really time for the comp now. Julie tells them this week America will vote to prank whoever becomes HoH. The HoH will be safe, but duties affected. Prank Shot. Roll ball down slot, where ball lands is score. Longer is higher. Two lowest scores will have a punishment fit for prank week.

Holly up first -- 50, highest score possible
Cliff - 18
Nick - 34
Nicole - 18
Christie - 21
Jess - 3
Tommy - 41

HOLLY wins HoH! Hmm … there's a two-way tie for second worst score. Will three get punishments? I guess we'll find out!

Yes, three get them -- Jess, Nicole, Cliff … will find out the punishment later.

Julie tells us we can prank Holly by giving another HG half her power. Heh. We ought to vote Nick. We get to pick one nominee and if our nominee is taken down, we name the renom.   

ZingBot returns this week.

BB21: Live Feeds into Thursday - August 22

Get some game, Nicole! You need to do so!

Here's the latest from inside that Big Brother house of Disappointing Dolts:

• Just when I was thinking Jackson has good game skillz, he blows it.
• This is going to be short.
• But not sweet.
• However, you feed followers need to know.
• Christie, with much assistance from Holly (who doesn't like Analyse at all), seems to have managed to flip the vote.
• Analyse should end up blindsided tonight even though Jackson assured her, promised her, that she was a pawn and wouldn't go home. Even though Jackson has had his target set on Christie for weeks.
• It's all over.
• Christie went around promising everybody everything on Earth to stay in the game.
• Was it her spirit guides? Or did she manifest this change of plans?
• Actually, I don't think production had anything or much at all if anything, to do with it.
• Y'see, Holly is still at a loss since Kat left and she is persuasive both when it comes to Jackson and other folks. She does NOT like Analyse and, for some odd reason, thinks they can work with Christie better down the line.
• So, a piece of furniture will end up going home.
• Perhaps Jackson will come to his senses.
• But what good would it do at this point?
• He has no vote and there wouldn't be time to re-change the vote of the others who were convinced by Holly and Christie.
• Argh.
• Tommy is not happy. 
• Jackie is not happy.

I cannot identify with them.

Always going with the flow ...

A summer at home would be more relaxing

She manifested this!

Tommy is not liking the flip

BB21: Power of Veto Show Blog Party - August 21

Christie and Analyse are on the block. Do we want those nominations changed? Perhaps Christie might manifest her way to a win? Ya never know. (Well, we do know but those are spoilers not to be in the comments of this show post, thank you very much).

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 area -- please feel free to join in on the fun!

Let's get through the Previously On ... I did notice that the narrator called "Michie" Jackson at one point.

We pick up at the end of the nominations ceremony. Christie knows she's the target, but the universe will have her win the veto. Analyse is out of the chicken suit, but upset to be on the block. 

The nominees bond more while talking about how fake everyone else is. Analyse wants Tommy to win the veto. She thinks that whoever she's sitting next to will go home because she's so well-liked by all. Cough.

Tommy wants Christie to win the veto, but he needs to think of himself. He gets along well with Jackson/Holly, unlike Christie. Jackson and Tommy talk -- they have been loyal. Jackson tells us he loves Tommy but if Sis comes down, the only way to ensure Christie going home would be to put up Tommy.

Christie had the epiphany that Nick must be working with Holly and Jackson. She thinks he's manipulating others. Analyse wants Christie to come off the block since she's her number one ally in the game. Of course, she thinks she herself is so well liked that she'll stay no matter who is next to her on the block. @@ Christie tells Nick that she wants for him to be honest -- if they get him for veto, will he save one of them. He tells her he would save Analyse. Now, that sets off Christie because she knows she's the target.

Time to pick players for the veto comp! Jackson randomly draws Cliff. Christie gets Nick. (Heh.) Analyse gets Holly.

Christie is increasing her distrust of Nick. She is sure he's working with Jackson. And, of course, he already told her he'd save Analyse. Tommy is bewildered where the distrust of Nick started. Nick is angry that he's been "nothing but transparent" in the game and people he trusts don't trust him. He talks to Christie and voices that while she's saying she trusts him but is getting concerned that he's working with Jackson.

Christie cries to Tommy about it. He tells her to be strong. Because it's hard to do thought bubbles, the show gives us funny subtitles. Tommy is her hero.

Veto comp time! The backyard is a seascape. Nicole is reminded of The Little Mermaid. BB Scuba Camp. Must put the sea life back in balance. Take the ten ocean creatures back one at a time, hanging them off the ground on a mobile contraption. First one with all wins. Coral Greef. It's a bit of a physical puzzle.

JACKSON wins the PoV!

Christie cries to us. Wah.

Jackson is thrilled that he can keep the noms the same and Christie will go home. 

We're into a fluff segment. Then into Christie crying because Tommy and Holly were playing "Bay Watch" while she's suffering. How dare he have fun … and with HOLLY. How dare he. More tears. He goes in to apologize to her. He tells us he can't waste his dream because she's ruining hers.

She tells us, through tears, that the only things that might save her are the powers of manifestation or her words. But she does note her words got her there in the first place. 

Christie tells Jackson and Holly she loves both of them. She thinks she's going home but offers them two weeks of protection and rejoin up with them to an extent. She thinks America would love the "comeback story."

No. We wouldn't like it. I think I can honestly speak for America in this case.

So, she cries more. And begs more. Jackson tells her she's his biggest threat when it comes to the win. Nothing she can say or do can mend the damage she's done to him.

Time for the veto meeting. Jackson does NOT use the veto. Both Christie and Analyse remain on the block. He tells them he picked them for a reason and must follow through with it.

BB21: Live Feeds into Wednesday - August 21

It's a brouhaha! Jess & Cliff reactions

Here's the latest from inside than Big Brother House of Taco Tuesday Throwdown:

• Finally we have a brouhaha! It went past the kerfuffle stage.
• No fisticuffs, though.
• Y'see, Christie has been saying she wanted to "expose" Nick's game to all and she wanted to do it during their Taco Tuesday dinner gathering.
• But then she had second thoughts. Holly was working hard to prepare the meal, Christie wanted to talk to everyone on Wednesday, campaigning for votes. She just didn't think the dinner was the time to do it.
• Then comes Jackson.
• Christie had been telling Jackson of her plans to blow up Nick's game.
• Jackson told Nick.
• And, then he actually egged Nick on when it looked like Christie was backing out of a brouhaha.
• It worked.
• As Holly worked on making the dinner, Nick started yelling for Christie to go ahead and blow up his game as she planned.
• She really did try to resist, but finally went for it.
• Mind you, I believe all of her animosity towards Nick is that she thinks he should be on the block instead of her. That's my opinion, anyway.
• Picture the scene -- Holly working by the oven, most of the others peacefully sitting there awaiting Taco Tuesday and their Kumbaya-esque traditional "Gratitude Circle."
• Then a shot rang out! The maid screamed! And the brouhaha was ON!
• Okay, there was no gunshots; there isn't a maid, but ...!
• Nick stood by the refrigerator while Christie was seated at the table.
• Nick went absolutely berserk! Screaming, clapping his hands, jumping up and down.
• Amazingly, Christie, albeit excitable, was the calmer of the two. Who woulda thunk it?
• Both brought up stuff from the beginning of the game.
• Nick went on about her lies. She went on about his lies. He denied ever lying in the game.
• She went on about him saying that everybody likes him and it's not his fault that they do.
• She kept saying how great of a game he was playing. But, for some reason, her repeatedly saying it didn't make it seem like any kind of compliment. She was more going for how manipulative he is.
• He screamed more. Clapped his hands more and was really out of control.
• I loved it. You know how I like a good brouhaha!
• Best live feeds of the summer so far! Woot!
• The sideshow of the reactions of the others was as good as the fighting two.
• Jess's facial reactions came across to me as scary -- kind of like "Don't make ME get into this, I'll END it!'
• Cliff looked like he was looking for popcorn to watch.
• Jackson was trying to keep from laughing aloud as he sipped coffee.
• Tommy looked like he wanted to disappear and probably was praying his name wouldn't be brought up by either of them.
• Analyse tried to be invisible and, when Christie tried to get her involved, she said, "Don't bring me into this!"
• Holly kept working by the oven.
• Nicole looked visibly upset at the chaos. Her reaction, seeing as she claims to be a superfan, was a bit revealing. She seemed to think things like this don't happen.
• In the end, nothing was really resolved nor were any secrets exposed that weren't already known.
• At the end, it was Nick who stormed off, went to the bedroom, climbed in bed and cried. Analyse, then Tommy, went in to check on him.
• Right after the brouhaha, Christie stayed around in the kitchen apologizing to the others and telling Holly she felt so bad because she (Holly) worked so hard to make the dinner.
• Holly, with the best line of the night, said: "That's okay. We got dinner and a show."
• Later Nicole talked to Tommy, telling her how much it upset her. To me, it looked like they were upset about the fight for two different reasons. Nicole seemed to cringe away from it more because the anger seriously bothered her. Tommy looked more like a kid whose parents were fighting -- he just didn't want to be in the middle of it.
• Nicole was upset because it looked like Jackson was enjoying it.
• Well, he was ... he actually instigated it!
• And, naturally, all the serious BB fans on the internet were loving it. We all love a truly well done brouhaha! We're horrible people, I guess.
• A few did end up eating the tacos.
• Christie did end up crying.
• Analyse once again panicked thinking now she'll be voted out instead of Christie. Nah, Christie will be going.
• There was no gratitude circle.
• Oh. And Nick drank out of a gallon jug in the middle of the brouhaha. If I were there, I don't think I'd drink anything already opened in the refrigerator.
• The rest of the night was uneventful for the most part.

Tommy wants to hide

Nicole is very uncomfortable

And then Nick cried

BB21: Live Feeds into Tuesday Evening - August 20

Cliff clutches Orwell for BBAD air time

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

• Nothing too interesting has really gone down since the PoV meeting yesterday.
• Well, one thing did. But we don't really know that much about it for sure.
• Last night there may have been audio sent into the backyard blowing up the Christie/Tommy connection.
• Or, there may not.
• Whatever happened took the feeds to fish and delayed the start of BBAD.
• And, they're not allowed to talk about it.
• Only a few of them were in the backyard when it happened.
• Jackson and Cliff were there.
• But anytime anyone asks, we go to fish or switch cameras.
• Cliff brought it up in his Cliff Notes this morning referring to it as an "unsettling" event, not important enough to go into detail, won't change anything anyhow.
• Hmm.
• If it was an attempt to blow up the Christie and Tommy connection, it should have been done weeks ago.
• It's not like Christie won't be voted out this week and it would just hurt Tommy's game which would be his own after she's out.
• Oh, well.
• In other news, Christie and Analyse are both still begging for powers, buttons, whatever.
• Analyse has been told time and time again that she's safe, yet she persists.
• Christie wants to blow up Nick's game, perhaps at dinner this evening unless she chickens out. She talked to Jackson about it.
• Of course, just about all of them know Nick's game so it would just be drama for the sake of drama.
• Nicole is the one most blinded by Nick. She needs to not think he's so cool. Because he ain't.
• Nick really should be talked to by the DR for his touchy feely humpy sort of ways. The show's edit made the TV viewers think Tommy has a thing for him. He doesn't. And, Nick's behavior is extremely inappropriate.
• Plus he's all over the girls, too.
• EW.
• Not too much going on -- tonight they're finding stuff to do their own personal arts and crafts. Tomorrow Christie plans on campaigning to everyone.
• And that's that.
• She's gonna go out the door anyway.
• Oh … the backyard was shut down due to the whatever it was last night and Cliff said they told him they won't get it back until next week.

Tommy's plastic surgery face

Nick needs to stay away from Nicole

Has no sense of personal space
